Buy the Basic A2’s and use my all my MA2 fly more stuff to save $ ?

[crash3x]

I really like my MA2, but I would also like to take advantage of the larger camera sensor of the A2’s in low light conditions.
Since the upgrades are definitely good, not amazing in my opinion though, I’m thinking to just buy the basic A2’s setup and use my MA2 fly more combo stuff I already have; batteries, charging hub cables etc. I also have the smart controller. I spoke to DJI and they said everything is cross compatible, even the propellers!
Thoughts on this? I need help to decide this one! Thanks!

Good plan

That’s what I did.

Ditto here. Bought the base A2S and will use my existing batteries as spares. Already listed the MA2 with one battery for sale (-:

As the camera is different will the ND filters fit?

No the MA2 filters will not fit because of the bigger camera

Thanks for all help & the input, I made my mind up, I’m going for it✔

I just watched a video comparison of MA2 and A2s using Smart Controller with both. SC did NOT work that well with A2s. I will not upgrade until SC functions well with A2s.

I bought the A2S fly more kit, because I'll let the grandkids fly the A2.
You'll like the new camera

I have the MA2 fly more combo myself,and would love to get the Air2s for the camera,and my batteries and props would work with the new drone.
But my wife would probably skin me alive right now,lol.
As i just bought a Tripltek tablet for my controller,which works great.
Happy flying.

I would like to suggest that even the most astute SWMBO will be severely challenged to ascertain the difference between an MA2 and an MA2s. In my house, as long as the motorcycle is red,SWMBO pays no attention. AFASIC, all drones are the same as they gray. No guts, no glory. ?

That's what I did and I'm not selling my MA2 since I like it a lot. It's going to stay as my back up. There could be situations where I'd rather fly the older drone and not risk my better drone. Also there are some features the MA2 is slightly better than the A2S and I could want to use them. Either way all of my props and batteries carry are interchangable and so is my drone bag. I had no need to have bought the fly more combo.
