Appearance

Camera

The DJI Air 2S camera for the first time for the mid-budget UAV niche received a 1-inch matrix. The resulting potential of the camera system makes it easy to shoot high quality stabilized video at 5.4K / 30fps and 4K / 60fps. This portable machine is capable of capturing any event in life with the rich clarity and authentic color tones it deserves.

Shooting in low light conditions

With the arrival of the 20-megapixel sensor, aerial photography in low light conditions will become regular - sunsets, night cities, any charm of the world can now be captured in all its glory thanks to its wide dynamic range, high resolution and accurate color reproduction.

10-bit Dlog-M

The right color profile is the calling card of all professional tools. One billion colors captured by the Dlog-M Air 2S 10-bit color profile will allow post-processing perfectionists to fully immerse themselves in all shades of the environment. The final result has already been appreciated by many in the hobby.

RAW

To always get more visual information in every scene, even in low light conditions, and to provide more flexibility in post-processing, RAW format with a dynamic range of up to 12.6 stops was brought to the Air 2S arsenal.

Intelligent HDR

The Air 2S's intelligent HDR technology automatically merges multiple images, increasing the dynamic range of images without the need for post-processing, which contributes to obtaining more detail in both light and shaded areas of the photo and providing richer images with greater depth at the output.

20MP SmartPhoto

Air 2S inherits from the predecessor a new advanced scene recognition function - SmartPhoto, which significantly improves quality of photography. Only now it works with 20-megapixel images (its predecessor has only 12 megapixels). As a reminder, this feature combines HyperLight and HDR modes to achieve optimal picture display results. With its Scene Recognition capability, the function allows you to optimize various camera settings for five different scenes: sunset, sky, grass, snow and trees.

HDR Panorama

The A2S photo modes include the favorite panorama mode by many users, combining 4 different formats for shooting panoramic views:

  1. Vertical
  2. Wide-angle
  3. 180 ° (180 degree)
  4. Sphere (360 -degree sphere)

Hyperlapse

Hyperlapse is an integral mode of any premium GPS drone, which provides shooting of genuinely unique frames. Still no post-processing. Select a location and one of the four available Hyperlapse presets: Cource LockFreeWaypointCircle

Ai flight and shooting modes

With the advent of a more powerful camera, the developer also worked on an intelligent part of the machine, which will allow each user to turn any adventure into a cinematic film in one tap. In particular, a set of intelligent object tracking modes, FockusTrack, was refined and improved, as well as a completely new revolutionary MasterShots mode was added to the already existing QuickShot modes, turning this drone into a portable flying film studio.

MasterShots

This is the next evolution of QuickShots, which is an advanced intelligent function that, unlike QS, allows you to shoot in one tap in automatic mode more than one of six possible flight scenarios and shooting, and ten different scenarios at once, holding the subject for shooting in the center of the frame, and upon completion of the function, a short cinematic video will be created.

MasterShots includes three thematic presets:

Portrait

Proximity

Landscape

that this function works only in FHD mode and this is a big disadvantage! Hopefully in the future DJI will expand the list of video modes for MasterShots.

QuickShot

The calling card of almost every DJI drone

A complete QuickShot package is available for the DJI Air 2S drone, consisting of 6 execution scenarios:

Dronie

Circle

Helix

Rocket

Boomerang

Asteroid

FocusTrack

Compared to its predecessor, the DJI Air 2S has a redesigned set of FocusTrack intelligent object tracking modes. The drone still has three scenarios for intelligent object tracking:

Active Track 4.0 (in the predecessor AT 3.0)

Spotlight 2.0

Point of Interest 3.0

O3 (OcuSync 3.0)

DJI Air 2S features the most advanced video streaming technology DJI O3 (OcuSync 3.0) providing an ultra-smooth, clear and reliable FHD video link at distances (FCC / CE) up to 12/8 km. As well as previous generations of OcuSync, the O3 system operates in two frequency bands 2.4 / 5.8 GHz and is able to automatically switch between channels based on their load. And to maximize the potential of the digital O3 system, the drone was equipped with four antennas (the predecessor had two of them).

Power

Power Air 2S inherited from Mavic Air 2, which predetermined their absolute interchangeability, as well as manufacturability the new items were improved, the refusal to upgrade the battery led to a noticeable reduction in flight time, which for the A2S was 31 minutes (DJI Mavic Air 2 - 34 minutes).

In practice, the maximum flight time of the A2S with mixed flying style will be about 24-25 minutes.

Control

Control of the drone can be implemented as standard RC231 equipment in tandem with a smartphone (iOS / Android) via the DJI Fly mobile app, and the advanced DJI Smart Controller, the benefits of which can be found in our detailed review.

Standard drone hardware The Mavic Air 2 and Air 2S are completely interchangeable.

Mobile application

, the software allows you to edit and share the captured content with the whole world in several taps. To download the DJI Fly app, visit the official DJI Air 2S download page at https://www.dji.com/air-2s/downloads.

Safety

The combination of portability, safety and smart technology will allow the user to spend more time piloting without the fear of crashing the drone.

Obstacle Avoidance System

Unlike the sensor system of its predecessor, DJI Air 2S is able to recognize the environment not in three, but in four directions: in frontabovebehindbelow

APAS 4.0

Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems 4.0 (APAS 4.0) is a top-of-the-line 4th generation Advanced Pilot Assistance System that uses advanced algorithms to enable DJI Air 2S is more active in avoiding obstacles in more difficult scenarios and at high speeds.

ADS-B Transponder

DJI Air 2S adds an extra layer of airspace safety with industry leading DJI AirSense safety system operating on the basis of an ADS-B transponder. Thanks to this technology , the drone is able to exchange information about the current location and direction of flight with other air traffic participants (aircraft, helicopters, UAVs) equipped with a similar system. If such vessels are in the launch area, the drone system will display them on a map via the DJI Fly app and notify them with audio and visual messages to help the pilot avoid collisions.

ND Filters

DJI Air 2S Fly More Combo Advanced Kit includes Low Level ND Filters (ND 4/8 / 16/32) for bright, saturated images even at low ISO settings. Also, if desired, the user can separately purchase a set of High-Stop ND filters (ND 64/128/256/512) that provide optimal shutter speed control in conditions of excessive lighting.

) Looking at how the lead developerDJI Mavic Mini / Mini 2 ; (99 1) DJI Mavic Air/ Mavic Air 2 / Air 2S), it seems that very soon we will witness a big transition to the next level of technology throughout the industry. In other words, looking at the potential of an entry-level UAV, today it is excitingly difficult to imagine what the upcoming cars from the premium niche ( Mavic 3

And DJI Air 2S direct confirmation of the above. For the first time in the history of the hobby, the mid-range model received a high-performance camera built on a 1-inch matrix, a powerful 4-sided obstacle avoidance system with an advanced fourth-generation pilot assistance system (APAS 4.0) and top-end video streaming technology (OcuSync 3.0). In fact, most of this upgrade had to wait for the upcoming М3Pro

Anyway, no matter how technologically advanced the A2S is, it is a mistake to believe that it can replace the premium professional Mavic 2 Pro, which some users hastily decided to get rid of. Recall that the latter was developed in conjunction with the Swedish company Victor Hasselblad AB, which dates back to 1941 - whose engineers are considered gurus in the production of medium format cameras and photographic equipment.

From which it follows that today the DJI Air 2S is the best universal entry-level drone, designed for those users who are picky about the quality of the source photo / video material, but do not consider buying a UAV from premium segment. Well, the Mavic 2 Pro, so far, remains the best portable tool implemented taking into account the preferences of professionals in the photo / video industry.
