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 Ryze Tello*.

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 Ryze Tello? 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 DJI Air 2S* performs better in maximum flight speed. It manages up to 68,4 km/h in horizontal flight. For the DJI Ryze Tello, the maximum flight speed in horizontal is up to 28,8 km/h.

Flight performance also includes flight time and possible distance. In good weather conditions, the DJI Air 2S manages up to 31 minutes, which is better than the DJI Ryze Tello, which manages up to 13 minutes. The maximum distance is mostly related to the flight duration. Here, the DJI Air 2S is ahead with a maximum distance of up to 18 km with one battery charge. For the DJI Ryze Tello it is up to 0 km.

Many drones offer a removable battery for more flight performance. This is also the case with the DJI Air 2S and DJI Ryze Tello. 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 Ryze Tello, which drone can fly higher? The DJI Air 2S can climb up to 5000 m in height. The DJI Ryze Tello can handle up to 9 m. This allows the DJI Air 2S to handle more. 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?

There are drones that have a mode for automatic following. In this mode, the drones automatically fly after moving objects. This can be practical at sporting events. However, neither of the drones in this comparison offer this mode.

Which drone has better viedo performance?

Let's start at the resolution. In comparison, the DJI Air 2S* here with 5472 x 3078 @ 30fps offers a higher resolution than the DJI Ryze Tello. This has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 @ 30fps 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. This is where the two drones differ. Only the DJI Air 2S gives you the ability to shoot video at 24 fps.

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:

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. This is where the drones differ. Only the DJI Air 2S offers you the possibility for FPV.

Motion control makes the experience with VR goggles even more exciting. You only get this option with the DJI Air 2S.

Compare storage capacity

.

The internal memory of the two drones differs and is larger for the DJI Air 2S with 8 GB. The DJI Ryze Tello has an internal memory of 0 GB. However, the internal memory is not normally used for saving photos and videos.

More relevant is the memory card slot, which is however only present on the DJI Air 2S. A disadvantage of the DJI Ryze Tello.
