Wow! This was the most informative, extensive yet concise comparison of any two drones I've seen. You're a wealth of knowledge and have a phenomenal way of delivering it to your fans. Biggest thank you as you have answered every question I had regarding these two comparatively. I can confidently make a choice of my next purchase. Thanks again. Stay awesome!
I'd go with the Air2 S on this one! There's nothing I love better than having a better signal when flying my drone and O3 on my experience is almost 100% reliable!
Jake Sloan love you're videos but you contradict you're self ones in a while you said the 2s has way more precise control input,response and more refined but at 9:36 you say the 2 pro has the upmost level of control or maybe you're just talking about the variable aperture on the 2pro, either way try to be more specific and sometimes battery isnt quite what u say it is but other times youre right on target,again you have great content over all thank you for you're work,very honest and informative and unbiest! Thank you.
4:45 I hate it when my Mini 2 does this at full speed. It's gotten to where it vibrates at around 30mph. I am looking into getting the mini 3 and I was wondering does this happen with the drone at full speed?
I'm a backpacker and love hiking long trips, I had the original mini for a year now and loved it, but the lack of raw photos, and feature limitations has been killing me. I do it as a hobby but needed to upgrade, and I've been considering everything from the mini 2 to the mavic 3. on a budget and needing to go on a trip next week, I can't wait for the mini 3 and the air 2s just seems like a phenomenal option for someone like me who walks a lot and can't trek around with something so heavy. thanks for the phenomenal review, I'm really confident in my purchase! can't wait for it to arrive in 2 days! :)
@@shy8291 Fly them until your heart is content. My mini2 has 4 batteries, all approaching almost 60 cycles, anywhere from 5 minute flights to 20% remaining and never a single hickup or concern of safety whatsoever.
If you can wait and you have a 2,000.00 budget then the mavic 3 will be amazing but if you’d rather not spend that much Tye air 2s is excellent and a HUGE upgrade from the original mavic pro
Both awesome but for me, I have to sick with the 2 pro because I shoot mainly in daylight with ND filters, I have to constantly adjust the AP. 2.8 on a sunny day on the 2 pro washes things out but has the most detail as the sensor is wide open, throw an 32 or 64 ND filter on it and the pro lives up to its name
Awesome comparison video man and so refreshing to see this type of content shot in a wild, beautiful outdoor environment as opposed to a table in someones office/studio
@@JakeSloan Wow.... yet another version! I guess it's really on me to figure out my USE CASE before dropping another $$$. Right now even with my P107, I just fly to improve my skills and take pretty images. As much as I'd like to dump $6-7K into the Mavic Enterprise to get into inspections, my day job just takes up too much time. Oh well. In 3-4 years when I have more time.... by then I should be a skilled pilot. THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS- SIMPLY AWESOME.
exactly right. im a big supporter of use the gear you have (even though I review a lot of the latest and greatest). Thank you so much for the kind words!!
Hey Jake. Thanks for the in-depth revue. Your videos are always informative. I'm about to step up to the Mavic 2 Pro (gently used) from the Mini 2. I can't wait!
DJI Air 2S features DJI's most advanced O3 (OcuSync 3.0) image transmission technology, delivering an ultra-smooth, clear, and reliable image feed.12Km. Max Video Transmission. 1080p. Transmission. 4Antennas. 2.4/5.8GHz Dual Frequency.so i will be getting the air 2s tomarrow very exited🙂
GREAT Video Jake , new subscriber here. Love the straight to the point content delivery... MP2 owner here and a smart controller. Thinking of picking up an Air 2s to compliment the pro 2,so,do you think it worth having both? also if you use the Air 2s with the smart controller ,are you losing out with the benefits of Ocusync 3 ?
Hey anthony, I use the air 2s with the smart controller almost exclusively now and it works very well. I haven’t noticed anything aside from a little extra lag every now and then that would make me go back to the standard controller. If you have the pro 2 the air 2s would be kind of redundant since they are quite similar and the pro still has the advantage of the variable aperture. Now if your pro is starting to falter then I’d definitely get an air 2s to replace it.
