Great Vid!
I'm looking at the air 2s. Do you have any idea what the current firmware on the drone is out of the box before upgrading?
Thanks
Just upgraded from an Air2 to Air2S to get into remote id compliance. Got a factory refurbished fly more combo directly from DJI. It came in just over $1000 with taxes and two years of the Care Refresh.
I was looking for this video! I'm thinking over and over the Mavic 3 classic and the Air 2S and i think i'll go with the Air 2S, i believe it's totally worth buying one in 2023, specs of the drone are very good. Thank you!
It’s a good choice!
my first drone was the dji mavic 2 pro and sadly had to sell it for financial reasons, when I was ready to buy another one, I went with the air 2s, I do miss the camera in the mavic 2 pro but the air 2s is compatible other than the adjustable aperture.
I agree, the air2s is my just-purchased second/first camera to the m3p, I don't have a serious gas problem...
I can only agree with you. I ve bought mine Air 2S at the beginning of the year after long time flying my Mavic Mini. It was great deal it will be long journey to get used to it but it has so much potential for my future trips and maybe one day first projects.
Hope you get to shoot some great content with it!!
@@ClayPerry I will try my best. Next week I will probably order all day pack NDs from freewell, but I am still wondering if its worth the cost.
I do travel and real estate videos, I’ve built/bought a few drones over the years. I was waiting for the Air 3 to be released but decided the air 2S will do everything I need. That and as I write this, the tipping point was, I picked it up at a 20% off sale, I’m pretty happy with my decision to not wait for a much more expensive future Air3. Now that I went for the Air 2S, they will be announcing the Air3 with amazing features (at $2000) you can thank me now.
at $900 including the refresh care and smart controller and fly more, I wouldn't wait for the Air3 which is starting at $2000 :)
i think iLL start with mini3 (non-pro), after few years might upgrade , for probably Mavic 5. For recreational use.
I agree with you. The Air 2 S is the best value for your money. I got a sweet deal on mine and love it!
Clay, what do you think of the Air 2s vs. the Air 3?
Have to ask, what was location where filming of the RZR side x sides take place. Beautiful, would love to take a trip if close.
In Silverton, CO!
Great video! This is my drone No.1 🫡
Just purchased, looking forward to flying. I have the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 2. Looking for a little better wind resistance
Awesome George! I hope you can see the difference!
Which is best? Mini 3 Pro or the Air 2S
@@inlope4117 Get the Mini if you don't want to deal with licensing and weight, and you mostly do stuff for fun and post on social media. Get the 2S if you're more serious in making cinematic footages or any kind of commercial.
Is the battery flight time long? Above 25 minutes, beacuse i want to fly and capture amazing shots that are not near.
Totally worth buying in 2024 since it has 20MP, 1-inch sensor, 5k video recording etc
At 4:47 you say that the Mini 3 has sensors to the front and down but of course the Mini 3 Pro also has sensors to the back. The Mini 3 however only has sensors downward.
Whoops, thanks for pointing that out Ronald. Fixing it now!
I bought a used Air2s from someone that flew it twice. Combo package and refresh and looked brand new. Honestly used drones are easy to get because many people buy them and simply dont have the time to fly them.
Good point! I see a lot of used drones online.
Great video! I’m definitely gonna go with the Air 2S, the image that come out of it looks amazing. Like you said as well, I also don’t think that the mavic 3 is worth it for the price.
Thanks Rick! I think the Air2S is a wise choice. You won't be disappointed! Hopefully, DJI's next line will be a major upgrade for the price.
It's on sale now for 15% off. But usually when DJI does this they are getting ready to release another model, maybe the Air 3. I have the Air 2s and I upgraded from the Air 2 in 2021.
dji air2s more then enough in 2023 and also for next 3 - 4 year. because of it's image quality. 5.4k in 10-bit d-log & hlg it's really awesome. If you work on high budget short film or advt. then mavic 3 classic is best option. other wise air2s beat mavic 3 in more of situation except battery backup & side obstacle avoidance . EXCELLENT GOOD REVIEW. ALWAYS SMILING LOVE FROM INDIA. JAY SRI RAM🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All good points! Thank you🤙
@@ClayPerry 😄😄😄🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Totally agree with you. I went with 2S about 6 weeks ago, the Mavic 3 or 3 classic just didn't seem worth laying out an additional thousand for what you were getting. I was using mini 2 before and the 2S image is definitely an upgrade. Couple things kind of suck tho. 1) You can't shoot 60 fps in any resolution without it cropping in (not that you need it cause generally footage is sped up, but would be nice to have as an option), 2) There's no option to buy it with the advanced controller so when you do upgrade to better drones you have to buy completely new controller. I thought would be better to buy this now, and wait a year or two til next generation of drones get introduced with better features.
Just a note the air2s does support DC controller
@@johnvisuals_ yeah just at b&h it doesn’t come as a package option u have to buy everything separate which makes everything more expensive
Drone nerds sells a bundle with the rc pro remote. I bought the air 2S fly more bundle with the rc newest pro remote. It was a steal.
@@jareddc not seeing it on their website can you post link?
