Just as @silverfox682 says, it needs to have something unique for me to add it to my collection. It will probably be a very capable drone and a suitable upgrade for a current Mavic Mini owner.

DJI AirSense (ADS-B) has been dropped from the EU model of the Mavic Air 2 
But it will be present in the North America version

I was about to pull the trigger on a pre-order, but have just discovered this as part of my research. To make matters worse, DJI are blaming it on supply chain issues - diverting all AirSense capable models to the US market for the time being.
So we are being asked to pay the same price as the US model (in real terms more), for something which has with a significant chipset missing and de-valued sell on?
I think Iāll leave my money where it is for the moment.

Yup 
So really, you just have to decide if you want 4K at 60fps

Things I like ā¦
- the camera has been improved, contrary to earlier reading
- longer flight time
- heavier which potentially makes it more stable
Things I donāt like ā¦
- price is still a killer especially as there are unlikely to be any trade in deals
- its still fugly
Things Iām baffled by ā¦
- why offer Occusync and 10k distance when max Iām pretty much āallowedā to go to is 500m.
If I had won the lottery Iād buy it but then again, if Iād won the lottery I wouldnāt worry about price and which model, and in that case would probably buy a M2P.

Same reason people drive around in cars capable of 150mph+.
Performance is a big selling point.
Just seen this too. No2 on a google search for Mavic Air 2!
So does this mean that no DJI Drones will be legal in the UK after 2022 ?
Sure I get that, but still

TBH I thought other countries were worse from what little I read. But then I donāt go looking for this info either so Iām most likely wrong.

I posted this on the DJI Forum and am wondering if the mods there will take down this thread 
But as it affects us here in the UK so much, it needs a little more shouting.
Donātā get me wrong; I still canāt wait to get the Air 2 but for us UK fliers, we need to be fully aware of these little missing featuresā¦
(And the Grey Arrows gets a full on plug in this one!
Cheers, Ian
I think itās no secret how much I love most DJI products but I am fairly disappointed to say the least that two significant features are missing for the entire European market from the new Air 2.
AirSense was promised on all >250gm drones for 2020 yet DJIās latest drone is only offering this in the USA initially on the Air 2, meaning early buyers in Europe will miss out on this hardware ( and therefore not ever get it via a firmware update).
Even more annoyingly is the lack of CE certification for the new Air 2. This is required for all European countries including the UK from later this year and after a 2 year transition period, all old unclassified drones will remain āunclassifiedā and only be able to be flown in A3 category areas (ie 150 metres from any built up areas). The CAA are very clear that existing unclassified models CANNOT be retrospectively classified, so there is no scope for āgetting the right sticker issued laterā.
So whilst I still think the new Air 2 will be an incredible bit of kit, I think early European buyers need to be aware of these issues. For some it may be a deal-breakerā¦
Hereās my thoughts

Good work Ian. I think so many buyers for this will not be reading these forums, and will have no idea what they are missing out on. Theyāll just be looking at the camera spec and comparing against the Mavic 2s and thinking it looks good value for money.
I really canāt see why this doesnāt have C-class marking, there seems to be a huge disconnect between what EASA are specifying and what the market is supplying. Personally, I canāt see how Iād even consider getting a new drone right now without it being CE-marked to the new C-classes. Luckily Iāve no cash so itās not a problem this year!
