Thanks for the info. If I can clarify one thing: you mentioned repeatedly that you don't have to register the Mini/Mini2 but that only applies to recreational pilots. You and many (most?) of us flying Part 107 do in fact need to register the little guys.
Thanks for sharing brother Aldryn. As always I enjoy your videos and content Sir. God bless and stay safe. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Great rundown on what looks to be a great drone! Very tempted to pick this one up, but I feel like I only just grabbed my Air 2.... hopefully Pro 3 is around the corner
I'm using Air 2 as well, I don't think its a worthy upgrade since the aperture is fixed f2.8 same as Air 2. But if someone who is newly going to buy, can straightaway buy the Air2s
@@sathinallisamy update: I caved and bought the Air 2S and I just love the camera on it, it’s a big difference! Takes off like a rocket and drops like a rock. If those things don’t matter to you, hang on to your Mavic Air 2 👍
Great job Aldryn. The one spec that disappoints here is the lack of a variable aperture. Hard to understand why DJI did not include it except for the need to protect the Mavic line of products.
I’m buying my Air 2S from Best Buy. Which accident coverage would you recommend. Geek Squad drone protection at $399 for 2 years with no out of pocket money, or DJI care refresh at $169 for 2 years with out of pocket money with replacement. Do I need it at all? Maybe you can do a video on the differences and what you would recommend. Thank Bro.
The Air 2s is a nice upgrade to the original mavic pro. You also can’t go wrong with the mini 3 pro with its tiny size. If it’s just for UA-cam stuff and quick deployment, mini 3 pro might be easier as you backpack everything like me.
This drone from DJI MAVIC Air 2S..is my pavorate drone ever...to have this amaizing drone it's in my dream only,I can't afford to buy..but thank you Flytpath...if I watch your review I feel happy...here in Philippine...
Nice run-down! I was really hoping for sport mode using those sensors. Hopefully in a year or two when those small processors have more computing power.
Great video, If you currently own the Mavic Air 2, do you still recommend this as a worthy upgrade? Would you say that the follow me or active track feature comes close to the Skydio 2? Or is it still leaps behind?
@@FlytPath how hard do you think it will be to learn the new controller versus the phantom 3 standard controller? It’s been years since I purchased a drone. Really want to get back into aerial cinematography.
can you test the obstacle avoidance of the Air 2S? like can it avoid side obstacles with APAS 4.0 algorithms even without side sensors like the Mavic 2 does?
Great video Aldryn, love your content here and your photography work is inspiring. I bought a second Mini a few months back and instantly regretted it because it struggles in the wind (I live in the UK and it's constantly windy here!). I've considered buying an Air 2 recently, but the Air 2s looks like a big upgrade and worth the wait to save up the extra cost. Thank you!
Same up in Mansfield I've got the mini2 and I know I should have bought the air2s combo, Watching stores on daily basis if it drops to around £1000 that's enough to make me buy it stay safe.
Good video. Question: The remote controller specs between the Air 2 and Air 2S are slightly different. Correct? Also, can I use the Air 2 drone with the Air 2S remote control?
It goes without saying that it pretty much comes down to the camera. If you already own an Air 2, it's not worth the upgrade, IMO. If you do not yet own the Air 2 and are buying something new in that range, definitely go for the Air 2S. For the first time buyer, I'm not even sure the better camera is worth the extra $300.
Great video, thanks! Are the propellers from the Air 2 interchangeable with the Air 2S? It sounds like everything else in the fly more combo from Air 2 is compatible with the Air 2S, yes??
Thanks for this video! Definitely went over some of the questions I was having regarding this drone.. now all I have to wait is till after the holidays. Definitely packs a punch for the price range. Was contemplating getting the three but comparing price and everything this unit has to offer I think I'm better off sticking with the air2s.
Well done Aldryn....You went in depth on this one... I am definitely Going to but this one..I want to have the whole Air series.. #KeepFlyin & #StayUp Thank You
If you are running O3, how would you use an Air 2 controller, or do they just look the same? Could you use an Air 2S controller with an Air 2 for instance?
So I just got the DJI Fpv and wonder if I made a mistake. I liked the idea of having the Goggles when I fly but there are some cons. I wonder if I should send it back and get the air 2 S.
I'm thinking about my first drone. And now it's between mini2 and air 2s. Which one will you recommend? The purpose it's mostly photos... is it quality OK on mini2? I'm using full frame canon camera and I'm wondering if the quality of mini2 will not be annoying for me... maybe 2s it's the best choice...
And another excellent video, providing very good impression! I own a MA2, as my first "real" drone, for four months now and I can't say that I'm getting greedy to own the S2, nor that I'm disappointed I bought the MA2 at the time. I was afraid that the difference between the MA2 and the S2 would be bigger, with additional side- and/or top-sensors for instance, but to MHO the MA2 is still the best offer, to satisfy the novice drone pilot.
The Air 2S sounds like it's the way to go. The only concern I have is I've seen mention of props showing occasionally in the upper corners. Have you had that happen and is there a way around it? Thanks!!
Thanks for this great review. Do you know if the Air2 has been updated with the same intelligent modes that the Air2S now has? Also, I don't see a link to the sound level video you mentioned in this review toward the end.
I currently have the Mavic 2 Pro but had a bad crash and the drone will be in the shop while I'll need one for another job coming up. Scooped this one and I'm completely surprised how much of a bump up in almost every category it is. Of course the Mavic 3 will be a beast but of course it will
-Looking forward to seeing if they improved the camera if it's really just from the Pro. The Pro's footage was meh at best except for low light.- Answer is while they seemed to have fixed the horribly blurry sensor issue, they still neutered the camera in ways that it's no better really than the 1/2 sensor on the Air 2. Shame.

