great updated review, buddy... I do like the master shots it has and the active track would be awesome!
I upgraded from the original Mavic Mini, and I absolutely love it. The quality and the control are just a joy to work with. Great video!
Great video Darren👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Agree with this! Love my Air 2S even more now with the firmware updates. So glad I got this drone!
Thank you Doug 😊
Great video as always Darren. Got the Air2S when it came out in April in UK and no regrets. Firmware updates have definitely improved it even further. Another bonus compared to Mini2 is extra headroom with 5.4k 10-bit video - this has saved my bacon when editing down to 4k timeline and the ability to crop, pan, zoom to correct minor flying errors. Shame that Mastershots and ActiveTrack aren't available when shooting 5.4k (doubt it'll ever come via firmware updates as higher res is resource intensive) but can always drop back to 4k to use those as needed.
Yes I agree completely with everything you had said , active track 5.4k would be very nice I hope for it I really do!
Thank you for the honesty and great advice
Thank yoy
Yes!!! And I believe Air 2S is going to get better and better over time just like the Mini 2.
Hey Darren, another great review video. I appreciate you updating on this, and telling us how you use the Mini 2 and Air 2s for $$$. ;) Keep the videos coming!
Thank you 😊 more coming soon
There are deals out there. I live in Ireland and bought the Air 2S Fly More Combo at a euro 180 discount from one of the main consumer retailers here this week. Your reply to one of my comments (about your re-evaluation) was one of the deciding factors. As always, keep you the great work, Darren. Your videos are engaging and offer valuable and down-to-earth advice (no pun intended).
Thank you that’s really nice, yes good deals could be had for sure and then you got a really good drone
Great video Darren I love the Air2S
Thank you buddy
Awesome combo !
Yes best combo !
Thanks for update 👍
Thanks Darren i just passed my A2 CofC fast course via UAVHub with the video you recommended and also just got an upgrade to the air 2s from the mini 2 from this video many thanks keep up the great content.
Oh wow well done on both that is awesome !
Awesome video!
Great overview of both Drones...😀🇬🇧
Thank you 🙏
Great review. Cheers my friend
Thank you 🙏
Great to see you're now enjoying it and no doubt it's fantastic with that 1 inch sensor but it wasn't a big enough upgrade for me from the MA2 and I had purchased the DJI fpv not long before it released so I couldn't justify getting it but I'm all in when the Mavic 3 Pro eventually drops, looking like Q1 2022 going off of recent rumours/leaks, so I'm happy with the MA2 it does nearly everything the Air2 S does except for the better camera, great vid Darren and your Wales trip pic's look fantastic 👍
Or was it Cornwall more recently, pic's look great regardless 👍
The Wales video will be coming soon 😊 yes it’s great for me but maybe from the m2 not worth it , glad your enjoying the fpv :-)
@@DMProductions it's a hoot mate I be beaming and have the shakes after each flight, manual mode is crazy but once you get to grips with it you don't fly any other way and the beauty of it is if you get in trouble touch if a button and it flies like a Mavic, it's fantastic, looking forward to the video 👍
I might be 2 years late, but after 1.5 years learning to fly, film and edit with the DJI Mini 2 I've purchased a refurbished Air 2S from DJI! I bought your LUTS a while ago and have been using the DayBreak on my Sunrise videos and hoping to see the colors pop even more when I use your D-Log LUTS!
I was out flying with wind over 30MPH yesterday. My Mini 2 could just not cope, but my Air 2S had no problems at all. I just joined FPVUK and part of their membership improves where the Air 2S can be flown. I must try the tracking again. I have not tried tracking since my 2S crashed into trees a couple times in its early days
Love your video. Im about to buy my first drone, what is the best between Air 2s or Mini 3? Please any recommend.
Just done my A2 c of c course with your recommendation UAV hun did it in less than 24th so aced it !
Thank you so much
Awesome mate proud of you
Good review Darren and pleased you have come round to my view. on Air 2S I learned to fly with Mini2 and now also have the Air 2S. brave to admit you were wrong; not easy to do that mate.
Thank you Roy- absolutely if I’m wrong I’ll say it 🤜👍
Like you, I have the prefect combo in the Mini 2 and Air 2S and between the two of them you can cover almost any eventuality. As you say, financially it's a bit of a luxury having both but together they are a dream team.
