In this video, we put the DJI Air 2S to the test and compare is to the DJI Mavic Air 2, the Mavic 2 Pro and my favorite older drone, the Phantom 4 Pro.  It's been a year that I've been using the Mavic Air 2 and I really like it but it is not perfect when it comes to lowlight and detail in the shadows. Moreover, the digital sharpness is pretty ugly in my opinion which makes me sometimes hesitate using this drone.  The Air 2s on the other side comes with a bunch of updates!

Hello there guillaumecornetfilms. Good day and thank you for sharing this interesting video you have filmed. Great work and thank you for your support. .

Cheers mate!

You’re very welcome.

Very informative video.    Still like my MA2 but plan to buy the DJI Pro 3 (or Mavic 3 Pro whatever they call it) vice getting the Air 2S.

And yes I see a few people talking about a Mavic 3 Pro but is there any solid information about that drone? People have been waiting for a Phantom 5 for 4 years and now it's pretty certain that it will never exist...

You're welcome.    Lots of youtube videos with speculations.  Of course, nothing confirmed by DJI.  The same old wait and see game.  Really hoping to see a Mavic 3 Pro release before December.

I've learnt over the year to not trust speculations and more importantly not wait to invest in gear that could help me produce better content. The Air 2S is a mini beast, and is worth the upgrade from the A2 imo. If DJI comes up with a M3P that is actually better, then I'll sell the A2S

Sounds like a good plan.  

Thanks for the love everyone!

I have the P4P V1 and V2 backing up for mapping and modeling.

I picked up the Air2S as backup for my M2Pro CRE and Progress jobs......Depending on the environment, the Air2S sometimes is the primary, and the clients love the imaging.

Well done video!!  Thank you
Randy

Would the Air2S replace all your other drones though? In my opinion, unless for photography where I believe the Air2 with its 41Mp stills is the best, the Air2S easily replaces all my other drones.
Curious to hear your thoughts

Looks like it!

That's one, I'm sure more peole are thinking the same!

No,  Mapping is not something the A2s would be good at.  That and I do not believe the map apps will work with the A2s.

Curious to understand why? Higher resolution would mean better mapping as far as I know since there is more pixels to work with? Also 30% battery life more than a P4 which means more surface mapped per flight. Software-wise it's another story if developers haven't worked yet on a new version for the Air S2

A global/Mechanical shutter takes a much better image as the aircraft is flying at a higher speed.  The A2s does not have this.  20mpxl is 20mpxl  All my birds are 20mpxl sensors.

I have a P4P V1 and V2 for mapping

M2Pro and A2s for CRE and construction progress reporting.
