THANK YOU! I wish there was a key layout template of this kind of stuff
Thanks Billy! I ordered the Magic Air 2 this morning and just canceled the order to get the upgrade-DJI Air 2s based on the sensor. I had pursued over the specs when I ordered and saw the MP higher on the Mavic Air 2 and ordered without really considering the camera upgrade and 1 inch sensor. Thanks so much...about to bicycle touring for three years around the world!
I was about to do the same but the Mav 2 flymore is now $789 and the AirS flymore is $1299 $510 more. I can't decide.
The propellers are a cosmetic difference, but are compatible just like the batteries. I love it. Great video.
Man. Thanks. You talk so plainly about all this an spoke to exactly what I was debating about. Definitely helped in making my decision
I watch lots of reviews and I must say that you have a gift. Your videos are really good because of your presentation and editing. The information is really the same as other channels but you present it in a way that gives the viewer a fresh look. Your natural style comes across as interesting and trustworthy. Congrats and keep it up!
I agree! The difference is he doesn’t waste our time with bull shit antics and slapstick. He just gets to the heart of the matter.
Yeah hes quick, informative and does his research and doesnt waffle on about irrelevant subjects, always stays on topic
Spot-on, Billy . Very thorough comparison.
Great video Billy boy! Keep em coming!
Absolutely love your videos you make so much more sense than so many other drone youtubers trust me everyone this is the man to go to if you want to know anything about drones 😁✌ peace
I upgraded from the Mini 1 to the Air 2S. If I had the Mavic Air 2 I'd want the new upgrades, but I'd be happy with the Mavic Air 2 until something better came out. I was planning on buying a Mavic Air 2, but I waited for the Air 2S. Happy I did. Thanks for the video BK!
Amazing review!! Thank you, just purchased the Air 2S Fly More Combo thanks to your video in particular!
Thanks for the helpful and informative video. Keep up the great work.
Informative video as usual Billy, thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERY DETAIL COMPARISON
I have to say, as my first hyperlapse was made today, it processed SUPER fast! The pictures were awesome and the video turned out GREAT!
thank you for the sample footage you're a legend.
i love your comparison shots!
Great comparison video Billy. I would suggest that the Air 2S is a better upgrade for a person coming from a Mavic Mini or Mini 2 opposed to a Mavic Air 2. I think the Air 2S is a better proposition than the Mavic 2 Pro at this juncture in time.
Great video, lots of valuable information. Just hope the audio is adjusted for the next video.
Great information as always 👍 I have both now, and I enjoy flying and the good pictures and videos 📹 😀
Great video Bill. I love the Air2s , Mt son just bought the Mavic Air2. We are both very happy 😊
Great job Billy! Your video is as good as any as I've seen on YT :) There is a lot of confusion about the 48 Mp sensor. I compared it to my Nikon D850 (46 Mp) and the luminance resolution is similar. Of course you have the feed the 1/2 sensor a lot of light to make similar photos. So I agree with you on the selection of the A2s over the A2 in every category. Again, good job!
Thank you man you really help me to decide what drone i will buy :) good job please record more videos full support :)
Bought the mavic air 2 just before they announced the air 2s. Been loving it so far, will stick with it for now :)
Loving my Air2 too, if i m considering an upgrade, it won't be Air2S, not worth it for me.
@@manmacgy exactly
I had the choice between the two and chose the Air 2 over the Air 2S.
@@3qgc
Definitely not worth the upgrade they're really reaching now It doesn't really make a difference on social media not what video compression.
They've already proven this difference is no big deal with the one in sensor when they put it up against the mavic 2 pro
They just keep trying to get you to upgrade trying to take your money every year.. give you a little bit more how can we steal that money this time..
Nope nope nope not for me especially now with this new remote ID thing hanging over our heads new rules..
Things are going to change..
@@muzikmon2267 Thank you for the reply! Very much appreciated. I understand completely where you're coming from!
Thanks very much for your presentation! I upgraded from the Air 2 to the Air 2S and I am wondering if you use your smart controller vs. the stock controller? I initially had difficulty linking the Air 2S with my SC but now it seems to work well. I haven't tested the range yet except for about 3000 feet which went well but there were no obstructions between me and the drone. Thanks Billy and I would appreciate your take on using the SC vs. the stock controller.