Are you getting the Hubsan Mini Pro? I saw the first unboxing and test flight video earlier today and it looks very encouraging. Even with some features still be be added through firmware uodates, it's certainly not the shocker that launch event made it seem.
It’s an awesome combo for sure ! Best of both worlds for sure! I’ll be testing it yes but keeping it long term, hmm undecided ! We shall see 😊
My Phantom 3 Pro developed a “gimbal disconnected” error, which no one can solve without repair and no one does repairs on the P3 anymore so that as they say is that. Anyway I saw this video. Looked at a couple of others and the result is my DJI Air2S comes tomorrow. 👍 Update: Man what an upgrade from my Phantom. Everything has been improved! 👏
Have you heard about zino mini pro? It has a 1/1.3 sensor. It has front, back down sensors. It is under 249g. It is almost an air 2.
Camera, ActiveTrack, and the MasterShots. Yes those 3 were already great before the updates but now they’ve definitely improved!!!
I love my Air2S . The 3rd generation will be great I bet they need to make a new Air frame
Good evening Darren. Informative video thanks.
Quick question, the Mavic Air 2 UK/Euro version doesn't have ADS-B, does the UK/Euro version of the Air 2S now have it?
Yea you can turn it on in settings 😊
@@DMProductions Thank you..
Nice to see discounts. Any idea if there will be any sales in the USA?
I look on Amazon.com a lot if I see any more I’ll post them 😊
I saw your original clip... I am so glad I ignored you and bought the Air 2s 😂. Thank you for coming back with your confession. I am enjoying my first ever drone. I bought it over the mini because of Active Track. I am now addicted to droning and can't get enough flying time ;-). I am really considering taking up the A2 course. Thank you. LIked and Subscribed.
Thank you , awesome isn’t it !
This is my first drone. I'm so excited to get started
Knew it! I was asking myself what did I miss that Darren saw? ...yes! Called it queen of the night!
Well, I have a Parrot Anafi, a Mavic 2 Pro and a Mini 2. Recently bought Air 2S for 1130€ in the combo version. I am thinking about it to sell the 2 Pro now... and of course, I am waiting for a Mini 3 :) I hope they will continuously add some more features. Thanks for your honest review
Yes a mini 3 and a Air2S would be way cool !
Here it is. I’m strongly leaning into this drone.
It’s much better now :-)
Hi, do love your videos, very informative. What I just wanting to understand is once the new law comes into place, what does that mean for this drone, even if you have flying licence?
It will become a legacy drone , until the c class drones are released which hopefully the Air3 will
Be. I’ll keep this and sell/ upgrade just before 2023
@@DMProductions Hi Darren, yea I understand that it will become a legacy drone and I know you will sell yours once the new ones arrive. However I would not look to sell it, because I can’t afford to loose money on it and then go buy another one. So what I was wanting to understand is if I kept it what can’t I then use it for, even with the pilot licence.
Picked up a Mavic Air 2 fly more combo off a guy on Ebay, only flew it 3X for $600 + $48 Tax +$21 delivery $671 total. The DJI Air 2S & Mini 3 pro will also drop in price. Why is everyone comaparing the Air 2S with the Mini 3 when in my opinion The 2S is way better Than Mini 3 Pro and is closer in comparison to the Mavic Air 2? Well done thumbs up, Great video.TY for sharing.
I do not get the need for object avoidance. If you want to fly close to stuff get an FPV cinewhoop. Lower latency and do not have to worry about bumping into stuff.
Just purchased a brand new one for £220 looking forward to flying it.
Great vlog as always dont forget article 16 in most ways better for hobby dronies, Just join a flying club like FPV.
It's like 1700 dollars after taxes in Canada for the flymore combo, looks like a good drone though. I just bought the mini 2 for 800 for the flymore combo, so still expensive but I think it will be fine for what I want to do with it.
It’s epic 👍
Hello, I did the upgrade from original mini and I'm very happy..I also found a good promo 1150€ fly more combo and till now is top.
Regards
That’s a good upgrade buddy !
It's now back up at £1169 combo everywhere in UK £940 with one battery.
It’s like your the snake in the garden of Eden- ‘G’wan! Have a bite… you’ll love it’! However still got my Mini2 and learning to fly and film. May just wait a bit longer. How do I share photos/video with you for you to review? Brill review as usual Darren.
