The max speed on sport mode on the Mini 2 is 16m/s though it is much slower in regular mode ( 10 m/s). Obviously, due to its lighter weight, there’s less wind resistance but I still find it impressive and it makes it really fun to fly as you need to react quickly. One thing I wanted to discuss in this article is that how well the Mini 2 actually keeps up with the Air 2S. The flight time on both the DJI Air 2S and the Mini 2 is 31 minutes. Nevertheless, for the price is still offers one of the best pictures I’ve seen for a drone in that price range, even if it doesn’t meet the high standards of the Air 2S. The DJI Air 2S drone, alongside a standard color profile, offers 10-bit Dlog color profiles and HDR video whereas the Mini 2 only offers a standard color profile. The difference in color profiles, however, is pretty big. There’s a slight background blur but it’s not too noticeable unless you zoom right in. The DJI Air 2S shoots at what would be the equivalent of a 22mm focal length and the Mini 2 is equivalent to a 24mm focal length.īoth the DJI Air 2S and the Mini 2 have a set aperture of f2.8 which provides a reasonable focus when the subject is around 1m away.

I also like that on the Air 2S, there’s a little less crop than there is on the Mini 2 when filming in 4k. Nevertheless, this is still impressive considering the drone’s size and would suit a lot of drone pilots. Whereas, the Mini 2’s max video resolution is 4k 30fps. The Air 2S can take 20MP shots whilst the Mini 2 takes 12MP pictures.Īdditionally, the DJI Air 2S shoots video in 5.4k at 30fps, 4k at 60fps, and FHD at 120fps. The Mini 2 has the popular 1/2.3inch CMOS sensor which is the same one that’s used the Mavic Air 2. This means the images are crisper, sharper, and have a lot of information in the highlights and shadows which is great if you like to spend your time editing your footage in Lightroom or Premiere Pro. The DJI Air 2S has a 1-inch CMOS camera sensor which allows you to capture high-quality images that retain a lot of data. Of course, the camera on the DJI Mini 2 is much smaller than the camera on the DJI Air 2S.

Nevertheless, if you’re wanting to buy the lightest drone you can without compromising too much on quality, then the Mini 2 wins hands down. Having said that, the Air 2S still packs away easily into a small carry case and is smaller than the Mavic 2 and slightly smaller than the Mavic Air 2. The DJI Air 2S is 180×97×77 mm when folded and 183×253×77 mm unfolded so it is a lot larger. The DJI Mini 2 measures just 138×81×58 mm when folded and 159×203×56 mm when it’s unfolded.

The DJI Air 2S weighs 595g, while the Mini 2 has been designed with maximum portability in mind at just 249g (and staying below the 250g threshold for registration with the FAA). So which features make it so much cheaper in comparison? Whereas, the DJI Mini 2 is currently less than half the price at just $449. Zoom recording is not available while recording 10-bit videos and 120fps videos.įirstly, let’s discuss the price difference. Supports a microSD with a capacity of up to 256 GB

But how does it compare to other popular drones from DJI? DJI has launched the DJI Air 2S this week and it’s packed with a tonne of great new features.
