Thanks for the info. If I can clarify one thing: you mentioned repeatedly that you don't have to register the Mini/Mini2 but that only applies to recreational pilots. You and many (most?) of us flying Part 107 do in fact need to register the little guys.
Thanks for sharing brother Aldryn. As always I enjoy your videos and content Sir. God bless and stay safe. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Great rundown on what looks to be a great drone! Very tempted to pick this one up, but I feel like I only just grabbed my Air 2.... hopefully Pro 3 is around the corner
I'm using Air 2 as well, I don't think its a worthy upgrade since the aperture is fixed f2.8 same as Air 2. But if someone who is newly going to buy, can straightaway buy the Air2s
@@sathinallisamy update: I caved and bought the Air 2S and I just love the camera on it, it’s a big difference! Takes off like a rocket and drops like a rock. If those things don’t matter to you, hang on to your Mavic Air 2 👍
The Air 2s is a nice upgrade to the original mavic pro. You also can’t go wrong with the mini 3 pro with its tiny size. If it’s just for TH-cam stuff and quick deployment, mini 3 pro might be easier as you backpack everything like me.
Great job Aldryn. The one spec that disappoints here is the lack of a variable aperture. Hard to understand why DJI did not include it except for the need to protect the Mavic line of products.
Great video Aldryn, love your content here and your photography work is inspiring. I bought a second Mini a few months back and instantly regretted it because it struggles in the wind (I live in the UK and it's constantly windy here!). I've considered buying an Air 2 recently, but the Air 2s looks like a big upgrade and worth the wait to save up the extra cost. Thank you!
Same up in Mansfield I've got the mini2 and I know I should have bought the air2s combo, Watching stores on daily basis if it drops to around £1000 that's enough to make me buy it stay safe.
I wasn't going to do anything until I saw your review, Aldryn. Crap. And I just bought my wife an Air 2 for Christmas. I hate to lose the variable aperture on the Pro, but.... This is now officially a head-scratcher. Nice video and overview. Thanks so much.
I’m buying my Air 2S from Best Buy. Which accident coverage would you recommend. Geek Squad drone protection at $399 for 2 years with no out of pocket money, or DJI care refresh at $169 for 2 years with out of pocket money with replacement. Do I need it at all? Maybe you can do a video on the differences and what you would recommend. Thank Bro.
This drone from DJI MAVIC Air 2S..is my pavorate drone ever...to have this amaizing drone it's in my dream only,I can't afford to buy..but thank you Flytpath...if I watch your review I feel happy...here in Philippine...
Shoot and I just bought the Mavic Air 2 a couple weeks ago!!! LOL. I'm a still keep it but its good to know that the battery and the Smart Controller works with the Air 2S. Might probably get this and use my Air 2 as a backup!!! GREAT REVIEW!!! New Subscriber!!!
Nice run-down! I was really hoping for sport mode using those sensors. Hopefully in a year or two when those small processors have more computing power.
Thanks for this video! Definitely went over some of the questions I was having regarding this drone.. now all I have to wait is till after the holidays. Definitely packs a punch for the price range. Was contemplating getting the three but comparing price and everything this unit has to offer I think I'm better off sticking with the air2s.
Why in the living daylight was it every other drone under the sun your compared the footage against but not the Air2.. hence your comparison footage 8:25 have you destroyed your Mavic Air2 since it was the only unit you did not show any footage of compare shots from, even though it is the most relevant as predessesor
Just got my first drone, and came across your channel trying to learn how to use it. Was surprised when I saw the locations you shoot, because we must live near by. In Carmel Mt. Been a videographer for a while. Let me know if you would like any kind of collab. Have a good one man. Great content!
And another excellent video, providing very good impression! I own a MA2, as my first "real" drone, for four months now and I can't say that I'm getting greedy to own the S2, nor that I'm disappointed I bought the MA2 at the time. I was afraid that the difference between the MA2 and the S2 would be bigger, with additional side- and/or top-sensors for instance, but to MHO the MA2 is still the best offer, to satisfy the novice drone pilot.
Thanks for the video Aldryn. Nice to see the Air2 progress. But for the significant price bump.... the Air2s doesn't seem worth the upgrade, in my opinion anyway. Thanks for helping me make that determination. Looking forward to more content. Cheers!
It goes without saying that it pretty much comes down to the camera. If you already own an Air 2, it's not worth the upgrade, IMO. If you do not yet own the Air 2 and are buying something new in that range, definitely go for the Air 2S. For the first time buyer, I'm not even sure the better camera is worth the extra $300.
Well done Aldryn....You went in depth on this one... I am definitely Going to but this one..I want to have the whole Air series.. #KeepFlyin & #StayUp Thank You
Thank you so much! This is a super review full of useful details. Getting it on Monday for my trip to 3 west African, tropical coastal countries with beautiful beaches in 2 weeks and when we get a place in Mexico on the Caribbean in Nov. The footage is going to be cray to the zeeeeee! Thanks again for this awesome video.
Wow, Aldryn, I was wondering if the photos you posted from Catalina were from the new Air 2S, we now know, LOL. They sure packaged a lot more features into the 2S and the biggest being the 1” camera sensor and additional upward sensors. I hope they update the Air 2 with the camera zoom function like they did on the Mini 2. As always, you have produce a balanced and informative product review of the new DJI Air 2S. Thank You!
If you are running O3, how would you use an Air 2 controller, or do they just look the same? Could you use an Air 2S controller with an Air 2 for instance?
So the top sensors work only if the drone is flying at a certain angle mainly with speed, but the sensors don't work in sport mode ... SO THE QUESTION IS, how often will those front facing sensor come into play in normal mode? I can't see the drone flying fast enough in NORMAL mode for it to be positioned where the drone is using the top-front facing sensors as you described in your video. I just see the top-facing sensors coming into play in active track where the obstacles (i.e. branches) come into play.
I wonder if you can help, I was out walking few weeks back and found a mavic air 2, I stayed at the location with it for about an hour waiting for whoever owns it to find it but no-one came so I brought it home and reported the location to the police. Is there anyway of locating the owner or failing that resetting the drone. Thanks
Really nice, thorough review. Great quality and solid presentation. Only thing I would have liked to see more of is a bit more video comparison between this drone and the others to choose from, especially since the biggest selling point of the Air 2S is its new sensor. Otherwise, great content.
Great review. Love it. Was debating to grab this. It has nothing my E2P can't do. So I just stick with that till another one comes out that hopefully has an adjustable aperture. Keep up the great work. Aloha
WoW what a great video you made - almost ( but just almost ) get me to order one , but as I already have the M2P and the Autel Evo 2 I will wait for the 3
I asked DJI about the batteries of the MA2 being compatible with the A2s and they said no. But you demonstrated that they are interchangeable. Any idea why they would say no other than to try and get people to buy the Fly More Combo. I have the Air 2 fly more so already have 3 batteries. Thoughts. ?
I currently have the Mavic 2 Pro but had a bad crash and the drone will be in the shop while I'll need one for another job coming up. Scooped this one and I'm completely surprised how much of a bump up in almost every category it is. Of course the Mavic 3 will be a beast but of course it will
Just ordered mine. Picking it up after work. Can’t wait to have my first drone!
where was it in stock..?
getting mine tomorrow! packed up my air2 and returning it. one day more and that was expiring! lol
Congrats on your first drone. I'm sure you will love the air 2s. I'm still digging my original mavic mini and mavic air 2!!
Thanks for the info. If I can clarify one thing: you mentioned repeatedly that you don't have to register the Mini/Mini2 but that only applies to recreational pilots. You and many (most?) of us flying Part 107 do in fact need to register the little guys.
Bro, you’re doing a phenomenal job, I am happy you’re on TH-cam! Blessings
Beautiful montage! I think this is now DJI's best cinematic drone!
Always a pleasure to watch your reviews...Very detailed. Look forward to the other videos on the Air 2s
Hi chad. You stopped doing your own reviews? Miss them!
@@shb7772000if Hey Steve...thanks. The last one was for the Mini 2.
@@ChadB Yea I see you have many recent. I wonder why they don't show up when I browse TH-cam? I guess I'll have to subscribe!
@@shb7772000if 🤣🤣🤣
wow that 1 inch sensor does help a lot in low light!
Not even allowed to fly in dark 😂
Um mavic 2 pro has a 1 inch sensor
I always find your review the most comprehensive and you always give good demos for straight comparison between different models. Good work man!
OH MAN!!!! It definitely looks amazing. Just bought one so I'm gonna have to get your case for the Air 2S now!
Awesome!!
Your video's are AWESOME. And ypu too 🙂
is that 8x zoom lossless or what ?!?....
Hey brother can ask if your family name is from philippines
Do you already have a mavic 2 pro
With all these upgrades in the Air 2S, just how extreme the features will be on the Mavic 3?
Thanks for sharing brother Aldryn. As always I enjoy your videos and content Sir. God bless and stay safe. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
I appreciate that

