DJI Air 2S Review: Superb results without the work

It's less than a year since the DJI Mavic Air 2 was released, but the DJI Air 2S makes a bold statement in being the best all-around drone in the market.

Captures sharp images ; Strong details from its 5.4K video ; Pro level clips with Mastershots ; Fun and safe to fly

Camera can sometimes hunt for focus

DJI Air 2S Review

1-inch sensor camera ; Video at up to 5.4K quality ; Robust safety features ; Obstacle detection and avoidance ; Automated camera shots ; HDR, Log, and Standard video profiles ; AirSense transponder ; Half-hour flight time

Doesn't offer in-camera filtered looks ; 8GB internal storage isn't much ; Remote doesn't include EV control wheel ; App-based editing limited to 1080p output ; HDR HLG workflow for pros only ; Raw images don't transfer to smartphones and tablets...

The DJI Air 2S is a small folding drone with a premium 1-inch sensor camera, 5.4K video, and a number of automated flight and safety features, making it a pro-minded alternative to the more affordable Mavic Air 2.

DJI's Air 2S is the Unexpected Drone Upgrade I Didn't Need, but Love

DJI is back with a new consumer drone, and if you're serious about videography, it's worth buying.

Larger camera sensor; shoots in 10-bit D-Log; up to 8x digital zoom

DJI Air 2S review

With a pro-sized camera and a compact frame, is the DJI Air 2S a Mavic 2 Pro? Is it an Air 2? Or is it something altogether new?

5.4K Video, HDR ; 1-inch sensor ; Ever-better AI ; Portable

No side sensors ; App can be distracting ; Price bump from Air 2

The DJI Air 2S drone is an amazing achievement, bringing a great camera into a compact airframe and combining it with AI systems which are useful and surprisingly accessible. It moves the camera on from the Air 2, welcoming photo enthusiasts to the...

DJI Air 2S drone review

The DJI Air 2S has significant improvements in image quality over its predecessor.

Easy to fly ; Good flight time ; Larger image sensor

MagicShots feature needs refining

Ultimately, if you’re looking for a quality drone, you can’t go wrong with DJI, and with the introduction of the Air 2S it’s all about what features you want, and how much you’re willing to pay. Personally, I love the $449 DJI Mini 2; while it doesn’t...
