Drone superstar company DJI has just released their newest product – The Mavic Air 2! We have been fans of DJI for a long time so of course, we were eager to find out what’s new (and find out the price tag for this new bit of gear).

To get a feel for what’s new, we have compared the Mavic Air and the Mavic Air 2. Let’s have a look at the specs:

Mavic Air Size – 168 x8 3 x 49 mm (folded) Weight – 430g Camera – 12mp 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor Video – 4k at 30fps. 108- up to 120 fps Flight time – up to 21 minutes Max speed – 68.4kph Video Transmission – 4km at 720p Price – $1,299 Mavic Air 2 Size – 180 x 97 x 84 mm (Folded) Weight – 570g Camera – 48mp 1/2″ CMOS sensor Video- 4k at 60fps. 1080 up to 240fps Flight time – up to 34 minutes Max speed 68.4kph Video Transmission – 10km at 1080p Price – $1,499 AUD

Surprisingly, The new Mavic Air 2 is actually a little bit bigger than the original Mavic Air…but there’s a major upgraded to the camera and DJI have significantly improved the flight time. The controller has also been improved. The phone handles at the bottom have been removed. Your phone now gets mounted on the top of the controller with a slide-out holder. This is handy for different sized phones or bulky cases. You also don’t have to worry about any antennas.

Here is where you can find the DJI Mavic Air 2.
