DJI Mavic Air 2 specs

The Mavic Air 2 sits right between the Mavic Mini and the Mavic 2 Pro. At 570g, it is heavier than the original Mavic Air but it now packs a larger 3,500mAh battery that is rated to provide up to 34 minutes of flight time.

In the imaging department, it comes with a 48MP 1/2.0″ CMOS sensor attached to a 3-axis gimbal. It can record up to 4K60fps videos and up to 48MP stills. It is also capable of doing 240fps slow-mo at 1080p and HDR video at 4K30fps.

As expected, it packs a number of QuickShot features such as Boomerang, Asteroid, Rocket, Circle, Helix and there’s also a new 8K Hyperlapse mode. The controller for the Magic Air 2 is huge and it supports OcuSync 2.0 transmission technology that has a rated range of up to 10km. To minimise accidental crashes, the drone is also equipped with Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) 3.0.

With a starting price of RM3,299 in Malaysia, it is slightly more affordable than the US market which retails for USD 799 (about RM3,472). Meanwhile, the Fly More Combo in the US retails for USD 988 (about RM4,293).
