DJI Air 2S is a compact, foldable camera drone that pairs a 1‑inch 20 MP CMOS sensor with DJI’s O3 (OcuSync 3.0) transmission for creator‑grade imaging and reliable control in a travel‑ready body. It records up to 5.4K/30fps or 4K/60fps at 150 Mbps, offers MasterShots and FocusTrack (ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, POI 3.0), and adds four‑direction obstacle sensing with APAS 4.0, ADS‑B AirSense, and enhanced RTH for safer flights. Rated for up to 31 minutes of flight time, Air 2S delivers a stabilized 1080p/30 live view and up to 12 km (FCC) transmission range for confident capture on the go.

Advantages

  • Large 1‑inch sensor in a midsized airframe delivers strong detail and low‑light performance for the class.
  • Records 5.4K/30 and 4K/60 with 10‑bit D‑Log/HLG for flexible grading workflows.
  • O3 transmission provides robust 1080p/30 live view and long‑range link (up to 12 km FCC) with low latency.
  • Four‑direction obstacle sensing plus APAS 4.0 increases safety and helps navigate complex scenes.
  • MasterShots, FocusTrack, QuickShots, and Hyperlapse streamline cinematic capture with minimal setup.
  • ADS‑B AirSense warnings and enhanced RTH add situational awareness and fail‑safe behavior.

Disadvantages

  • Fixed f/2.8 aperture (no variable aperture), so exposure often relies on shutter/ISO or ND filters.
  • No lateral (left/right) obstacle sensors.
  • Digital zoom is disabled in 10‑bit and 120 fps modes.
  • Up to 31‑minute max flight time; extended shoots typically need spare batteries.
  • 8 GB internal storage is very limited; microSD is effectively required for longer sessions.
