DJI Air 2S Parts, Accessories and Upgrades

DJI recently brought the new AIR 2S on the market, a stunning new drone for photographers that demand the highest quality. Naturally there are some parts, accessories and possible upgrades available as well, and not all of them are directly from DJI.

We ‘ve already explained that there are 2 different remote controllers for this drone, the regular DJI remote controller and the new DJI Smart Controller, so for more about this, please check out the main article about the DJI Air 2S.

Protection:

Both you drone and remote controller can use some protection, so DJI has a set of Propeller Guards available to make sure the props don’t get damaged in challenging terrain.

If you should damage the propellers, there is always the possibility to buy and install new props, DJI offers Low-Noise propellers with white or yellow tips for only $9.99 a pair (beware that your drone needs 4 of course).

There are alternatives available on Amazon like these Carbon Fibre props, they are a bit stronger and also Noise-Reducing for $25.99 per set of 4.

An interesting problem that drone pilots often face is the lack of a clear landing area, I myself have used flat rocks, the roof of my car or even a cycling road as a safe flat clear place to take off and land, however sometimes it is difficult to find a good spot. The solution is to carry your own landing platform with you! There is a simple easy to use foldable platform available on Amazon that you can carry in any backpack and open when needed on the spot, lay it over snow, grass, gravel or any uneven or dirty surface to give your drone a nice clean place to take off and land, and afterwards you just was hit with water, it even has 4 corner holes so you could use pins to anchor it down. It costs 19.99 USD.

Another landing pad is available for 16.99 USD on Amazon and this one is very different from the previous one (1st link above). This is a plastic landing pad, it can be used for all kinds of model helicopters and drones, easy to assemble, you can personalise it with pre-printed stickers. The advantage of this landing pad is that it houses a 9V battery in the base that powers the built-in LED lights, perfect for evening and nighttime flights. The design of this pad is so that it interlocks, so if you buy 4 of them you can create your own giant landing pad and use more LED lights for your drone to safely return home.

Another possibility is this extra landing gear for $15.99. The design of the Air 2S and all others in the Mavic series is such that the drone is very low on its feet, so the body will almost tough the ground when landing on a flat surface, making it even more difficult when landing on slightly uneven surfaces. This extra landing gear reduces that risk by raising the drones landing height and is also equipped with LED lights for added safety and visibility during flight and landing, especially at night!

But why not go one step further? Did you ever land a drone on water?

An added feature is the possibility to attach a second camera on top of the drone, you can attach a GoPro or DJI Osmo Action on the top if you like. The complete set is available for $25.99.

Now there is still one more problem, what to do when it all goes wrong anyway? Bye bye drone?
