The drone did a pretty good job of adjusting the exposure as I panned the camera from the darker ground to the brighter, overcast sky.ĭJI claims the Mavic Air 2’s flight time is 34 minutes under ideal conditions that’s 14 minutes longer than the Mavic Air, and a few minutes longer than the Mavic Mini. The blossoms of cherry trees were lush and pink, and the grass beneath was as verdant as the spring day. The Air 2 can also capture HDR video, but the max resolution for this mode is 4K/30fps.Īs with other DJI drones, I marveled at the stability of the video footage I shot using the Mavic Air 2 it was as smooth and stable as if I had the drone mounted on a tripod.

It can also record 4X and 8X slow-motion video, as well as 1080p video at 240 fps. The Mavic Air 2 can record video up to 4K at 60 frames per second, twice that of the Air, which maxed out at 4K/30 fps.

Similar to previous models, the Mavic Air 2 can take HDR photos, but the Air 2 takes a series of seven photos to blend together, versus three for the original Air. This feature wasn’t available during my time with the drone, but will be available at launch.Īnother feature aimed at helping photographers is SmartPhoto the Mavic Air 2 will be able to recognize five categories of scenes - such as sunsets, blue skies, grass, snow, and trees - and optimize the camera settings accordingly. I’m also looking forward to testing out Hyperlight, a new feature where the Air 2 takes multiple low-light photos, and merges them into one, brighter image. In the few photos I was able to take, this feature seemed to work well I was able to blow up a photo of an ornamental cherry tree much larger than a similar photo taken under the Air 2’s normal camera settings. While it has the same 12MP resolution as the Air, the Mavic Air 2 has a larger 1/2-inch image sensor (versus 1/2.3-inch sensor on the Air).Īdditionally, the Mavic Air 2 can take high-resolution 48MP photos using a Quad Bayer sensor and a technique called pixel binning. While the Mavic Air never went more than 400 feet away from me, I never noticed any interference or interruption of the feed from the camera.

Of course, you should only fly a drone where you can still see it, but it’s a pretty impressive range.

The controller also has an improved 10km transmission range, so you can feasibly fly the drone up to six miles away, and still get a clear picture on your smartphone’s display. Because the remote is so much larger, it looks much more spartan than DJI’s other controllers, even though it has a few more buttons.Īt first, I thought I wouldn’t like the larger, heavier controller, but as I flew the Air 2 around, I liked having my iPhone’s display above the joysticks, rather than below. Instead of two downward-folding arms, which cradled your smartphone between your palms, the controller now has a spring-loaded bracket that extends upward from the top.Īs before, the controller has two control sticks, which unscrew so you can stow them in the bottom of the controller. It’s now much more substantial, almost twice the size as previous DJI controllers. The biggest difference that you’ll notice at first glance between the Mavic Air 2 and its predecessor involves the controller, which is completely redesigned. This feature, called AirSense, will only be initially available in North America, due to the coronavirus a version of the Mavic Air 2 without AirSense will be sold in all other regions, but a version with AirSense will be available globally by this summer.

However, this is only available when shooting video up to 4K/30 fps APAS turns off automatically at higher framerates.Īdditionally, the Mavic Air 2 is the first of DJI’s drones that can receive ADS-B signals from piloted aircraft, and show their location on the controller screen. When enabled, APAS will plot a course around any object that comes into the flight path of the drone. In addition, the Air 2 has the latest version of DJI’s obstacle-avoidance system, Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) 3.0. (The Mini only has sensors on the front and bottom). Similar to the Mavic Air, the Mavic Air 2 has sensors on the front, bottom, and rear to help it avoid objects. DJI Mavic Air 2 (left) and Mavic Mini (right) (Image credit: Tom's Guide)
