Oh my. I was drawn to this vid by its title, which I now know is misleading. While there is some useful basic info here, I suggest viewers look elsewhere, as there are also many incorrect things. And many of the things that would benefit from some more careful explanation are simply glossed over. Below are some examples. The first ones are kind of nit picking, but the later ones are more important. 2:51 Under FAA's Part 107 rules there are many many situations where flying higher than 400' above the take off point's altitude is legal, such as when legally inspecting cell towers, or when flying up along rising land. 3:09 FAA prohibits operating a drone from within a moving vehicle. 4:03 "this will automatically warm up the motors" is pretty misleading, as what it will actually do is start spinning the props. "Warming the motors" is likely to injure someone; spinning up the props might. 5:22 You do not need to disable sensors to hand catch this model drone. You can use the same technique that works with the Air 2 model (non S). Many other TH-cam vids demonstrate how. 8:27 Turn Flight Assistance Off does not turn off the sensors, it just turns off the drone using those sensors to automatically influence where you can fly it. Even when this setting is off the sensors still detect obstacles and indicate their presence on the screen with the orange bars and beeping, which can be useful to know. 8:33 Bypass mode does not just influence the drone when flying in one of the "intelligent modes" (by which I think you mean Active Track and Quick Shot modes)... It also influences manual flying, 9:06 Enabling this setting does exactly the opposite of what you describe. 9:13 Your comments about when you might need to recalibrate the compass or IMU are not useful (a crash is at least as likely to screw up the calibration of the IMU as it is the compass, for example). 11:11 The "Holograph.... shows all your important levels"... Seem that you don't understand this feature well enough to name it correctly or say what it actually does. 11:38 The recommendation to alway leave WB on Auto is bad advice, especially when shooting video. 12:30 - 13:49 Your brief descriptions of the RTH buttons, the orange bars on the display, the gimbal wheel, and the active track/spotlight/POI features are all so superficial as to be pretty much useless. This is one of those areas where there actually are hidden features which you might have talked about (like how to control the digital zoom feature and to rotate the gimbal sideways) 15:00 "There you go. Now you are a pro when it comes to operating your drone...." No way based on just watching this video. Sorry
Most of this analysis of the post is spot on. One exception: FAA rules actually do allow you to fly from inside a moving vehicle. But only in a sparsely populated area. Even then, you can't if you have been hired to transport property. You're right about the commonly misunderstood 400-foot rule. Within 400 feet of a structure, you are allowed to fly 400 feet above it.
I just got my AIR 2S a couple of days ago and have been watching tons of videos since it's been pouring down rain Non-Stop the whole time all but a couple hours where I was able to get a quick test flight in. This is by far THE BEST REVIEW/INTRO VIDEO on TH-cam. You did an absolutely phenomenal job. Quick, precise, easy to understand, etc... Thank you so much!!
Thank you for making an in depth, but easy to follow video! I would personally like to see you break down the different video modes as you said you could.
Great video I would like to point out that as someone flying prt 107 rules commercially that allot of the new drone pilots can be spotted by the little band aids on the tips of their fingers from trying to hand catch , after awhile you either get good or you just stop trying ---be very careful those props sting and if its a little windy .....
at 5:20, that icon does not turn off the sensors, it's just a shortcut to toggle sideway flight, if it's on you can flight to four directions, forward, backward, left and right, if it's off, you can only flight forward and backward
I bought my bro an Air 2S for christmas...searching TH-cam for Air 2S video this is the second drone creator that's diesel lol. What are the chances of that.
This was an outstanding breakdown on this amazing drone. I’m putting it to good use. I would like you to cover those hyperlapse options. I didn’t know it had those waypoints and whatnot. Hoping you break it down again for us. Thanks brother.
Having trouble as a rookie with active track following my sand rail when I do wheelies. I try and stay under 25 mph but not sure what setting I should have the switch? T-N-or S? It's out in a sand dunes so pretty much no trees or obstacles to hit. Just need it to keep up. Thanks
I think when prompting it TO LAND..it’s meant to land RIGHT WHERE IT IS..or in that location, as in IMMEDIATELY. Kind of an ‘emergency’ landing to get “out of trouble”. Otherwise it’d be no different than RTH…
maybe you can answer this question for me... I asked DJI but couldn't get a straight answer... can the mounting bracket on the remote extend enough to allow you to use a tablet?
HELP ME PLEASE? When i record i record at 23.98fps on my Air 2S when i put it into my editor Powerdirector 365 it has the video property at 23.00fps which ends up making my footage shaky/jerky. When i do the same thing with my Mini2 it does not do this the video is 23.98fps.... This is driving me crazy can someone help me please?
Thanks for the review - there were some very helpful tips for us. One question is, do you know if we can define waypoints and have the drone fly thru them while simply streaming video, instead of taking snapshots for the hyperlapse clip?
I can’t stand using my drone, it pisses me right off. The joy stick is all wrong. Togo up in air craft yiu pull back towards you, but nit in this drone. In construction my excavator, tractor, back hoe, ect, yiu want the bucket to go up yiu pullback, so why can’t they make the drone do same. I’ve tried to change the joystick but it can’t. Is there a update. I can get used to it somewhat, but in an emergency I instinctively pull the joy stick back to go up.
Slow down, talking at such a fast rate is counter-productive. Plus at least learn the names of the things you talk about. WTF did you say "Hologram" when it is clearly labeled HISTOGRAM
Don't buy into the hype. These units are terrible. They are buggy, latency issues with the video feed, signal related issues are 2000 ft plain of sight no objects nor other radios, unable to charge your phone (slow charging only), the tracking software loses sight in plain sight, files get corrupted 😉, they aren't shielded from EMF/EMI, the software app is buggy, you will get jitter in transmission and on the recording file, these are cheap Chinese toys not drones. Sorry DJI, you lost the game and feel. Let someone else start the trend.