Man , that was so detailed show 👌🏻
Very useful and well structured video!
Just picked mine up today very happy to have it
Thenk you for this video, and for the demo pics and videos to compare the two drones. I fly a DJI Spark right now, but am looking at either of these two....leaning towards the A2S.
I loved my Sparky!
Hey Billy! Great video! I was looking for ND filters and a bunch of them said "Not compatible with the Air 2s" Do you have any options?
Also, I saw the footage on the Evo II in your list... What would you pick now that you have the Air 2s?
Incredible review!!!! Thank you so much!!
This video really made it easy to make a confident choice. I choose the air2. I went from phantom 3 standard to this drone. Major difference
Your video's are the best. Seriously
It was a nice comparison. Thanks
Good video brother. Been playing with my mini 2 for awhile now. Might have to get a 2s now. Like that obstacle avoidance and better camera. That is the same transmission system as the mini 2?
Even with the compression of UA-cam’s app you can still see a huge difference so I can only imagine… I’m sold
I am buying right now and the Mav 2 is now $500 less than the Air 2 S. Would you still buy the Air 2 S fly more for $1299 over the Mav 2 flymore at $789?
spectacular review
Thanks. Well done again.
When DJI is being generous on their upgrades, the wisest thing to do is grab it with both hands! 😁
Very good review, excellent, one question, the 2s, the drone have ocusync 3.0, with 4 antennas, but the controller is ocusync 2.0, how is the transmission better if both are not 3.0? Thanks.
The remote is just a reciever while the drone is the transmitter idk how they do it but it's how it works
Hey Great REview Bud. IS the Mavic Air2 Smart Controller compatible with Air2S ? Do we have to do any additional config/set up to make them compatible ?
Hey Billy! Do you have any Final Cut Pro Luts for grading D-Cinalike on the Mavic Air 2 I could download?
Thank you for the great information and advice
For Fly More combo + DJI Care Refresh + Taxes you are paying ~$400 more for the A2S vs MA2. For those that need (or just want) that professional camera the A2S is probably worth the price differential for the Fly More combo. DJI bumped the Fly More Combo differential to $300 vs $189 for MA2 Fly More Combo....but you do get 1 extra ND filter with the A2S Fly More Combo for that extra $111 price delta. Hope it's a really good ND filter. Also the CareRefresh is $20 more for the A2S...and obviously taxes are higher for the A2S. I'm jussayin keep that in mind when you are making that decision and looking at the Fly More combo with CareRefresh.
Also keep in mind that the CareRefresh Replacement costs are higher for the A2S vs MA2:
1st Replacement: A2S ($119) vs MA2 ($69)
2nd Replacement : A2S ($149) vs MA2 ($99)
Fly away: A2S ($499) vs MA2 ($399)
Great video thank you 🙏
Well doing my friend nice simple informative
thanks for this video it was very informative, i am researching the difference between the Mavic air 2 and the 2S. i see only the Air 2S is available from DJI as the Mavic air has been discontinued. however i have seen both on Ebay listed for sale. what is your opinion of buying a drone off ebay.
Love my MA2, but super jonzed that this new one came out with better options, especially the 1" camera! Oh well, been enjoying the Air 2 for a year, great tool nonetheless.
Nice job. Thanks.
Do you compress videos and photos for Instagram? I have been suggested the Handbrake software
Hi Billy. Love from the Philippines. Can you compare night shots?
Good comparison!
Thanks for the review... My Air2S is on the way... but those 8K hyperlapse looks juicy...
Billy. Dale from Toronto, Ontario in Canada. Have you had any luck with the problem of the Autel Evo 2 drifting left, bobbing up and down and any other issues? Any other problems that have been fixed with firmware? I am looking forward to buying the Autel Evo 2 Smart Controller. I am in need of a reliable shooter that makes a great package with their new Smart Controller that is supposed to be out sometime this month in May 2021.
