#21 No, not really since the drone has been out for like 3 days.. and there are not that many out there, considering shipping times are weeks or months. Many of the reviewers that DJI sent out beta units to probably are not going to jump on long range flights.. someone will probably do it eventually.. Some of the YouTube reviewers have had the mini 3 pro for months. Just search on YouTube. I've seen at least 20 to 30 reviews. No range test though. #22 Likely because all the early recipients know they need to be careful and can't see to be breaking the law by doing such tests. They'll have a list of terms and conditions and expected standards to sign up do before they get their drone. #23 Wow. really sucks. My old mini 1 could do better than that. #24 Another test confirms issue with weak signal at 1,5 km shame I won't buy it #25 Some of the YouTube reviewers have had the mini 3 pro for months. Just search on YouTube. I've seen at least 20 to 30 reviews. No range test though. I am well aware of how long some reviewers have had the Mini 3.. Most of those are probably not going to do some sort of long range distance test for various reasons.. They are starting to show up of course, and it will take more than one channel's distance test to get a feel for the effective range of the Mini 3, and it will probably vary depending on whether your using the DJI RC or the RC-N1 controller. So the tester should have both and use both to compare. I suspect the DJI RC will not have the same range as the RC-N1.. But for most flights, I think the potential convenience of having the DJI RC will have enough range to get the job done. #26 Appauling range from mini 3 Appalling or appealing? As DJI is going safe with the 249 g design I might bet, they also intentionally lowered the range by incorporating the anntenae into the body. There are way too many people just not obeying the rules and/or throw common sense into the bin beyond a reasonable VLOS. And lower range is not the same as signal strength or quality of connection which might be still without a hitch. I guess, we have to wait a bit more for more tests and some ironed out bugs in the firmware. #27 Another test confirms issue with weak signal at 1,5 km shame I won't buy it If all you're concerned about is how far beyond VLOS you can fly. then you will need other options probably, however , its going to take more testing than one YT channel I think to determine the reasonable range of the Mini 3. #28 If all you're concerned about is how far beyond VLOS you can fly. then you will need other options probably, however , its going to take more testing than one YT channel I think to determine the reasonable range of the Mini 3. Signal Transmission Ranges (FCC) [6] Strong Interference (urban landscape): Approx. km Medium Interference (suburban landscape): Approx. 3-7 km Low Interference (suburb/seaside): Approx. 7-12 km According to specs about it should be more then enough..like Mini 2 maybe the problem only exists with DJI controller not with N1 controller We will wait and see furthers tests. If i have to look for other options , then i regretted selling my mavic pro 1 #29 Signal Transmission Ranges (FCC) [6] Strong Interference (urban landscape): Approx. km Medium Interference (suburban landscape): Approx. 3-7 km Low Interference (suburb/seaside): Approx. 7-12 km According to specs about it shoud be more then enough maybe the problem only exists with DJI controller not with N1 controller We will wait and see furthers test . If i have to look for other options , then i regret selling my mavic pro 1 It still boils down to, how far do you really need to fly? Sure your old Mavic Pro was a good drone, an aging one, but a good one.. Every model has strengths and weaknesses... I think I would prefer a drone that does great photography and doesn't need to fly 2-4-5, ,more KM or MI, beyond ones ability to see it, let alone recover, if something goes wrong. I think the Mini 3 Pro based on what I've seen does a great job in low light, overall video, and photos... An Air 2s may still be a little bit better, but its close, even in comparisons to the Mavic 3, I think the Mini 3 compares relatively well in that regard... #30 It still boils down to, how far do you really need to fly?

I mean the range test is very poor compared to mini 2 . i like to fly long range distances far away from cities and people in the landscape. When DJI wrote 7-12km max , it must have exactly this performance Otherwise i don't want spent 800 $ for something like fake drone #31 I mean the range test is very poor compared to mini 2 . i like to fly long range distances far away from cities and people in the landscape. When DJI wrote 7-12km max , it must have exactly this performance Otherwise i don't want spent 800 $ for something like fake drone DJI reports things based on optimal conditions which are not always really achievable in reality for a host of reasons. If you like to fly long range and get into potential trouble for flying beyond VLOS, thats your call.. However I think the jury is still out and there are probably more software updates coming that may optimize things., time will tell.. You say you don't want to spend $800 for a fake drone, but you'll spend $500-600 for the Mini 2, with far less optimal video and photo capability. So I guess your far more worried about range than what the drone is intended for.. Guess we'll see how it goes, course now were maybe waiting for the Air 3 or the Air 3s.. or whatever is next and what will it do better? ... there are just certain limitations for every model, the actual range of most of them is about the same if your a safe pilot., however, , some models are better than others, and perhaps the new RC has limits because of its design, or a software update will come along and it will improve. Time will tell. #32 I guess, we have to wait a bit more for more tests and some ironed out bugs in the firmware. What firmware bugs have been identified? #33 Philip Bloom states in his review (which is really worth the time, it is very different to your standard drone review) that he did not observe much difference in range between the DJI RC and the RC-N1. This is written on-screen from about 35:16 in his review: I guess that could mean the somewhat limited range (as of now, at least) is down to the drone itself, more than the controller. #34 I think drone flyers are interested in the longest distance capability, just for the heck of it .... but on the practical side...,, I think a short-range capability more likely implies risk of interference or broken signals in short distances. That is worrisome. Especially, for that price range and with compeitition from other brands (autel). #35 What firmware bugs have been identified? Coming from some of the reviews, there have been reports of the drone dropping altitude in forward/rear flight, slightly but constantly. There are always bugs (not necessarily severe) and I guess we will likely hear of some when the Mini 3 Pro really hits the shelfs. #36 Anyone seen this one? But I don't understand the language. At 4:10, it seems to indicate it reached 5km?? not sure what controller he was using at the time and the height (around 3km????) Last edited: May 17, 2022 #38 Once i get hold of ours ill do some EVLOS testing. The issue i have is that my EVLOS rating lets me fly outbto 80% of the links range. Without testing to the limit, its hard to list 80% of that limit in our documentation. I may be able to use the DJI listed specs for initial testing #39 Anyone seen this one? But I don't understand the language. At 4:10, it seems to indicate it reached 5km?? not sure what controller he was using at the time and the height (around 3km????) I kind of understood some of what he was saying, both controllers about equal no difference. Only he mentions second controller has less bars (signal strength) beyond 5000 meters but still good signal as first controller. From what I was seeing, second test did show less bars at 5000 meters plus compared to first test at 5700 meters, but as he turned the drone around for return bars increased. My view, Was a close comparison with both controllers. Could have gone either way, maybe a slight improvement on signal on his first flight test. I still didn’t catch which controller he was using for each test though, I’ll need to watch the entire video, only watched a small portion here and there. Overall, both test were good. #40 Anyone seen this one? But I don't understand the language. At 4:10, it seems to indicate it reached 5km?? not sure what controller he was using at the time and the height (around 3km????) Tested at almost 3000m altitude (the limit for the large batteries) 1st test, standard battery and DJI RC: 5830m (battery limit) 2nd test, large battery and standard controller: 5319m (signal limit, and still 45% battery left when landed) He could have gone a bit further, but he didn't want to risk too much. He says both controllers started to have poor signal at the same distance. It is interesting that in the second flight the drone was moving sideways (instead of straight forward) for no reason, so he switched of "lateral flight" option, and then it was fine.

DJI a présenté cette semaine le Mavic Air 2, son nouveau produit phare, un drone de photo et vidéo aérienne polyvalent, convenant autant aux télépilotes débutants qu'aux plus expérimentés. Nous avons pu le tester en avant-première malgré le confinement. Crédit : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Vendu à partir de 850 euros, le DJI Mavic Air 2 remplace le Mavic Air original et complète la nouvelle gamme Mavic, à mi-chemin entre le Mavic Mini (à partir de 400 euros) et les Mavic 2 Zoom et Mavic 2 Pro (à partir de 1250 euros). Comme nous l’avons écrit dans notre article de présentation, le Mavic Air 2 est davantage un Mavic 2 allégé et simplifié qu’une mise à jour du Mavic Air 1. 9 /10 Un Mavic 2 allégé Ce nouveau quadricoptère pliable reprend les lignes et la conception des Mavic 2 : on le déplie de la même manière et les capteurs communs sont au même endroit. S’il est significativement plus petit et léger que les Mavic 2, il est aussi sensiblement plus grand et lourd que son prédécesseur, comme le montre le tableau ci-contre. Il reste toutefois bien en dessous du seuil de 800 grammes à partir duquel la législation européenne exige déclaration et formation. Nous vous conseillons néanmoins de suivre la formation en ligne, qui donne les bases pour voler en sécurité. Pour compenser, la capacité de sa batterie amovible passe de 27 à 40 Wh (+50 %), et l’autonomie augmente encore davantage, de 21 à 34 min (+60 %). En pratique, on peut voler un peu plus de 25 min en conservant une marge de sécurité. La recharge dure quant à elle 90 min. Si l’autonomie augmente davantage que la capacité de la batterie malgré l’augmentation du poids, c’est notamment grâce à des hélices optimisées, avec lesquelles il fait un bourdonnement plus sourd et moins désagréable que son prédécesseur. Le nouveau Mavic Air bénéficie aussi de la conception plus robuste des Mavic 2 : ses hélices, sa coque et sa nacelle en plastique ont ainsi résisté à une chute d’une dizaine de mètres suite à un accrochage avec un arbre. Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Radiocommande agrandie, application simplifiée Le Mavic Air 2 s’accompagne en revanche d’une toute nouvelle radiocommande et pour la plupart des utilisateurs d’une nouvelle application. La nouvelle « RC » est plus grande et plus lourde car elle renferme désormais deux batteries de 2600 mAh, ce qui lui permet d’alimenter le smartphone et d’éviter de renoncer à un vol car ce dernier serait à plat. Cette télécommande passe aussi et surtout du Wi-Fi à la technologie maison OcuSync pour la liaison avec le drone. En raison du confinement nous n’avons pas pu tester la liaison à longue portée (6 km revendiqués), mais nous pouvons témoigner que nous n’avons pas constaté le moindre gel d’image ou le moindre artefact lors d’un essai aux quatre coins d’une propriété privée boisée de plusieurs hectares, y compris lorsque la maison séparait le drone de la télécommande. On utilise toujours un smartphone en complément de la radiocommande pour le retour vidéo et accéder à la plupart des fonctions. On ne le fixe plus sous la télécommande entre deux poignées pliables, mais au-dessus dans une pince escamotable intégrant les antennes. La prise en main est plus naturelle et plus confortable, à défaut d’être aussi équilibrée qu’autrefois, surtout avec un smartphone comme un Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Des câbles USB-C vers USB-C, micro-USB et Lightning sont fournis. En plus des deux sticks (amovibles, pour faciliter le transport), la radiocommande intègre la molette d’inclinaison de la nacelle, un seul déclencheur photo/vidéo, un bouton de commutation photo/vidéo, un bouton personnalisable, un bouton RTH (*return to home*, retour automatique au point de départ) et un commutateur de mode de vol. Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Toutes les autres fonctions sont accessibles via le smartphone. Le Mavic Air 2 passe d’ailleurs de l’application DJI GO 4 des Mavic 2 et du Mavic Air 1 à la nouvelle application DJI Fly inaugurée par le Mavic Mini. Celle-ci est plus simple, plus lisible, et à ce titre plus adaptée aux débutants. Malheureusement, elle n’est pas encore parfaitement adaptée aux nouveautés du Mavic Air 2 : certains textes débordent ou sont tronqués (« Mode nor… »), on trouve encore des traces de chinois ou d’anglais, et certaines fonctions sont difficiles à trouver (rien n’incite à faire défiler les modes de prise de vue pour découvrir la fonction panoramiques). DJI devrait s’inspirer des applications FreeFlight de Parrot, plus élégantes et plus soignées. Soulignons au passage que les applications de DJI n’affichent toujours pas la carte officielle des restrictions pour drones de loisir en France. Il faut toujours vérifier les zones autorisées et les plafonds de vol définis par la DGAC sur le site Géoportail, malheureusement pas optimisé pour mobile, ou sur des applications tierces telles que Drone Spot. Un pilotage facile Pour autant, le DJI Mavic Air 2 est facile à piloter. Il décolle d’une pression longue sur un bouton à l’écran puis vole en stationnaire avec une précision de l’ordre de 10 cm à basse altitude, assisté de capteurs de positionnement visuels et de temps de vol (ToF), et de l’ordre de 50 cm à mesure qu’on monte à 60 m d’altitude, avec le positionnement par satellite (GPS et Glonass, mais pas Galileo). Avec la configuration « Mode 2 » par défaut, on actionne alors le stick de gauche pour monter ou descendre et pivoter vers la gauche ou la droite, le stick de droite pour avancer ou reculer et se décaler vers la gauche ou la droite. Avec le mode de vol « normal » par défaut, la vitesse maximale du Mavic Air 2 est de 12 m/s soit 43,2 km/h en marche avant et de 4 m/s soit 14,4 km/h en montée. Les capteurs d’obstacles vers l’avant, l’arrière et le bas sont pleinement opérationnels. C’est un atout majeur par rapport au Mavic Mini qui en est dépourvu, surtout pour les débutants. Le nouveau Mavic Air est toujours dépourvu de capteurs d’obstacles latéraux et supérieurs, il faut donc rester vigilant, surtout lors des vols automatiques, ou bien utiliser les protections d’hélices, incluses dans la version Fly More ou vendues séparément. Les débutants peuvent prendre leurs marques avec le mode « Tripod », qui limite la vitesse à 5 m/s soit 18 km/h en marche avant. Ce mode sert surtout à lisser les mouvements lorsqu’on filme, incluant désormais les changements d’inclinaison de la nacelle. Le mode « sport » enfin porte la vitesse en marche avant à 19 m/s, soit 68,4 km/h. Attention aux distances de freinage, d’autant que les capteurs d’obstacles sont inopérants. Le DJI Mavic Air 2 en vol // Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Des photos et vidéos dignes d’un bon smartphone Avant de parler des multiples modes de vol automatiques, parlons des capacités photo et vidéo de cette « caméra volante ». Le DJI Mavic Air 2 embarque le même capteur que certains smartphones haut de gamme comme le OnePlus 8 ou l’Oppo Find X2, le Sony IMX586. Ce capteur de 1/2 pouce (en réalité de 8 mm de diagonale) et de 48 MP recourt à la technique du pixel binning et à la photographie computationnelle pour produire des photos de 12 mégapixels de meilleure qualité qu’avec un capteur de 12 MP. L’appareil assemble en l’occurrence des groupes de 4 photocellules (disposition Quad Bayer) et parfois plusieurs clichés pour réduire le bruit et augmenter la plage dynamique (HDR). L’objectif a une longueur focale équivalente à 24 mm, avec une mise au point fixe de 1 m jusqu’à l’infini, ce qui convient parfaitement à un drone de cette taille. L’ouverture fixe de f/2,8 méritera en revanche aux yeux de certains vidéastes exigeants l’emploi de filtres à densité neutre (ND), fournis avec la version Fly More, afin d’augmenter le temps d’obturation pour obtenir un rendu cinématographique en rétablissant du flou de mouvement. En pratique, en photo comme en vidéo, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Le tout nouveau mode SmartPhoto recourt au *deep learning* pour reconnaitre les scènes et enclencher si nécessaire les fonctions HDR (extension de la plage dynamique) ou « HyperLight » (basse lumière). Il produit des fichiers JPEG de 12 mégapixels prêts à l’emploi dignes de bons smartphones, avec une bonne plage dynamique, un renforcement de la netteté et de la saturation bien dosée. Dans les situations dans lesquelles le mode « SmartPhoto » produit un rendu artificiel, tel qu’en contrejour, on peut basculer sur le mode normal, plus naturel. Encore plus neutre, le mode 48 MP apporte une bonne dose de détails supplémentaires au prix d’une réduction sensible de la plage dynamique. On peut aussi enregistrer en RAW DNG pour obtenir la meilleure amplitude en post-traitement. Ci-dessous, vous pouvez comparer la même scène avec, de gauche à droite, la prise de vue normale, le cliché de 48 mégapixels et l’image avec le mode SmartPhoto activé. Photo de Paris avec le mode normal Photo de Paris avec le mode 48 MP Photo de Paris avec le mode SmartPhoto Même chose sur ces photos de toits ci-dessous, dans le même ordre : mode normal, mode 48 MP et SmartPhoto. Photo des toits en mode normal Photo des toits avec le mode 48 MP Photo des toits avec le mode SmartPhoto L’appareil photo propose également des fonctions rafale (3, 5 ou 7 images), bracketing (3 ou 5 images décalées de 0,7 EV), intervallomètre (2 à 60 s), et surtout des panoramas HDR, pour lesquels le drone capture automatiquement 3 à 25 images pour assembler une photo panoramique verticale ou horizontale, une photo grand angle ou une sphère complète. Le panorama vertical et le grand angle en particulier contournent efficacement l’orientation horizontale et la focale de l’appareil. Le Mavic Air 2 inaugure un mode HDR également en vidéo, jusqu’en Ultra HD 4K à 30 i/s. Celui-ci préserve efficacement les hautes lumières, mais amplifie parfois excessivement le bruit dans les ombres qu’il débouche. Il peut filmer sans HDR en 4K jusqu’à 60 i/s et en Full HD jusqu’à 240 i/s, soit des cadences deux fois supérieures à celles des Mavic 2. Les vidéastes disposent d’un mode d’exposition manuel, d’un profil colorimétrique neutre D-Cinelike et d’un enregistrement en ou en HEVC jusqu’à 120 Mb/s. Le drone le plus intelligent de DJI Ces belles capacités vidéo ne seraient rien sans de beaux mouvements de caméra. Réaliser des mouvements vidéogéniques exige un certain savoir-faire, mais les drones de DJI proposent toute une panoplie d’assistances et de manœuvres prédéfinies. Dernier né du fabricant chinois, le Mavic Air 2 est le plus complet et le plus perfectionné sur ce plan. On retrouve pour commencer tous les « QuickShots », aux noms assez explicites (Dronie, Fusée, Astéroïde, Cercle, Spirale et Boomerang), qui réalisent des manœuvres prédéfinies à partir du sujet sélectionné et génèrent des clips de quelques secondes prêts à être partagés sur les réseaux sociaux. On choisit selon les cas la longueur et le sens de rotation du vol. En l’absence de capteurs d’obstacles latéraux, il conviendra en tout cas d’être particulièrement vigilant avec les trois derniers modes. Dans le même ordre d’idée, le Mavic Air 2 propose également quatre modes « Hyperlapse » (libre, ligne droite, cercle, waypoints), qui produisent des vidéos accélérées (aussi appelées timelapse) en mouvement. Selon les cas on désigne le sujet à cadrer et on choisit l’intervalle, la vitesse, la durée, la trajectoire et le sens de rotation, puis l’appareil réalise automatiquement la manœuvre et l’assemblage des clichés. Le résultat peut être époustouflant, mais on aurait préféré paramétrer les mouvements différemment. Par exemple il faut calculer en fonction du rayon la vitesse et la durée de vol qui permettent de réaliser un tour complet. À défaut on se contentera souvent de valeurs choisies au hasard. Last but not least, le Mavic Air 2 propose plusieurs modes de suivi automatiques, rassemblés sous l’appellation FocusTrack. Le mode ActiveTrack suit automatiquement le sujet désigné. Il réalise dans sa nouvelle version des mouvements plus fluides lorsqu’il doit contourner ou lorsque le sujet passe derrière un obstacle. Le mode POI tourne mieux autour d’un sujet immobile ou en mouvement, sans qu’il faille initialement voler à l’aplomb dudit sujet. Enfin, le mode Spotlight permet de désigner un sujet sur lequel verrouiller la caméra et autour duquel voler librement. Ce dernier permet de réaliser facilement des plans extrêmement difficiles à exécuter en pilotage manuel et dignes de productions professionnelles. En raison du confinement, nous n’avons pas encore pu réaliser nos propres exemples. En attendant une mise à jour de cet article, nous vous invitons à consulter la page de présentation du Mavic Air 2 sur le site internet de DJI pour vous faire une idée du potentiel créatif de tous ces modes. Prix et disponibilité En raison de l’épidémie de Covid-19, le DJI Mavic Air 2 a été lancé dans un premier temps en Chine. Dans le reste du monde, l’ouverture officielle des précommandes est prévue pour « la seconde quinzaine de mai ». Source : Romain Heuillard pour Frandroid Comme d’habitude, il sera vendu avec une radiocommande et une seule batterie, pour 850 euros, ou bien en version Fly More, avec la radiocommande, 3 batteries, une station de recharge, 3 filtres ND, des protections d’hélices et un sac, pour 1050 euros. Le Mavic Air 2 se positionne donc à mi-chemin entre le Mavic Mini, vendu 400 à 500 euros, et les Mavic 2, vendus 1250 à 2000 euros.

