I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

【MASTERSHOTS】The next evolution of QuickShots, MasterShots is an advanced intelligent feature that gives users the best shots in any location with just a tap.

【THE CENTER OF ATTENTION】FocusTrack features Spotlight 2.0, ActiveTrack 4.0, and Point of Interest 3.0, making it a breeze for DJI Air 2S to follow or circle your subject. Max Service Ceiling Above Sea Level: 5000 m

【ONE BILLION COLORS】The 10-bit Dlog-M color profile can record up to one billion colors while retaining all the little details that make footage pop.

【7.5 MILES MAX VIDEO TRANSMISSION】DJI Air 2S features DJI's most advanced O3 (OcuSync 3.0) image transmission technology, giving you an ultra-smooth, clear, and reliable image feed every time you fly.

【ENVIRONMENT SENSING】DJI Air 2S has the ability to perceive its environment in four directions: up, down, forward, and backward, allowing it to actively avoid obstacles, even in complex scenarios and at high speeds.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: It has a specific routine it goes through when it loses signal. The first thing it will do is just stop and wait for a better signal. After a few seconds if it fails to find the controller it will retrace its steps for a few seconds until it finds the controller. If it still fails to find that controller, it will run the go-home command - it will ascend to a pre-determined altitude (by you) and then fly straight to the home point and land.

Hi there, the Max Flight Time (no wind) of DJI Air 2S is 31 minutes. Thanks.

Yes. I use 12.9" iPad Pro 2017 (second gen) with the DJI Fly App. The bigger display works great. I use a longer cable so the iPad can stand on a table, while I hand-hold just the controller.

It's more like 22 minutes to be reasonable. I don't get why they advertise 31 minutes when the actual flight time is anywhere from 22 to 25 minutes in perfect conditions. If you were flying the thing a few feet off the ground in a climate-controlled stadium, maybe you can get 31 minutes, but this isn't typical flight. What they say is flight time is the time it takes to turn it on, connect to the controller, check for the communist geofencing clearance, fly to your goal, fly back, and land. It will force-land at certain battery percentages depending on altitude, and it judges all of this based on the "Normal Mode", so if it takes 20 seconds to get to the ground in sport mode, it's going to force-land at 40 seconds if that's how long it would take in normal mode because it will default into normal mode when force landing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it have ability to come back home automatically in case if gets disconnected fro remote device ?

How long is the flight time?

Hi there, the Max Flight Time (no wind) of DJI Air 2S is 31 minutes. Thanks.

Can I use an iPad instead on my cellphone for bigger screen purposes?

Yes. I use 12.9" iPad Pro 2017 (second gen) with the DJI Fly App. The bigger display works great. I use a longer cable so the iPad can stand on a table, while I hand hold just the controller.

Is the 31 minutes of flight time for each battery or 31 minutes total using the 3 batteries?

It's more like 22 minutes to be reasonable. I don't get why they advertise 31 minutes when the actual flight time is anywhere from 22 to 25 minutes in perfect conditions.If you were flying the thing a few feet off the ground in a climate controlled stadium, maybe you can get 31 minutes but this isn't typical flight.What they say is flight time is the time it takes to turn it on, connect to the controller, check for the communist geofencing clearance, fly to your goal, fly back, and land.