Hey thanks Tim 😉 you can email me to my business email it’s linked in description
@@DMProductions cheers Darren
Just love the 2S
It’s very nice
@@DMProductions yes, but I use it with the dji smart controller. Just nicer so nobody can call me during the flight 😀
And in combo with the mini 2, I only have 1 controller.
Yes very good combo you have !
Can you please do a android video editing tutorial? I'm struggling to find the best option 😪
Did you hold on the the air 2s and get the labels from DJI.
Nice Review.. Be careful saying 'Never'.. Drones have come so far just in the past few years and DJI just keeps making the better. I wouldn't put anything past the mini series :)
Nice video. But still waiting for the DIscord. :)
Hey it’s been live for a while now, if you check a latest video and scroll down in the description the link is there
What about the issue with capturing its wings on the video while moving in some ways?
You can change a setting so it doesn’t do that and it’s only happened the odd time in MASTERSHOTS
I want to upgrade my drone. I currently own the mavic mini 1. It’s a toss up between the mini 2 or the air 2 s. Is the air 2 s really worth the extra money? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
What did you get?
Hey Darren, love your videos, has anyone noticed somewhat “digitally noisy” or “grainy” footage even on 4K 30fps 100iso 16CPL filter, 1/60 shutter E.V 0.0?
I haven’t , is that h265 or hlg , dlog?
Oh sorry, it’s for the DJI Mini 2. 🙈
Did u notice the mastershot does a tilt fpv left and right now aswell also don't see props anymore
Yes it’s cool isn’t it
Will active track, track another drone???
Will the controller for the Air2S work with the Mini 2.
Haha if it’s close enough maybe
I tried with my Air 2 to track my Mini and it wouldn't lock onto it :(
Dude when you buy the new drone always wait a least 2 or 3 months for new updates because most of this drone features are software base and can be fix with simple update. always Be patience when new products coming. I have some problems like you said with this drone but I wait for update and with this new updates the drone is great right now. Keep up the good work man. Me and my girlfriend house are (2km) from each other and I sent her the love letter and some flower with my drone air 2s near her windows once in the week and she answer my letter and sent it back with her air 2 and we have a lot of fun with this drones 😁
Haha that’s awesome ! What you just told me would make for a great film! Did you record it ? Awesome idea !
@@DMProductions thanks man. No we are not recording it but you right this is gone be cool. I go and talk to her about that. May be we make a short film in near future 😅
@@brokensword2621 it would be a great memory for you
I fly my mini 2 all over So Cal and it draws soo much attention it's crazy!
The distractions are soo bad so i just fly without the thumb sticks and just let it hover now 😊
Do you get a lot of heat for flying it ?
I used all 3 batteries on my Mini 2 today and no problems. It was over 38°C or 100 °F and the shiny metalic Air force silver wrap skin i put on it reflected the suns rays and kept it cool. Kind of like a sun visor for your car. Yes i am sunburnt lol 😊
I am using a Vivo Nex S Android phone with the DJI 1.4.4. It's my gaming phone but it's the only one that seems to work flawlessly with my Mini 2 😊
Hello. I need your advice 🤩🤩 I have the air2 and the mini2. I make some videos on my RUclips channel. I do love drone. Should I upgrade to the air2s? What do you think about? We nearly know about the pro 3… should I wait for the next air2s? Or the pro 3 later? But the problem is the CE mark…
Thanks for your help 🤩🤩🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would wait till the 3 pro drops. Out of the two I would pick the 3 pro standard combo will be better in many ways and retro fitting should be coming soon
@@DMProductions sorry for my
English. What is retro fitting? 😅
Or should I sell the air2 fly more and buy Frye air2s fly more, waiting for a better price for the pro 3?
Mini 4 Pro happened. All the features. 6:18
did you try Litchi with your Mini 2?
Hi Darren, how do you charge from a battery bank, do you plug straight in to the drone?
I plug the drone battery into my power bank with the ac
@@DMProductions Ah, I see, sorry mate I was thinking of a phone battery bank 🤦🏻♂️
I also do aerial videography with DJI Air 2S some of them in my channel, and I learned a lot from your channel. thank you so much!🤞
Darren! "We are never going to see a full on Active Track on THIS" *Wav's hand over the Mini* -that one didn't age too well 🙄 True that NO ONE expected Mini 3 Pro to have capabilities it did -in fact, it has ALL the flight and autonomous modes of Air 2S, Mastershots, Focus Track... ALL of it! Oh, and most of it can be shot vertical at well. So no, that one didn't age well! 🤔
Darren. My family and I will be holidaying in north Wales and will be paddleboarding on Llyn padarn, Llanberis Snowdonnia. I want to capture those moments with the mini2. Is there any restrictions I need to be aware of if I'm going to fly within the national park and close to dinorwig power station. Thanking you in anticipation, regards Gary R.
