I’ve got the air 2s it’s v good can fly in strong winds over the waves which the mini is not capable of
I don’t think I’d listen to negative reviews. I’ve had the air 2S for almost 2 years. It is my main photography drone. I recently started a business after becoming certified. I also have a Mavic 3T for thermal, mapping and inspection work.
In my opinion, the 2S is still a very difficult drone to beat for the money. The 1 inch sensor/low light performance is excellent. There are a ton of aftermarket accessories, including ribbon cables for adding batteries for extended flight time. It’s lightweight and very portable. Pair it with a smart controller of some kind and you’ve really got some thing. I use the RC pro but originally had the smart controller. The 2S has occusync 3 with the right remote. It makes a major difference.
My only minor criticisms are flight time, prop noise and no zoom on still photos. But unless you want to spend a lot more, that’s where things are.
I think buying here in Mavic pilots classified is the best way to go if you are looking used.
DJI air2s (refurb @ DJI) $679 with bat. and rc-n1....cant tell its not new.
I have both as well. I don't use the M3P with the plus battery though, as I want to keep it under 250g. I wouldn't call the Air 2S battery life exactly "abysmal", just not "great". I get about 20 minutes per battery.I have an Air 2s and a Mini 3 Pro. If I could keep only one, I'd take the Mini. The absolute abysmal battery life of the Air 2s is a real downer. I get about 17 minutes before I get nervous and bring her back with 15%, Mini will fly almost twice as long with the "plus" battery.

I have four charged batteries at all times. Plus I can mobile charge. Also, I use a a ribbon cable from StsrtRC and can add an extra 3s lipo 2200mah.I fly the Air 2s and have 3 fully charged batteries with me always. If my flight time uses up 1 battery, I land, swap out the batteries and resume my flight. Theoretically, I can safely fly for an hour this way.
Do you not have more than one battery?
See my response above. Do you not have more than one battery for the Air 2s? I'm with you on getting nervous but more like @ 20%. Having multiple batteries allows me to not worry so much and enjoy the "longer" flight times.I have an Air 2s and a Mini 3 Pro. If I could keep only one, I'd take the Mini.
