The DJI Mavic Air 2 has a new design that is slightly bigger than its predecessor but again it is way smaller than its competitors. It comes with a new controller. The redesign is to provide significant improvements in all areas, including image quality, speed and flight time.
With a weight of 570 grams, it’s just over half the weight of the Mavic 2 Pro which makes it easily portable. It has new motors, new electronic speed controllers, improved battery technology. They provide increased flight speeds of up to 42 mph in sport mode and a flight time of up to 34 flights. It’s flight time is three minutes longer than the Mavic 2 models.
The Mavic Air 2 provides obstacles sensors in the front and rear of the drone that when it’s switched on can help avoid a collision.
The camera lens of Mavic Air 2 provides a full-frame equivalent focal length of 24mm with a fixed f/2.8 aperture. But despite this limitation and the lens focus being set to hyperfocal distance, depth-of-field is large enough to keep close and even deep landscape scenes sharp throughout.
Mavic Air 2’s image quality is massively improved compared to its previous model. The 12MP 1/2-inch Quad Bayer sensor provides significantly cleaner images at all ISO levels.
Images are sharpest in the center of the frame with a drop off the closer you get to image edges. This is the same with all Mavic drones, but the edge sharpness of the Mavic Air 2 is greatly improved compared to its predecessor.
For photographers, several functions are designed to help you to shoot better images with ease. But like scene modes on compact cameras and entry-level DSLRs, if you’re an experienced photographer you can achieve better results shooting Raw (DNG) and using manual shooting and editing techniques instead of the features. All of the following features produce JPEGs rather than Raw files.
HDR video is available at 4K, 2.7K and FHD at up to 30fps.
4K is available up to 60fps, 2.7K up to 60fps and FHD up to 240 fps.
4K is available up to 60fps, 2.7K up to 60fps and FHD up to 240 fps.
The drone is available in two bundles. The ‘standard’ package, which includes the Mavic Air 2 drone, one battery, the remote controller and all the required wires and cables, costs Rs. 60,900. That’s exactly the same as the original DJI Mavic Air, which makes it good value considering the new tech on board.
If you’d rather do longer shoots with your drone and have a more convenient way to carry it around, then there’s also a ‘Fly More’ bundle. This includes all of the same items as the standard package, plus a shoulder bag, ND (neutral density) filters, a charging hub and two extra batteries. It costs Rs.75,300 and is the best choice for more seasoned fliers.