Best downloading a drone app like drone assist it will tell you on a map the nfz. Remember you can fly in nfz with permission from atc
@@DMProductions Thanking you. I phoned many places and people and eventually was put in touch and spoke to a councillor for Gwynedd council who are in charge of the area I want to fly my mini2. An e mail back to him giving my flyer and operator number and reason , and permission was granted. Hopefully, this might help other subscribers to your channel if there is dought flying a drone in sensitive areas. Regards, Gary R.
I'm going to wait for the class marked version. CAP2012 says C1 for
This comment has aged well hey! It’s so annoying as they could have made things so simple….
There are two categories to look at, hardware and software, Hardware limitations are difficult to fix but the software, of course, DJI need just need time. Not saying this is good or not just is my experience with DJI.
Air2S looks nice, but I am still holding onto my old Phantom 3 Advanced, because here in Sydney - Australia, there are so many places we are not allowed to fly a drone in recent years, so no point for me to buy new drone :(
Phantom3 was a tank I remember that drone
The actual machine itself is near the top for design. I seriously can not see where or how it can improve, except in things like the battery, motors, props, cameras, cosmetic stuff. But, software can and will improve over time and the A2s will be here a long time.
Fly more combo the best/heaps of settings standard.this is a really good value drone/buy it.T800Aust
I wanted to ask you, hopefully DJI sees this comment, but I've having trouble with range and signal, lost connections on 1.4.8, and when in sports mode the camera keeps tilting down, and I've hardly even eased forward, this is on the MINI 2, has anyone else had trouble like this, because there not answering back to me. Thanks for all you do, Darren 👊👍ps I had no problems before on 1.4.4.
Yep I have. This is the 3rd brand new mini 2 I've had that does it. The gimble also lifts up when facing directly down when coming to a stop
@@MrTottihunter thanks very much for letting me know. Hopefully Dji can fix it. 👊
Back in the driving seat again 😀
Hey Nobby how are you , I’m in Cornwall currently so def in the driving seat in more ways than one ! Haha
@@DMProductions All good thanks. you should get some good footage down there! Been a bit bust filming and editing lol. Have fun
@@nobby-green yes some great locations , need a move here for a month would set me up for half the year haha , take care buddy
Matt Damon doing a drone video.
I’ll take that 😂
For the ones that dont know today there is already a review and unboxing of zino mini pro,and testing , and ubsan delivered wath they promisse for a lower price, i saw it on this chanel alishanmao just found it today
I’m very happy with this one. And I think that the price-quality balance is very good. Unboxing vid on my channel.
Absolutely
i just waana know where the freakin app is!!!! i can only find Mavic apps!!
Hmmm. First actually fly with Hubsan mini pro was suprisingly.... Positive.... I keep watching it ;-)
Ooo any good ?
To my suprise.... Does not look like a failure right from the start... Yes. This guy is not convincing but... And it lack few things like How gimbal works... But.... Might not be that bad ruclips.net/video/Dd8q9l9td7U/видео.html
Mavic 3 is out. Expensive. Got an air2s with 1hr flight time for $410 usd
in the freakin procedure it says pull out the antennas and there are no antennas! so you cant go to next step!!!
Need to stop making excuses for being wrong about the Mavic 3 Pro. It will come out when DJI has suckered most of your money on these lessor drones. If or when the Mavic 3 Pro comes out it will be promoted as a true Prosumer Drone and not for the average Joe. I hope it does cost above 2k and make itself a real working tool for us Professional pilots.
At least you admit you were wrong. I for one was in total disagreement with your previous video when you were bashing it.
Is this drone suitable for real-estate footage?
Sure is perfect
Get your hands on a Mavic 2 pro and you will see the real difference. Much better dynamic range and the colour science is far superior ;-)
Plus that adjustable aperture!
Nah the colour science shit is overrated the 5.4k tho and 4K 60 is simple better then the 2 pro sorry tech gets old and it isn’t as good in some areas anymore obviously it has some bonuses but overall the air2s is better.
