I ordered this drone on release date apr 15 without knowing it just came out. lol. I just got it delivered today, stumbled across this video and have to say you did an amazing job with this video. great information and such beautiful shots! now to go make some amateur content from a brand new drone owner. lol
Now that travel restrictions are starting to ease up, I feel like it's a good time to get a new drone. Dreaming of getting the Air 2S and travelling with it.
Awesome review Tom, Can you tell me if you can take photos at the same time as recording video? I dont always shoot in 4k but 1080p 60 as feel sometimes I dont need more than that for video when shooting videos of trains. Thoughts?
Curious why it doesn't have aperture control. I can't figure out if I think that's a deal breaker or not for me but it seems like an silly market segmentation decision to me - they're probably keeping aperture control for the pro model.
I think they just made a decision to separate the pro "mavic" line from the "cheap, amateur" Air/Mini. They gave us best camera and some tricks like Mastershots, but at the same time they remove some advanced functions, SDK (third party software support like Litchi) in Mini2 (DJI doesn't answer questions abut A2s SDK support), waypoints and of course aperture. So I think I need to wait and think twice before buying it.
Just picked one up, now I'm backing tracking YT videos to catch some reviews and I knew I should catch your take on it. Thanks for a great video. Hello Iceland, from Alabama, USA.
Into was like something out of a Game Of Thrones trailer! Incredible video/editing along with an epic voice over. Review was on point as always, really appreciate you uploading ungraded photos so people can really see the quality along with testing video editing performance for themselves.
Really sucks they don’t put side sensors on these mid range drones. I can’t decide what to get as I need to use active track in parallel mode and don’t want to end up in a tree.
The video of the church where you first showed the video quality. Did you edit it any or is it raw video? Also is it possible to use two monitors on these drones? Such as an iPhone and a iPad both linked to the camera?
Thanks for a great review! I just ordered an Air 2S :) As I am a beginner with very little experience, which video editing software would you recommend? As I have a 2020 Mac Book Pro I have iMovie but if there is a even better tool for a novice I am ready to spend some money on that.
great review, great drone. I think I will get this one as my first drone :) I wanted the mini 2, because of the portability and the sub 250gr , but it just lacks so many features, the most important being the small sensor, active track and the obstacle avoiding sensors. So i think I will just order this one and be happy with it :D PS: I really like the photo capability of the A2S too.
@eduar ed not yes, maybe I will get this until I go in vacation in august. But the mini 2 would be enaugh for that too... I'm still thinking about what to get.
Clear, no nonsense, review. Subscribed. Suggestion: similar review of Smart Controller with 2s. Question: Do propeller guard rails affect drone performance?
Hi Tom, great video mate What is your recommendation for editing footage in post? Hobbyist level with a macbook pro, imovie or something more? Thanks buddy
What a wonderful review and video in general! Thanks Tom :) And thanks for uploading your files to download, I'm planning on getting an Air 2S anyway (Got an MA2 a month ago but honestly...not happy with it) but it's good to practise beforehand!
I have the original DJI Air and Phantom 4P ..... every time I fly my drones I am amazed at just how good they are. Quality products. Going to order my Air 2S today.
What amazing footage you shot with the S2 - very impressive and a great review video as well! Iceland loos great, I never knew though that you used imperial measurements there, I thought it was only the US and Britain that used them - you learn something new every day as they say, unfortunately I haven't a clue of them LOL
If I didn't live in New Zealand I would definitely sing up for your video classes your chanell is awesome I need to learn more about the camera settings and how to download onto computers etc
The short movie is incredible !! Would so like to see how it would be with the AIR 2 to compare both quality. On your previous vid about AIR 2, it has so much grains, is this only related to lens or environment plays a huge role also ?
HI Tom, could you share some details on the temperature. My understanding is that DJI states the S2 shouldn't fly under temperature of 0 degrees Celcius. Looking forward to your response.
Hi, those stills seem to be in good focus through the image, I was concerned that landscape stills focus would be compromised over the image with a shallow dof with the fixed aperture, I’d love to know your thoughts on this with experience of taking stills using this drone? Thanks for a great video, amazing content. 👏
Is there any flying circumstance where the propellers break into the scene? With previous models, speeding up normally ends with the propeller messing the video...
Ive seen videos with the Air 2s where the props come into the video. I believe this can be avoided by disabling the APAS. For me a bigger concern is the incorrect altitude that people are facing. Tom, did you face any of these, what are your thoughts?
Sorry, I know this is a drone review but MY GOD the quality of your video, the color, the sharpness, the production value in general is so far off the charts, it's beyond amazing and feels like I'm watching a movie made by a Hollywood studio. Would you consider doing a video on how you made/edit your videos?
just downloaded and color graded the footage also to check if my laptop could handle the 10 bit D-log footage is so crisp and my laptop handles it perfectly fine, conclusion im definitely buying this drone to up my game just a bit
Thanks for a good review with awesome footage. I really want to get back into drone flying and this would be perfect for me, if not for the missing C marking or information on what will happen regarding these drones in the near future. Still looks like fantastic tech though.
I want to sell my p4p + for this, just, two questions, what is the gimbal made of? I looked on a forum and someone said its made from aluminium?? Also how durable is it in strong winds? I'm contemplating hanging onto my p4p due to the fact that it's bigger, can handle wind better, but that 1 inch 5.4k sensor is so tempting.
Thanks for uploading the full res clips. I think this camera is impressive in the amount of detail it’s resolving at 5.4K, at least in the center of the image. All that resolution combined with f2.8 seems to be revealing pretty visible softening in the margins (field curavature? Or just bad corners), and surprisingly, away from the point of focus when it’s focused at infinity. That’s too bad. No camera is perfect, but it does seem that the optics are running a little behind the sensor and codec on this one.
mov for Apple devices, mp4 for Windows/android. It's just the same inside (same compression and quality) just different "container", so no difference at all.
What a impressive and beautiful area you live 🤩🤩. Lucky one 🤪 Great video. I have the air2. Which is great but the camera 1 inche is great The air 2 has a HDR video but not the new one air2s. Do you think it’s a shame? Thanks 🙏🏼
Tom, I am in the middle of enjoying this video, and youtube inbedded an ad. I wonder if there is no way to make it so they wait until the end. The content is that good, its simply to disruptive.
Great review as always Tom. I do wonder why DJI keep making drones capable of flying say 7 miles whilst most countries have laws saying it’s not allowed out of visual line of sight?
The video quality is so freaking good! Can't wait to see what the mavic 3 will bring on the table!

