Having a larger sensor is nice, but for me, what really sets the Mavic 2 Pro apart from the other drones out there is the Hasselblad color science. It also helps with controlling the exposure better when you want to have a fixed shutter speed. Changing the aperture also allows you to get shots with the background slightly blurred out. To complement the larger sensor, the Mavic 2 Pro also has a larger lens with adjustable aperture controls. This gives the Mavic 2 Pro much better low light performance than the Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic Air while capturing higher resolution photos. This camera has a 1 inch 20 megapixel sensor (four times larger than the sensor on the Mavic 2 Zoom). Hasselblad was actually bought by DJI a while back and now the two companies have worked together to create the Mavic 2 Pro camera. If you aren’t familiar with Hasselblad, they’re a camera company that makes the best medium format cameras in the world. The thing that makes the Mavic 2 Pro stand out from the Mavic 2 Zoom and all the other drones out there is the Hasselblad camera.


The difference is in the Hasselblad Camera features like longer flight times, better obstacle avoidance, the LED fill light, Ocusync 2.0 and more are all standard on both Mavic 2 models. The Mavic 2 Pro has all of the same general features of the Mavic 2 Zoom. If you want to know about the mavic 2 in general, read the Mavic 2 Zoom description.

Those who need to capture more dynamic range in harsh lighting conditions, and at those times when you need colors to look just right. Those who want to travel light but capture in the dark. It’s the drone for pros who are looking for that next level cinematic image quality. The Mavic 2 Pro is really a self explanatory drone. Drones like the Inspire 2 will get a lower overall rating because of how large they are. Portability may not be important to you, or it could be one of the only things you care about, so that’s why we included it. We also look at things like obstacle avoidance, visual tracking, sensor redundancy and more. Things like whether or not the drone has self leveling capabilities, GPS, or return-to-home features are obvious on the camera drones, but for the toy and racing drones, you will see that they get lower ratings for not having these features. We don’t take into account if the battery of each drone is capable of reaching these distances, because that will depend on each individual situation.įlight Autonomy is more than just obstacle avoidance. Range is how far each drone can go in a low interference environment. Speed is how fast each drone can go, but also how agile it is in the air. These numbers are based on the maximum flight time each drone can achieve. Things like software, initial setup, safety features, and how long it takes to get it flying are the main factors we look at here.įlight time is simply how long the drone can stay in the air compared to the others on the list. With all of the factors we take into consideration in this category, you can be sure that the drone with the best rating will indeed have the best camera onboard.Įase of use is another complicated thing to rate. This is a very important rating to look at. We take into account things like how hard it was to manufacture each drone, how well the software works, and if there are any cheaply made components.Ĭamera quality is hard to rate, but we think we’ve come up with a good number based on the look of the image each drone is able to produce, the sensor size, the shooting resolutions, and whether or not the drone has additional features like changeable lenses or ND filters. Product quality is how well the product was built. Just because a drone is high or low on the list, the categories that are most important to you are ultimately what will determine the drone you decide on. They are all based on real factors and can be used to help you decide which drone is right for your needs. These ratings are not something you should overlook. Once each category is rated, the main number is generated from the average of all the individual categories. We rate each drone based on product quality, camera quality (for the drones with cameras), ease-of-use, flight time, speed, range, flight autonomy, and portability. There are 8 different factors that determine how each drone is rated.
