On April 28, DJI announced the launch of the new aerial photography flagship Mavic Air 2 (hereinafter referred to as Mavic Air 2), once again creating a milestone product in the industry with a new product concept and top design and development capabilities. This is DJI’s most “smart” aerial photography drone so far, and it is committed to bringing a comprehensive advanced experience to flying players and photographers who pursue the quality of aerial photography.
The Mavic family has continued to evolve and innovate since its birth in 2016, and aerial photography has become an increasingly popular way of creating images for consumers around the world. The portable and lightweight Mavic Air 2 perfectly integrates imaging, flight, intelligence and safety. It aims to greatly improve the output of high-quality aerial photography, lower the threshold of creation, innovate the experience of flying imaging, and stimulate the imagination of aerial photography.
Mavic Air 2 continues the folding structure of the Mavic series. It is equipped with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor that can shoot 48-megapixel photos, 4K/60fps video and 8K motion time-lapse video; the lightweight body weighs only 570g, bringing long It has a super battery life of 34 minutes and a high-definition digital image transmission distance of up to 10 kilometers; the new intelligent camera mode is stunningly unveiled, and a variety of intelligent functions are fully upgraded, integrating advanced 3D environment perception capabilities, allowing flying and shooting as you like.
Luo Zhenhua, President of DJI Innovations, said: “The Royal Air 2 is the most ‘smart’ aerial photography drone in DJI so far. Thanks to the innovation of DJI’s product concept and the continuous growth of technical capabilities, the Royal Air 2 will be Users bring a brand-new experience, and explore the infinite creative potential of the image world together with users. The mission of DJI is to be a pioneer in the era of spatial intelligence, to make the beauty of technology beyond imagination. The excellent performance of the ‘smart’ Mavic Air 2 vividly interpret at this point.”
A new concept, worry-free flying smart shooting
The new product concept contains profound UAV technology background, bringing a comprehensive upgrade of the flying experience. The fuselage of Mavic Air 2 has been redesigned, with a new power system and aerodynamic design. It weighs only 570 grams. Its light and small shape is as small as a mineral water bottle, but its power performance has been significantly improved. The maximum flight time has been increased to 34 minutes. The highest flying speed is 19m/s.
The low-latency, high-definition and stable image transmission system allows you to fly without fear. Mavic Air 2 is equipped with DJI’s unique OcuSync 2.0 image transmission system, which provides low-latency, stable and reliable 1080p/30fps high-definition video, with a maximum flight distance of 10 kilometers. Support 2.4/5.8GHz dual-frequency communication automatic switching, adjust to the best channel in real time, and improve the anti-interference ability in complex environments. It also has an ultra-fast download speed of 40Mbps for the original film, so that blockbuster movies can be obtained immediately.
Mavic Air 2 reconstructs the imagination of drone autonomous flight, and the newly unveiled APAS (Advanced Assisted Flight System) 3.0 realizes better autonomous path planning and sensitive obstacle avoidance, allowing you to focus on creation. APAS 3.0 uses advanced real-time global map construction technology and path planning algorithm, which is greatly improved compared with the previous generation. Mavic Air 2 can independently judge and plan a new path according to the distance of obstacles, smoothly follow and flexibly avoid obstacles in complex scenes.
Additionally, the Mavic Air 2 is packed with a robust safety system that makes flying not only an exhilarating experience, but a safe one as well. Majesty Air 2 adds the distance between obstacles and the fuselage in the 3D environment modeling, and can avoid obstacles in the best route; same as Majesty 2, Majesty Air 2 adds a downward-looking LED fill light, which can be used in dark environments. Automatically open to help visual positioning and safe landing, so that you can fly without fear of dark light.
Almighty and powerful, born for advancement
Mavic Air 2 opens up a new aspect of aerial imaging experience, and the all-round and powerful aerial imaging system is born for advanced creation. Equipped with a 1/2-inch sensor that supports Quad Bayer technology, the Mavic Air 2 is the first drone in the DJI Mavic series to record 4K/60fps video at 120 Mbps. Support H.265 encoding format, comparable to professional equipment.
For the first time, Mavic Air 2 supports HDR video, 1080p/240 fps slow-motion photography and more breakthrough one-button motion time-lapse video. Mavic Air 2 can record moving time-lapse videos with 8K resolution. The powerful flight platform can automatically complete the stabilization shooting and post-processing, allowing you to generate movie-level time-lapse videos with one click, and easily watch the time flow and the galaxy change.
Regardless of flying skill, powerful and intelligent technology will help your creation go further. Mavic Air 2 has a new “Focus Follow” function, which integrates APAS 3.0 technology, making complex flights more intelligent and easy. In photo or video mode, the user only needs to manually frame the subject, and the Mavic Air 2 will recognize it through visual tracking technology, keeping the subject in the frame, and the user does not need to worry about cumbersome composition. In addition, the smart following has been upgraded to 3.0, which senses the environment in real time through advanced map construction algorithms. After the user selects the following function, Mavic Air 2 can plan the best travel path, and it can also follow smoothly and avoid obstacles flexibly in complex scenes; Select the surround function, Mavic Air 2 can fly around the target by itself, and the camera is always facing the target to shoot. Whether it is following a person in motion or a speeding car, you can easily get a stunning and smooth cool blockbuster.
Users can also enable the one-click short video function to easily obtain rich creative and interesting videos such as skyrocketing, fading away, orbiting, spiraling, asteroids, and comets. Just tap the target, and the aircraft will automatically calculate the aerial photography route to shoot professional pictures, with stunning visual effects at your fingertips.
In addition, Mavic Air 2 can take 48-megapixel photos with higher dynamic range and color sensitivity. Mavic Air 2’s newly added smart photo mode includes three technologies: scene recognition, pure night shot and HDR, which can intelligently identify aerial scenes and optimize algorithms for different scenes; use multi-frame noise reduction algorithms to keep night scenes pure and transparent; HDR The technology can significantly improve the dynamic range of the picture under strong light, and fully explore the beauty covered by light and shadow. Users can also use the HDR panorama function to easily obtain detailed panorama images, and the vast scenery can be seen at a glance.
Innovation is more than a one-stop video creation experience
The new easy-to-use DJI Fly app provides a one-stop video processing experience, helping aerial photography creation and expression go further. The redesigned DJI Fly app brings a simple and intuitive operation experience, and adds rich post-processing functions to make creation easier and more interesting. The power consumption is greatly reduced, and the startup time is shortened, allowing you to quickly enter the aerial photography. The built-in DJI Mimo app editor provides rich editing templates and an intuitive track-based editing interface to make editing smooth and efficient. It can also easily share the work to social circles and gain the envy of friends.
