- What's going on, everyone?
Welcome to a new video, I'm Jenna.
And today, we we're gonna be unboxing and testing out
the DJI Air 2S.
Now the Air 2 has been my go-to drone for the past year.
It has been my absolute favorite
out of all of the drones that I have owned.
And I was like,
"How are they gonna possibly make it better?"
So we're gonna find out, let's unbox it.
Now this one is the Fly More Combo.
This is the smallest, lightest, and most intelligent
1-inch sensor camera drone available in the market.
The DJI Air 2S is as compact and lightweight
as the previous generation.
It does have a 1-inch sensor,
it's capable of doing 5.4K HD videos,
obstacle sensing in four directions,
and a number of intelligent features
such as MasterShots.
Right off the bat, it does have a pretty similar look
to the previous generation.
So in the Air 2S Combo pack,
you do get the aircraft remote control,
three batteries,
a charging hub battery to power bank adapter,
the travel bag,
power adapter,
AC power cable,
RC cable times three,
USB cable,
ND filters set,
spare propellers,
spare controller sticks as well as the manuals.
Now, I will say the one thing I really didn't like
about the upgrade of the controller is,
yes, it has longer battery life which is nice,
and it is a comfortable hold,
but personally, I just feel like it's too big.
Here is where you will then insert your phone.
And it took me a really long time last time to realize
that the cord for the iPhone was already in there.
And when you're ready to use it, you just screw in.
For the video transmission system we have O3
which is renamed from the OcuSync 3.0.
It also has four antennas.
For the flight time,
you're gonna get 31 minutes for battery.
For the new functions, we now have MasterShots,
Spotlight 2.0, Active Track 4.0,
as well as APAS 4.0.
For the max resolution, we have 5.4K, 30 frames per second
4K, 60 frames per second.
We have a max photo resolution of 20 megapixels.
This does weigh 595 grams.
And we have some ND filters.
This is exciting.
Looks like we have 4, 8, 16, and 32.
For the low ND filter, this is gonna be good
for the precise adjustment of shutter speed.
So this will also keep the shutter open at 180
to create that cinematic footage with the dynamic blur.
One of the reasons I do usually like
to get the Fly More Combo is because more batteries,
and also you get this nice little adapter
which lets you charge everything at once.
I wanna do a little comparison
to the Mavic Air 2 real quick.
I really like that the S has the orange on the propellers.
These are very similar in size.
The S does weigh 595 grams,
whereas the Air 2 weighs 570 grams.
So we're gonna go take this out in the real world,
put it up in the air,
and see just exactly what this baby can do.
Okay, we have made it to basically the only place
my sister and I fly drones.
Although, today it's just me.
And it's great because there's no one here.
As soon as I got here, I saw dolphins
and I tried to send the drone out and find them,
and I couldn't find them.
The ocean is a very big place and it was very bright.
All right, let's see what type of ND filter we should use.
I actually forgot one for my camera
because I'm a professional.
Right, we have 4, 8, 16, 32.
Oh goodness, which one are we gonna stick on?
I guess we start with the 4, see how it goes.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, let's switch out ND filters and batteries.
All right, right now we have on the 8 ND filter.
(bright upbeat music)
We are now going to do the 16.
(indistinct) I still can't get the dolphins.
The dolphins keep coming back and I can't get them.
Not meant to be.
(bright upbeat music)
I think I went through three or four batteries.
I'm honestly not sure, been out here for a very long time.
And my controller is still at full battery, which is wild.
I literally am out at the harshest time of the day for sun
but I'm excited to see what the ND filters look like.
It's actually my first time
ever using an ND filter on a drone.
I don't know why, it's just, I never bothered with it,
but I know it's gonna make a huge difference.
The dolphins are still out there, they're like taunting me.
But you know what?
I hope they're having a peaceful swim.
Okay, let's pack up,
and (indistinct) the traffic and head home.
The past five days that I have gone somewhere to fly a drone
it has been cloudy and then potentially would start to rain.
The sun is about to set.
It actually, I'm not even sure it's out,
it's a little cloudy.
Just gonna fly the drones and see what happens.
Look at her getting a head start.
(bright soft music)
Would be like an okay sunset.
Overall, I really haven't had a chance
to fully test out everything that this drone can do.
Every time I tried to go out,
it was rainy or it was cloudy or there are so many people.
The problem with Los Angeles is there's not many places
where you're actually able to fly.
That makes things a little bit difficult.
But I 100%, I'm going to be having this as my main drone.
Having a 31 minute battery is really nice.
Also with the Combo pack, I now have three batteries.
Something that isn't new, but I've been finally utilizing
is the little button, the Cine button.
It gives you that more cinematic, slower motion
so that you're able to capture the smooth drone shots
which is really, really nice.
And then I put it into Sports mode
when I'm like "You gotta come home."
Top five favorite features of the new drone.
This is cosmetic, but I really liked the orange tips.
1-inch sensor, you can tell a huge difference
in the quality and obviously it's been a lot of a,
more low light that I've been shooting in
because it's, there's no sun.
And then when there was sun,
I had the ND filters that I could easily swap out.
So that's three.
I also really enjoyed testing out Active Track 4.0.
I wanted to do like a really, you know,
action packed chase of me on a bike or in a car.
But I actually filmed the entire video myself.
So I wouldn't recommend doing that by yourself
and flying the drone,
but I did do a quick little section
where I was just walking up and back down
the rocks in Palos Verdes.
The Active Track definitely is one of my favorite features.
I also think that that doesn't record in the 5.4K.
So I think that does record 4K, not a big deal.
MasterShots, I only did one of them, but it was perfect.
The MasterShots will basically record a few minutes
of different scenes and different angles,
and it'll just kinda make content for you.
(upbeat music)
So that's really what I enjoy, less work for me.
Definitely gonna be using this a lot more
and hopefully, going to some cool places to test it out.
There's gonna be a link in the description
if you want to check all of the different
prices and options.
Anything you wanna say, Jus?
Anything you enjoyed about the drone?
- I think it was just kinds fun to go back
and fly a cinematic drone again,
because I've been flying a lot of FPV recently.
So it was really fun to kinda get those smooth shots
and really the fact that
you have the upgraded 5.7K is great.
I love some added resolution.
- Oh, it's nice.
The 1-inch sensor 'cause I've never
actually had the 1-inch sensor before.
- No, you haven't 'cause it was in the Pro.
- And then the Mavic Air 2 only had a half-inch sensor.
- Yeah, but that thing was amazing.
- I know, it's really nice.
- [Justin] This is pretty impressive.
- Yeah, it is actually really good.
So there's definitely some like minor upgrades,
but they're very noticeable.
Anyway, guys, make sure you subscribe,
hit the bell if that's even a thing,
and go check out Justin's video as well.
I'm excited to see it.
And I'll see you guys again soon for new video.
This is my new favorite drone.
2021 just the year of travel.
Vacs life.
- Vacs life, we live in!
- Boom.
