But it can capture 5MP pictures and 720p resolution video at 4Mbps. It offers a couple of auto modes, including return-to-home, tap-to-fly, orbit mode and follow but nothing particularly advanced as it only features a GPS sensor.Īt just under £100, the Tello doesn’t include GPS or a fancy camera. When it is steady and the light is good, the footage looks crisp.

Thanks to some basic electronic image stabilisation 1080p video will deliver the steadiest footage. But with no gimbal stabilisation the video footage is at the mercy of wind resistance. Photographs of landscapes and shorelines look pleasant captured by the Spry+ and will definitely enhance any holiday photo album. The camera is limited to upward/downward tilting and captures 12MP stills with 4K/30p video. The camera setup on the Spry+ 4K isn’t particularly advanced. But given its USP, it was likely conceived that the Spry+ would be used close to the shore or a boat. Once it starts to pass 700m in distance from the remote control the video feed starts to get patchy. But for that reason it also doesn’t offer much in terms of range.

So there’s no need to pair it with a smartphone and it can also be used with FPV goggles via a 5.8G 8CH connection.īeing sealed from water, dust and sand it’s the perfect drone for beach dwellers and fans of water activities such as paddle boarding or canoeing. The same applies for its remote controller, which features a built-in screen. The SwellPro Spry+ (£979) is specifically designed to be buoyant and also features a corrosion resistant construction. You’d assume that any kind of water would be the death of a drone, especially sea water, but not this one. This Spry+ also benefits from being one of the most unique consumer camera drones on the market.

However it’s around 7mm smaller in height when folded and with a total weight of 595g, it’s compact and portable enough to join you on any trip. This comprehensive list of upgrades combine to add 25g to the weight of the Mavic Air 2S over the Mavic Air 2. The higher resolution video capability of the Mavic Air 2S also means that this drone can digitally zoom up to 4x when shooting 4K/30p video and up to 6x when shooting 2.7K/30p video.

These features make it possible to shoot professional quality footage with greater flexibility for colour grading in post. There’s a slight crop on 4K/60p video, but it offers a higher bitrate of 150Mbps over the 120Mbps bitrate of its predecessor. It can also be used to shoot up to 5.4K resolution video at up to 30fps, as well as 4K/60p video. Stills can be captured in HDR, JPEG and RAW formats. This comes in the form of a 20-megapixel 1-inch CMOS sensor, with a 22mm equivalent f2.8 lens. The drone’s camera system has also received a significant upgrade.

Owners of the Mavic Air 2 who are considering an upgrade will be pleased to learn that the Air 2S accepts the same batteries. In windy conditions, the Mavic Air 2S can still produce stable video, however this will result in slightly reduced flight times. Although there are few circumstances where you might operate the drone at such distances, the increased range bolsters the quality and stability of the video feed within typical operating ranges (line of sight). Its batteries will now give you roughly 30 minutes of flight time and DJI Ocusync 3.0 increases its transmission range from 6km to 8km. The range and flight time of the Mavic Air 2S gives pilots greater freedom to explore. It also features an updated version of DJI ActiveTrack 4.0, which allows you to select and track a subject, whether they’re driving, running, walking or even swimming. This new mode is designed to help even the most novice of drone pilots to capture and automatically create cinematic 1080p content to share on social media. DJI drones are famed for their automated flying modes and the Mavic Air 2S raises the bar further with the addition of new feature MasterShots.
