DJI MAVIC 2 PRO REVIEW

DJI have just released 2 new drones. People have been waiting awhile for the Mavic 2 and they were delivered in 2 flavors:

• DJI Mavic 2 PRO: Featuring a Hasselblad 20mp camera with 1″ sensor and 10-bit color for video.
• DJI Mavic 2 Zoom: Featuring a optical zoom lens and a special feature called Dolly Zoom (Think Alfred Hitchcock).

This review is on the Mavic 2 Pro and includes examples of unprocessed video and photos from the new camera.

The Mavic 2 Pro drone with the Hasselblad is my weapon of choice. I have always liked the portability of the Mavic with the fold out arms and smaller remote, but I have preferred the camera on the Phantom 4 pro which is very impressive. Could it be that DJI have now combined both of these great qualities into a single drone? If that’s the case, I’m selling all my other drones and getting 2 of these. Check out the video and see if this is “the drone you are looking for” of not. I am analyzing photos and video and will be posting a follow up to this really soon where I compare the Phantom 4 PRO camera, to the Mavic 2 Pro’s camera.

In a rare move, DJI started shipping Mavics on announcement day and I can confirm it took less than a week for me to receive mine.

Here is a zoom in, to show some detail. (This is using the standard shooting mode, not the special low light – Ill get some tests of that soon.)

1. Since I have the Mavic Pro and the P4P, I am thinking I’ll stick to what I have and see what’s next from DJI