Nice just ordered mine today is it worth it 😅😅
Just got mine and 7 months later, still raining.
Do you still have it a year later
@@aWienerandaBeaner I do
Great work! I've had my Air2S for almost 2 years now and still learned some stuff here!
Thank you for making an in depth, but easy to follow video!
I would personally like to see you break down the different video modes as you said you could.
Your video is one of the most complete and clear that I have seen about the DJI air2. Congratulations !!

Just got mine yesterday! It's easier to set up than I expected as long as you have the Fly App ready
Bought mine the same day! It's fun, I'm still learning!
Me too I go mine yesterday may 9th and it’s awesome!
Tips and Tricks? Sry this is just a walkthrough
Short, clear and no more extra story about the review. You deserve a sub and a like. 🔥
Thanks for this! I just bought the Air 2S and am loving it. Appreciate you showing off all the features!
One of the better and more helpful videos we've seen on the DJI Air 2S!
First flight Rules without showing you how to fly it ... Awesome!
Yes
Mine is arriving in less than a week. Looking forward to Ocusync 3.0 and more top of the line cinematic features!
Well done. I thought the info was right on the money. Short, brief but informative. Good work!
Thanks for the super helpful video!! Exactly what I needed. SUch an awesome little drone & now I can be more confident in understanding and using it!
at 5:20, that icon does not turn off the sensors, it's just a shortcut to toggle sideway flight, if it's on you can flight to four directions, forward, backward, left and right, if it's off, you can only flight forward and backward