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake that is VERY helpful...yes , my MP2 is in good health, and i have 6 batteries and hard case. you have just saved me loads of dosh!!! thank you . I may however pick up a mini 2 or 3 if that comes out soon. thank you and look forward to many more of your vids ! all the best , and happy flying....
Jake, nothing like educating yourself on your new hobby than being in lockdown in Bangkok before my next flight. My son is getting his BS in UAS and I like mountain biking. That said, your choice the 2S, Pro or Skydio. BTW, love your tail dragger as I only get to fly around @ FL450 in a Gulfstream. Great VIDEO, thanks. Blues skies, Jg
Oh nice!!! Sorry about the lockdowns. I have a lot of friends in Thailand and it’s been tough for them to get out much. For me I’d go with the air 2s if you want a mix of traditional drone work and filming yourself stuff. If you primarily want to film yourself then Skydio all the way.
One very important feature of the new lineup of DJI drones (Air 2, Mini 2) that I would add is the new controller is considerably better. I wouldn't get the old Mavics because of the controller alone! The screen is on top now, which is much more convenient. The battery I believe is 2-3 times larger. What's the point of having many flight packs, if the controller dies first?! Also, all of the sticks have more travel, making shooting smooth video considerably easier. The vertical gimbal wheel is much larger, and has more travel. Made a world of a difference to me, shooting professional videos. Also, in my opinion the DJI Fly app is much more intuitive and pleasant to use than the DJI Go4.
i actually have both of these drones. I really think the old controller is better, not because its better at ergonomics or battery life, but because of the display. Ive been saved on numerous occasions when i lose video signal from the drone, and have to rely on the display on the controller to get home judging by the distance from home and the height. That being said, i am still sticking with the air 2s as my main drone because of o3 transmission - i have to worry a lot less about disconnects compared to the m2p.
I don't know the answer to your question, I don't think they would. But DJI includes 4 ND filters with the Air 2S Fly more combo. And I can tell you they are great! I love the locking mechanism, and the case
Great video! New subscriber, seen a couple of your drone reviews I’m trying to decide what drone would work better for me, either the mavic pro 2 or the air 2s I’m looking to do video and pictures shots and just get a good drone
Hello Jake. Great videos. Supernice area to make those.. where..? I am just planning to buy my first drone...I like mavic 2 pro for some reasons..but.. Price is no problem, but winter and minus degrees, and some small things. Because I am living in northern part of Finland, and we have cold sometimes here as well..😊 Have to use some times on minus degrees.....that mavic 2 pro might be good and reliable. Just bought camera for daily use, sony rx 10 iv. And now want good reliable drone... Recommendations for that? Best Regards, Markus Vuorisalo / Finland
Hey Markus, I'd highly recommend the Air 2s, I live in Alaska (where this was filmed) and fly my air 2s in extremely cold temperatures. as cold as -25c so far with no problems!
Shutter should really only be used to change exposure for photos. Video you want to keep the shutter speed 2x the frame rate. Nd filters are a must and can be used however you will end up using ISO changes to get proper exposure when conditions change unless you want to land and change the ND filter for every shot.
For most drone shots you can adjust shutter a bit here and there as the 180 degree rule isn’t as noticeable with such distance to motion. It’s a shame you can’t adjust f stop, order lots of ND options !
Very well done and informative. Sold my Mavic 2 pro for 820€ and just had to invest approx. 250 € for the Air2s, batteries and loading station. Would not pay much more for the small better issues, but just investing 200-300€ for a new drone with increased technology is worth imo. But sorry think I have one critic point: you say the mavic 2 pro is easier to fly in windy conditions. Later you say that the air2s is more stable flying/hovering. Isn’t this contradicting? Or didn’t I get what you wanted to say within this issue?
Love your videos!! I just got the Air 2S! Is the Air 2S your go to for video and photography at the moment? or at least until the Mavic 3 is launched??
If i only want the "dollyzoom mastershot"..... this is the first thing he does. can i abort the rest of the mastershots and the clip will be safed? or will be deleted?
