Reviews

From 2 reviews, as of 2026-08-31 — not a DroneIQ flight test

Air 2 is the 1/2-inch 48 MP 4K/60 O2 Air at 570 g: front/back/down sensing, APAS 3.0, 34 minutes, 8 GB internal. Heliguy’s Air 2S launch split is the map — Air 2S added the 1-inch sensor, 5.4K and O3; the packs do not swap. Versus Air 2S you would notice the 1-inch wide and O3, not the folded bag. RC-N1 flies both.

  • Heliguy: 1-inch and 5.4K vs Air 2; packs do not swap
  • DPReview: Air 2S as the 1-inch step on from Air 2

Questions

Do I need to register the Air 2 in the UK?

Air 2 is unmarked, takeoff about 570 g (570 g with battery. No class mark. Not Air 2S.). In the UK a Flyer ID is required from 100 g, and an Operator ID is required from 100 g with a camera or from 250 g — this airframe needs both. This is not legal advice; read the CAA Drone Code for the airframe and battery you actually fly. Longer version: the UK Open explainer on this site (/guides/uk).

How far from people can I fly the Air 2 in the UK?

Air 2 (unmarked): A3 Far from People. No class mark. CAA legacy weight table: 50 m from uninvolved people; 150 m from built-up areas. No overflight. A2 only with an A2 CofC. Flyer ID + Operator ID. Open height is 120 m AGL. Never over crowds. This is not legal advice — the CAA Drone Code (March 2026) applies to the airframe and battery you actually fly. Longer version: the UK Open explainer on this site (/guides/uk).

Which controller or headset flies the Air 2?

DJI RC-N1 (Phone clamp, O2 / O3). A matching OcuSync generation is not enough — firmware on a used RC still has to list this airframe. Full matrix on the Gear page.
