The DJI Mavic Air 2S has some tangible benefits over its predecessor, including a much larger image sensor.
As noted by its simple « S » designation, this isn’t a total rethink of the Mavic Air 2, which has already proven itself to be a competent flyer for beginners and experienced pilots alike (read the HotHardware review here). However, it does bring a few crucial improvements that make an already great drone even better. The first upgrade comes with the camera, which moves from a 1/2 sensor to a larger 1-inch sensor. With this camera upgrade, DJI says that the Mavic Air 2S can capture 20MP still images and up to 5.4K video at 30fps. If you want to shoot at the more standard-fare resolution of 4K, you can hit 60fps (with a maximum bitrate of 150Mbps). Digital zoom options top out at 8x with 1080p 30fps video and 4x with 4K video (30fps).