I upgraded from a spark to an air 2 a little over a year and a half ago. It's been great. I won't be upgrading. Maybe in a few years I'll get a new one but I love my air 2
I just sold a mint condition Mavic 2 pro, took a bit of a hit , I'm thinking about the Air2s and want to know your opinion on this and the Autel Evo 2 pro head to head , I am liking the camera interchangeable thing it opens up many possibilities , although the chip thing with Autel bothers me a little at this point (7/9/21) and if the few limitations they put on the air 2s to leave room for the mavic 3 is very relevant or back to ,do you think it's a better drone for the price and also just flat out disregarding the price tag, I live near 2 airports not crazy about the geo fencing either, especially now because you have to go through h fAA as well.
Hey Billy Great video! Do you think the Air 2 or the Air 2S is to complex for someone that has never flown a drone? Should I be looking at the Mini 2 instead? Thanks!
Complex? They use the same controller and have sensors all around. They are easier than the mini 2.
I love my mini 2 but i have to be more careful than when I fly my P4 Pro+
Did you fly over the charred remains of playland? It was only about 1000ft to the north west of the drone at 9:42
Well done on the film Does anyone know when the release date of the mavic air 3s skimmer will be and an estimate of how much it will cost
I bought my Air 2 on day 1 last year. Really tempted to upgrade to the A2S. I do a lot of low light shots that come out with a lot of noise
Hey Billy I live close to center city is there time to meet up and show me more about my 2s and editing on Final Cut Pro?
Will the DJI Smart Controller work with the A2S? I crashed my Air II. I am going to replace with the Air 2S if the controller is compatible... great video (as always).
Great description , could you add a night filming comparison ?
Hey Billy DJi Mavic two pro I had an update lately for battery is not charged when was too long do you think it was more into that do you think DJI degraded The Drone quality they do that sometimes did you have the update did you see any difference please let us know I will greatly appreciate it
Good video Billy
Question, would you choose the Mavic Air 2 + Smart Controller or Air 2S with the Standard controller. Trying to keep the total cost under the $1,500.00
Looking to upgrade from the first mini to either the Air 2 or 2S. Currently at Best Buy the fly more bundle for the 2 is $790 and $1300 for the 2S… other than a few extra gimmicks is it worth the price difference to go with the 2S? Thanks
Is there a mount for my cell phone to watch the live video? I am looking at the fly more pack.
Another Great video.
However, There many DJI drone owners that are looking to upgrade to the DJI Air2S that would like to know if their investment in the DJI Smart controller/Crystal Sky tablet/DJI Goggles are compatible with Air 2S.
Your video would have been much more informative if you had included this information in your video.
Thank You, Big Fan!
Woah congrats on 100k subs dude. Great comparison vid.
Thumbs up well done, full view 👍
In Fall of 2022 is the Air 2 still worth the buy? I’m going to upgrade from my DJI Spark. They just dropped the price of the Air 2 to $550 which is significantly below the price of the Air 2s. What do you think? Or should I wait for the air 3 because the Air 2 is 2 years old now.
This is a slap in the face to the EVO II drone. I have been on the fence about buying my 1st drone but this 2S has the camera I want at a lot less than the EVO II. The batteries for this drone are 50% less than the EVO II. This is perfectly positioned price wise for me and I can still afford an iPad mini!!! win!
Is there a way to take a screen shot in video zoom mode since there is no zoom option in picture mode? Guess you can screen shot from your iPhone itself.?
Can use the batterys of the 2 on the 2s ????
The fact that the Air 2S is being closely likened to the Mavic 2 Pro than the Air 2 says a lot about the improvements they did on this drone! It's that good an upgrade
You should be proud of yourself. You are a good presenter. You can do this entire video in one take - no cuts I can tell or very few.
Simp
Do you buy these yourself or does DJI send them to you?
Billy you are the best reviewer.
Philly looks so nice from above
Why does the Air2s crop in on anything above 4K 30fps?
DOes the air 2s replace the future air 3?
What video software do u use.
How many prise???
Please run more reviews about Skydio 2, thanks
I enjoyed the video, very informative. I'm about to purchase my very first drone, never even flown one. I think the extra $200 is a no Brainer. I want to make sure my first purchase will give my little reason to have to purchase something better for a couple of yrs at least. My main purpose is for scouting hunting areas, mostly plains, and tracking deer and coyote movement habits. Am I on the right track in my thinking? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
What software to use for the Mavic Air 2S for 2D mapping and 3D modeling?
