DJI has launched a new flying suit of the Air 2S drone in China. The new smooth flying suit comes with an RC remote control and has a more expensive price tag than its predecessor. The new package comes with an RC remote control in place of the previous RC-N1 remote. The new remote control has a 5.5-inch display.

The more expansive controller for the Air 2S flying suit means that users do not need an extra smartphone and they can have greater image clarity via the controller even in direct sunlight. The package for the flying suit includes a battery butler, shoulder bag, ND mirror set, and three intelligent flight batteries. Other useful accessories are offered with the DJI Air 2S flying suit.

The Air 2S drone entered the industry back in April 2021 and is equipped with a 1-inch image sensor. It offers 5.4K/ 30fps and 4K/ 60fps video shooting. The new DJI Air 2S has upper, front, and rear obstacle avoidance capabilities. It has a built-in ADS-B receiver and it can automatically react when a manned aircraft appears in the nearby airspace.

The enhanced safety capability of the Air 2S provides a more seamless flight performance. Four dual-band antennas, adaptive 2.4GHz//5.8GHz provide the transmission capability of the Air 2S. It has a maximum image transmission distance of 12km and a maximum resolution of 1080 pixels. The Air 2S flying suit has a flight time of 31 minutes on a single charge.

The DJI Air 2S flying suit is available in China at a retail price of 9,399 yuan (~$1,287). It can be purchased from retail platforms like JD.com, while its global availability is unclear at this time.

DJI has officially unveiled its latest drone, the Air 2S, which is the successor of the Mavic Air 2 that was launched last year and was well-received. The DJI Air 2S offers greater depth with its camera, reflecting an overall improvement from its predecessor.

In terms of the specifications, DJI Air 2S features a better and larger 1-inch CMOS sensor and more outstanding resolution capabilities. The one-inch sensor offers significantly higher 2.4μm pixels, which is better than the 0.5-inch sensor on the Mavic Air 2, and its 0.8μm pixels. A bigger sensor implies that the Air 2S can capture up to 5.4K quality, far better than the Mavic Air 2.

The Air 2s weighs marginally higher than the Mavic Air 2, powered by a 3,500mAh battery which can sustain the device for about 31 minutes. Due to it being heavier by about 25g compared to the Mavic Air 2, the Air 2S has a marginally lower in-flight duration than the Air 2 that can work for 33 minutes.

Apart from its two sides, the DJI Air 2S drone can avoid obstacles when going up or down and forward or backward. With the industry-standard OcuSync featured in the device, the gadget has a maximum control range of 12km – slightly more than the Air 2.
There are a few other capabilities like the MasterShot, which can help you get more powerful shots.

The DJI Air 2S is already on sale on DJI’s official website. The product starts at $999 for the base package containing the drone, the battery, two pairs of propellers, and the DJI RC-N1 controller.

DJI has been known to be working on a new drone for a while, and now, a new leak has revealed the supposed renders of the upcoming Air 2S drone along with a few key specs.

According to a TechnikNews report, the Air 2S from the popular drone maker a features 20 megapixel shooter, which is an improvement from the 12 megapixel sensor that can be found in the previously launched Mavic Air 2. Notably, the Air 2S does not carry the ‘Mavic’ branding and was spotted in certain certification listings as well. So it is unknown if it is a direct successor or a new refresh of the Mavic Air 2.

The upcoming drone will also weigh 600 grams, which is about 30 grams heavier than its predecessor. Furthermore, the company is also including the 10 bit color space into the camera, meaning, the camera is capable of capturing over a billion colors. Similarly, the Air 2S will also support “Intelligent HDR,” which “automatically combines several recordings in order to increase the dynamic range of images without post-processing.”

Other features include the support for hyperlapse and a panorama function. Looking at the renders, the drone also features a total of four rotors and is apparently capable of reaching a maximum speed of up to 19 meters per second (about 68 kilometers per hour), which is the same as the Mavic Air 2. It also rated to operate in a maximum altitude of 6,000 meters above sea level. Just like the Mavic Air 2, the Air 2S also houses 8GB of onboard storage. Another new addition includes “Master Shots,” which has the drone perform ten different maneuvers of a subject and make short recordings.

This will be supplemented by the company’s “Spotlight 2.0” and “Point of Interest 3.0” along with the “ActiveTrack 4.0.” Additionally, the DJI Air 2S will also be upgraded to autopilot version 4.0. This would allow it to detect objects in all four directions and avoid them. The drone is expected to be powered by a 3,500mAh battery, which had been first confirmed in a previous FCC listing. While the exact pricing and launch date are unknown, it is expected to be around 800 Euros (roughly 950 US Dollars) and could be announced sometime this month.
