DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is a foldable camera drone for creators who want a dynamic, variable‑focal‑length look in a portable airframe. A 12 MP 1/2.3‑inch CMOS sensor is paired with a 24–48 mm 2× optical zoom, plus up to 2× lossless digital zoom in Full HD to simulate a 96 mm telephoto view. Signature tools like the exclusive Dolly Zoom QuickShot, 48 MP Super Resolution (stitched from nine photos), and Hybrid AF with up to 40% faster focus expand creative options. The aircraft adds OcuSync 2.0 transmission with up to 8 km 1080p live video, omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS, ActiveTrack 2.0, a 3‑axis gimbal, up to 31 minutes of flight time, and 44 mph (72 kph) top speed.

Selling Points

  • 24–48 mm optical zoom enables creative perspective compression; exclusive Dolly Zoom QuickShot for cinematic effects.
  • 48 MP Super Resolution stills and Hybrid AF for faster, more accurate focusing.
  • Reliable OcuSync 2.0 digital link with dual‑band (2.4/5.8 GHz) and live 720p/1080p feed up to 8 km.
  • Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS and ActiveTrack 2.0 to help avoid collisions while tracking subjects.
  • Strong flight performance: up to 31 minutes per battery and 44 mph top speed in a compact, foldable airframe with 8 GB onboard storage.

Drawbacks

  • Smaller 1/2.3" sensor compared with the Mavic 2 Pro’s 1" sensor (less light‑gathering capability).
  • 4K video tops out at 30 fps; no 10‑bit Dlog‑M or HLG on the Zoom (D‑Cinelike only).
  • No adjustable aperture; the Pro variant offers an f/2.8–f/11 iris for exposure control.
  • Takeoff weight around 905 g—significantly heavier than sub‑250 g travel drones.