In this review of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, we will take a closer look at how the drone performs for both aerial photography and videography. After testing out the Mavic Air last year, I realized just how useful compact drones have become for many creatives out there. Being able to photograph a scene from above gives a completely different perspective for a photographer, while videographers often rely on aerial footage to showcase a particular subject or a location. And being able to do all that with a drone that can fit in a regular camera bag is very important, especially for those of us who travel a lot. When DJI announced the Mavic 2 Pro last year with a 1″ sensor, I immediately knew that it was going to be a game-changer. So right before my trips to Jordan and Turkey last year, I decided to get this drone and give it a shot. I am very happy with my decision, as I came back with some truly unique images and video footage that I will showcase in this things first, check out this short video of Jordan that I captured using the Mavic 2 Pro, which will hopefully give you an idea of the drone’s possibilities:While the Mavic Air is an amazing drone for someone like me who likes to pack light when traveling, I did struggle with it when shooting in low-light conditions. With its small body footprint and a tiny 1/ sensor size, the Mavic Air doesn’t do well in low-light and windy conditions. On top of that, it does have a rather limited range which only makes it ideal for capturing subjects that are close by. When using the Mavic Air, I always try to keep it in my line of sight, as it tends to lose signal once it goes beyond the several hundred feet range. In short, it is a great daylight drone that is primarily designed for shooting close subjects in good weather for those of us that do landscape photography and explore nature in often extreme conditions, these limitations can be quite tough to work with. So being able to shoot aerial footage with a compact, yet stable drone that comes with a large sensor and has a long range has been a dream come true for many enthusiasts and professionals out there, including myself. As soon as I saw the Mavic 2 Pro announcement, I knew that this drone was going to be “the tool” for more serious aerial work. Equipped with a gimbal-stabilized Hasselblad camera that is capable of recording RAW images and 10-bit ungraded 4K video footage (D-Log, up to 100 Mbps video bitrate), as well as a high-quality adjustable aperture f/ lens (28mm full-frame equivalent), the Mavic 2 Pro has a lot to offer for a drone that only weighs 907 grams. With its folded dimensions of 214×91×84mm, it is approximately the size of a 70-200mm f/ lens, so it easily fits most standard camera bags. When it comes to pricing, the Mavic 2 Pro has an MSRP of $1,499, which is significantly more expensive than what the Mavic Air retails for at $799. However, considering the superb camera capabilities of the Mavic 2 Pro alone, it is a relatively small price to pay when you factor in the fact that large sensor drones used to cost thousands of dollars just a couple of years take a look at the most important specifications of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone and compare them to those of the Mavic + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/60, f/ of ContentsDJI Mavic 2 Pro vs DJI Mavic Air Specifications ComparisonBuild Quality and ConstructionMavic 2 “Fly More Kit”Mavic 2 Pro Controller and Transmission SignalDJI GO 4 AppFlying the DroneDJI GO 4 App SettingsBattery LifeVideo SettingsPhoto SettingsOther FeaturesImage QualityVideo QualitySummaryWhere to BuyDJI Mavic 2 Pro vs DJI Mavic Air Specifications ComparisonDrone FeatureMavic 2 ProMavic AirSensor Size and Type1” CMOS1/ CMOSSensor Resolution20 MP (5472×3648)12 MP (4056×3040)Sensor ISO Range100-6400 (video), 100-12800 (photo)100-3200 (video), 100-3200 (photo)Video Transmission SystemOcuSync ( GHz and GHz)Enhanced Wi-FiMaximum Speed72 kph (S-mode) kph (S – mode)Max Flight Time (no wind)31 minutes (at a consistent 25 kph)21 minutes (at a consistent 25 kph)Sensing SystemForward, Backward, Upward, Downward, SidesForward, Backward, DownwardController Max Transmission Distance8000m (FCC, unobstructed with zero interference)4000m (FCC, unobstructed with zero interference)Gimbal Stabilization3-axis (tilt, roll, pan)3-axis (tilt, roll, pan)Gimbal Mechanical RangeTilt: -135°-45°, Pan: -100°-100°Tilt: -100°-22°, Pan: -12°-12°Gimbal Controllable RangeTilt: -90°-30°, Pan: -75°-75°)Tilt: -90°-0° (default setting), -90°-+17° (extended)Shutter SpeedElectronic Shutter: 8-1/8000sElectronic Shutter: 8-1/8000sLensf/ 28mm FF equivalent, 77° FOVf/ max aperture, 24mm equivalent, 85° FOVStill Photography ModesSingle Shot, HDR, Burst Shooting (3/5 frames), AEB, IntervalSingle Shot, HDR, Burst Shooting (3/5/7 frames), AEB, IntervalPhoto FormatJPEG / DNG (RAW)JPEG / DNG (RAW)Video FormatMP4 / MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/ HEVC/ / MOV ( / MPEG-4 AVC)Video Resolution4K (3840×2160 @ 24/25/30p), (2688×1512 @ 24/25/30/48/50/60p), FHD (1920×1080 @ 24/25/30/48/50/60/120p)4K (3840×2160 @ 24/25/30p), (2720×1530 @ 24/25/30/48/50/60p), FHD (1920×1080 @ 24/25/30/48/50/60/120p), HD (1280×720 @ 24/25/30/48/50/60/120p)Max Video Bitrate100 Mbps100 MbpsVideo Color ModeDlog-M (10bit), Supports HDR Video (HLG 10bit)8-bitVideo FormatMP4 / MOV (MPEG-4 AVC/ HEVC/ / MOV ( / MPEG-4 AVC)Internal Storage8 GB8 GBBattery Capacity3850 mAh2375 mAhBattery Weight297g140gRemote Controller Battery3950 mAh2970 mAhSupported Memory CardsUp to 128 GB, microSD V30 RecommendedUp to 128 GB, microSD V30 RecommendedDimensions (Folded)214×91×84mm (L×W×H)168×83×49mm (L×W×H)Dimensions (Unfolded)322×242×84mm (L×W×H)168×184×64mm (L×W×H)Takeoff Weight907g430gMSRP Price$1,499 (check price)$799 (check price)As you can see, the DJI Mavic 2 Pro has a lot to offer when compared to the Mavic Air. The biggest features that truly matter in the field are sensor size, video transmission system / range, maximum flight time / battery life, lens quality and video features. The Mavic 2 Pro excels in all of these areas. The Mavic Air, on the other hand, offers a much smaller footprint at a twice lighter package and almost twice cheaper price. So these drones are not really directly comparable – the Mavic 2 Pro has a lot more features, which is why it has the “Pro” tag in its get an idea of the features and capabilities of the Mavic 2 Pro, take a look at the below promo video by DJI:Build Quality and ConstructionAs expected from DJI, the build quality of the Mavic 2 Pro is excellent. So far I have put it to use in harsh desert conditions of Jordan, cold parts of Turkey and rainy conditions of New Zealand and the drone survived it all without any issues. Thanks to all the sensors on the drone, I have not been able to crash the drone even once, but if I did, I am sure the damage would highly depend on the impact speed and the height of the fall. Both the controller and the drone feel like they have been made to last, with high quality and yet lightweight plastic + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/160, f/ it comes to the controller, the one made for the Mavic 2 Pro is much nicer compared to the one for Mavic Air. While operating the joysticks is easy on both, the Mavic 2 Pro controller has a nice display that shows all the messages and warnings, which is great. Since the release of the drone, DJI released an even better “Smart Controller” that has a built-in display. I am not sure I would buy it at its steep $649 price, but it looks like it would be a good option for those who do not want to bother having to connect their smartphone to the controller to operate it. It is specifically designed to be used outdoors with its 1000 cd/m2 LCD screen, long-lasting battery and ability to operate at extreme temperatures, and has a bunch of built-in features such as the ability to share videos and record the Mavic Air, the Mavic 2 Pro standard package does not come with a nice carrying case. However, everything else that is needed to start flying the drone (as well as extra propellers) is included in the retail box. The charger designed for the Mavic 2 Pro comes with a single extra USB slot, but there is also a detachable micro USB cable that you can use to charge up the controller. So in essence, you are not losing anything compared to the Mavic Air and actually even gaining the convenience of having the charging cable integrated into the charger. The Mavic 2 Pro only comes in gray color, so you cannot choose between different colors like you can with the cheaper + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/160, f/ 2 “Fly More Kit”If you decide to get the Mavic 2 Pro or any of its variants like “Zoom” or “Enterprise”, my recommendation would be to spend another $325 to get the “Fly More Kit“, which includes two extra batteries (so that you will have a total of three), a car charger, a charging hub that allows charging up to four batteries sequentially, a battery to power bank adapter, 2x extra pair of propellers and a shoulder bag. Considering that the battery by itself retails for $128, you are getting quite a bit of stuff for 70 charging hub is a must-have accessory if you are planning to use the drone. While it is nice to be able to fly the drone for thirty minutes, the reality is that you do not want to push the drone battery that long, especially when flying in very cold or very hot temperatures. So for that most part, you can expect to fly the drone up to 20-25 minutes on a single charge maybe, in order to have enough time to fly it back and safely land. This means that you will be going through batteries rather quickly and being able to have 3-4 fully charged batteries is going to be essential when traveling. I personally have a hard time with swapping batteries at night and I would much rather just hook everything up before going to sleep and wake up with all batteries fully charged. And that’s exactly what the charging hub is + 28mm f/ @ ISO 400, 1/25, f/ cool accessory that is part of the “Fly More Kit”, is the battery to power bank adapter. This little accessory will allow you to convert any of the drone batteries to a power bank, so that if you end up with a dead battery on your smartphone, you can simply hook it up to the battery and get your device charged up. This is a great gadget to have for a traveler, because you no longer will need to carry a separate power bank! I am happy to lose as much weight as possible off my camera bag, so this is definitely an accessory I wouldn’t want to forget at 2 Pro Controller and Transmission SignalDJI did a great job by keeping the footprint of the Mavic 2 Pro relatively small. This not only applies to the drone itself, but also to its accessories and the controller. While the controller is definitely larger and bulkier compared to the one on the Mavic Air, keep in mind that it is functionally much more capable in of all, the Mavic 2 Pro controller uses DJI’s Ocusync technology that allows transmission of signal up to 8000 meters with a clear sight of the drone, which is twice the theoretical limit of the WiFi controller on the Mavic Air. In real life environment, however, the range differences between the two are pretty drastic. When shooting in Jordan, we often had two drones in the air at the same time – the Mavic Air and the Mavic 2 Pro. The operator behind the Mavic Air got frustrated on a number of occasions, where the drone would lose signal at relatively close ranges, while the Mavic 2 Pro kept on going without any issues. If you review the footage of the Jordan video one more time, you will see panning shots of Wadi Rum landscapes that I did at long 3-4+ kilometer distances. I think the longest range I flew with the drone was the canyon scene, where I flew the drone until the footage on my screen got very blurry and I decided to pull back. My primary concern at the time wasn’t really the range, but rather the battery life of the drone for the return trip. I can’t remember the exact distance before I pulled back, but it was certainly far enough to push the limit of the drone transmission + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/120, f/ in mind that the range highly depends on the overall visibility of the drone. When I shot a scene in Capaddocia (Turkey), there was a point at which the drone flew over a small hill and then under, and since I didn’t have direct line of sight of the drone, the signal went very weak and I started losing the video feed. The distance between myself and the drone was definitely under a kilometer when this happened. So just keep this in mind when operating a drone – the ideal situation always calls for a good line of the drone with the controller is super easy. To set it up, all you have to do is open up the radio antennas, open up the two compartments on the bottom, pull out the two joysticks and screw them on, then attach the right cable to your phone. All this can be done in less than 30 turn on the drone, you press the battery button once, then you press it again and hold it. The controlled is powered the same way. Once both are on, you wait for the controller to sync up with the Mavic 2 Pro, which can take a minute. After the controller is synced, the red light on the controller will turn green, as it does with other DJI drones. From there, you have to launch the DJI GO 4 app on your device to start controlling the + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/100, f/ GO 4 AppTo fly the drone, I used my iPhone, which fit on the unit without much effort. The DJI GO 4 App worked very well and I did not experience any serious glitches. When using the drone for the first time, the app prompted to update the firmware. I went through the process and it completed without any issues for both the drone and the controller. Every once in a while, I was also prompted to perform the “Precise Fly Safe Database Update”, especially when moving from one