The magic 2 pro, although having a Hasselblad camera, can only shoot 4K 30fps and air 2s can shoot 5.4K 30fps and 4K 60fps, the color difference is just hasselblad natural color resolution which can be done with editing on air 2s. Also the Magic 2 pro only has 2 positioning systems while air 2s has 3, both of them feature a 1 inch sensor so air 2s does not have a lower dynamic range, as both also shoot 20mp photos, and air 2s has a much further range than mavic 2 pro, of course the air 2s is better, it’s lighter and younger, similar comparison between iPhone X and 13
Plus the mavic is way more expensive, like 500 more at least
Is it good as a first drone?
Yeah would be awesome
I wish Master Shots was compatible with Air 2 ;-)
Hello Darren 👋
Hey buddy you ok ?
Any free study materials to read for it?
Between them is Air 2,who was forgotten by everybody !!!
That’s very true ! If you can pick one up cheap it’s still decent , but , not many firmware updates as regular, good drone tho !
@@DMProductions My Air 2 Fly More was $829. Brand new. That's only $30 more than the drone with 1 battery and a whopping $470 less than the A2S FM
Now is £1169 on amazon
I hope the CAA make a decision along with DJI regarding CE classing. As of now It is classed as a legacy drone as it has no CE markings and at the end of 2022, all A2 C of C holders will lose the rights to fly down to 50m horizontal separation!
Me too, my plan will be hopefully a new version will have a Ce class next year and I’ll sell this and get a new version of it
If you fly under article 16 there is no problems even after 2022.
I like the A2S a lot! But for the kind of flying and video I do? That beautiful 1" Sensor is desirable as hell, but it's overkill. Add to it that face. Only a mother drone would love old 4 eyes! So I saved $470 and got a "Used" Air 2 from Amazon warehouse. "Used" was actually just open box. Never activated, all components still in sealed bags, batteries never charged. $829 for Air 2 Fly More. Longer flight times. Occusync 2.0 vs 3.0, no "Master Shots" No upward sensors, and that camera 😢 - overall? It's Goldilocks PERFECT for me. I'm a tech fiend, so naturally I feel the poor relation, but logic still says I got the right drone for me at right $$$. If I start making money flying,,l my next drone may be an Autel Evo 2 Pro + Autel Smart Controller, just waiting to see what DJI brings in the Prosumer Class first. We shall see! Thanks for your take on the A2S Darren
Hey thank you that made me laugh , but you did get a good deal, a great deal so go out and enjoy it and maybe see what the Mavic 3 pro brings , I’ll try not rub it in too much lol, much jokes aside the Air2 is a great drone
It's so funny how much his opinion has changed 🤣
Mavic Air 2S + Mini 2 = Hubsan Zino Mini Pro.
We have all the qualities of a DJI Air 2s in a 249g body where we don't have to worry about the law and very easy to transport.
Or DJI launches a mini 3 identical to the Hubsan Zino Mini Pro or bye bye DJI.
Most people who buy drones at the moment are amateurs who want portability, video/photo quality in a 249g body so as not to worry about the country's legislation.
Right now we have it all on the Hubsan Zino Mini Pro.
I would be very surprised if the Zino can outperform the mini 2 and Air2S
@@DMProductions I'm with you. Specs are not an indication of performance. I'm doubtful the Hubsan can hover stable enough to take a good panoramic set of photos 😆
please help! theres no other way to get an answer!
Have they added the goggles yet?
Ah really!
Make up your mind!
Great second review recanting the original don't buy.
Thank you 😊
hey i tell ya.. in 3 month you will be spending a grand more than the air2s cost and have a Mavic 3 in your hand.. oh stop press... you did :)
Ooooops haha
Just to let you know, DJI confirmed to me after a long email session that the software on the Air 2s causes noise when the footage is even a little overexposed, and causes noise when using an ND filter. The only time you can get near-perfect footage at a constant rate is morning and evening on a place with little shadow casting (basically a grassy area), or a huge area with...idk...concrete 😂. I was fuming! It could be so much better. They also told me it's a "Hobby" drone hence why the software isn't as good!
Sir please give me one drone🙏
9:38 there is never 2 drones that has all. air3 will have, but you also need buy mavic4 if you just buy drone by features not bcoz u need drone "you have many drones" you are bad buyer LOL
Really?
