![]() We do wonder, however, if DJI has a new hardware design planned in the near future, and if a year from now a Mavic Air 3 with a new design might be the better option. However, if you own an older DJI like an early Phantom, then the folding design and improved camera and intelligence of the Air S2 will feel like a significant upgrade, and if you had your heart set on spending $800 on a new drone, then paying the extra $200 might be more palatable. Given the extra cost, we don't recommend that owners of the Air 2 sell their drone in a bid to buy the new model. That's a sizable chunk of cash given the Air 2 isn't yet a year old, and the only real difference between the two is the imaging sensor and increased video resolution. The new drone has an extra pair of proximity sensors on its front for enhanced obstacle avoidance DJIĭJI is pricing the new Mavic Air 2S at $999, making it a not-insignificant $200 more than the Air 2. This is down slightly on the quoted 34 minutes of the Air 2, but flight time always varies depending on how the drone is being used, as well as weather conditions, so in reality owners shouldn't notice a pronounced difference. This is where the new model takes a slight hit compared to its successor, with DJI saying the Air S2 has a battery life of 31 minutes. There is no digital zooming option when recording at the full 5.4K resolution, and zooming also isn't possible when recording with HDR enabled.ĭJI Mavic Air 2 vs Mavic Air 2S: Battery life With the new DJI, it is possible to zoom 6x when shooting 1080p Full HD at 60fps, or 3x when recording video at 4K and 60fps. Previously, drones with their smaller sensors have struggled to retain image quality when using digital zoom. That large imaging sensor means digital zooming is something you might actually want to do when shooting video with the Air 2S. However, it is worth noting that the new Mavic Air 2S shoots 4K video at the same rate of 60 frames per second as the two other models, and while its 5.4K resolution is higher than the others, this resolution is limited to 30 frames per second. That should mean increased video quality and detail, and less degradation when editing. This is joined by an increase in video bit rate, from 100Mbps on the Air 2 and 2 Pro to 150Mbps on the new Mavic Air 2S. Video resolution has also increased, from 4K on the Air 2 and 2 Pro, to 5.4K on the Mavic Air 2S. This makes it the same size as the sensor of the Mavic 2 Pro, which until now has been seen as a higher-end drone from DJI. It has in fact doubled from half an inch to a full inch. While the photo resolution has decreased from 48 megapixels in the Air 2 to 20MP with the Air 2S, the size of the imaging sensor has increased significantly. ![]() The biggest changes for DJI's latest drone center around its camera.