Great video man, you could be talking about lip gloss out on that scenic land and I'd still watch! I thought about switching to the 2S from the Mavic 2 Pro, but I still love this drone and the ability to change aperture.
The Mavic Pro 2 is no longer offered for sale by DJI. Correct me if I'm in error, but here at the end of May 2022, the wisest choice in DJI drone is Mavic 3, Air 2S, or Mini 3 Pro. Anyone? PS. Where have the video DATES gone? They seem to all have disappeared.
I don't know the answer to your question, I don't think they would. But DJI includes 4 ND filters with the Air 2S Fly more combo. And I can tell you they are great! I love the locking mechanism, and the case
Bought a DJI FPV for sexy shots and after flying it I only want it for fun but I'm not getting my Part 107 for recreation and I still have offers to record and make money so I needed this badly. Thank you greatly !
Only thing I don't like about the air 2s is the wider field of view. Would be interesting to see Air 2s cropped to 4k (or 4k 2x zoom) side by side with m2p 4k hq mode.
@@JakeSloan I just bought the air 2s again anyway :P (sold mine awhile back) was a decision between mini 3, m2p and air 2s. As an overall package and if you don't need to be under 250g I think air 2s is still one of the best if not the best.... as a good all rounder, price, ease of use, the way it flies, picture quality, size/weight etc. Any predictions for the air 3?
Occusync is a marketing term for software that DJI has created for the hardware they use. It’s basically a communication protocol that they wrote. So they can add functionality to either one but the software while different uses essentially the same hardware and thus they can be compatible
great comparision. I Have both drones, M2P very solid nice machine but Air2S definitelly better, smaller more compact, better technology, great in flying, iam waiting for M3 to compare it to Air2S
After many reviews i sold my mavic 2 Pro and bought air2s. Impressions are terrible! Air 2S is compared to Mavic 2 pro is piece of sh*t. I Bought it and returned the same day! I am very disappointed!!! it just can’t even be compared. Application is better with mavic 2 pro! M2p flying abilities are incomparable. 03 is ridiculous... after 1 kilometer I lost the signal several times! If you want a drone for fun buy a mini 2. if you want the right thing buy a Mavic 2 Pro. The king is still on the throne! 🤴
5.16 more refined controls. Yes! I fly both of these. I get MUCH better results and far smoother shots with the Air 2s. With the Pro 2, a great drone, I often end up having to retry complicated shots and the sensors often ruin shots for me. The experience on the Air 2s is far greater for me. Variable aperature would have been great. #DJI needs to slow down the CINEMA mode and this camera will be the best yet. I hope they do that soon.
Great comparison and review! Right to the point unveiling obvious things most other reviewers don’t cover. So far hard choice for me as it is my first drone within a while and I want to get something versatile and good for photography. But with your review it is much easier!
One of the best Air 2S vs Pro 2 videos out on the internet. Thank you for creating this, Jake.

Hop you hit 1m soon
Thanks!
Even 2 years later, the best comparison vs out there for these 2 drones.
wow thank you very much
I looked back at my videos taken when I owned the M2P and find that the color surpasses the Air2S. Just my opinion.
It's definitely different and a large part of that has to do with the Hasselblad name and their color science being implemented on the M2P.
I noticed too!
does 5.4k work in the intelligent flight modes like quick shots
No only 4K works for mods like active track etc
Exposure can be changed with ND and shutter not just iso as video states
Shutter should really only be used to change exposure for photos. Video you want to keep the shutter speed 2x the frame rate. Nd filters are a must and can be used however you will end up using ISO changes to get proper exposure when conditions change unless you want to land and change the ND filter for every shot.

Why is the mavic pro 2 so much more expensive if the 2s seems to be a better drone?
The 2 pro is still more professional and higher build quality but I wouldn't buy one now. the Mavic 3 is on its way
@@JakeSloan M3 have little pink picture in right corner and no one show it on reviews and price without smart controller is so no go for this drone.
Jake, awesome review! I have a question though. If the Pro uses Ocusync 2.o and the 2s uses 3.0, how can the Smart controller be used for both?
