Customers are enthusiastic about the Air 2S Fly More Combo Drone's camera quality and ease of use, frequently praising its impressive features and capabilities. Many also appreciate its compact size and good battery life, although some wish for longer flight times and additional sensors. A few users noted the drone's high price point as a drawback, and some experienced challenges with wind resistance. Overall, the positive feedback on image quality and user-friendliness outweighs the concerns.
I got a DJI Mini 2 drone in early 2021, and absolutely loved it for aerial photos and video. I loved it so much that I wanted to take it up a notch, and the Air 2S fit the bill. Compared to the Mini 2, the Air 2S is similar, but a little larger and heftier (but not so much that it won't still fit in my backpack). What it adds is more than just a little size and weight, however: A better camera with a larger sensor and sturdier gimbal, obstacle avoidance sensors for a little more peace of mind while flying, and more Active Track modes (like a true subject follow mode). The extra heft also makes it a bit steadier in wind. So far, the quality of photos and videos I get from it do have that extra bit of clarity and dynamic range I expected. It uses the exact same remote and app as the Mini 2, so no learning curve there (apart from getting to know the new intelligent flight modes). On the negative side, since this is a heavier drone, it does require registration with the FAA to be flown in the US. But that's a quick and easy online process and only costs five bucks, nothing to be afraid of. Secondly, since it's a heavier drone it requires a larger and heavier battery, which still doesn't provide much additional flight time over the Mini 2. It also can't be charged via USB like the Mini 2, something to keep in mind for extended excursions--there are aftermarket car chargers available, at least. Lastly, its larger size does make this a louder drone than the Mini 2. With the Mini 2, it was practically inaudible once up to 100 feet or so, which is nice for trying to remain stealthy. The Air 2S I can still hear pretty clearly in relatively quiet environments. I did get a set of Master Airscrew Stealth props, which do make it a bit lower-pitched if not actually more quiet. All in all, I can highly recommend the Air 2S for newcomers, or for those looking to take the next step from a Mini or older-gen drone. I'd certainly recommend springing for the Fly More Combo as well--the case alone is very nice for storage and portability, and the extra batteries are crucial for a day out with the drone.

I had surgery 10 days ago and have gotten a lot of fly time from my balcony this thing can do anything It shoots the best video 5.4 k at 30 frames per second and 4K and 60 frames per second and 1080p in 120 frames per second it at a thousand feet shoots video or pictures crystal clear and look amazing when you show them on your OLED Samsung flat screen TV. I highly recommend these, if you're in the market for one the DJI is the way to go The air2s has a little bit shorter flight time because it's a little bit heavier than the mavic I believe but 30 minutes on one battery and you get three batteries so that's an hour and a half flat time and while you're using the second battery you can charge the first one and you can keep cycling through them so you could fly all day if you wanted to. The thing will go over 40 mph with a distance of 7 mi it also will go 3 mi high in the air although I haven't gotten it that high I don't really need to be that high in the air. This thing is great I probably already said that it's super awesome I love it I wish I would have bought one a long time ago

Definitely buy the Fly More Combo vs. the Air 2S alone. You'll need all three batteries if you do any serious photo work. The 3-battery charger, ND filter pack, extra cables and props make the value even better. The soft shell carry case is a nice touch, although I use a hardshell case. Flying performance - The endurance is about 25 minutes in hover. Range is completely acceptable for prosumer work and even pro work. Top end in sport mode is about 40mph. Hover stability for stills is great, even in a pretty stiff wind. Can't say enough about what a great drone this is for the money. The new 1 inch camera is stellar and honestly unbelievable at this price point. This is my second camera drone and first Mavic/DJI. I am completely happy with this purchase. I've had it about 2 weeks and have already gotten fantastic video and stills from it. What are you waiting for? Go get one!
