Another level up on aerial photography/cinematography with the camera improvements on the DJI Air 2S.

I’m here for all the improvements on the image quality. I love that our aerial content just keeps on getting better and better.

I'm loving that Air 2S. I've been using the Mini 1 since September. The Air 2S will be a major upgrade for me

-- Excellent comprehensive comparison . . . including voice quality, rate of speech, clarity of explanations, and specific quality examples. Thank you, Parker Walbeck.

One thing to mention is you said they included the ND filters, but that's only for the Fly More bundle. Normal $1000 bundle doesn't come with any ND's.

Great job Landon! Gotta love how down to earth and humble Landon is. Keep up the great work!

Best review. The pro looks more filmic, and the air looks newer and more digital especially the noise patterns. Air 2s not having the adjustable aperture is a problem, looks choppy compared to the Pro. Also produces a more flat image out of camera which is nicer to grade. Pro still has the edge for me personally, but the new Air2s definitely checks a ton of boxes for a lot of people and the range is great. Fun times to be into drones.

Landon...thank you so much for your very informative video. I've been wanting to upgrade my drone for the last few years. Every time DJ comes out with a new one, I want to jump on it. But price always has me waiting and dragging my feet. This one seems like the REAL DEAL!!!

Thanks for the review! This is one of the better reviews I've seen and helped me decide on what to do. Thank you much!

I usually do a bucket load of research before I buy anything , especially something this expensive. This time I just pretty much just bought the Air 2 on the spot to replace my ageing Phantom 3 ( I know, I'm a bit behind) without realising what an amazing piece of equipment I have purchased. This is already restarted my love of flying and filming, something that has tapered off over time.

When Bytheway said by the way, I felt that.

I’d like to iterate the upward facing sensors are actually extremely intelligent from dji. Consider you’re flying full tilt, your drones front sensors are facing down, and the top sensors are looking forward, this will immensely help forward obstacle avoidance.

Didnt expect that this will drone will be a close comparison to the Pro. Exciting upgrades!

I REALLY hope Master Shots becomes available for other DJI drones in the future. That could be a game changer and make like so easy and convenient!

The camera comparison was helpful to see. I'd love to hear your overall thoughts on the DJI oversharpened image and clunky codec. For my uses, I hope they chase a pleasing image and smoother playback faster than the resolution race. Something that cuts better with cinema cameras. Maybe that'll be the Mavic 3? It's still a great accomplishment to fit that tech in a small body. Thanks for your review!

The Mavic 2 Pro takes fantastically smooth 4K video

Thanks for your video. I have a question about the master/quickshots: Is there (like with the mini) still an unremovable DJI-logo at the end of the finished/exportable (quick- and master-) shot? Is there a way to remove it while still using the result of the app with the music and the templates?

This was perfect. Answered almost all my queries. Thank you!

Love the comparison! Looks like I still need those few features on my 2 Pro. I’ll be holding off for the next generation Mavic. Thanks!

The fixed aperture doesn't matter to me at all, because I can always add the pixel motion blur effect in After effects, and not worry about extra render times, thanks to the dynamic link feature. So it really doesn't matter to me, but if you don't have After Effects, this may be a big deal for you.

Nice video. I noticed in your drone footage that the frame rate was a little stuttery or jerky. Did you film it in 30 fps or 60 fps? I've noticed that if I film in 60 fps, it's no longer jerky looking.

Just curious... You said that the Air 2S has the better camera, and you mentioned that the only con was the fixed aperture. However...right before that you had a segment talking about how the Air 2S's sensor was noisier than the Pro 2's sensor. Why would you not consider sensor noise to be a con?

Amazing video guys. High quailty content right here👏 Important question, Do you know if the Crystal Sky 7" monitor will work/mount to the Air 2S?

Well put together and very helpful. I recon the Air 2s is definitely the way to go for me. No point in spending the extra dollars.

Great video! What memory card should I buy to record in 5k on air 2 s?

Great video! Question: Does the new Air2s controller also fit iPad mini 4? I don't prefer to use my cell phone if I can help it. Does anyone know?

