DJI MAVIC AIR 2S UPGRADE

From a hardware and aircraft standpoint, the external shell is virtually identical, save the extra set of upwards object avoidance sensors, larger camera gimbal, and the orange tips on the props.

DJI MAVIC AIR 2S UPGRADE

What’s new:Īt first glance the Air 2S might seem like a minor upgrade from the Mavic Air 2, and in some ways it is.

If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. After which I’ll likely go out and buy my own for future use. However, the second unit they sent over I will send back to them like normal. Once this review is done, they’ll have to fish it out of the canal themselves, because I already tried. Note that for this review I’m using a media loaner from DJI. Of course, in the pursuit of figuring out how well it tracks, I’ve pushed the system to its limits…and maybe a bit beyond. I’ve been testing the Air 2S for a while now, and I’ve got tons of tests to detail, but especially in the athletic tracking department using DJI’s ActiveTrack technology, which also received an upgrade to ActiveTrack 4.0 for faster and more accurate tracking.

From a software standpoint they also added a new MasterShots feature that quickly puts together a highlight reel for you of a given landmark using a slew of automated shots. But, it’s gained significantly increased resolution, a bump from 4K up to 5.4K (which is effectively doubling the resolution, using pixel math), plus they added two more obstacle avoidance sensors to the top front edge of the drone. This unit drops the long-lived ‘Mavic’ from its name, in DJI’s larger effort to simplify product naming. DJI has announced its latest drone, the DJI Air 2S.
