DJI Air 2S vs Mavic Air 2 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take a closer look at the two DJI brand drones in comparison and take a closer look at the differences between the Air 2S* and Mavic Air 2*.
Which drone has better flight performance?
When it comes to a drone, flight performance, among other things, is a very interesting and important topic. Which drone is faster? Can the DJI Air 2S fly longer than the DJI Mavic Air 2? Let's compare the flight performance. Let's take a look at the flight performance of the drones. The manufacturers' values here refer to good weather conditions. If there is a lot of wind, the performance may be lower.
The maximum flying speed in the horizontal does not differ between the two models. The DJI Air 2S and DJI Mavic Air 2 both manage up to 68,4 km/h here.
In addition to the speed in horizontal flight, the maximum speeds in climb and descent are also of interest. The data here is given in meters per second. Not in kilometers per hour.
Compared to the DJI Mavic Air 2, the DJI Air 2S* wins in climb speed. It manages up to 6,0 m/s². The DJI Mavic Air 2 manages up to 4,0 m/s² in the climb.
The descent is faster for the DJI Air 2S* with up to 6,0 m/s². The DJI Mavic Air 2 can thereby be up to 3,0 m/s².
Flight performance also includes flight time and possible distance. Up to 34 minutes is achieved by the DJI Mavic Air 2 in good weather conditions. Thus, the drone performs better than the DJI Air 2S in disem point. The DJI Air 2S manages up to 31 minutes. The maximum possible distance is mostly related to the flight duration. On one battery charge, both drones can travel 18 km each.
Many drones offer a removable battery for more flight performance. This is also the case with the DJI Air 2S and DJI Mavic Air 2. For both drones, the battery can be removed and replaced. To take advantage, you usually have to buy another battery. Most of the time, the packages are called "Fly More." For the change, you have to land your drone in between, of course. Thus, the performance does not increase in one piece.
DJI Air 2S or DJI Mavic Air 2, which drone can fly higher? There is no difference between the two drones here. Both can soar up to 5000 m. However, what a drone can do and what is allowed are different issues. Legally, there are regulations on how high a drone can fly, depending on the area. Here you should inform yourself before each use.
What drone can follow you?
Both the DJI Air 2S* and the DJI Mavic Air 2* have an intelligent flight mode. In this mode, the drone can automatically follow moving objects. For example, when playing sports, this can be interesting.
Which drone has better viedo performance?
Let's start at the resolution. Of course, depending on your usage, it makes sense that you look at the complete list of resolutions.
In the film industry, 24 fps is still used for theatrical films. Even though this is a lower value, it is popularly used in cinematography. Both drones from the comparison can shoot videos at 24 fps. However, here you always have to check the context of the resolution.
Furthermore, the bitrate of the videos is still relevant. Here, the DJI Air 2S* performs better with up to 150 Mbit/s. The value for the DJI Mavic Air 2 is 120 Mbit/s.
Which drone takes the better photos?
In addition to video resolution, photo resolution is also an important point when comparing drones.
Not only the resolution is interesting for the photo function. The functions for photos are also not always the same for drones. Let's take a look at the functions in a brief comparison:
- Both: HDR function, Panorama, Continuous shooting, RAW photo format, Wide Angle
- Only DJI Air 2S*: -
- Only DJI Mavic Air 2*: -
Can the drones do FPV?
First, let's briefly clarify the question: what is FPV anyway? FPV stands for "first person view." Here you can see everything from the drone's point of view. The whole thing is even more fun with VR goggles. You can enjoy the FPV function with the DJI Air 2S as well as the DJI Mavic Air 2.
For both drones, there is the option to control with motion controls. This makes the experience even more exciting with VR goggles.
Compare storage capacity
.The internal memory for both drones is 8 GB. However, for most drones, this is not used to store photos and videos.
Much more important is the memory card slot, which is available on both drones.