Great video and helped me pick which is next. I have the DJI mini 2 at the moment but going to upgrade for the air2s

Thanks for this comparison video! It was very useful. 🙌🏻

thanks for the comparison. Good job. I have air2 and after testing air2s I do not see the need to replace it, air2s was supposed to be a pro2 killer and it is not. 1 inch and 10 bit I thought there would be a huge difference and it is minimal or sometimes none. You can make a mistake unlike the 2 pictures, I'm waiting for what they show in Pro3. only it will be big and heavy and expensive

Did you check if the nd filters of the Mavic 2 pro fit on the Air2s?

Bought my first drone two weeks ago and my shots look similarly unusable as in this video... Is it an air2s problem or a setting problem?

Great video! You answered all my questions, as I wonder which one to buy.

Thanks bro you helped me a lot with mi channel, I have to say thank you 🙏🏻!! From Italy

Good video, im just about to go and drop the hard earned on the pro but have pressed pause with the new air 2 s dropping, you didn't mention of any of the really important stuff like batteries, does it work with the smart controller, do you still need the fly more kit & so on. Rgs Wayne

Thank you for making this comparison... was very helpful.... & Informative... good job.

tbh I felt like the intro sequence had framerate mismatch issues. The foreground elements were jittery to my eyes, does anyone else see the same thing?

Brilliant comparison review thanks and you have to be the first to post a review from across the pond that doesn't shout and say guys and awesome every two seconds. Your review has cleared up quite a lot of questions that I had without coming across as biased. One thing Im not sure of though is the 4k and 5k resolutions surely you need a device capable of displaying the resolution to see the benefit or am I missing something in the technical side. Once again very good review good and informative to listen too and very nice on the eye

Great helpful video. I own the Air 2 (not S) Does the Air 2S have 8k hyperlapse like my Air 2?

Nice to see a review that’s not just a commercial shilling for the company. Thanks for sharing

I have one question because I am in the market. I actually use of all things the Yuneec Q500(I know but I bought it like four years ago) do they use the same batteries? meaning the Mavic Pro2 and the DJI Air 2S? if not how much are extra batteries? I was thinking of just adding one so I could get 40-50 minutes of flight time and do they have any kind of portable charging for the batteries?

I love your test flight area... we camp there all the time - just beware the rangers, technically I think you are still inside the park. Great comparison, thank you! It does beg the question.... if the A2S is so close to the MP2 we must be in for a real treat when the MP3 comes out!

I'm just waiting for the next drone to come out. I've been thinking about getting the Air 2 S since it's released date, but after that people were already talking about DJI coming out with something else. So, that's what made me hold on until than. Thanks for sharing

I appreciate this video. it help make decision on what drone to get. it's genuine and fair info and review. I hate some other guys who just do stuff for clout and views. thanks folks.

6:15 are these filters only part of a particular package? I just bought the Air 2s from Costco and no filters were included.

Sound design on that first sequence is immaculate!

have you had any issues with the right hand prop getting in shot on any of your testing of the Air 2 s ? seen a lot of negative feedback already about this.

Thank you for the video! 5,4 k - 4:2:2 or 4:2:0?

Still waiting for a Mini with 1 inch sensor. The only thing I need rather than the reset of childish features that nobody really uses much. Great review!

Awesome video Parker .👍the air2S is an amazing drone . DJI just does it well

what's your opinion of the new controller when it comes to adjusting the shutter speed? On my mavic I use a wheel to adjust shutter and I don't think this one has the wheel. How has that been working for you?

Yeas the video we all wanna see , thanks again and again

The next iteration to shoot in portrait mode will get my vote. This is the sole reason I am still on the Mavic Pro 1.

Will active track 4.0 come to the Magic Pro 2 in a software/firmware update?

What led tube lights do you have to your back right side? Our left side of screen.

Great comparison video. Found it insightful.

What a great review, Parker! Congrats mate :) I think I'd go for the Air 2S

Off-topic but what is the name of the standing tube lights on the corner? Was looking to buy them but don't know the name.

Just sold my A2 and ordered an A2S. I had 55 hours and 360 miles on the A2. Excited about lower noise night photos to sell.

Great video thanks for showing raw footage from the drone!

The more I see about the Air 2 S, the more I am starting my new-drone fund toward this purchase (for indie film).

