El esperado y rumoreado DJI Air 2S acaba de aparecer en una tienda de Best Buy durante el fin de semana, días antes de su lanzamiento oficial.

El próximo dron de DJI fue descubierto en un Best Buy local por un estudiante de piloto de drones, según informa DroneXL.

El comprador estadounidense no lo pudo comprar pero se las arregló para tomar un par de fotos de la caja modelo Fly More Combo (bajo estas líneas),  que aparentemente estaba a la venta por $1.299.

No es la primera vez que vemos un dron de DJI aparece en una tienda de Best Buy antes de su anuncio oficial: lo mismo ocurrió con el DJI Mini 2 el año pasado. Quizás DJI necesite reforzar los embargos a sus socios minoristas o quizás esto es parte de una estrategia de marketing viral previa al lanzamiento.

Las fotos filtradas parecen confirmar que el dron tendrá un sensor CMOS de 1 pulgada y ADS-B, que es una función de seguridad que avisa a los pilotos de drones de la presencia de aviones cercanos.

El diseño y el controlador del Air 2S también parecen prácticamente idénticos a los del DJI Mavic Air 2. La única diferencia importante parece ser la inclusión de dos sensores de obstáculos orientados hacia arriba en la parte delantera. Podrían ayudar al dron a navegar automáticamente a mayor velocidad.

Vuela fuerte

La filtración encaja con los recientes rumores sobre el DJI Air 2S.

Si el precio de 1.299 dólares del DJI Air 2S edición Fly More Combo es correcto, el dron será significativamente más caro que el DJI Mavic Air 2. Un paquete similar para este último — que incluye extras como dos baterías adicionales y una mochila especial — cuesta actualmente 988 dólares.

La razón principal es probablemente el nuevo sensor de 1 pulgada. Este sensor es significativamente más grande que el chip de 1/2 pulgada del DJI Mavic Air 2 y daría al Air 2S muchas más sensibilidad en condiciones de poca luz, lo que sería una ventaja para el rango dinámico de la imagen.

De hecho, cada vez parece más probable que el DJI Air 2S no sea un dron de gama media como el Mavic Air 2, sino media-alta, combinando la capacidad de grabación del DJI Mavic 2 Pro (que cuesta 1.599 dólares) con un tamaño más pequeño.
