DJI Mavic 2 quadcopter drones, Pro and Zoom comparison Automatic translate

Quadcopters are an ideal option for panoramic photography. They are cheap enough that a person can purchase them purely at the expense of his own resources. At the same time, the quality of photo and video shooting is high enough even for creating films. Quadcopters are easy to control, so even an amateur can handle them. Today we will compare two DJI Mavic 2 models – Pro and Zoom.

What kind of photos can you take with a drone?

You can take interesting pictures with the help of a lens: from a bird’s eye view you get beautiful pictures of any terrain, interesting compositions of shadows and other objects. Animals are not afraid of quadcopters, so you can fly closer to them and photograph them in their natural habitat. You can take “forbidden” angles near architectural monuments.

Comparison of Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom models

Now let’s compare the two latest models of Mavic 2 quadcopters – Pro and Zoom. Both devices are purchased for professional photography and have fairly high characteristics. Therefore, the main question is which device is better.

There are several shooting modes:

Dolly Zoom - on Zoom it is set automatically, and on Pro it is done in a few clicks during editing (the main thing is high-quality video).

Rocked – works the same in both versions.

Asteroid – available in Zoom and Pro.

Point of interest . The mode works in both models, but functions differently. The controls are better in Zoom, but in both devices it’s difficult to do this with stickers; you have to adjust the flight with your fingers on the display.

Super Resolution – stitching one photo from several images. The mode allows you to obtain large images in high resolution. Available in Zoom, not in Pro.

The main difference between the Zoom version is the ability to enlarge the image four times without a significant loss in resolution. On the other hand, the Pro camera has better dynamic range, more detail, better color reproduction, and it shoots well at night. In addition, the picture is less illuminated when the sun is located at the side.

Conclusion: Zoom can be compared to digital cameras, and Pro to optical and DSLR cameras.

A detailed comparison of Mavic 2 cameras can be found in the table:

Price: Pro costs more at $1,449 than Zoom at $1,249.

The technical characteristics of the drones themselves are the same in both versions:

• Flight time – half an hour;
• Range – 8 kilometers;
• Weight – 900 grams;
• Speed ​​– 72 km/h
• The automatic obstacle avoidance system includes cameras and IR sensors aimed in all 6 directions.

These quadcopters are loved for their compactness, quality of shooting and operation, as well as their relatively low price. The kit includes the drone itself, a control panel, a smart battery, blades, additional sticks, adapters and a charger. The robots fly smoothly, even in strong winds they stay level and do not hesitate.

Compared to previous models, the Mavic 2 has much better picture quality and improved handling. The new device flies very fast - 72 km/h. However, at high speeds the drone leans forward very much, rendering the front sensors useless and prompting a warning on the dial to turn them off.
