Can someone explain what these are and how they are different, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the two? Thanks in adVance.
 
Air mode allows the props to spin at a predetermined RPM ( can set in Beta Flight ) when at 0 throttle thus eliminating dead props during high speed maneuvers.

I have mine set to a function sw on the Taranis, so once armed I can switch on air mode when I want it.
 
I see Mr steels video and he uses idle up because he doesn't want the bounce that come with airmode. How does idle up and airmode differ?
 
Idle up differs in that it is controlled by a switch. When you normally go to zero throttle, PIDs are disabled but with idle up activated, you still have all stick control. That is how Steele and others do those cool slo-mo floaty inverted manoeuvres
