Anybody excited for Air 2S?

[dronekilleremir]

We've had the Mavic Air 2, Mini 2, and DJI FPV all in a span of one year. The Mavic Air 2S is on the horizon and may even have an April release. When is the point where you'll have too many drones? Even the richest people I know upgrade phones once a year. I think that DJI drones are great but c'mon, does anyone really spend thousands of dollars collecting drones? Personally speaking, from someone who has the original Mavic Air and Mini 2, do you think that the Air 2S would ALSO be worth getting and should I keep my other drones if I do get this thing?

If you still fly the older drones then keep them but If you no longer fly them sell then.
After I got the M2P it didn’t take me long to realise the MP had not flown so I sold it, I bought it used & got all my money back

I'm looking forward to the new air 2s because I was about to buy air 2 and I've decided to wait. I'll leave in April!

I pulled the trigger on an Air 2 because I doubt the Air 2S will be compliant with Category 2 standards and will likely be a couple hundred bucks more than the Air 2. I plan to use the Air 2 until a Category 2 model comes out with a decent camera. Then I will reassess what might be the best tool for the job.

A nice option over the existing Air 2 for anyone in serious need of an upgrade, but probably not for someone like myself with an existing Air 2. Having a nice range of capabilities already, I will also be waiting until I can get something with built in compliance for the ID laws.

Had I known the 2S was coming, I would’ve waited - I got my Air 2 when it was a winter blah-scape where I live, so it’s not like I would’ve missed many good filming opportunities, but it had t quite leaked yet. But I’m not at all disappointed with what I have.

sell the Air 2 and get the FPV drone. BEST drone on the planet! I love it. Then wait for either Air 2S or Mavic 3. Air 2S will have Ocusync 3 so it will work with the FPV drone v2 Goggles as well!

"Excited?" I get excited by my wonderful/beautiful wife and the "other" wonderful/beautiful woman inn our family. But a drone? No It's a tool. We were "pleased" when DJI came out with the Phantom Pro 4 Plus because this was the first drone that ticked all of our professional requirements - but not "excited".

from one stimulus check to another, DJI has it covered!

No

I just purchased the Air2 with Smart Controller package. I’m wondering if I should have waited for the Air2S???

I read somewhere that the the MA2 will just be incrementally better. Nothing earth shattering. I am content with the MA2 and the Mini2 that I have. Maybe in a couple of years I'll get a new one. But it has to have cruise control and heated seats.

For what it is, the FPV seems great and well liked. For myself, portability/fold down size is more important than maneuverability and goggle compatibility, so I think the Air 2 is the one for me, but not because there’s anything inherently wrong with the FPV.

I suspect, if I feel the need for another drone in the future, it’ll be the top of the line Mavic (or whatever it’s called at that time, atop the consumer level offerings), after Remote ID is built in, and hopefully with better active track, and who knows what else!

Got MA2 a month ago, and I am very happy, I will at least kill my 3 batteries. Maybe by then I will have exhausted my requirements by then, I doubt it though...also just started doing missions, got a lot to do!!

I will happily admit to kissing a drone on one occasion - our P4P+. It was during an assignment in the USA and we'd been in one location for three days. We succeeded in getting great footage and great stills. I knew this before seeing it and "excitedly" kissed the drone on landing.

To be crystal, it's not the drone but what you do with it.

Well the MA2s has some nice features, but considering I just bought the MA2 FlyMore and it does all I need it to do...
I'm not going to sell it (at a loss) and run and buy the MA2s. The little extras it adds aren't going to make a diff for me.
20MP camera isn't going to show the pics I take any better (especially after they get dumbed down for media posting) and having sensors on top... well I don't do hell bent sport more much so not much use to me.
No, I'm gonna keep my MA2 (also have an MA1). I'll wait for the next BIG leap to throw my money at DJI. ;-)

True. I remember being excited with my 3 ex-wives. ??‍ I don’t want another wife but I wouldn’t mind the new air2 when it arrives lol. Godspeed

The obstacle avoidance sensors are turned off in SPORT mode anyway.

Wear a mask when kissing the drone. Just sayin’. Godspeed