Oh wow! Can't keep up with all these new drones. DJI is on a roll!!!
ND and polariser filters are critical for good footage especially around water and snow
Can’t wait for the mini 2s. I hope dji add those sensors on the mini.
I was waiting for your video for this drone, thank you so much! that was awosome as usual.
dope. I've got a Mavic Pro (original) now. Would you go Air 2S or Mini or?
The Air 2s is a nice upgrade to the original mavic pro. You also can’t go wrong with the mini 3 pro with its tiny size. If it’s just for TH-cam stuff and quick deployment, mini 3 pro might be easier as you backpack everything like me.
@@FlytPath awesome thanks. What about Skydio? They ever come out finally?
@@BenSullinsOfficial skydio seems to be best for follow me shots.
Great video Aldryn - did you see props the shots at some point, I was kind a surpised to see that
Best review I've seen so far 👍 I'm waiting for the Mavic 3
Great video, love your content and editing is top notch!!👌🏻Best regards from your fan in Finland☀️
These are definitely the best drone reviews. Great job and thanks for all your hard work!
Much appreciated!
I absolutely love your hands on review, thank you so much for this!
Im glad i found this channel before buying my first drone
Great job Aldryn. The one spec that disappoints here is the lack of a variable aperture. Hard to understand why DJI did not include it except for the need to protect the Mavic line of products.
I love it when I have to watch only one new product review. 👊👍
Glad you like them!
Ordered one. The excitement ensues.
Awesome, I'm definitely upgrading form my Mini 2, making hiking videos is going to get better!
Great review!! Coming from the DJI Phantom 2 days, I cannot believe how advanced these drones have gotten. Thank you for the comprehensive comparison.
Awesome vid. I think DJI are dropping Mavic and turning it into Air. May God bless you all, much Love.
Great video Aldryn, love your content here and your photography work is inspiring. I bought a second Mini a few months back and instantly regretted it because it struggles in the wind (I live in the UK and it's constantly windy here!).

