I take the Mavic Air 2 out at night and go through the video settings to see how far I can push the ISO and to find what I consider to be the best settings for night video on the Mavic Air 2
Obviously with the Mavic Air 2 you are a bit limited in terms of low light capabilities due to the small sensor size on the camera but does that mean you can't get decent low light footage with the drone? In this video I'll find out and show you my findings with real examples so you can see for yourselves
Does the small sensor just mean the Mavic Air 2 is confined to daytime shooting or have DJI pulled it out the bag and managed to pack the camera with enough tech to enable night time shooting? 👍

    Change to 1/50 if you can? Shutter speeds of 60 are at the same frequency as a lot of street lighting so that should fix that or shoot at a higher shutter speed 100 or something?

Many nightshots are postedit elevated. The Mavic Air2 even here in 2Q 2022 I reckon its the best bang for the buck on the market as an entry full fledge DJI drone... if you can get it at DJIs pricereducted deals, with that 450 of value Flymore combo that seems incl. at like 790 USD Mini2 is 600 with its flymore and Air2S is 1300.. quite a stretch from 790. It got allt he bells and whistle.. great in subzero degree.. 34min flightimes.. extremely fast 70kmh, good in windy condition, and its got an ideal size if you ain't pursuing sub250g There are some things from Air2 I really had hoped would be ported to Air2S, like its HDR feature.. that is some of the best in handling highs & lows without choking either, and would also love to see the 240fps1080p slow-mo. But it ain't gonna happen.. the SoC is likely not able to compute it, with the bigger sensor, as the HDR was also 30fps locked on the Air2 with its smaller sensor. Thx for the vid.. informative for users on what does what. but whoever told you about the 800 ISO, was likely not thinking about Air2 or Air2S for that matter and out the box footage.. you need to go a tad higher. 3200 or even 6400 which could be useful on the Air2.. not least if you willing to run the footage thrue a denoiser..and then you can mix it up with lensfilters in regards to the scene. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmxnsrJ9j9DelKg.html