I have been saving for a new drone should I get this new Air 2S or continue and wait for a Mavic 3 model?

Well done video Parker...thanks you....personally I would be leaning toward the 2 Pro, however the one new feature about the 2s that I liked was the gimicky autonomous flight mode where it basically creates a small movie. I could not find any where that the 2 Pro has that feature. Do you know? Thank you in advance for your time.

Does the mavic pro 2 ND Filter fits on the mavic air 2s?

Can I connect FPV-glasses to them? And does the flying distance decrease because of this?

The comparison I was looking for

Mavic 2 Pro now comes with the smart controller with built-in screen. Might be something to consider as far as convenience since you don’t have to bother with hooking up your phone.

i really love your video color tone. would you mind to share what color LUT or color setting you use?

Very informative 👏. I think since it is my first time flying a Drone I'll stick to the Mavic 2 Pro just because of the Sensors. I wouldn't like to crash my First Baby 😊

EXCELLENT comparison. Thank you..

What is the pulsing in the faster drone shots? Is that mixed frame rate? Saw it on other drone vids too.. Looses the smooth feel....

Great comparison and review. I have to think the DJ I would have to start thinking about some kind of waterproof system for the motors so you can fly in extreme downpour. Or think about making a drone that can dive right into a freaking Lake , get underwater footage and then fly right back out..🤔

@@iamapigeyedtraitorthatisin1319 Honestly, for me, I really dig the upside of the Air 2S. The camera is neck and neck... the slight edge 'might' go to the MP2 but is it worth spending another $500? I don't think so. Also, especially for beginners, the Air 2S is more of a "fun" drone. There are the pro modes but you the active tracking couldn't be easier. I know it's scary flying at first. I started with a Phantom 3 and it was super clunky, no obstacle avoidance, etc. The Mavic is super easy to fly and it's a great tool but not super fun. This Air 2S really is fun for me. For a quick crash course on photography, especially with drones; it's the same triangle; aperture, shutter, ISO. Aperture is the amount of light and depth of field. A "fast" F/stop is like a 1.4 on cameras and a big falloff from the subject and the background. A a slower is F/22, which is like a pinhole. The trade-off is... less light and the foreground and background compressed flatter. Some people prefer that for landscape photography. So start with what you want for your F/stop. Personally, I almost always shoot wide open. The goal is you want the least about of shutter as possible. If you're shooting 24 frames per second, you want 1/48 ideally... or 1/60. Shutter is how natural vs. strobey an image is. The most cinematic drone footage is smooth. Some people crank the shutter to, like, 1/1000 or whatever because it's too much light coming into the camera so they cheat it by too much shutter. Cranking the shutter makes it like a quick blink vs. staring with open eyes at an image. It's more about the motion you get from a slower shutter and 1/48 is like a 180 degree angle (the default for cinema cameras). Now... wide open aperture and 1/48 (or 1/60) shutter... that's a ton of light coming in, so how do you do that? NEUTRAL DENSITY is your friend. For me, I use a ND32+PL. That seems heavy but it rarely is. It's like sunglasses for your lens. Also, the PL is poloarizing... it makes the clouds more pronounced/defined, and takes glare off of water. With this on, then I look at my ISO. If it's around 100-400, depending on what the 'native' ISO is for the sensor. If it's too dark (with F/2.8 on this drone and 1/48), then I go down to 16ND and see how that feels. If it's too bright, then back to the 32 and then up the ISO to where the histogram is centered. Histogram you say? It's the way these drones are foolproof. First of all, personally, I shoot in log so I can color grade late (and this 10 bit color is fantastic!!!!). But, when you turn on your histogram, it's like a 'wave'. That's critical for exposure. With a LUT or baked-in color, you don't know what you're truly getting... with log, that's as real as these drones get. With all of that said... you can shoot on auto as well but, even if you do, I would still use ND32. I tried seeing what the Air 2S would do on Auto without ND and it was shockingly good... but it cranked the shutter and looked strobey. In the Flymore combo, they give you some but I'm hoping Polar Pro has Air 2S filters coming out... PP is amazing. I know it's a lot at once but hopefully it's a little helpful.