If u want to build digital surface model dsm and ortho mosaic, u can use Agisoft metashape
Thanks
Fully agree with all your comments.. my biggest annoyance as a Air2 owner is they upgraded too early i feel.. I bought an Air2 in June20, it came out only a few months earlier? A little bit annoying that it’s now out of date after a year!! Thanks DJI, not happy as everyone goes for the newest model, and certainly don’t expect a facelift in a year of a new drone ?? 👎
My thoughts, but your video is spot on!
So upgrading from a Spark/phone i'm assuming the Air 2s would be the better upgrade? I wan to shoot pictures and videos of family when we take trips.
I've been using the Air 2 and Air 2S. Regarding the Air 2S, you can't shut off the downward sensors to land in hand, and I don't want to put tape over the sensors. Switching to sport mode doesn't fix the problem. Now we have to mess with focus on the Air 2S. The focus should be fixed like Air 2, and most other drones. Air 2S is much noisier than Air 2--loud even at 1000 feet. Everyone knows there's a drone in the air but that wasn't the case with Air 2. Finally, the Air 2 is cheaper and flies longer. So it's not as simple as many of these videos suggest.
Just learning to fly drones! I plan on buying the Air 2S soon. Thanks for tge great video!!!!
Team, Is anyone having issues with connectivity? IMU issues? Frozen remote, lost signal?
I noticed that you left out the mastershots feature that the Air 2S offers and the Air 2 does not. Was there a reason for that? I have both the Air 2 and Air 2S. I want to primarily use the Air 2 for Scenic shots and the Air 2S for Commercial use. As of right now though, I find myself using the Air 2S more and more these days than the Air 2. Now I am resigned to using the Air 2 as a back up option if something happens to the Air 2S and I have downtime of being without a drone. I don't have the financials resources right now to upgrade to the Mavic 3. If that becomes an option, I will definitely make plans on working with the Mavic 3 and Air 2S and upgrade my controller to the RC Pro to swap back and forth between both drones. I noticed that according to DJI's website that the Mavic Air 2 is not compatible with the new RC Pro controller and the Mavic Air 2S is.
I have been looking for a replacement for my two P4's for some time. I was very disappointed with the P4 Pro. The videos were not as sharp, the colors washed out, the cameras were bigger and heavier and tended to wobble when the drone was going sideways, ruining my videos, and they had mechanical issues like compasses that would not stay calibrated, the things would slowly rotate in a circle and not stay pointing at what I was shooting, and antennas that would cut out every few seconds even when the drone was sitting right in front of me. I tried both version 1 and 2 of the P4 Pro and even the Advance model. Sold them all at a loss and kept the P4's. I tried the original Mini but that's practically a toy in comparison. It has a slew of issues. The controller is terrible. The sticks are stiff and hard to manipulate. Trying to make smooth turns while making other adjustments is like trying to draw a circle with an Etch-a-Sketch. Impossible. The range is also terrible. Fly over a tree and you immediately lose signal. There is no fan inside the drone and there is poor air circulation, so if you have your drone sitting on the ground waiting for an event to start it will overheat and display a multitude of warnings or just shut down. The compass never stays calibrated. Every time you move to another spot you have to do the calibration dance. I hear the Mini 2 fixes the range issue and has a better controller, but I'm looking for something better. I uploaded to UA-cam so even in 4k it's likely the camera quality improvement between the 2 and 2s won't make much difference. The problem I have with my P4 and mini are neither shoots 4k in 30fps. The mini doesn't even shoot 4k. So you get choppy video at 24fps on the P4. The mini 2 at least supports 4k 30fps I believe. The ONE thing that appeals to me to upgrade to the 2S is the greater range. I do a lot of flying out in the open, scenic videos. Range is VERY important to me. If the controller is smooth and the range is good and the video is at least 4k 30fps that's what I'm interested in.
What modes were the images captured in?
Is active track better in 2s ?
Anyone knows if the Air 2s is compatible with The DJI FPV goggles? Thanks!
I think having both is the jam.
Great video! As a side note, my 1st and middle names are William Kyle... Billy Kyle