Just ordered mine. Picking it up after work. Can’t wait to have my first drone!
where was it in stock..?
getting mine tomorrow! packed up my air2 and returning it. one day more and that was expiring! lol
Congrats on your first drone. I'm sure you will love the air 2s. I'm still digging my original mavic mini and mavic air 2!!
Bro, you’re doing a phenomenal job, I am happy you’re on UA-cam! Blessings
Beautiful montage! I think this is now DJI's best cinematic drone!
I always find your review the most comprehensive and you always give good demos for straight comparison between different models. Good work man!
wow that 1 inch sensor does help a lot in low light!
Not even allowed to fly in dark 😂
Um mavic 2 pro has a 1 inch sensor
With all these upgrades in the Air 2S, just how extreme the features will be on the Mavic 3?
Purchase the DJI Air 2S here: geni.us/A2M0vY
FLYTCASE for the Air 2S: www.flytpath.com/products
OH MAN!!!! It definitely looks amazing. Just bought one so I'm gonna have to get your case for the Air 2S now!
Awesome!!
Your video's are AWESOME. And ypu too 🙂
is that 8x zoom lossless or what ?!?....
Hey brother can ask if your family name is from philippines
Do you already have a mavic 2 pro
ND and polariser filters are critical for good footage especially around water and snow
Oh wow! Can't keep up with all these new drones. DJI is on a roll!!!

I'm pretty confident that the mavic 3 pro is coming within 6 months now (or something to replace it)
Can’t wait for the mini 2s. I hope dji add those sensors on the mini.
Great video, love your content and editing is top notch!!👌🏻Best regards from your fan in Finland☀️

Much appreciated!
Best review I've seen so far 👍 I'm waiting for the Mavic 3
A very well constructed and highly informative video from one who clearly knows what he is talking about. Thank you!
Awesome, I'm definitely upgrading form my Mini 2, making hiking videos is going to get better!
Cool drone as always cool explanations
Thanks 👍
Thanks I always go to your video reviews first. Nice to hear about the Batt being compatible!
I was waiting for your video for this drone, thank you so much! that was awosome as usual.
So when is the Mini2S coming out? I think the size of the mini is the way to go.
This drone from DJI MAVIC Air 2S..is my pavorate drone ever...to have this amaizing drone it's in my dream only,I can't afford to buy..but thank you Flytpath...if I watch your review I feel happy...here in Philippine...

I love it when I have to watch only one new product review. 👊👍
Glad you like them!
Great review!! Coming from the DJI Phantom 2 days, I cannot believe how advanced these drones have gotten. Thank you for the comprehensive comparison.
I have the Mavic Air 2 and already thought that it's an amazing drone, in your opinion is it worth the upgrade?
The Air 2S looks great, especially with that 20mp photo capability and one-inch sensor. Awesome video and great montage :)
Great video, as always from you!
However, I was waiting for your opinion on the obvious question, should I upgrade from the A1?
Great video Aldryn - did you see props the shots at some point, I was kind a surpised to see that
Nice!!! Awesome information as always Aldryn!! Looking for the prop noise comparison video now though!! Keep up the great work you do with Flytpath!!
i got the 2S combo and LOVIN IT
You mentioned the digital zoom features in the video category but is there digital zoom in taking pictures as well?
Great video...Is there anyway , I could use my MINI Ipad with the controller ?????
Really comprehensive video. Is it really worth getting the extra controller v a phone? I've never owned a drone but love photography. Thank you
Im glad i found this channel before buying my first drone
Does the DJI Air 2S have optical zoom for video and or photo modes? Great video, keep them coming.
Awesome vid. I think DJI are dropping Mavic and turning it into Air. May God bless you all, much Love.
Thanks for the informative videos! I finally made my decision and got an Air 2S. So much more confidence while flying vs the other brand I tried.
Great video, If you currently own the Mavic Air 2, do you still recommend this as a worthy upgrade? Would you say that the follow me or active track feature comes close to the Skydio 2? Or is it still leaps behind?
Just bought it for my business and it is amazing!!! Thank you for the review!
Excellent review. This new addition seems to be the ultimate upgrade.
So honest opinion, should you upgrade from the air 2?
I can't answer that. That depends if you need higher quality images, better low light and better obstacle avoidance.
@@FlytPath how hard do you think it will be to learn the new controller versus the phantom 3 standard controller? It’s been years since I purchased a drone. Really want to get back into aerial cinematography.
@@Mauriceandcarolyn this controller is wayyyy better in the hands.
@@FlytPath awesome thank you for replying. Is there a comparable mount to mount a ipad, or is it ok to just use the phone? I have an iPhone 11pro.
@@Mauriceandcarolyn the mavic Air II was my first drone and it was so easy to fly with the new controller.
Does the orange tipped propellers give any benefit over the propellers you get on the Air2?
can you test the obstacle avoidance of the Air 2S? like can it avoid side obstacles with APAS 4.0 algorithms even without side sensors like the Mavic 2 does?
