You don’t need a brand-new drone to get great photos and videos. The Air 2S still holds up.

Thinking of buying a used Air 2S. I’m upgrading from a Neo. Worth it?

Definitely! The Air 2S handles wind way better than the Mini 3 Pro.

That’s what I’ve heard! Plus, with 5.2K, I can crop in during editing for a ‘zoom’ effect.

True, but the Mini 3 Pro has vertical shooting and doesn’t require registration. Still, I’d say the Air 2S is the better option.

I’ve tried a bunch of drones, but I keep coming back to my Air 2S. The photo quality is top-notch, it handles wind like a champ, and with a few mods, it gets the job done every time.

Yep, I chose the Air 2S over the Mini 2 and have zero regrets!

I had a Mini 2, but it flew away because of weak wind resistance. The Air 2S is so much better.

Good to know… I’ve got a Mini 2 arriving today.

Mini 2 is still a solid choice, but watch out for strong winds since it’s a lightweight drone.

You’re spot on with that!

Where’s the best place to find used drones?

I was thinking of getting the Mini 3 Pro, but this thread has me reconsidering. Is the Air 2S still a better choice?

The Air 2S is better for most situations, especially in windy conditions.

I just got one, and I love it!

Totally agree! I have both the Air 2S and a 1080Ti. The Air 2S is still amazing for photos, and the 1080Ti has served me well over the years, though I’m looking to upgrade my PC soon.

That’s a great comparison!

Hey, that’s my comment! Lol

The Air 2S was amazing, but the telephoto on the Air 3/3S is a game-changer.
