DJI’s Mavic Air 2 drone already offers a great balance of price and performance, but with the new Mavic Air 2S, DJI is renewing its latest quadcopter with a much larger camera sensor.
Jumping from the miginch sensor on the Mavic Air 2 on the Mavic Air 2S’s new 1-inch sensor, DJI says its latest drone “sets a new benchmark” for capturing images in the air. Thand $ 1,000 Mavic Air 2S is capable of capturing 20 MP still images or 5.4 K video at up to 30 fps (or 4K video at 60 fps). His the new sensor can also capture up to 12.5 dynamic range stops, which is just the 14 stops you get from a Mavic 2 Pro, though the Mavic 2 Pro costs $ 600 more.
And while the design of the Air 2S has remained largely the same, DJI still managed to add two more obstacle sensors (for a total of four), which run on the APAS 4.0 system. advanced piloting assistance) from DJI to create what DJI says is its most sophisticated obstacle avoidance protocol yet.
The 2S also claims a strong battery life of 31 minutes per charge, with DJI’s OcuSync 3.0 technology offering more than seven miles (12 km) in range thanks to the addition of a new quad antenna configuration. And while the Air 2S doesn’t have an optical zoom, it supports up to 4x to 4K digital zoom or up to 8x zoom to 1080p / 30 fps.

And, of course, how he does it with each new drone, DJI has introduced a number of new photo and video modes. TThe Air 2S has a new MasterShots settings, which allows the drone to select its own path and predefined image to better suit the conditions rather than relying on you to figure it all out. The hyper- of the Air 2Slapse mode has also been improved to provide smoother and less unstable images with the help of electronic image stabilization.
Thus, among its great sensor, APAS 4.0 and all new and existing shooting modes, the Mavic Air 2S should be a great drone for both beginners and more advanced users.
The Mavic Air 2S is available today. Tgoes the standard kit for $ 1,000 (which includes the drone, remote control and a battery) and the most expensive Fly More Combo tips in two additional batteries, an ND filter, a charge hub and a bag for $ 1,300.
