Buying call

Buy the Mavic Air 2 only if you find one cheap and want a capable older drone: reviewers praised its superlative battery life, strong 4K/60 video and stills, nimble flight, obstacle detection, automated shots, AI tracking and a comfortable controller. Skip it if you want a current model, because the Air 2S and Air 3 series improved on it. It lacks side and top sensors, video profiles are limited, and the camera feed sometimes stutters.