region to another. After that, the aircraft was basically ready to moving from one location to another, I often had to re-calibrate the drone before flying, which only took about 10-15 seconds. The calibration process is very easy – all you to do is rotate the drone horizontally, then vertically, as shown in the screenshot below:You might want to wait a few more seconds for the GPS to get ready, so that it knows where the exact takeoff point is, in case the drone starts to get lost and needs to get back. Taking off is very easy. All you have to do is touch the take off icon on the top left corner and the screen will ask if you want to record the precise location of the take-off point, so that it can return there after the flight. You make the selection and proceed, after which the drone will fire up its propellers and take the DroneAlthough I have previously operated the DJI Phantom 3 and the Mavic Air drones, I still consider myself to be a rookie drone operator – I still have a lot to learn for sure. You could probably put me in the category right above the beginner level. Still, despite my lack of experience operating drones, I was able to fly the Mavic 2 Pro without much effort. In fact, the overall experience was similar to flying the Mavic Air in terms of how easy it was to move it around and perform basic functions, such as taking pictures and capturing video. I obviously managed to make some mistakes while operating the drone (those who are very good at this will see those mistakes in the video). Often times, I was too focused on flying the drone and would forget to change my exposure and other settings. Oh well, live and learn! Still, despite all these issues, I came back with some beautiful footage that I can use for my portfolio, as well as to promote my workshops in the future. And for me, that’s what really matters at the end of the + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/320, f/ DJI GO 4 app is pretty versatile and there are many features, some of which I will go through below. Aside from being able to see what the drone sees, or is going to record / take pictures of, you have plenty of other useful information. You can see the altitude, the speed and other relevant data, which is very useful to know in the field. If there is wind that is shaking up the drone, you will get wind warnings. And if you are flying in a limited zone, you will be warned. DJI manages zones quite well and if you attempt to fly in prohibited areas (close to airports, etc), the app might not even allow you to fly the drone. This is good, because it prevents people from being able to launch drones in places where they shouldn’t be allowed to fly them. Unfortunately, some select individuals do quite a bit of harm using drones in ways they shouldn’t, spoiling it for the rest of us. So please, fly responsibly!DJI GO 4 App SettingsThe DJI GO 4 App has a lot of options to choose from, which might make it look complex, especially for those who are just starting out. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know all those settings – in fact, the drone will fly with the default settings just fine and you only need to change settings when you are ready. To access the main settings menu, press the three dots on the right side of the screen and you will be presented with a menu like this:I would recommend to keep most of the settings at their default values, but feel free to check these settings out and experiment after you are more comfortable with flying. In some situations, you might need to disable some of the functions, or perform specific tasks, such as controller calibration and button LifeThe battery life on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is noticeably better when compared to the Mavic Air. That’s a given, considering how big the batteries on the Mavic 2 Pro are in comparison. With a total capacity of 3850 mAh, the Mavic 2 Pro can fly up to 31 minutes, while the Mavic Air is limited to 21 minutes with its 2375 mAh battery. Those 10 minutes of difference do matter when flying over long + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/160, f/ using the drone in Jordan, Turkey and New Zealand, I only had two batteries with me at a time. Considering that I used the drone at most once a day, it was plenty enough for my needs. After-all, I mostly took pictures with my regular full-frame camera and only used the drone when I was basically done or the conditions for shooting weren’t ideal. However, if I were to do it more seriously, I would certainly want to take 3-4 batteries with me, especially when dealing with limited charging time / flying the drone, it is easy to lose track of time, since you are always too busy looking at the screen, especially while taking images and video. Thankfully, the DJI GO 4 App automatically calculates how long it will take to fly back and land the drone, so if you are getting dangerously close to draining the battery, the app will give you a “Low Battery Warning”, similar to the one below:Landing the Mavic 2 Pro is very easy. You can either use the landing icon on the app, or use the joystick to land manually. Make sure that the spot you are planning to land on is even and clean, or you risk damaging the drone rotors. The sensors on the Mavic 2 Pro work very well for easy and safe landings, but you should be careful when trying to grab the drone in mid-air – unlike the Phantom-series, there is little room to grab the drone and you certainly do not want to put your fingers between those blades! If you just grab the drone in mid air, it will think of the grabbing force as air and will spin up its rotors to the maximum to balance it out, at which point it will be very difficult to keep holding it. I didn’t realize how powerful these things are until I tried it out! So unless you know what you are doing, I would just recommend to land the drone on the ground to keep it in mind that you also have to charge the battery inside the controller. It will take about three hours to fully charge the controller and once it is charged, it will be good to go for a few hours. I often found myself charging the controller every other day and even then, I still had quite a bit of battery life left in + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/60, f/ SettingsBy default, the drone will be set to record video, which you can record either into the built-in 8 GB memory, or into a separate microSD card. While it is nice to have some built-in memory, I would strongly recommend to get a fast microSD card (V30 or faster preferred) that won’t boggle down when you write 4K video into it. I used a 128 GB SanDisk Extreme Pro microSD card, which was pricey, but capable of very fast throughput. Even though the Mavic 2 Pro does not support the speeds of UHS-II cards (the memory card slot is UHS-I only), it had no problem writing to it and I was happy with the very fast transfer rates I was getting from the memory card to my video settings can be accessed by pressing the icon with three sliders on it. The “aperture” tab will have the basic camera settings for shooting video, such as camera mode, ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation:While the drone does a good job at properly exposing video, I have seen a number of cases where the drone would slowly change exposure, resulting in inconsistently exposed videos (and I have certainly made a number of mistakes when using the drone in Aperture Priority mode). For this reason, I would recommend to switch to manual mode before you start recording – just make sure to adjust your settings accordingly depending on what you are shooting and the type of ambient light you are dealing next tab is the “camera” tab and that’s where you will find the most important settings for video recording. From here, you can pick video size (from 720p all the way to 4K), video format, white balance, style and color:The last “settings” tab will allow you to go through other relevant functions. For example, you can turn on the histogram, over exposure warning, set up grid, anti-flicker, etc., as well as choose the storage where videos will be saved:Photo SettingsTo switch to photo mode, you simply press the icon above the red video record button, which switches the camera to photo mode. Once you do that, you will see that the menus will change accordingly. Again, there are three tabs in the photo mode as well. The first one is to control the exposure settings:While the second one is there to set up photo options, such as photo release mode, image size, image format, etc:The first menu option is the one you will probably be accessing the most – that’s where you pick between different release modes. The menu option you definitely do not want to skip is “Image Format”. That’s where you have a chance to pick between RAW, JPEG, or JPEG + RAW. I would recommend to either go with RAW or JPEG + RAW options, so that you have more post-processing potential:Keep in mind that the drone has a 20 MP camera, so you are better off taking pictures than trying to extract frames out of 4K word of caution my drone by default was set to shoot 16:9 images, even when I choose RAW. After I did a bunch of shooting in Jordan and Turkey, it was disappointing to find out that all of my images were getting cropped to 16:9 aspect ratio in RAW format. I really don’t understand why DJI chose to crop RAW images when switching between different aspect ratios – I wish the native aspect ratio was actually preserved in RAW images, no matter what setting is chosen. I can understand cropping JPEG images, but RAW images should stay at their native resolution and aspect ratio in my FeaturesSimilar to the Mavic Air, the Mavic 2 Pro has a boatload of other features called “Quickshot” that you can try. Personally, I didn’t care for any of these, but some of them can be quite cool to try out. Below is a list of things you can do with the drone: Sphere Panorama Mode Slow Motion Video Quickshot Intelligent Flight Modes Asteroid Boomerang Rocket Circle Dronie HelixYou can read about these modes on DJI’s website in detail. To access these modes, you need to click the “Remote Control” icon on the left of the screen, then select “Quickshot” and pick one of the modes from the above there is a switch on the controller called “Sport”. This basically allows the drone to fly at its maximum speed of 72 kph, which is very fast. Unless you really know what you are doing, I would highly discourage from using this mode, because it disables all obstacle sensing and avoidance capabilities of the drone, so you might end up losing or crashing the drone pretty QualityStepping up from a 1/ sensor on the Mavic Air to a 1” sensor on the Mavic 2 Pro is a pretty big deal. If you are wondering about the size differences between the two, consider that a 1” sensor has a surface area of 116mm² vs 28mm² on a 1/ sensor. That’s a huge difference, which translates to much better image quality for shooting both stills and video as a result of larger light gathering shows very easily when looking at images and videos, especially when shooting in less than ideal lighting conditions. While with the Mavic Air you are basically limited to capturing images and video in broad daylight (as high ISO noise levels can get extreme and there is very limited dynamic range to work with), you can do way more with the Mavic 2 Pro and shoot in much worse conditions. I found this to be extremely valuable for landscape photography and videography in particular, since the prime time to shoot is typically around sunrises and sunsets, where there are often extreme differences between highlights and size also matters big time when recovering data from RAW images. Take a look at the below image:L1D-20c + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/40, f/ it was captured at ISO 100, I had to recover quite a bit of detail in the shadows, which resulted in added noise. With a little bit of noise reduction in post-processing, I could make this into a solid shot. Had I shot the same scene with a much smaller sensor on the Mavic Air, the image would have been completely unusable. These kinds of things do matter when dealing with low-light and extreme conditions. I tried my best to keep my ISO at base ISO 100 when shooting, but in some situations I was able to shoot at higher ISOs without adding too much noise to my images, which was the way, you can also capture aerial panoramas with the drone. Here is a vertical panorama that I captured with about 6 images from top to bottom:L1D-20c + 28mm f/ @ ISO 100, 1/160, f/ QualityThe same goes for capturing high-quality video. You will find a lot more latitude in dealing with video footage from a 1” sensor than from a 1/ sensor. I shot the Mavic 2 Pro in Dlog-M 100% of the time and it was great to be able to color-grade the video footage in software without much effort. I was able to recover quite a bit of detail this way, especially when shooting in high contrast scenes. If you watch the YouTube video of Jordan one more time, you will see particular scenes where recovery was very important. In the scene with my Bedouin friend Mahmoud laying down and waving next to his campfire, it was already past sunset time and there wasn’t much light left to expose the scene correctly. And yet after loading the footage into Final Cut Pro and editing it, I was able to recover lots of detail – you can see that Mahmoud’s face is properly exposed without much visible the way, it was very nice to find out that DJI released its D-Log LUT that you can load into your video editing software – you can download it from here. That’s what I used to color-grade the footage in the Jordan I am very happy with the video performance of the Mavic 2 Pro. It is a huge step up from what the Mavic Air can do, especially in more challenging lighting now, you can probably already tell that I am a big fan of the Mavic 2 Pro.

If I need to grab quick footage of a subject during the day, I would not hesitate to use the Mavic Air.

