The Air 2S really does look most like a shrunken down Mavic 2 Pro. DJI has been trying to fill every gap in it's line up with something different at an incremental price and this one squeezes right in there between the Mavic Mini and Mavic 2 offerings.

DJI has thus far been able to hold off the competition for the most part in just about every corner of the drone market. With the Air 2S offering, it seems they continually want to bridge the gap between small size and rich features while achieving maximum flight time, range & camera quality.

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy the test! By the way total flight time on this flight was 19 Minutes even 🍻
That's not much I got mine recently I was hoping for a little more.
hi dustin,,maybe you can help me,im flying a mavic air2 and using an iphone 7plus S,,last week before my drone take off something pop up it says “mobile device cpu fully loaded,related performance will affected”...i notice that when after recording,,i watch the video some of it doesent record or skip,,hopefully you can heip about it,,thanks in advance.....
@@danielquindara7123 so your phone is the issue check the video on the sd card if it's good then try closing apps on your phone and or reseting it to get it to work aswell.
@@joewhite8079 ,,thanks for the replying,,i will try after work....
@@danielquindara7123 let me know how it goes.
Now the battery technology needs to catch up.
It's fairly good for what he's doing
I can confirm that turning the Obstacle Avoidance and AirSense off does not save you any power, letting you fly further. I did a similar test to you with four batteries over four identical flights, with those features on and off and it surprisingly made no difference whatsoever. The conclusion being that those features may as well be left on all the time as there is no benefit in turning them off. The light function is not really a factor since you wouldn’t normally have the light turned on, and in Auto mode it only comes on when landing in dim light.
What I did find was that the Air 2S has about 5 mins less flight time than the Mavic Air 2. Since the obstacle avoidance makes no difference to battery duration whether on or off, I can only put the reduced flight time down to two possible reasons: either because of the 25% faster flying speed in normal mode (15mph v 12mph) as faster flying drains the battery quicker; or the other possible reason is the larger 1” sensor camera of the Air 2S uses more power than the smaller camera on the Mavic Air 2. The only way I can work out which one gives the Air 2S less flight time is to run more tests, flying the Air 2S at 12mph to match the Mavic Air 2 and then see if the flight times are more similar.
This was NOT a range test, this was a battery test.
To do a real range test with the Air 2s, do the following.
1. Pick a predetermined spot to land 4 or 5 miles away where you have a friend waiting with a fresh battery to replace it.
2. Take off (this automatically becomes your new return-to-home landing point) and keep going for the range test to see how far your controller can reach.
3. When you turn around, you only need to reach the 4-mile landing spot where your friend is.
Wow, the DJI Air 2S did very well! Dustin you went up to 4.2 miles and the reception was still solid, amazing! The only thing that really limit this drone is the battery at that point. Awesome review Dustin as always! 🤙🏼
Thank you Dustin.
I appreciate your videos - Your videos for the DJI Mini 2 was the reason I decided to buy me the Mini 2. And now I'm thinking about to buy this fantastic drone.
It's always fun to listen to your comments and it's great that you're calculating the kilometers into the video.

Another great range test. The Air 2S performed as well as almost any drone you tested so far. I always enjoy the sunsets during these tests.
Thanks for letting us enjoy the sunset with ya at the end. It was beautiful!
I enjoyed watching this. It is amazing what this little guy can do! Thanks for putting this together so well.
I am so glad I purchased this drone. Every video I've seen, the reviews have been outstanding on every aspect, of all features. Thank you for your time, and showing a lot of the features.
where you bought it from
You always have me on the edge of my seat when you do these amazing flights. Love to all from Ireland. Eamon. 👍👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️❤️
Solid range and flight time! And with that kind of image quality, Air 2S can’t go wrong in my opinion. This drone is badass!
Wow, your tests are always so green! Great video as usual! They really do need the option to turn off the RTH beeping!
These tests have really been helpful for me.
Another great test from Dustin. These drones just get better and better. Range, camera, signal all better than before. Just incredible technology. Thanks for including the fabulous sunset. I guess you know how lucky you are living where you do.
Nice test!!! Considering moving form a Mavic air2 to the Air 2S. Picture quality on this one is amazing!! Thanks Dustin!
Really appreciate the strong signal on the Air 2S. It’s damn superb!👌💯
Loved the outro, very nice.
That’s amazing man. I just got this drone. Loved your review. Excellent.
Glad I found this channel. I really enjoy your videos.
That image quality though, camera performance on point!
Definitely my next drone. I've been researching this one for a while and I see nothing negative about it. I'm currently using the Mini 1 and I love it.
DJI products are hard to beat! Good job man, love the videos
Great demonstration Dustin. That 2S has great range! Didn't expect it to have that much battery upon arrival. Nice!
What a remarkable piece of technology.