Yes, it’s dumb that we can’t buy it with the DJI RC. I had to buy that controller separately and the one that came with the 2S just sits on a shelf. Still, to me it was worth it. My iPhone screen dims in the heat and I need to be able to see it clearly. Plus, it is simple to use and seems to stay connected to the aircraft better than the N1.
Nice video but you forgot to mention the Mavic 3 Classic which changes the situation on the price somewhat. Also all the features such as cruise control are not to be found on the Air 2s as far as I know.
I'm having air 2s now. One disappointed thing I feel bad about my drone is the charger. I wish I can use USB type to charge my battery.
Purchased a second user Air 2S for £350 ($450) as an upgrade from my trainer drone, my Mini 2 SE. OMG! Best £350 I have ever spent. The difference between the two is almost impossible to describe, especially with the image quality. Suffice it to say it's a game changer. Was more than happy to have to register and maybe even take it to the next level and do some commercial stuff now that I am more confident and competent. (Oh and the bonus? sold my Mini2 SE for £275 ($350)) Even the wife couldn't really complain!
I really enjoyed this video. Great comparisons. I have the Air 2s and Mini 3 Pro. Love both of them. I’m good for now. I hope😂
This summer i want to go in a trip with my motorcycle, i will travel alone, what do you recommend between those two? I want to have some follow me shots.
@@RobertwincoI think that the Air 2S is better for follow me feuture
@@inlope4117 it does better at tracking objects.
Is it hard to register with foreign governments?
Patiently waiting for the air3 👀
You and me both!
Just used my air2s for a film called 4 points.. Still awesome quality..
I have all 3. It's not image quality, not entirely. Mavic 3 is a Flagship, high powered, feature rich drone, with Night Mode, Cruise Control and Waypoints. Mini 3 is the Stealth option, small, quiet, good for avoiding attention. So why did I ADD Air 2S? a) SDK available so wide support from 3rd Party apps, Litchi, Maven and... b) I have an Insta360 Sphere that I love - they chose Mavic Air 2/Air 2S; a popular model that has the lifting power to handle nearly 200 gram extra payload, knowing Mavic 3 was expensive and sold in smaller # of units. Considered re-aquiring MA2, but why retread past ground? In hindsight, the few extra minutes flight time would be nice, but I was curious having skipped A2S when it was released.
If you talk about that, this drone is equipped with a 22 mm equipment, focal length, compared to the Mavic and mini drones that are equipped with a 24 mm equivalent. Personally, I like the look of the wider 22 mm.
In my opinion the mini 3 pro is more of a competitor than the mini 3 but great video either way
Thanks KTK! I agree with you. The mini 3 pro packs in a lot of features. Mentioned that toward the end.
Does anyone know why my videos have a purple tint one second, then goes back to normal and then purple for 3-4 seconds at a time? It's never done this before, and have it up to date?
I love my Air2S
same!
compare the signal air2s and air 2 is air 2 the signal more stabil and strong.4 antena at air2s it does'nt mean get a strong signal
I agreed air 2 has better signal than 2s
I have the Mavic 3 and the Air 2s. I fly my Air2s way more. Im holding off and waiting for the Air 3. We know it's coming... lol
So true Stefan!
seems like 3S is def coming. B&H permanently cut price on Air 2S couple weeks ago, they usually do that when they are trying to clear out old stock before new model comes in.
I'm surprised you didn't compare more of the Air 2S with the Mini 3 Pro. I think its a better drone.
I’ll be sure to do it next time Paul!
Why us mavic so expensive
Good video. But the comment on part 107 regarding flying legally, you don’t need the 107 to fly legally. It’s only good if your making money.
Good point Pete. Sorry for not clarifying that!
@@ClayPerry it’s all good. Keep up the awesome videos.
Which memory card do you use with your Air 2S?
I use Sandisk Extreme micro SD!
@@ClayPerry Thanks Clay. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now and am thrilled with it. Best value for the money. Recording video at 5.4 K allows me to pan and zoom to my hearts content and still render super sharp 2K or 4K videos with lots of smooth motion. Awesome!
You didn’t mention wind resistance. The Air 2s has better wind resistance than the 3 and I suspect the Mavic 3 is better than the air2s. I own the mini 2 the air2s and the mini 3 pro.
Good point, Vladimir. Wind resistance does matter. I'm guessing you are right!
Mini 3 Pro has D-Cinelike and does 4K 60 FPS…
For everyone in Europe the Air2S just isnt an option. You HAVE to go with either the Mini 3 Pro or the Mavic 3, given the new regulations.
Air2S will be relegated to A3 category as of next year which will really limit locations that you can fly in dramatically!
You lost me when you said there wasn't much difference between a Mini III and a Mavic III sensor. I switched off at that point and am going to watch a Mavic III drop grenades on humans.
Mini 3 doesn't have forward sensors
Whoops, thanks for pointing that out Qi Yang. Fixing it now!
good evening! buddy!Love it!that's excellent sharing. do you wanna promotion?!take it easy. 😈
Most people buy the larger drone and wind up never using them. I like to find a balance.
Before you buy any drone you need to consider these things:
Weight:
Price:
Image quality:
Return on Investment or ROI:
The drone you pick will reflect what you do with it and you'll be able to pick your poison.