TechRadar Verdict The Mavic 2 Pro remains one of the best drones you can buy, although it's now been overshadowed by the arrival of the DJI Air 2S. The Air 2S brings significant size and weight savings, and these give it the edge over this older model. But if you need features like variable aperture, the Mavic 2 Pro is still worth considering – and its 20MP, 1-Inch sensor is capable of shooting some of the best 4K video and raw stills you'll get from a consumer drone. Pros +Easy to fly+Intuitive app for camera control+Large one-inch 20MP sensor+Aperture control+Foldable design Cons -Battery life is limited-Noise is problematic above ISO 100-Camera locked in landscape orientation The DJI Mavic 2 Pro was launched as part of an exciting double-act with the Mavic 2 Zoom in August 2018. While it remains DJI's flagship consumer drone, it's since been upstaged by the arrival of the DJI Air 2S – a model that combines a 1-Inch sensor with a smaller, more travel-friendly Air 2S has now replaced the Mavic 2 Pro at the top of our guide to the best drones, but this older model is still worth considering, particularly if you mainly shoot video. That's because the Mavic 2 Pro has adjustable aperture, which means you can tweak the exposure as the light changes, rather than having to land the drone and change the ND filter, as you would on the Air 2S.(Image credit: Future)The Mavic 2 Pro also bring a host of advanced photo and video features, alongside some intelligent flight modes that have deservedly made it one of the world’s most popular drones since its the Mavic 2 Pro's release there have been new drone laws introduced in many regions – including registration schemes in both the UK and US – but as long as you follow the new guidelines, then it remains a fantastic way to get pro-level aerial footage of your local landscapes or travel adventures.(Image credit: Future)Release date and priceThe DJI Mavic 2 Pro has been available to buy since its release date on August 23 2018, when it started shipping alongside its Mavic 2 Zoom Mavic 2 Pro key specsSensor: 20MP one-inch CMOS Focal length: 28mm (full-frame equivalent) Shutter speed: 8-1/8000sec Aperture: f/ Video: 4K MP4 & MOV, 10-bit D-Log M & 10-bit HDR Take-off weight: 907g Flight time: Up to 31 minsDespite its age, the Mavic 2 Pro's price hasn't really come down from its original $1,599 / £1,349 / $2,499 level. In fact, at times it's even gone up – towards the end of 2019 in the US, for example, prices rose as much as 13% due to increased tariffs on Chinese factor has simply been a lack of competition for the Mavic 2 Pro. That's now changed with the arrival of the DJI Air 2S, which we reckon now offers better value, but it's possible we may now see some long-awaited price drops for this older are the best DJI drones you can buy right nowDesign and controllerThe Mavic 2 Pro maintains the foldable design debuted by its predecessor. This allows the drone to almost halve its footprint for transportation, making it the most portable drone with a one-inch sensor available. Folding is simple and requires the front arms to be rotated out and the rear arms to be twisted up and into position. Each arm is home to one of four propellers.(Image credit: Future)The main body of the Mavic 2 Pro is compact and rectangular, with the gimbal and camera mounted at the front/bottom of the drone. The camera and gimbal benefit from a raised position when the drone is sitting on the ground, so there’s ground clearance for take-off or landing. There’s not a great deal of space though, so when taking off and landing on wet grass, for example, it pays to use a landing mat to make sure the camera lens doesn’t get wet when the gimbal automatically calibrates after the drone's turned switch the Mavic 2 Pro on you simply press and hold the button on the top of the battery that clips neatly into place at the top of the drone. For the controller, it’s a case of pressing the power button briefly before pressing and holding again to switch it on. And don’t forget to connect your smartphone with the DJI Go 4 app installed, because this provides access to drone settings, camera control and camera controller itself is also compact and foldable, with joysticks that are stowed safely at the bottom of the controller and need to be screwed in place for use. The controller looks similar to a standard radio controller, but the sticks are used for very different maneuvers to an RC car, so it's worth familiarizing yourself with them before your first flight. The bottom of the controller opens up to provide a phone holder that can accommodate even the largest smartphones (up to a max length of 160mm, or max thickness of And when the controller is switched on, it automatically opens the DJI Go 4 app, which makes the whole process of starting everything up a camera controls need to be accessed via the app, but the controller also provides 11 direct access controls that allow you to quickly access a number of commonly used functions. Many of these can also be customized like function buttons on a DSLR or mirrorless camera, so you can configure the controller in a way that works for you and your photography. The DJI Go 4 app provides a similar layout and camera functionality to a compact camera, so most photographers will instantly feel at home here and flightFlying the DJI Mavic 2 Pro really couldn’t be simpler. This is thanks in part to GPS, which holds the drone in position and stops it from getting blown out of position by the wind, and safety features like collision avoidance, which uses omnidirectional obstacle sensing that helps you avoid features are truly incredible, but don’t let them lull you into a false sense of security – despite being active by default, they won’t necessarily stop the drone from crashing into objects. In many cases, when you get too close to an object the controller will show visual warnings, as well as sound audio warnings to let you know of imminent danger, and the drone will brake to avoid a collision. However, this isn’t always the case and crashes can and do happen, so care and common sense are essential to avoid any incidents. On paper, the Mavic 2 Pro can fly for up to 31 minutes, which is more realistically 20-25 minutes, with a maximum speed of up to 45mph / 72kph – so losing control or crashing will likely have expensive the safety aspects, the Mavic 2 Pro offers numerous shooting modes and automated 'Intelligent flight' modes aimed at making getting specific types of stills and video as easy as possible. As with any camera, it’s better to approach most techniques manually by taking full control of the drone’s flight, but these automated modes are great for beginners learning their get Timelapse (and hyperlapse), Quickshot, Active Track, Point of Interest, Waypoint, TapFly and Cinematic. Stills shooting modes include Single Shot, Burst Mode, HDR, AEB, HyperLight (night mode), Interval and Pano, which offers a number of different panoramic shooting Mavic 2 Pro's three main flying modes can also be accessed from within the app or using a switch on the side of the controller. Tripod Mode (T) slows the drone and makes it less responsive to allow for smoother video. Positioning Mode (P) is the standard flight mode and provides a medium level of control, while Sports Mode (S) makes the Mavic most responsive and flies and photo qualityThe Mavic 2 Pro's image quality is very good overall, as long as you don't expect quite the same level as you’d get with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Most drones feature a sensor that’s similar to that of a mobile phone, but thanks to a 20MP one-inch Hasselblad sensor, the Mavic 2 Pro's sensor is much closer to a premium compact in terms of size and overall image the larger sensor than many other consumer drones, noise is still an issue and is visible even at ISO 100. This certainly isn’t a deal-breaker, but the DJI Air 2S does perform better here and it does mean that shooting at higher settings will inevitably introduce even higher levels of noise, which ultimately means diminished image said, image quality is good enough for large prints in the region of 16x12 inches without interpolation. And while there is some fall off in sharpness at the edges of the frame, it’s not so bad that it detracts from the image as a whole. Shooting around sunrise and sunset remains just as important for aerial photography (Image credit: Future)Lens distortion is minimal, and while chromatic aberration is often visible along high contrast subject edges, this is a one-click fix in raw editing software. In fact, with the ability to shoot in DNG format, raw images can be processed using your favorite raw editing software. If you prefer your images to be processed in-camera, saving in JPEG format is also an of the key features of the drone beside the sensor and the 28mm equivalent focal length is the adjustable aperture providing f/ to f/11. This not only means that you can control exposure and depth-of-field, but it also provides the ability to shoot in aperture priority, shutter priority or manual mode. This is a key advantage over the newer DJI Air 2S. The variable aperture is particularly useful for video compared to drone cameras with a fixed f/ aperture for a couple of reasons. It means you don't need to use as strong ND filters in bright conditions, and you can also counteract changes in light while the drone is in the air, rather than having to land and change the ND filter. Video options provide something for everyone, whether you're a complete beginner or a pro looking to incorporate raw aerial footage into a professional film or video, with the ability to match color and color grade the footage. Video is available in 4K at 24/25/30p, at 24/25/30/48/50/60p and HD at 1920×1080 24/25/30/48/50/60/120p. HD obviously provides the most options including slow motion, but it’s a shame that 4K is limited to a maximum of 30p. That said, for the majority of users, including professionals, this won’t be too much of a problem. Video can be shot in MP4 or MOV, 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HDR or using picture profiles for in-camera processing (like a JPEG).(Image credit: Future)VerdictFor photographers and videographers who need a highly portable drone that can be easily carried alongside other photographic equipment, the Mavic 2 Pro remains a great option, even if it has now been overshadowed by the arrival of the DJI Air Air 2S is smaller and more affordable than the Mavic 2 Pro, which means it's taken the number one spot in our guide to the best drones. But aside from that model, the Mavic 2 Pro still has few rivals in the drone world – and is definitely still the best small, folding option around with variable aperture. Alternatives still include the Mavic 2 Zoom which, as the name suggests, features an optical zoom lens. But as a result of this functionality, it also houses a smaller sensor with no control over the aperture. The new DJI Phantom 4 Pro is the Mavic Pro 2’s closest competitor in terms of sensor size, but it’s a much larger and more powerful drone aimed at professional use, so again a completely different Mavic 2 Pro is incredibly easy to fly and with some of the most advanced flight and camera technology currently available in the consumer drone market, it’s capable of producing professional-level stills and video. It's not as portable as the DJI Air 2S and its image quality doesn't match the DJI Inspire 2, which has a Micro Four Thirds camera, but the Mavic 2 Pro is a classic that is still worth considering if you need that adjustable are the best drones you can buy right now James Abbott is a professional portrait and landscape photographer, and a freelance photography journalist producing words and pictures for the best photography magazines in the UK.

Its new OcuSync transmission system has a longer transmission range and 1080p resolution. Due to its larger size, the Phantom 4 has a higher maximum speed and can withstand stronger the folding mechanism wear out and will it need replacing?The folding mechanism has been tested to last at least 5000 folds. It is unlikely that it will wear out during the Mavic’s lifetime. difference of camera between Mavic and Phantom 4?The two cameras have the same features, but the Mavic’s camera has a smaller FOV, is able to focus as closely as and can be rotated 90° for portrait shots and selfies. The Phantom 4’s larger FOV makes it better suited for landscape imaging. the Mavic Pro waterproof?No. As the Mavic chassis is low to the ground, only take off and land in suitable areas that are flat and free of do you enable auto focus on the Mavic Pro camera?Focus is essential to capturing sharp images. To enable auto focus:1. Tap the screen in the DJI GO app camera Long tap the screen to enable auto focus when using ActiveTrack, TapFly and Gesture modes. (This function needs to be enabled in General Settings)3. Focus at the center by pressing a customizable button. C1 is set by default and can be used during normal flight or while using Intelligent Flight Modes. shooting in manual focus mode, my shots are blurred even when moving the slider all the way to infinite focus. Why? The focus range of the Mavic is to infinite. Slide along the bar until you reach a focus point. Sliding straight to infinite focus does not guarantee sharp focus. I zoom during shooting?The Mavic Pro supports a 2x digital zoom, but does not support optical zoom. You can zoom in or out by draging on the screen or by pressing the customizable buttons. to enter Portrait mode?Slide to the left on the screen and tap the a Portrait/Landscape icon, or by pressing customizable Controller & is the difference between using the remote controller to control the Mavic, and using your smartphone to control it via Wi-Fi?The Mavic remote controller uses DJI’s OcuSync transmission technology, giving it an increased range of up to (7km) in open areas without interference, FCC compliant. When using a smartphone connected via Wi-Fi, the controllable range is 80m, and maximum altitude is 50m, making it suitable for short-range shots like selfies and for setting up ActiveTrack. You can also download photos and videos directly from the Mavic to your mobile device via Wi-Fi. By sliding the Control Mode switch on the right hand side of the aircraft, you can choose easily between Wi-FI and RC mode depending on which transmission type you do I switch between the two controller modes?First, make sure that your aircraft is powered off. Then, open the small cover on the right hand side of the aircraft body. Slide the switch to the left to enable Wi-Fi control, or to the right to use the remote sizes of smartphone can fit inside the Mavic remote controller?The Mavic remote controller can fit smartphones between thick and up to 160mm long, without a phone case. Phones and tablets larger than this do not fit the remote controller’s device I use a regular USB cable to connect my phone and remote controller?Yes, you can. However, for the best user experience, we recommend that you use a dedicated Mavic RC (Remote Controller) Cable to connect your Remote Controller Cables are included with the Mavic upon purchase?Three cables are included in the box: one with Lightning connector, one with a standard Micro-USB connector and the third one is the USB Type-C is the default Wi-Fi SSID and password?For security purposes, each Mavic has its own SSID and password that can be found on a sticker on one of the forearms of the aircraft and inside the battery compartment. For your first use, you can scan the QR code with the DJI GO app to connect to the aircraft*, or enter the password manually under your phone’s Wi-Fi settings. (*Only available for Android devices). I use other QR code apps to scan the QR code and connect to the aircraft via Wi-Fi?No. You must use the DJI GO app to connect to your can I set the Wi-Fi SSID and password?Connect to your Mavic via Wi-Fi and then enter Camera View. Now enter Wi-Fi settings to manually set the SSID and do I reset the Wi-Fi password back to default?Turn on the Mavic in Wi-Fi mode, press the linking button and hold for is the benefit of dual-band Wi-Fi?The Wi-Fi frequency was developed a long time ago, 5G Wi-Fi is newer. As is older, more devices use this frequency, making it more likely to suffer from interference. 