I will follow, great video and specially you seemed like a great Guy!! Thanks
Many thanks for your great work , I am from Jamaica and I am always watching your range test videos , excellent JOB , please continue. Love how you don’t make your videos boring 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, truly impressive! That was an amazing flight and range test! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Nice range test! I took my Air 2S out a few days ago and just few beyond 1 mile on sport mode. I will try a range test without obstacle avoidance and on normal mode. Thanks for sharing 👍
Whoa, was biting my nails for a while there. Gives me more confidence on longer flights
Another awesome range test! Well done!
As usual awesome and world class content Dustin! Cheers! 🍻
Wow, nearly a 9 mile range! Your Mini 2 test showed about 4.5 miles, so nearly double! This is interesting considering they quote the cameras with similar flight times. I'm just getting into drones so I just got a Mini 2, but this sure seems like a sweet drone.
Fantastic man 😁👍
Brilliant Dustin and amazing sunset. Great flight 👍
OMG I wanted so bad for you to get pictures of that sunset!! Incredible.
They really need to add a feature to silence the beeping on return to home...so annoying that it beeps the entire time!
just press one time off button on the remote conrtol and it stops!!!!
@@jdp7735 Really?! I'll have to try that next time I'm out with mine.
I feel like it's measuring my anxiety instead of it's distance lol great video. Thank for making this.
Thanks Dustin for an excellent video.
I've got to get myself one of these.
It's so much fun !!!
The clarity of that camera is amazing 👏
That's a great range test. God bless
Love this kind of range test!
Like 👍 👍 👍
🙏 🙋♂️ 👋
One of the best review man
Great!!
Awesome Flight!
Happy Flying
Really good range test under safe conditions. Thanks for sharing.
That was cool. I just got my 2s and love it. I have the Mavic Air and the difference is out of this world. I am stuck with high winds today and tomorrow, so no flying. :(. I was worried your drone wasn’t going to make it back.
Phenomenal video as usual Dustin! Thanks, Glenn
Always enjoy your range test👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations. You have convinced me to invest in the Air 2s 😀
Yes me too, i just bought it today. :)
I think because of their new big camera makes the battery less
It won’t disappoint you
@@williamday8502 I got it now 😀
I bought the Air 2S and the Mini 2. You can’t go wrong with either. The Air 2S just feels more solid and stable in flight. The mini is great and really fun to fly.
Cool test!. I'm curious of the range if you didn't need to worry about returning home due to batteries.
It would be good if someone was there to pick up the drone so you could also test the transmitter range.
Awesome, what a beautiful place you live, Good Job Dustin. 🤘👊
Wow the tension, I was biting my nails, great video.
Thanks great vid that's helped me make my next choice recently bought the the Mini 3 pro I returned it because it flew to 650-700 max then returned to home no firmware fixed the problem was very disappointed with it considering it was a new model.👍
Your like the Bob Ross of drones, thank you
Happy little drones
Best line: "I gotta keep touching the drone!"
Great video and awesome range test as usual!!
Thanks for the test! Just bought an Air2s and getting used to the drone and its capabilities. I dunno if I could be so calm as you did. Nice test!
I’ve had my air 2 out to 7.2 miles round trip. It’s a good drone. Probably sometimes this wk I will order the air 2s combo. The battery life sucks. But during the 25 mins or so I love it.
So the drone really flew 8 miles total. That amazing man.
I just got this little guy yesterday with the FlyMore pack. Still getting used to it, but so far it's amazing. In love with the Air 2S. Great range, amazing video and photo. Best all around drone on the market today if you ask me.
Congratulations, beautiful footage of a wonderful place.
Can wait until you do the the mavic 3!
Air 2S - the best !! This dude is way better than mini 3
Thank you im loving these videos I can't wait to set my sons up for Christmas hes going to love his mini 2
Nice vid great 2 know in perfect conditions my air2s can reach that distance. Like ur vids there informative, keep them coming bud!
4 miles out and back with 12% left is amazing!!
Watch his range test on the Air 2. In that one he went almost 5 miles at about 65 ft in altitude and came back with about 15% battery. It makes me feel better about not coughing up the $1000 for this one.
@@folderol8487 Me too haha I have the original Air 2, I will upgrade to Mavic 3 in a future
My flying wing does 40 miles and back without breaking sweat haha oh and it costs less than half of what this does
@@matejbludsky8410 I really want one of those, but I'm not tech savvy enough to build one!
@@matejbludsky8410 What wing do you have?
Good video. Unfortunately I just start panicking when things start bleeping! I wish I could be as confident with my Air2.
Just came from your FPV video, great demo! I’m hoping to get Air 2S soon
Hey that was nail biting and awesome at the same time! Just the ability alone for a drone to go that far out is mind boggling.
Very nice.
