The Mavic Air 2 uses the D-Cinelike flat profile that’s similar to Dlog-M in that it needs to be processed during editing, but this profile is generally easier to color grade than Dlog-M. The Mavic 2 Pro can shoot in the Dlog-M color profile to capture a higher dynamic range, but the result is flatter colours and contrast so footage must be color graded during editing. Another difference that has become evident from this footage is that the Mavic 2 Pro camera has a much greater dynamic range than the Mavic Air 2. Looking at the footage of the solar farm, the Mavic 2 Pro appears to be able to much more effectively resolve detail when moving quickly above the panels and looking down on them. But the Mavic 2 Pro produces better quality video and stills overall.The Mavic Air 2 is a significant upgrade over its Mavic Air predecessor.Both drones offer flat video profiles for professional workflows.In real life flying situations, the battery life provided by the Mavic Air 2 does indeed exceed that of the Mavic Pro 2, although wind conditions, temperature and a minimum battery limit (for example, 20%) mean that neither drone will often reach these maximum amounts. Maximum flight time is advertised as 34 minutes without wind, while the Mavic 2 Pro is rated at up to 31 minutes at 25kph with no wind. When it comes to battery life, the Mavic Air 2 is the stronger performer despite using smaller and lighter batteries, but that’s testament to the rapid development of battery technology. This is most likely because while both drones use folding low-noise propellers, those on the Mavic 2 Pro are larger.ĭJI Mavic Air 2 battery (left) vs Mavic 2 Pro battery (right) (Image credit: Future) ![]() ![]() On paper, both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic Air 2 fly at near identical speeds and offer near-identical wind resistance, yet the Mavic 2 Pro looks and feels much more stable in the air. The Mavic 2 Pro features more obstacle avoidance sensors.The Mavic Air 2 offers a slightly longer battery life.Both drones use GPS and GLONASS satellite systems.In terms of functionality, at a software level the cameras are similar, but the Mavic 2 Pro features an adjustable aperture and autofocus, whereas the Mavic 2 uses a fixed f/2.8 aperture and hyperfocal focusing. Deciding between them comes down to weighing up how important these factors are to you. The difference between these sensors is most noticeable when shooting stills, but it also contributes to the physical size and weight difference between the drones. This compares with the smaller 1/2-inch 12MP sensor of the Mavic Air 2, which has a camera focal length equivalent to 24mm. The Mavic 2 Pro has a 1-inch 20MP sensor with a camera providing an equivalent focal length of 28mm. Of course, one of the biggest factors when deciding between these drones will be their cameras. This may not be all that useful at the moment since few people have 8K TVs, but this certainly provides a degree of future-proofing since this technology will become increasingly prevalent in the home. In terms of intelligent flight modes the two drones are again similar, and one doesn’t trump the other except for the Mavic Air 2 having improved follow/tracking modes and the ability to capture hyperlapses at up to 8K. ![]() This also extends to 4K video where the Mavic Air 2 again doubles the frame rate with video capture possible up to 60fps, compared to the Mavic Pro at 30fps.