5G is less prone to interference as there are less 5G devices, but not all phones support the 5G frequency. You can switch between these two frequency bands in the Wi-Fi Settings menu in the DJI GO customizable buttons does the Mavic Pro have?C1, C2 and 5D buttons on the remote controller are customizable. Default settings: C1: Focus at the center, C2: Play back, 5D Up: Recenter gimbal, FD Down: Tilt gimbal down, 5D Left: Zoom in, 5D Right Zoom out. does the Pause button on the remote controller do?It tells the Mavic Pro to hover, pausing the the difference between the Remote Controller Cable (Standard Micro USB Connector) and the Remote Controller Cable (Reverse Micro USB Connector)?Phone with display facing up: Standard Micro USB connector Reverse Micro USB Connector The Remote Controller Cable (Standard Micro USB Connector) is compatible with: Samsung, Huawei, Motorola and more. The Remote Controller Cable (Reverse Micro USB Connector) is compatible with: HTC, Mi, OPPO and more. For Sony, VIVO, and other brands, phone compatibility differs by model. Please take care to choose the correct type for your I have to take the propellers off when in transit?No. Just fold the propellers and you are good to go. happens if the propellers are not fully unfolded before flight?Once the rotors start spinning, the centrifugal force will automatically push the propellers into the correct position, so you don’t need to worry about not having unfolded them perfectly. Mavic’s motors are not all on the same plane. Will this affect its flight performance?No. the highest level of wind the Mavic can resist?The Mavic can withstand a level 5 wind, also called a fresh breeze. This is defined as wind speeds of 19–24mph (29–38kph). far can the Mavic fly on a single charge?In calm weather and under ideal conditions, the Mavic can fly up to 8 miles (13km) at 31 mph (50 kph). Real-world performance will vary though, so we urge you to monitor your battery level at all times. does the Mavic have a longer flight time than hover time?Thanks to its rotor system optimized for forward flight and its aerodynamic design, when flying at the optimum speed for energy consumption, the Mavic consumes less energy then it does hovering. This is why it is able to give you a 27 minute flight time, while its hover time is 24 minutes. Video is the main benefit of the OcuSync video transmission system?OcuSync has a range of up to miles (7 km) with improved resistance to interference and a higher transmission throughput. At shorter ranges it can stream footage to you at 1080p resolution and also allows photo and video downloads at 40Mb/s. is the resolution of the live view transmitted via OcuSync?The users can switch between 1080P and 720P manually. However we don't suggest the users use the 1080P when there is strong electromagnetic interference or for far-field is OcuSync’s transmission latency?160ms-170ms from the Mavic’s camera to your device screen under ideal conditions. is the difference between quick calibration and advanced calibration?When the Vision System fails to function normally, you can do a quick calibration in the DJI GO app, or connect the aircraft to a computer to perform advanced calibration for higher precision. is the difference between the Mavic’s Intelligent Vision Positioning System and an Optical Flow Vision Positioning System?The Mavic combines dual forward and downward vision sensors to realize precision hovering. Therefore, it requires no more than a patterned surface and enough available light to be able to hover stably up to 13m above the ground. Even if the Mavic is unable to identify reference points on the ground, it can still rely on its forward vision sensors to hover. In contrast, an Optical Flow system, requires information from ultrasonic sensors to supplement its view of patterned surfaces. An example to show the difference between the two systems is when the aircraft is returning to you while you are standing on a balcony. When flying in over the balcony, drones using Optical Flow will receive data from two data sources that measure its height above the below surface differently – one being its height above the ground, and another the height above the balcony. As the data is not compatible, an Optical Flow system may become confused. Another example is when the ground below the drone is covered by vegetation. Plants and trees do not reflect sound as well as other surfaces, causing the Optical Flow system’s ultrasonic sensors to be unable to gather altitude data. In conclusion, the Mavic's Intelligent Vision Positioning System requires fewer inputs and is therefore more robust in its functionality. is the maximum distance and maximum flight speed at which the Mavic can fly while avoiding obstacles?The Mavic will automatically avoid obstacles 50ft (15m) in front of it. The maximum speed at which the Mavic is able to avoid obstacles is 22mph (30kph). are the conditions required for Precision Landing?Precision Landing is an upgraded version of GPS RTH. It needs a GPS signal strong enough to initiate Precision Landing, so that the Mavic can be navigated back to the vicinity of the take-off point. Then, the aircraft needs to be able to visually recognize the pattern of the ground it took off from, for example cracks or other identifiable patterns. A uniform patch of sand, however, is not suitable for Precision Landing. Finally, the Mavic needs to capture footage of the ground during take-off to record its appearance. This means that you should give the Mavic sufficient time during its ascent and fly up to around 10m above your takeoff point , instead of flying away immediately after take-off. can't I calibrate my Mavic's vision sensors with DJI Assistant 2 on my computer?here are a few reasons why calibration may fail: 1. Every sensor leaves the factory with a protective cover. Check if the protective covers have been removed. 2. Check if the sensors are clean and if the preview image is clear. 3. Some computer screens may be unable to calibrate. Try using a different the Mavic’s charger charge both its Intelligent Flight Battery and its remote controller?Yes, it can charge a battery and two other devices simultaneously via USB. However, it will take longer to fully charge the devices. the Mavic’s battery support quick charging?Yes. The Mavic’s Intelligent Flight Battery supports quick charging at nearly 2C, with a maximum charging power of 100W. The rated power of Mavic Battery Charger is 50W, and the rated power of the Mavic Car Charger is 78W. When using the Mavic Advanced Charging Hub with a 100W adapter, the battery can be charged at 100W. is a Battery Charging Hub? What is the difference between the two versions of the Mavic’s Charging Hub?The two Charging Hubs can both charge up to 4 batteries at one time. In order to fully charge the first battery as quickly as possible, the Intelligent Flight Batteries are charged in sequence according to their power levels, from high to low. This gives you the fastest way of getting all your batteries fully charged. There are two main differences between the two Charging Hubs. First, the standard Charging Hub only supports the Mavic’s 50W Battery Charger and Mavic Car Charger, while the advanced version also supports the 100W Battery Charger and Car Charger from the Phantom 4. Second, the advanced version will balance the voltage of each battery cell to improve charging efficiency. When one battery’s charging enters the second-half of its charging phase, the next battery will enter the first-half of its charging phase. With 4 batteries all at 15%, the advanced charger can get 4 batteries fully charged in 140 minutes using the Phantom 4’s 100W charger, while the standard version will need 270 minutes with the Mavic’s 50W is the Mavic’s Battery to Power Bank Adapter?This adapter can be connected to the Mavic’s Intelligent Flight Battery, turning it into a power bank. Thanks to its high capacity, an Intelligent Flight Battery at 25% charge can fully charge the Mavic’s controller, or an iPhone 6. is the maximum output current for the Mavic’s Battery to Power Bank Adapter?The adapter has two USB ports which can be used simultaneously. The output voltage is 5V, and the max current is 2A + 2A. Travel many batteries can I carry in the Mavic’s Shoulder Bag?Four. One mounted on the Mavic, one at the bottom of the bag, and one in each of the two side pockets. Firmware using DJI GO 4 to update firmware, can I let the update run in the background while I use other apps?No. DJI GO 4 will state an update error. You will have to reconnect to the internet to update downloading the firmware successfully, can I disconnect from the internet and continue updating? the update fail if the battery level of the aircraft or controller is lower than 50%? The update will not start if the battery levels are lower than 50%. After downloading the firmware, please ensure the aircraft and controller have sufficient power to continue the update. However, the update will continue to run normally if battery levels fall below 50% during an the remote controller be updated when upgrading the aircraft via USB? No. In this case, only the aircraft will be updated. Please refer to the instructions below when using DJI Assistant 2 to update. 1. To update the remote controller only: Power off the aircraft and connect the remote controller to your computer via USB. 2. To update the aircraft only: Connect the aircraft to your computer via USB. 3. To update the aircraft and remote controller together: Power on the aircraft and link it to the remote controller then connect the remote controller to the computer via USB; Once the aircraft and remote controller are connected to your computer, DJI Assistant 2 will respond to the device that was connected first. the remote controller is connected via USB, my computer and DJI Assistant 2 become unresponsive. Why?The remote controller does not support hot swapping. Please ensure that the remote controller is powered off before connecting it to the computer. Power on the remote after happens if the battery firmware version differs from the aircraft firmware version after the update?DJI GO will examine version consistency for all devices. If there is a problem, follow the instructions in DJI GO for a further update. I update through DJI GO 4 when using Wi-Fi to control the aircraft? No. You cannot update the aircraft in this instance. However, you may update other components to the current aircraft firmware version. does it mean when the progress bar gets stuck during an update? Both devices have different update speeds. It will take approximately five minutes for the remote controller, ten minutes for the aircraft, and 15 minutes to update both simultaneously. If the update takes longer, check your network connection and USB cable or power off, restart and try again. happens if the remote controller gets disconnected from the aircraft after an update? Please refer to the instructions in the user manual and relink the remote controller and aircraft. Check the latest version numbers to make sure both have been updated properly. the update still fails, try the following steps: that the battery level is at least 50% or higher before updating. that you haven’t powered off the device during the update. If so, switch the power on again to continue. from the internet during a firmware download will lead to update failure. However, you can disconnect the aircraft from the computer after downloading the firmware to start an update. When the update is finished, reconnect the aircraft to the computer via USB. DJI GO will show the update is 100% complete. update failure persists, or the remote controller does not link with the aircraft, there may be firmware inconsistencies between devices. In this instance, use DJI Assistant 2 on your computer to update to the latest versions separately. It is normal for the remote controller to restart a few times when updating. When linked to the aircraft, it will disconnect and relink twice.