The Air 2S looks great, especially with that 20mp photo capability and one-inch sensor. Awesome video and great montage :)
what happened at 12:04? Would have been nice to see how the drone did there in that tight spot? Thanks!
I wasn't going to do anything until I saw your review, Aldryn. Crap. And I just bought my wife an Air 2 for Christmas. I hate to lose the variable aperture on the Pro, but.... This is now officially a head-scratcher. Nice video and overview. Thanks so much.
Thanks I always go to your video reviews first. Nice to hear about the Batt being compatible!
Thanks for the informative videos! I finally made my decision and got an Air 2S. So much more confidence while flying vs the other brand I tried.
is obstacle sensing and avoidance active in all IF modes?
Cool drone as always cool explanations
Thanks 👍
Nice!!! Awesome information as always Aldryn!! Looking for the prop noise comparison video now though!! Keep up the great work you do with Flytpath!!
I’m buying my Air 2S from Best Buy. Which accident coverage would you recommend.

Hey Aldryn, We talked about this drone so much on the live stream. I had to get one. The fly more was a good deal.
GRET VID! Thanks for the time and effort to put all this together! You've convinced me.
Dopest drone/tech Chanel!
Sick intro! Keep up the awesome work Aldryn!
You always make the best videos on Drones! Because of that I have joined your channel! keep on keepin on!

Hands down, this is one of the top five TH-cam drone channels out there. Very helpful and informative!
This is so great!!👍🏻
Now I can pick up the amazing MA2 pre owned for dirt cheap!
Just bought it for my business and it is amazing!!! Thank you for the review!
Why in the living daylight was it every other drone under the sun your compared the footage against but not the Air2.. hence your comparison footage 8:25
have you destroyed your Mavic Air2 since it was the only unit you did not show any footage of compare shots from, even though it is the most relevant as predessesor
I'm pretty confident that the mavic 3 pro is coming within 6 months now (or something to replace it)
Great video as always. Can't wait to get mine in the mail. Almost went for the FPV drone.
Where's the prop sound comparison video? Thanks! 🙏🏼
The only place to get the best practical review.. unlike Peter, Matti, and others.

Excellent review. This new addition seems to be the ultimate upgrade.
I like the new camera on the Air 2S. Great review, you always do a good job with these new drone releases.
You are the best when it comes to Drone content 🙏👌👍👏
I like the way you review these drones .
I own every one of those too , the Air 2 is probably still my favorite by far .
The phantom 4 pro is my 2nd
As always. Great simple to follow review hitting the right spots.
Don't know why....I still love mini 2 so much..😂...don't forget about the mini 2 giveaway man
You mentioned the digital zoom features in the video category but is there digital zoom in taking pictures as well?
DJI Mavic Air 2 vs. DJI Air 2S please. 😊♥️😍
