DJI Air 2S review: the ultimate camera drone – and a T3 Award winner

The DJI Air 2S is a true game-changer, excelling in portability and features, and enabling you to shoot hi-res video and stills like a real pro. Here's our review

Sensational camera and shoots in 5.4K ; Four-sided obstacle avoidance ; Light and compact to carry ; Quiet in flight

Licensing is a bit complicated

The new DJI Air 2S is a sensational camera drone in every respect, from the quality of its ungraded camera to the plethora of advanced in-flight features. If you’re in the market for an affordable compact drone that flies beautifully and shoots...

DJI Air 2S review

The DJI Air 2S packs a serious punch thanks to its 1-inch sensor – it's now the best drone for most people.

1-inch 20 MP sensor Great image quality Small and lightweight

Controller isn’t foldable Image edges slightly soft No adjustable aperture

By combining the DJI Mavic Air 2's compact design and the Mavic 2 Pro's image quality, the Air 2S is now the best all-round drone you can buy. It delivers several new features over the Mavic Air 2, including a large 20MP 1-inch sensor and digital zoom,...

DJI Air 2S review: Take flight

DJI's portable drone packs a serious punch. Read all about it in this comprehensive review.

1-inch sensor offers super pictures ; Advanced obstacle avoidance ; Portable and easy to carry around ; Great battery life ; ND filters in the Fly More combo are a nice touch

Rolling shutter effect is quite bad when moving quickly ; 4K/60 crops heavily into frame ; QuickShot shoots at Full HD ; It's not exactly cheap

The previous Air 2 sought to bring high-end features into a smaller form factor - and the Air 2S ups the ante further. Its 1-inch sensor offers great stills photography, while video capabilities outshine some more expensive drones.

DJI Air 2S

The Air 2S is just worth the price rise over the Mavic Air 2 if you'll use its new capabilities such as shooting 10-bit video.

DJI Air 2S Review: Superb results without the work

It's less than a year since the DJI Mavic Air 2 was released, but the DJI Air 2S makes a bold statement in being the best all-around drone in the market.

Captures sharp images ; Strong details from its 5.4K video ; Pro level clips with Mastershots ; Fun and safe to fly

Camera can sometimes hunt for focus

DJI Air 2S Review

1-inch sensor camera ; Video at up to 5.4K quality ; Robust safety features ; Obstacle detection and avoidance ; Automated camera shots ; HDR, Log, and Standard video profiles ; AirSense transponder ; Half-hour flight time

Doesn't offer in-camera filtered looks ; 8GB internal storage isn't much ; Remote doesn't include EV control wheel ; App-based editing limited to 1080p output ; HDR HLG workflow for pros only ; Raw images don't transfer to smartphones and tablets...

The DJI Air 2S is a small folding drone with a premium 1-inch sensor camera, 5.4K video, and a number of automated flight and safety features, making it a pro-minded alternative to the more affordable Mavic Air 2.