Avec le Mavic 2 Pro, DJI a conforté sa domination avec une nouvelle prouesse technique, combinant portabilité, intuitivité et qualité photographique supérieure. Retour sur un modèle chimérique, dont les caractéristiques font encore trembler les genoux des constructeurs concurrents. Fer de lance de la marque chinoise et très attendu par les fans de la gamme, le DJI Mavic 2 Pro a été lancé en Aout 2018, aux côtés du Mavic 2 Zoom, et prétend toujours au titre du plus puissant drone grand public. Commercialisé à un prix de 1499 €, ce monstre d'innovation est bardé de nouvelles technologies photographiques et de navigation. Et cette fois, la liste est à n'en plus finir : grande autonomie, capteurs omnidirectionnels, caméra Hasselblad, Hyperlight, Hyperlapse, HDR, ... et le tout en restant facilement transportable. En attendant la version 3 hypothétiquement prévue pour 2020, explorons en détails ce drone si privilégié par les passionnés et les Mavic 2 Pro : La Fiche techniquePrix conseillé : 1499 € en version standard - 1899€ avec le kit Fly MoreCatégorie : Semi professionnel Dimensions : 21,4 x 9,1 x 8,4 cm - déplié : 32,2 x 24,2 x 84 cm Poids : 907 gr Batterie : 3 850 mAh, donnée pour 31min d'autonomie Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing : • 8 capteurs optiques devant, arrières et dessous, et sur les cotés • 1 capteur infrarouge au-dessus • 1 capteur de lumière auxiliaire en dessous • Détection d'obstacles 6 directions (devant, derrière, cotés, bas, haut) • Evitement 2 directionsNacelle de stabilisation 3 axes Capteur CMOS 1" Hasselblad • 20Mpx • Objectif à ouverture réglable f/2,8 - f/11 • Focal 28 mm • Obturateur électronique jusqu'à 1/8 000 sRésolutions : Vidéo 4K@30fps et 1080p@120fps Encodage Vidéo : et Accessoires : • Affichage digital sur radiocommande • 8 Go de stockage interne • 3 paires d'hélices • 1 paire de joystick de rechange • Câble de transfert • Adaptateurs Micro-USB/USB-C/Lightning Pesant plus de 800 gr, le Mavic 2 Pro nécessitera le passage d'un petit examen théorique, ainsi qu'un enregistrement en ligne pour son utilisation. Acheter le Mavic PRO 2La Découverte d'un package sobre et distingué Le Mavic 2 Pro est présenté dans un emballage bien thermoformé qui pourra resservir quelques fois pour le transport. Constitué de l'essentiel, le package contentera le pilote débutant. Les accessoires sont durables et donnent un bon feeling. Plutôt étrange mais idéal pour le rangement, les hélices en plastique souple sont repliables. Il n'y a qu'une seule paire d'hélice de rechange, mais une paire de joystick en plus. Pratique, le chargeur sert à la batterie et la radiocommande sur son port USB simultanément. La RC, quant à elle, est dépliable et possède un écran digital intégré lumineux. Celle-ci est robuste et lourde dans la main. Les commandes, boutons et molettes renvoient de bonnes sensations. En dépliant la RC, on est très vite dérouté par l'ergonomie du support pour smartphone. On retrouvera les joysticks amovibles, rangés sous les reposes mains recouverts de grip. Faites attention aux antennes qui peuvent être fragile à leurs bases. Le drone, équipé d'un nombre impressionnant de capteurs, interloque par son look futuriste. Le design est magnifiquement ingénieux, avec des bras repliables, sur retour de force. Le marquage des hélices est suffisant et les attaches sembles solides. La batterie et le cache caméra se détachent aisément. La charnière de ce dernier semble toutefois frêle. L'ensemble profite d'un encombrement minimal et rationalisé, et tiendra dans une besace. Prenez garde aux plastiques qui ont tendance se rayer facilement, comme l'écran digital de la RC ou bien le cache de la mise en (bouche) route aigre-douce En s'attaquant à la RC, la première installation donne du fil à retordre. Le branchement de l'adaptateur USB et de son clip manque cruellement d'intuitivité, même si on saisit l'intérêt a posteriori. Le montage du smartphone, comme ici avec un Oneplus 5T, est délicat et donne un résultat grossier. Pire, les mâchoires du support occultent les bords de l'écrans, rendant ceux-ci difficiles à atteindre avec le doigt. Cependant, une fois assemblée, la RC offre une très bonne prise en main. Le déploiement du Mavic Pro 2 se fait, lui, sans accros, soulagé par une rapide fixation des hélices et un retrait aisé du cache caméra. L'allumage et la synchronisation sont instantanés. Le niveau sonore de la RC est acceptable. On découvre brièvement les paramètres de vol et de caméra depuis l'application DJI, accédés en partie par le biais des boutons à l'arrière de la RC, qui seront peut-être un peu petits. Situé sur l'écran digital, un bouton joystick permet de créer des raccourcis pour les paramètres Photo, à l'exception de la sensibilité (ISO). La molette de droite, quant à elle, servira à gérer la correction d'exposition EV. Avant le décollage, veillez à basculer l'interrupteur de la RC sur P (Positionning), les deux autres positions servant respectivement aux modes T (Tripod) et S (Sport). Paré au décollage, choisissez bien votre piste. La hauteur du train arrière du drone frôlant les capteurs, vous risquez de les endommager sur un terrain Navigation Deux-Point-ZéroToutes les manœuvres ont été effectuées en journée ensoleillée, avec un vent standardsLe Mavic 2 Pro passe de l'allumage au décollage en un éclair. On constate immédiatement une excellente réactivité dans toutes les directions, aidée par l'agréabilité des joysticks de contrôle. La vitesse standard, plafonnée à 50 km/h, est impressionnante et largement suffisante pour toutes les prises de vues. Celle-ci est peut-être même un peu trop rapide, et rend la gestion des courbes un peu délicate. On sent que le drone est nerveux et qu'il veut aller vite, même en prise d'altitude. La marche arrière est plus modérée. La gestion du lacet (axe de rotation), et des autres commandes, offre une incroyable précision dans les manœuvres. Les distances de freinages sont fantastiquement courtes. Zone de Manœuvres - Grange de la Chamary - Saint Vincent de Boisset Grâce à sa dizaine de capteurs, l'évitement des obstacles du Mavic 2 est très performant. A noter que les capteurs de côté ne fonctionneront que pour certains modes de vols intelligents. A la moindre détection, une alerte est émise, et si nécessaire, le drone s'écarte de sa trajectoire pour rester en sureté. Le mode Sport, qui débride la vitesse de pointe à 72 km/h, produit des accélérations fulgurantes, et ravira les pilotes en manque de sensations. Le mode Tripod, quant à lui, s'invite comme nouveau mode disponible sur l'interrupteur de la RC. Réduisant drastiquement la vitesse et l'accélération, il s'agit du mode adéquat pour la gestion des courbes et des prises de vues lentes et automatiséesLe Mavic 2 Pro bénéficie des modes de vols intelligents les plus avancés de chez DJI. Par soucis de concision, nous ne nous attarderons pas sur leurs fonctionnalités respectives, que nous considérons comme acquises. Intéressant pour les prises de vues douces, le mode Cinematic rend les manœuvres plus fluides et plus précises, à l'instar du mode Tripod, mais en plus dynamique. Assez simpliste, le mode Tapfly reste accommodant pour un focus sur un sujet. Le mode Point of Interest, qui évolue ici en avec une puissante fonctionnalité de tracking, devient un outil encore plus efficace. Pendant les tests, le mode Activetrack, également renouvelé en a montré de bonnes performances, conservant un parfait suivi du sujet, même à vitesse rapide, à 15m de distance. Dernier remodelage en date, le mode Waypoint s'est grandement complexifié et renvoie maintenant vers sa propre sous-interface, qui inclut une bibliothèque de tâches. La programmation de vol s'en voit significativement améliorée, mais prendra plus de temps à personnaliser. Mais n'ayez crainte, les waypoints peuvent toujours s'enregistrés à la volée. Malgré que les conditions ne soient pas pleinement réunies, un bref test du mode Hyperlapse nous a convaincu. Le mode est simple d'utilisation et la vidéo est générée automatiquement par le drone. Le mode Quickshots offre plusieurs plans vidéos automatisés, quasi tous très élégants pour la mise en valeur d'un sujet. Les plans Dronie et Rocket ont tendance à faciliter le travail du vidéaste en proposant des plans simples mais toujours séduisant. En redondance avec le mode Point of Interest, le plan Circle reste pertinent, car il limite le paramétrage préalable. De même pour les plans Helix et Boomerang, qui seront des applications typiques du mode Waypoints, mais qui nécessite moins l'intervention du pilote. Moins convaincant, le plan Asteroid aura malgré tout son public pour des vidéos plus originales. Inaudible à partir de 50m de distance, le drone produit une nuisance sonore très modérée. Sur une distance de 200m, la transmission du signal vidéo en 720p n'a montré aucun problème. En fin de vol, le repli et le rangement sont assez brefs, mise à part la pose du cache caméra qui reste un peu grisante qualité PhotoLe Mavic 2 Pro se dote d'un gros capteur CMOS de 1 pouce de chez Hasselbad, constructeur d'objectifs suédois dont DJI est actionnaire depuis 2017. Celui-ci produit des clichés d'une résolution de 20mpx, au format 16:9, 4:3 ou 3:2, en JPEG et RAW. JPEG & DNG - post-traitement automatique sur Adobe Lightroom En mode automatique, il ne suffit que d'une pointe de l'efficiente correction d'exposition pour réussir sa prise de vue. La qualité des images est tout simplement homérique, caractérisée par un parfait piqué et une large plage dynamique. Les couleurs sont légèrement trop vivides mais restent dans des tons naturels. Optez pour le format DNG pour un rendu immédiatement plus chaleureux, et pour gommer une presque imperceptible distorsion optique. On note aussi aucune dégradation en mouvement. Images issues du mode AEB & Fusion sous Adobe Lightroom VS mode HDR Toujours intéressant, le mode AEB fournit 3 ou 5 clichés à plusieurs niveaux d'exposition, par pas de 0,7, permettant un meilleur choix pour le post-traitement. Pour faire la comparaison avec le mode HDR présent sur l'appareil, on peut s'amuser à fusionner manuellement les clichés AEB. Ici, le mode HDR a fortement tendance à perdre en netteté, mais dénature moins les couleurs. Les 2 méthodes restent valides, selon la volonté du photographe. Balance des Blancs & Styles Sur le mode Balances des Blancs, vous optez pour des profils jouant assez délicatement sur la température des couleurs. Avec le mode Styles, les réglages sont plus minutieux et agissent sur la netteté, le contraste et la saturation. Les différences entre les profils sont ici plutôt subtiles. Préférez un réglage manuel pour un résultat plus clivant. Mode Priorité à l'ouverture - Mode Priorité à la vitesse A l'instar d'un bon appareil photo, le Mavic 2 Pro bénéficie des modes Priorité à l'ouverture et Priorité à la vitesse d'obturation. Sur une plage d'ouverture réglable de f/2,8 à f/11, on constate que la dégradation de la netteté n'apparait que vers la plus petite ouverture. De même pour l'obturateur électronique montant jusqu'à 1/8000s, qui ne fait apparaitre le grain qu'en fin de plage. Plage de variation ISO en mode Manuel A la montée en ISO, un léger grain apparait à partir de 800 ISO. L'image devient ensuite de moins en moins exploitable avec une perte sévère de la netteté, et de la plage dynamique. Pour des prises de vues en pénombre, profitez plutôt du mode Hyperlight, créé spécifiquement pour un environnement à faible luminosité. Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas eu l'opportunité de tester ce dernier en conditions réelles. Panorama 3x3 Horizontal - Fusion Automatique VS Fusion sous Adobe Lightroom Le Mavic 2 Pro délivre de magnifiques Panoramas. Ici illustré en format 3x3, le résultat donne un bon assemblage et de belles couleurs naturelles. On dénote aucun problème de fusion des clichés, et la distorsion ne nuit pas à l'esthétisme de la photo. En comparaison, la fusion manuelle en post-traitement n'apporte pas une qualité supérieure. Curieusement, les profils de couleurs n'étaient pas disponibles lors du qualité VidéoPour des besoins de mise en forme, les vidéos ont été assemblées par codec, mais toutes les prises de vues ont été analysées indépendamment. Rien qu'en 1080p, la qualité de la vidéo du Mavic 2 Pro est époustouflante, rehaussée par une remarquable netteté. La fluidité sera meilleure en 30fps, et ne faiblit pas à l'accélération. Même si intéressant sur le papier, le mode Slowmotion 120fps, qui fournit en fait une vidéo ralentie en 30fps, recadre et dégrade considérablement la qualité de l'image. En 4K, le niveau de détail passe un cran au-dessus. La prise de vue émerveille par son surréalisme. On constate quelques lags sur la première prise, mais qui seront corrigés par l'enregistrement en améliorant la compression, et la montée en cadence à 30fps. Il faudra néanmoins un ordinateur de très bonne facture pour traiter ce format. Toutes résolutions confondues, les couleurs sont magnifiquement rendues, avec un ton légèrement plus vibrant, à l'instar du mode Photo. Mise en avant par DJI, le nouvel algorithme de traitement vidéo HDR 10bits se retrouve dans les profils de couleurs, qui ne seront disponibles qu'en sur le Mavic 2 Pro. On ne s'attardera pas sur le mode D-Log, qui aura tout son intérêt pour un étalonnage des couleurs en post-traitement. L'utilisation du mode HLG, format utilisé ici pour la vidéo HDR, est d'autant plus délicate, car il ne sera exploitable que si vous lisez la vidéo sur un écran compatible ! Auquel cas, vous accédez à un niveau réellement supérieur de couleurs et de de ClubicPar son degré de compétitivité, le Mavic 2 Pro éblouie son pilote.

De DJI Mavic 2 Pro is een fikse upgrade van een al ontzettend goede drone. Met de Mavic 2 schiet je video en foto’s van hoge kwaliteit, dankzij de Hasselblad-camera met grote 1 inch sensor. Je maakt hyperlapses met 1 druk op de knop. Topdrone voor profs. Alle belangrijke reviews! Geweldige upgrade van de Mavic ProDe DJI Mavic 2 Pro is een geweldige upgrade van de Mavic Pro, waar reviewers al lovend over waren. De nieuwe Mavic 2 Pro heeft een Hasselblad-camera met een flinke sensor (1 inch) aan boord. De lens heeft een aanpasbaar diafragma van f/ 360-graden obstakeldetectie, Hyperlaps, 4K-video, een maximale vliegtijd van 31 minuten, 8GB intern geheugen en nog veel meer mooie nieuwe en verbeterde Mavic 2 Pro op >>DJI Mavic 2 Pro op >>DJI Mavic 2 Pro op >>Highlights van de DJI Mavic 2 Pro: Hasselblad camera met 1 inch sensor Vliegtijd van 31 minuten Topsnelheid is 72 kilometer per uur Maak een indrukwekkende hyperlapse 360 graden object-detectie Verbeterde ActiveTrack Veel meer kleur en kleurdiepteDe Hasselblad-camera neemt 4 keer meer kleurniveau op per kanaal dan de eerste versie van de Mavic Pro.