Occusync is a marketing term for software that DJI has created for the hardware they use. It’s basically a communication protocol that they wrote. So they can add functionality to either one but the software while different uses essentially the same hardware and thus they can be compatible
Great review. You touched on all the important points for me. Thanx for that clip. Subscribe. Keep up the good job.
Thank you!
great comparision. I Have both drones, M2P very solid nice machine but Air2S definitelly better, smaller more compact, better technology, great in flying, iam waiting for M3 to compare it to Air2S
Totally agree
Sooo ……it is good to know I can fly my drone safely in the freezer!
Cheers from sunny/rainy Florida!

Lol you’re welcome!
I had a Mavic Air 2 and after a lot (and I mean a lot) of hassle, I finally got a refund and I'll be getting the 2S.
Nice!
Great comparison video , allowed me to make a choice!
awesome!
So which one did you make?
great review!
Thank you
Nice work!
Thank you!
Good video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
If I were hiking and wanted to bring a quad it would be the DJI Mini 2, if I needed more space the original DJI Mini.
The mini 2 and the original mini are the same size but both are great for hiking because they are so small
Great video
Thank you!
1:47 ISO and shutter speed.
Can be used but not ideal
Guys what drone would you go for after watching this vid?
personally I would get the new DJI Air 3, absolutely fantastic drone
Don't eat yellow snow! Were you writing your name in the snow at 2:47? Lol
NOPE lol
Would you wait for the mavic 3?
I would if you can
Good comparison
Thanks
@@JakeSloan I liked and watched all your videos, thanks for good review and please to Subscribe :)
You lost me when you kept referring to this one over this one when the video showed pics. and not which one you were referring to.
Sorry about that!
@@JakeSloan It's all good. Just some constructive criticism
The zoom in feature is useless because it degrades the footage with a lot of noise
true
After many reviews i sold my mavic 2 Pro and bought air2s. Impressions are terrible!
Air 2S is compared to Mavic 2 pro is piece of sh*t. I Bought it and returned the same day! I am very disappointed!!! it just can’t even be compared. Application is better with mavic 2 pro! M2p flying abilities are incomparable. 03 is ridiculous... after 1 kilometer I lost the signal several times!
If you want a drone for fun buy a mini 2. if you want the right thing buy a Mavic 2 Pro.
The king is still on the throne! 🤴
the pro still holds out as a beast for small but high quality drones, I can't wait to see what the mavic 3 pro brings
On m3 all I want is a bigger battery. I know it will be 6k or 8k camera 60 fps 😀. It's not that important!
@@MojaMoja-bp1kq I hope it’ll be a 60 minute battery, some are saying it’ll very likely be 45 minutes
more precise etc? sure..
it is if you are relying on the drone a lot, if you rely on your pilot skill then they are about the same
5.16 more refined controls. Yes! I fly both of these. I get MUCH better results and far smoother shots with the Air 2s. With the Pro 2, a great drone, I often end up having to retry complicated shots and the sensors often ruin shots for me. The experience on the Air 2s is far greater for me. Variable aperature would have been great. #DJI needs to slow down the CINEMA mode and this camera will be the best yet. I hope they do that soon.
Agreed
Great comparison and review! Right to the point unveiling obvious things most other reviewers don’t cover.
So far hard choice for me as it is my first drone within a while and I want to get something versatile and good for photography. But with your review it is much easier!
Thank you!
mavic 2 has 1 compass and 2 imu, mavic pro 1 has 2 compasses and 2 imus ;)
Oh dang you are right!! Thanks for that here I have been thinking the 2 pro had 2 compass like the original mavic
i take the mavic 2 zoom over the air 2s anyday...faster,more stable and optical zoom >.>
The zoom is a great drone for sure
They really couldn't just let us adjust the aperture on the 2s. It would be perfect
That would be amazing
I guess if they did that it would cost the same as a M2P!
awesome location
thanks
DJI is now in that "Apple" zone where they just keep releasing the same product but slightly alter the specs.
Well that’s true
@@JakeSloan Great comparison video though, so thanks!
