Don’t stop smoothin’
Fresh from last month’s fly-by-wire thrills with the DJI FPV, Sam Kieldsen swaps to something a little more sedate that’s engineered to capture ultra-stable content

The included charger takes around 80mins to fill up a depleted battery, so maybe pack a spare.
The camera is fantastic for a drone this size, turning out super-sharp photos and videos with stunning colour depth
DAY 01
DJI’s status as overlord of the consumer drone world is pretty much unchallenged, but there’s no sign of laurel-resting from the Chinese company.
This is the Air 2S, a souped-up version of the Mavic Air 2 that’s the same shape and size, but drops the ‘Mavic’ while upgrading the camera, obstacle-avoidance systems and transmission range. At £130 more than the Mavic Air 2, we’ve got two weeks of capturing videos and snapping photos to decide whether this is a worthwhile upgrade.