Can you do video where you compare the mavic 2 pro to the air 2s
Wow, Iceland is a pretty incredible place for drone footage.
Well done, dude.
the only OG drone review I will watch on UA-cam
Awesome review Tom, Can you tell me if you can take photos at the same time as recording video? I dont always shoot in 4k but 1080p 60 as feel sometimes I dont need more than that for video when shooting videos of trains. Thoughts?
Danke für ein erneutes hervorragendes Review. Deine Videos und die Webseite sind von höchstem Niveau. Weiter so!

@@atomic7719 got it today and it’s amazing going on a holiday next week I may upload some footage.
Disregarding budget factor, can the Air 2S be considered the best beginner's drone with all the sensors and user-friendly features?
Yes. This and the Air 2 are probably the best newbie drones to go for for their cost.
Just picked one up, now I'm backing tracking YT videos to catch some reviews and I knew I should catch your take on it. Thanks for a great video. Hello Iceland, from Alabama, USA.
3:12 Why is the drone sitting in the air crooked? The gimbal is doing its job but the drone itself is crooked.
Wind

Great job tom. Safe travels my friend.. be well
Mikey
Haven't seen a word from you for a while, good to know you are good. Stay healthy and good luck! ❤️
Hey Tom, thank you so much for the raw file downloads. Extremely helpful. I'm on the verge of deciding whether to go for Air 2s.
3:02 i think you missed a sticker on the back of the gibel arm :)
wow man amazing quality. what settings are you using on the 2s? you should make a video of your settings you use
Awesome video Tom! Clear tech info and great image quality comparisons
Most underrated channel on UA-cam! Keep up the awesome work Bro!
Will the nd filters from the M2P work on the camera?
What was the weather temp when you took shots of the church? I stay in Canada so just wondering how it would do in winter over here.
Really sucks they don’t put side sensors on these mid range drones. I can’t decide what to get as I need to use active track in parallel mode and don’t want to end up in a tree.
Where was the volcano footage shot ?
Love your content, man! Keep up the awesome work!
Nice volcano shots!! Iceland is amazing
The video of the church where you first showed the video quality. Did you edit it any or is it raw video? Also is it possible to use two monitors on these drones? Such as an iPhone and a iPad both linked to the camera?
I have a question about waypoints. Can you only use the waypoints when you use hyperlapse or can you use them for normal filming?
Dude this is a ridiculously good review, and the footage at the beginning had me at the edge of the seat.
Tom, don't you find that the camera is way too close to the ground? Have you felt the necessity to purchase the additional legs?
texted from telegram
Hello Tom! Have you had any problem with having the propellers in your shoots/movies? If yes, how did you fix the problem. Thanks
Thanks for a great review! I just ordered an Air 2S :) As I am a beginner with very little experience, which video editing software would you recommend? As I have a 2020 Mac Book Pro I have iMovie but if there is a even better tool for a novice I am ready to spend some money on that.

