DJI’s new drone is here: see the new Mavic Air 2.Asian drone maker DJI unveiled its new model on Monday, April 27, which will complement its drone offering and present an improvement over the DJI Mavic Air, launched two years ago. The new drone offers several important innovations, such as the possibility of recording video up to 8K, in addition to a longer battery life and longer flight range.
“The Mavic Air 2 makes a difference to us as it shows that the smartest consumer DJI drone to date does not have to be the biggest,” said Roger Luo, DJI President, in the announcement. “Our goal was to create a drone that offered the best comprehensive experience possible, even for the most novice pilot.” The Mavic Air 2 maintains a design very similar to that of its predecessor, but improves on several aspects. The new drone can now record 4K video at 60fps (frames per second) and 120 Mbps, making it the first in the Mavic family to offer this feature. Also, this model allows you to record in 8K, although do not get too excited since that resolution is only for Hyperlapse mode. This feature will be ready in a software update later. The rest of functions like QuickShot, Dronie, Helix and Rocket are available. An image taken with the DJI Mavic Air 2