Great video!!! I’m glad I found your video before my first flight today. I feel more relaxed watching your simple and easy break down.
Didn't think I could swap it to imperial units! Thanks so much
Excellent video!
Nice vid buddy! Would be awesome if you covered quick shots and hyperlapse. That would be amazing if you did that
Incredible Work ✌️
Bro, great video. Thank you so much!
This was an outstanding breakdown on this amazing drone. I’m putting it to good use. I would like you to cover those hyperlapse options. I didn’t know it had those waypoints and whatnot. Hoping you break it down again for us. Thanks brother.
Great video, it has been really helpful. It will be great to get deep in the smart modes to test them and see what we can get out of them.
I like go into the camera more and how do the zoom in and out from flying with I guess the Gamble wheel and FN button. Thanks
good stuff man TY I get mine on July 14th!
It seems the controller looks exactly the same as that of the Mini 2 but with better transmission.
Transmission is actually the same. The controller is still O2. The drone, itself, is O3.
Very insightful vid
Nice one Eddie! This video is going to help a lot of people! ✔️🚀
Nice video. Too bad there is not a tip on activating the 2S with the V2 goggles
One thing I noticed you didn’t cover is if you switch to 1080p 24fps you can get a zoom up to 8x
Having trouble as a rookie with active track following my sand rail when I do wheelies. I try and stay under 25 mph but not sure what setting I should have the switch? T-N-or S? It's out in a sand dunes so pretty much no trees or obstacles to hit. Just need it to keep up. Thanks
@@SandCarServices go with S, it fast to following ur vehicle. But the sensor go off for S mode
Awesome video Sir👍
Thanks for sharing the Gimbal camera movements when first initializing soon after the drone is switched on. There are some small twitch movements.
I like it but how much does it cost?
$999
Nice review 👍 a question can you use the remote control from the Mavic air 2 with the air 2S thanks 🙏
I think when prompting it TO LAND..it’s meant to land RIGHT WHERE IT IS..or in that location, as in IMMEDIATELY. Kind of an ‘emergency’ landing to get “out of trouble”. Otherwise it’d be no different than RTH…
So if I am wanting to make a video tracking myself while I run or ride a bike, how do I do that without having to carry the controller?
Great video. I would like to learn more.
Great video thank you .
You skipped right through the part I was looking forward to the most... Hahaha
What do you use to edit your drone footage?
You should do a video of you flexing the muscle or working out!!! 💪🏻
agreed
Just got mine where is pairing button located on drone? Can’t see it thanks for any help air2s army out
Good video
Could the Air2S recard 360 degrees while RTH. Crow, I know that the mini2 can recard from the back while RTH..Crow.
Do you need to run the calibration before flying?
Rockin!!
Quick question do you know how to record audio from your phone while flying the drone
Just use a different device. Much easer and simpler then messing with the device your flying with. Tripods for this are fairly cheap and useful
Is there a way I can make my Drone turn around faster?
Yes there is all you have to do is go to settings,camera and scroll down to “advanced gimbal settings” and then customize it to your likings
Great 🤠👍
Wait, does the DJI Mavic Air 2S record sound when filming?
no
Do you tap the screen for auto focus
That's a great drone👍👊.
DJI Mavic Air 2S is a great drone to have but seems a bit expensive for the average person.
Is your air 2s automatically switching to FPV mode after turning off APAS?
super helpful ty
Can you live stream to Facebook on the air 2s
maybe you can answer this question for me... I asked DJI but couldn't get a straight answer... can the mounting bracket on the remote extend enough to allow you to use a tablet?
Dji mavic air 2 remote controller tablet holder
I doubt a normal size tablet will fit. It's already struggling to hold my big phone.
They do sale kits for the air2s for tablets. If your using a really big one I suggest a lanyard to help keep eveyting steady
@@justinlipscomb1988 thank you sir..
Can’t go live on Facebook anymore
SO, WHAT ARE HIDDEN TIPS???
You should do a video of you flexing the muscles or working out
HELP ME PLEASE? When i record i record at 23.98fps on my Air 2S when i put it into my editor Powerdirector 365 it has the video property at 23.00fps which ends up making my footage shaky/jerky.

How to do led lights off, permanent ?
Thanks for the review - there were some very helpful tips for us. One question is, do you know if we can define waypoints and have the drone fly thru them while simply streaming video, instead of taking snapshots for the hyperlapse clip?
How can you turn the led lights off?
I can’t stand using my drone, it pisses me right off. The joy stick is all wrong. Togo up in air craft yiu pull back towards you, but nit in this drone.

DIdnt know the 2s had way points?

Black tape :)
Your presentation is a bit to fast for a first timer!
11:02 pvb mode??
Hidden Features ??????
Passando pra prestigiar aquele like e fortalecer o canal 😀😉✌👍👍👍
hidden features??
What brand of speech impediment does this guy have, I can’t figure it out
so much out of focus footage. ughhhh!
Slow down, talking at such a fast rate is counter-productive. Plus at least learn the names of the things you talk about. WTF did you say "Hologram" when it is clearly labeled HISTOGRAM
I really don't like the video quality out of DJI drones it looks like 7 fps... I know it's 264 codek but still poor performance by DJI
Blurred out map. Lol
Zero tricks or hidden features in this video. My time has been completely wasted
you talk to damn fast
boooring
Don't buy into the hype. These units are terrible. They are buggy, latency issues with the video feed, signal related issues are 2000 ft plain of sight no objects nor other radios, unable to charge your phone (slow charging only), the tracking software loses sight in plain sight, files get corrupted 😉, they aren't shielded from EMF/EMI, the software app is buggy, you will get jitter in transmission and on the recording file, these are cheap Chinese toys not drones. Sorry DJI, you lost the game and feel. Let someone else start the trend.
BS! Have you actually have used one?
@@DavidUnderhill yes I ended up giving it to my neighbor and bought something better. Awaiting for my xdynamics evolve 2 to show up any minute now
Mine works really well smooth as silk and so much fun to explore with it.
To many adds and boring
