Conclusion

This being the only camera drone I’ve had the pleasure to use, I won’t make any definitive statements with regards to its abilities in comparison to other drones. With that said, I’ve found the DJI Air 2S to be an incredibly fun tool that has opened up photographic capabilities and opportunities I never had before. Over the nearly 6 months I’ve been using it, I’ve flown over 47 miles in 62 flights, while taking over 1,000 photos. It has been incredibly reliable throughout that time, with no crashes or failures. The camera quality isn’t perfect, but it is very good overall, especially given the price. This is a good 1″ sensor camera with an incredibly stable gimbal, and a maneuverable, reliable and fun to fly aircraft attached to it. That all of this can be had for $1,000 is simply incredible to me. It’s become a major tool in my photographic arsenal, and I’ve just had a lot of fun with it. Highly recommended.
