From ALOT Of testing and research I “think” the definitive answer is, “not really,”lol!
I owned an
air 2 and
mini 2, using one controller was great! Especially since I’m mountaineering in the middle of no where. One less thing to carry! Only need that one controller And a quick easy pairing made both drones work with it no problem. Then I killed the
air2 so naturally I replaced it with the
air 2s, better camera and using the same batteries I already had was a no brainer. Plus, I could still use both drones on one controller, NOT, exactly.
Here’s why. The
mini 2 and the
air 2s are not on the same version of occusynch. It is still possible to use that same controller with both
mini 2 and
Air 2s BUT, you do have to install a quick firmware update So the
mini 2 occusynch 2 is updated to the new occusynch 3 that is used by the
air2S. So, if you are totally sure you have an internet connection to install the 1minute update, then Yes, you can still use both drones with one Rc unit If you can do that firmware update. If, like me, you are out in the middle of nowhere, then No, you won’t have internet access to do the update and you have to carry 2 Rc units, one with occusynch 2 firmware for the
mini 2 and one with occusynch 3 for the
air2S. Suck for me! But I will say this, in my experience occusynch 3 is quite a bit better and I’ve never lost a link, I can not say that for occusynch 2. There you have it, a long answer to a simple question. . .