En de topsnelheid is 72 kilometer per uur. Hiermee kun je maar liefst 4 minuten langer vliegen dan met zijn voorganger en vliegt hij 7 kilometer per uur sneller. Ook het bereik is uitgebreid met een volle kilometer: naar 8 kilometer. Maak een indrukwekkende hyperlapseAan een professionele hyperlapse heb je je vast weleens vergaapt: een timelapse waarbij ook de camera in beweging is. Met de DJI Mavic 2 kun je dat zelf, met één druk op de knop! Over unieke beelden 4 geweldige optiesJe beschikt zelfs over 4 opties voor hyperlapse: free, circle, course lock en waypoint. Bij free bedien je zelf de drone. In de circle-modus draait de drone een rondje om het onderwerp. Bij course lock houdt de Mavic 2 een recht pad aan. Heb je zelf in een route in je hoofd?

Met een geweldige zoomlens waarmee je waanzinnige parallax-beelden schiet. Benieuwd?Bekijk mijn review van de DJI Mavic 2 Zoom >> (Professionele) reviewers over de DJI Mavic 2 ProDe DJI Mavic 2 Pro heeft flink wat reviews gekregen. En zoals verwacht scoort hij uitstekend: dit is een draagbare topdrone die z’n weerga niet kent, vooral vanwege alle creatieve mogelijkheden en de uitstekende Hasselblad-camera. Echte concurrenten heeft hij niet in deze prijsklasse. En de concurrenten die enigszins in de buurt komen, zijn ook van DJI. Maar goedkoop is hij niet. Klantreview op “Fantastische drone voor de fotograaf die luchtfoto's en films wil maken! Hiervoor had ik een andere drone (Xiro), waarvan ik de vluchteigenschappen niet al te best vond. Ook de camera was niet geweldig. Deze camera en sensor van Hasselblad maakt wel verbluffende foto's, ook nog in RAW zodat je in de nabewerking je gang kunt gaan. De kwaliteit van de film in 4k is ook prima.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> Klantreview op “Zeer goede drone. De drone is zeer goed voor professionele mensen maar is ook goed voor beginners want er is daar een modus voor.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> Klantreview op “Waar voor zijn geld. Aanschaf prijs is hoog maar daarentegen heb je wel een drone die maar liefst 30 minuten in de lucht blijft, prachtige films en foto's maakt en daarbij gemakkelijk is mee te nemen omdat hij opvouwbaar is. De compactheid samen met de camera is voor mij de reden om deze drone te kiezen. Wanneer ik foto's of video's maak worden die automatisch met mijn telefoon gesynchroniseerd, ik kan ze dus direct kijken. Bediening is wel even wennen, je moet echt wel even een paar keer oefenen voordat je het onder de knie hebt. En daarbij komt er nogal wat bij kijken mbt wet en regelgeving. Je mag niet overal vliegen, je moet je drone registreren en als je hem commercieel wilt gebruiken dan moet je ook minimaal een roclight vergunning aanvragen. Maar, al met al geen spijt van.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> Klantreview op “Prachtig ding. Oneindig plezier! De Mavic 2 Pro is gewoon de max. De drone doet echt wat beloofd wordt en de kwaliteit van de camera is uitzonderlijk (zowel video als foto).Ik kan alleen maar aanraden de handleiding te lezen en de verschillende filmpjes op YouTube te bekijken alvorens aan de slag te gaan. Dit is geen goedkoop speeltje en je wil niet na de eerste vlucht in een boom of een muur belanden.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> Klantreview op “Ik had al eerder kennis mogen maken met de voorganger, de beeldkwaliteit is sterk verbeterd en de stabiliteit tijdens het vliegen is ook op een hoger niveau gekomen. Je ziet dat er in het design ook veel is geleerd van de voorganger, afneembare joysticks, platte kabel, meer sensoren en betere propellors die minder geluid veroorzaken. Ik ben tevreden met de technische kant, wel minder over de ondersteuning en firmware updates.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> Klantreview op “Al bij het uitpakken voel je dat je een stukje kwaliteit in handen hebt. Bij het uitschuiven van de poten voelt het geheel stevig aan. De Mavic Air in elkaar zetten is een fluitje van een cent en na een keer kalibreren en een firmware update, kun je direct de lucht in. Al bij het opstijgen valt op dat deze drone niet heel veel geluid maakt. Waar de Mavic Air klinkt als een zwerm boze bijen, maakt deze een wat 'serieuzer' geluid en heb je het idee dat je een imposante vogel de lucht in slingert. Eenmaal in de lucht schiet je de mooiste plaatjes. Ook voor de beginner zijn de DJI drones prima te besturen, zeker als je eerst even start met de 'beginner mode'. De foto's en 4K filmpjes van deze drone zijn adembenemend: veel detail en mooie kleuren. De Hasselblad lens doet z'n werk goed en de gimbal zorgt voor mooie, stabiele shots. De afstand is ook meer dan perfect. Het beeld blijft ook als de drone een kilometer bij je vandaan is erg stabiel en goed bestuurbaar. Mocht de drone toch buiten bereik gaan, is deze in staat zelf weer terug te vliegen naar het startpunt.” Bekijk alle reviews van kopers >> (Cam Bunton, full review): ‘High-tech drone krijgt een high five van Hasselblad’ kopt Cam Bunton boven zijn review. Er is een verdomd goede reden waarom DJI marktleider is op het gebied van drones. Het is de combinatie van high-tech features, vlieg-modes en video/beeldkwaliteit. Een onverslaanbare combinatie in deze high-end markt. Met de Mavic 2 Pro wordt deze reputatie alweer waargemaakt. De DJI drone line-up wordt nogal onoverzichtelijk als je kijkt naar het aantal modellen en de overlap die tussen de modellen zit. Het is lastig te zien waar de Mavic Pro precies past in deze line-up. Wie een superdraagbare drone wil, zal zeker kiezen voor de Mavic Air, die ook vol features zit maar veel kleiner en goedkoper is. Maar wie meer power nodig heeft in een drone die toch in een rugzak moet passen zal óf kiezen voor de Mavic 2 Pro óf de Mavic 2 Zoom. In ieder geval raadt de reviewer deze Mavic Pro zonder enige aarzeling aan: het is een extreem goede drone. (gebruikersreview): “De Mavic 2 Pro (en Zoom) is een mooie evolutie van de oude Mavic Pro (Platinum) en de Mavic Air. Alle goede punten van deze 2 drones zijn samen met talloze verbeteringen in de nieuwe Mavic 2 gestopt. Kost wat, maar dan heb je ook wat!” Eindoordeel: Uitstekend met 5 van de 5 sterren. (Sam Kieldsen, full review): Alle verbeteringen bij elkaar maken van de Mavic 2 Pro een fikse upgrade van de eerste versie van deze Mavic. Denk aan de langere accuduur, het stillere vliegen, het veel soepelere vleigen, de verbeterde stabiliteit en de handige veiligheidsfeatures. Maar wat echt de doorslag geeft waardoor deze Mavic 2 Pro zo goed is, is de nieuwe Hasselblad-camera en de 1 inch sensor. Die bieden de beste kwaliteit voor foto’s en video’s die de reviewer ooit heeft gezien in een drone uit deze prijsklasse. Dat maakt deze drone echt een verbazingwekkend goed apparaat. Om beeldkwaliteit te krijgen die zo goed is uit een opvouwbare drone is geen sinecure. En wil je een drone hebben die wat pittiger en ‘pro-vriendelijk’ is dan de DJI Mavic Air, dan zou je echt moeten overwegen wat extra geld te besteden en deze Mavic 2 Pro moeten aanschaffen. Eindoordeel: de Mavic 2 Pro is een echte premium drone die enorm veel ‘vliegplezier’ biedt. Kun je het extra budget ergens vandaan halen, dan raadt de reviewer deze drone aan boven de Mavic Air. Eindoordeel: 5 van de 5 sterren. (Fergus Halliday, full review): Zit je te wachten op een prosumer drone die compact, betrouwbaar en geavanceerd genoeg is om echt mee aan de slag te gaan? Dan is de DJI Mavic 2 Pro zonder enige twijfel de meest aantrekkelijke drone die op de markt is. Hij heeft eigenlijk geen enkele concurrent die tegen hem opkan. De Mavic 2 Pro is een opwindend staaltje van techniek In de juiste handen is de DJI Mavic 2 Pro een ongelofelijke tool voor het maken van films en foto’s. Toch is het niet een revolutie ten opzichte van z’n voorganger, want die was ook gewoon al goed. Maar vergis je niet, de DJI Mavic 2 Pro is zeker een drone die terecht een hype aan het worden is. Maar is hij het waard om dit forse bedrag voor neer te tellen. Dat is nog de vraag, aldus deze reviewer. Misschien wachten tot de prijs is gezakt? Eindoordeel: van de 5 sterren. (full review): Dit is een bijna perfecte drone. Zoek je een draagbare drone met een geweldige camera, dan is de Mavic 2 (ook de Zoom) bijna niet te verslaan. Het wordt heel lastig om een compacte drone te vinden die vergelijkbare features aan boord heeft. Sowieso zijn de enige waardige concurrenten van deze Mavic 2: een aantal andere DJI-drones. De reviewer noemt nog de Inspire en de Mavic Air die je in je overwegingen zou kunnen betrekken. Eindoordeel: 9/10. (full review): De Mavic 2 Pro springt boven de concurrentie uit dankzij z’n draagbaarheid en z’n beeldkwaliteit. Kijk je naar drone-beelden op Instagram, dan lijken ze allemaal nogal op elkaar en als je goed kijkt schiet de beeldkwaliteit tekort. De Mavic 2 Pro gaat dat zeker veranderen. Het is een geavanceerde drone, makkelijk in het gebruik en betrouwbaar. En dat is het fijne: je bent helemaal niet meer bezig met de vraag of je drone wel in de lucht blijft en nergens tegen aan vliegt. Dus kun je je veel meer aan de slag met alle creatieve mogelijkheden. En je concentreren op het schieten van mooie beelden. Deze Pro zet luchtfotografie en -videografie echt op een hoger plan. De videokwaliteit is merkbaar beter, veel beter dan je verwacht van een drone van dit formaat. De Pro maakt dat je anders gaat denken over de creatieve mogelijkheden die je uit een drone kunt halen. Eindoordeel: 9/10. (Stephen Loewinsohn, full review): De DJI Mavic 2 Pro is een uitzonderlijke goede drone, een waardige opvolger van de eerste versie. De Hasselblad camera levert foto’s van ongelofelijke kwaliteit. Dat maakt van de DJI Mavic 2 Pro een goede keuze als je zoekt naar beelden op het niveau van de professionele Phantom 4, maar dan met de draagbaarheid van de Mavic. Hij is flink duurder dan de vorige versie, maar de prijs/kwaliteit-verhouding ligt eigenlijk op een hoger plan. Toch zou de reviewer de DJI Mavic 2 Pro niet voor iedereen aanraden. Een dealbreaker kan het gebrek aan wifi-connectiviteit zijn voor sommigen. En als je niet alle nieuwe features nodig hebt, zijn er minder dure drones die vergelijkbaar design en mogelijkheden hebben. Maar geen enkele is zo goed en robuust als de DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Eindoordeel: 83/100. (full review): Geen twijfel over mogelijk: de Mavic 2-serie biedt de beste kleine drones die DJI ooit gemaakt heeft. Zowel de Zoom als de Pro van Mavic 2 bieden ongelofelijke specs, verpakt in een relatief kleine drone. De zoomlens van de Mavic 2 Zoom is bijzonder welkom. Jammer alleen dat je de camera’s niet kunt uitwisselen tussen beide modellen, zodat je ook de camera’s als accessoires kunt gebruiken. Vanuit een sportief standpunt is de Active Track een enorme upgrade van Active Track Die eerste versie stelde natuurlijk niet veel voor. De komt heel dicht in de buurt van perfectie. Toch werkt ook deze versie niet onder alle omstandigheden goed. De Mavic 2 is al met al de beste sport-tracking en allround cinematografische drone.
