I’m a newbie droner. Just purchased one from a friend. It came with 3 batteries, controller, charger, cables, & drone for $275…friend discount. I’m loving this drone and I only had it 2 days. I have a great friend too.

I agree the MA2 is still a good drone and does a great job. It’s too bad that it’s overshadowed by the newer drones.
@SebastianDylag Жыл бұрын
It definitely is overshadowed by new drones like the Mini 3 Pro or Mavic 3, but I think for those that want a cheaper option, or already have it... Than the MA2 is great ! 😄
@dame5014 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I have the MA2 and I love it, but I don't have the newer ones (like the "Mini" series) I'm sure if I did then, I would like them as well, but I don't and I'm perfectly fine with that. Plus the extra weight is good for me as it can endure stronger winds
@patriottexan Жыл бұрын
It's not too bad it's overshadowed, because you can get it dirt cheap. Just picked up a like new MA2 fly more combo for $475 and absolutely love it.

We bought a used Mavic Air 2 a few months ago and it’s become a great back up for my needs! We also had it for such a good deal, pretty much brand new yet it was 480 pound. Whenever I run out of batteries and I need to fly again, I know which drone’s going up lol.

I've bought the Mavic Air 2 for a second time. First time was brand new with the release back in the days. Now I've bought it as good as new, with only 5 charging cycles, 3 batteries included + 1 batterie brand new, ND filters, car charger etc. for only 400 bucks. The only Mini I've had in consideration was the Mini 3 as a Pro-version, but it is nearly double the price and a couple of things less in the package compared to the Mavic Air 2 deal I've made. The reason for why I came back ? The Air 2 is so stable in the air, even under more challenging conditions. Still small enough for traveling. All the good flight modes included, great speed for action sports, good photo and video-quality, onboard 8GB of space (it saved me in the past a couple of times). So I'm happy to have it back in my line up.

I truly believe it's one of their best offerings so far and now for the money they're a steal. I've had mine well over 2 years it has a ton of miles and flights on it and never had a single glitch. During the height of the chip shortage DJI was having trouble with the newer models even hitting the landing pad. I have never missed a pad landing. I do the 30 foot hover for a few seconds and then send it, it never misses. I'll fly mine until parts availability says it time to retire. Great vid !
@SebastianDylag Жыл бұрын

Between Apple and DJI, I find myself being blackmailed into buying a new iPad and a new iPhone so I can continue to use the drone. You are quite right about the Mavic Air 2 - it is a great drone.

Thanks for this review. I have had my Mavic Air 2 ever since and just before the Air 2S came out. Still love it very much even though I fly my Mini 3 Pro more these days. I have considered parting with it because of Remote ID becoming mandatory this fall and it will need an attached ID device in order to legally fly it! That sickens me because if DJI can include it in the firmware for the Air 2S, why not the Air 2?? I do not want to "buy" that device! I have already invested so much money and accessories for the Air 2 and I am done with that. Thanks for sharing.

It all depends on the budget. Air 2 can be found for cheaper. Still has a great camera setup with flight characteristics. Mini 4 Pro has new tech, so will have advantages and also it's under 250 grams, so that's a big plus. It also has true vertical shooting which is nice to have for social media and photos.