@eduar ed not yes, maybe I will get this until I go in vacation in august. But the mini 2 would be enaugh for that too... I'm still thinking about what to get.
To be fair, for professional use, it's reasonably priced given all those superior features.
Don't you think it's shaking a lot while flying ?
Absolutely love your videos! The best! I do have the Mavic 2 pro and absolutely love it, so I think I will wait for the Mavic3pro. Thanks again
Where do you edit your photos? P.s. great review 👌
how much of a disadvantage is the lack of side sensors?
Hey Tom it’s lovely to see your videos . I am from India . I want to ask you if the Mavic mini 2 has a self timer to take nice selfies
Very impressive production with the 2S. thank you for the review.
Thanks for giving us test footages! Im buying one tomorrow!!! Cant wait :)
Clear, no nonsense, review.

Just bought the Air 2s today. exciting times ahead!
Does anyone know how to turn on the HDR on the DJI Air 2S?
Wie sehr ich die Arbeit schätze die du in deine Videos steckst👌🏻
Where are the hyperlight photo functions on the air2s ?
I have seen much discussion about issues with the props showing during master shots. Did you experience that?
Perfekt! Farbe, Kino, fast perfekt. * Für heute natürlich. )

hello, I notice in the video that H on the left side was giving a - negative height number while u fly so high how is that ? does it defect drone ?!!
Awesome review. Iceland is so freakin' sweet, one of my fave places on earth too. Cool location for this review. Thanks Tom!
Hi from Ireland. Enjoyed the video thanks.
HI Tom, could you share some details on the temperature. My understanding is that DJI states the S2 shouldn't fly under temperature of 0 degrees Celcius. Looking forward to your response.
Tom have you ever had an issue with the mavic 2 after latest update? mi drone doesn't connect with the remote.
Great review! Thanks for image and footage sample.
Sorry Tom. I kept thinking I was clicking on the wrong video.
This is a great review, once I figured out I had the correct one. Thanks!
Absolutely perfect a video Tom's Congratulations brother 🕊🕊👏👏👍
As always.. a brilliant review
Thanks for a fantastic professional and detailed review Tom!
Loved it!
( I 'm saving my pennies .....well, Swedish crowns actually ! ;-) )
What video recording res does active track work on?
Comparing its camera with Mavic 2pro camera wich is better?
Totally Awesome! Congrats!

Great tutorial on the Air 2s. Your link for Drone School gave an error code 404. Thank you.
Does it record HDR?
Great review as always.
Excellent presentation!
Thank you for your review!
just downloaded and color graded the footage also to check if my laptop could handle the 10 bit D-log
footage is so crisp and my laptop handles it perfectly fine, conclusion im definitely buying this drone to up my game just a bit
Excellent review, my compliments! Why use miles/hour, and not simply km/h?
Great review!, thank you!
Thanks for a good review with awesome footage. I really want to get back into drone flying and this would be perfect for me, if not for the missing C marking or information on what will happen regarding these drones in the near future. Still looks like fantastic tech though.
That’s awesome 👍
Opening footages are amazing. Truly professional and inspiring 👍

I'm contemplating hanging onto my p4p due to the fact that it's bigger, can handle wind better, but that 1 inch 5.4k sensor is so tempting.
i would def get ahold of you if I wanted to fly in zero ....nice 2 see...looks awsum
Extreme video! Thanks
9:55 That could be for mavic 3 pro :D
Very good video !!!
That intro was fire 🔥
great shots hoping that someday i became like you
fantastic video
Mine won't even do half a mile without completely losing signal. I've tried on dual, 2.4 and 5.8, all no different.

No camera is perfect, but it does seem that the optics are running a little behind the sensor and codec on this one.
Great video 👍
I was at best buy and was between the air 2 and the 2s. I'm not a pro shooter so just for me I got the air2. I think it's awesome
Which profile is recommendedto record in, mov or mp4?
mov for Apple devices, mp4 for Windows/android.
It's just the same inside (same compression and quality) just different "container", so no difference at all.
What a impressive and beautiful area you live 🤩🤩. Lucky one 🤪
Great video. I have the air2. Which is great but the camera 1 inche is great
The air 2 has a HDR video but not the new one air2s. Do you think it’s a shame?
Thanks 🙏🏼
@J D how sorry. I wanted to write great instead of free. Sorry 😅
Awesome videos!
Tom, I am in the middle of enjoying this video, and youtube inbedded an ad. I wonder if there is no way to make it so they wait until the end. The content is that good, its simply to disruptive.
Sad that course lock/tap fly has not be included....
Great review as always Tom.
I do wonder why DJI keep making drones capable of flying say 7 miles whilst most countries have laws saying it’s not allowed out of visual line of sight?
All cars can run 200km/h. But not everywhere can run at that speed.
