DJI Mavic Air 2 is a compact, foldable camera drone that blends high-grade imaging with intelligent flight and enhanced safety. It captures up to 4K/60 fps video at 120 Mbps and high-resolution 48 MP photos from a 1/2-inch Quad Bayer sensor, adds 8K Hyperlapse, and extends airtime to a maximum of 34 minutes. OcuSync 2.0 provides a reliable HD live feed and long-range control, while APAS 3.0 obstacle avoidance and (initially in North America) AirSense ADS-B further elevate situational awareness. FocusTrack (ActiveTrack 3.0, Spotlight 2.0, POI 3.0) and QuickShots make cinematic results easy right in the DJI Fly app. (dji.com)

Selling Points

  • Strong image quality for its class: 48 MP stills and 4K/60 fps video at 120 Mbps.
  • Long 34‑minute max flight time in a compact, foldable airframe.
  • OcuSync 2.0 long‑range, reliable HD link up to 10 km (FCC) with low latency.
  • APAS 3.0 obstacle avoidance plus front/rear sensors and bottom auxiliaries for safer flight.
  • FocusTrack suite (ActiveTrack 3.0, Spotlight 2.0, POI 3.0) eases subject tracking and framing.
  • 8K Hyperlapse and rich QuickShots enable cinematic results with minimal setup.
  • Launch price delivered strong value versus peers at $799 USD (standard kit).

Advantages supported by DJI’s announcement and product specs. (dji.com)

Drawbacks

  • Smaller 1/2" sensor compared with larger‑sensor models, limiting low‑light performance.
  • No 10‑bit Log profiles; color options limited to Normal and D‑Cinelike.
  • Obstacle sensing lacks lateral/top sensors (front/rear + downward only); not full omnidirectional.
  • Above 250 g, so registration and additional rules apply in many regions.
  • HDR video capped at 4K/30 fps.
  • AirSense (ADS‑B) availability at launch limited to North America, varying by region.