Really enjoy your video. Made me buy a mavica 2s. What do you know about ND filters? Can the lowers have any interference as I’d like to use that mainly as a camera lens protection. THANK you sir.
Use ND filters is varying sun levels or for other effects 🍻
Very impressed with the range on it. Excellent range test Dustin!! 😊
Uzun zamandır beklediğim bir video teşekkürler
Great job! Your test proved that the battery can last for at least 7 miles and of course at some halfway point you had to return. But I wonder if you could keep going how far would the signal go? Thanks and aloha
Thanks for that I am going to purchase this drone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I just received my Air 2S today and took 'er out on the maiden flight. Fantastic device.
Thank you very much for doing this test.
great video! just an fyi that the higher frame sequence you shoot at the less zoom capability you get.. so at 1080 p its 8x zoom i believe where as 5.4k there is no zoom.
Aloha, Dustin! I am SO GLAD you did this range test! Thank you! I was genuinely curious as to how far away I could fly my new Air 2S. This is my second drone and it's so much better than the Ruko F11 GIM2 that I first bought which would get glitchy and start to lose the signal after about 1,200 feet or so. I'm from the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware and sometimes fly near the city so I think I can get away with a couple/few thousand feet with my Air 2S and not have to worry. It will return automatically if it loses the connection with my phone or controller, won't it?
Yes
Really brave flight test. Great job.
Hi I’m new to your channel and really enjoying and appreciate your content/videos . Anyway I’m in the market for an Air 2S because of your channel! I’m also in Hawaii so I really appreciate your help!! 🤙
Also you went out 4.2 miles out then 4.2 miles back for damn near 8.4 miles total flight distance at 33 miles an hr. Pretty impressive for a relatively small batteries.
Thanks so much, love your channel and its content🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽
nice job keep up the great work
Next time you grab it, flip it upside down real quick and it will shut off. All DJI drones do that. Great video by the way. That distance was pretty impressive. --chris
..I heard that before.
When I am hand landing my dji air 2s I never turn it upside down because it is very dangerous to use this method for stop the motors.
Of course the Mavic air 2 is a very dependable drone, it eliminates the butterfly’s in my stomach when it preformed it’s duty in long distance flight and returns home successfully every time. The on board computer is great and informative.I flew 8 mi. Round trip. I’m ready to send for a Mavic air 2 s., because , I know it will be the best of the best, because of the impression my MA2 gave me. Crow
Fun video as are all your vids - thanks for all you do.
Great vid & quite helpful-not enough juice to make it to Lanai, but still. Impressive! Thanks for all you effort!
Hope see one way test soon
I had anxiety throughout the video until it landed 🤣
Absolutely loved this video Dustin, and thank you too. Up to last month I had a phantom 4 pro, (which was ridiculously noisy, not to mention rather dangerous due to its size), then of course found this wonderful DJI AIR 2 S, which is just amazing in every way. I love the way your Air 2s stays solid at 300 feet height in every way, and I have to say I was impressed how you let the drone take off in your hand, something I have yet to be able to do. The image quality at 4k 30fps was superb too, and I am envious that you have all this wonderful terrain to be able to explore. We have nothing like this in the United kIngdom. Well done for achieveing 4 miles, 21120 feet, before turning back at 50% battery. This makes me even more assured what an amazing drone this is, and you are very brave sending your "baby" out this far. In the united kingdom here, I panic when "my baby" flys out more than 300 feet ha ha. Keep em coming wont you. Andrew UK (PS: 33 mph you reached in N Mode, that's insane lol)
As always...great range test!
I have a dji air S2 drone but I haven't even attempted to fly that far too scared, too much money to loose my drone
Lmao i got mine 2 days ago and im the same way...taking too much care of my drone so far ..like u said it cost us money lol
Furthest i flew was 1.25 miles off Oʻahu at Lanikai Beach to Mokulua island and was shitting bricks the whole time. Watched this video prior for reassurance 😅
Man I'm not the only one that was sweating bullet at a mile! Was thinking my shit was gonna fall out the sky at any moment or it was gonna lose signal at any moment and I was never gonna see it again
Hi Dustin hope you been well and the family as well. Great flight with the mini 2s i have the mini 2 and just love it. Very cool left a like my friend be safe
This is not a mini.
Nice Range test Dustin 🤟🏻🤙🏻
So in essence it traveled about 8+ miles in total travel time not bad 👍🏾
I wish they'd allow external antennas and not limit their power output to so little.
Brave move sending the drone out that far. Pretty incredible the capability. Experienced some less than ideal conditions with terrain/foliage that have slowed the video feed but OS3 is a significant improvement over OS2. I'm not so brave but cool to know the drone will get out that far. Thank you.
Glad I watched this. I just bout one and haven't received this yet. I have a mini 2 right now. Really enjoyed it. Beautiful Hawaii!
