Exclusive: DJI Mavic Air 2 - price and photos of 2020's hottest drone

An online retailer accidentally posted a full gallery of photos of DJI's upcoming Mavic Air 2 drone, alone with the price — a surprisingly low $799.

Pretty good gallery here. Not much left to the imagination. $799 for this thing is bumping up against the Mavic 2 pretty hard.

Sincerely looks like a Mavic Mini Pro. Even likely using the Fly app? Man...

Disappointingly ugly and unoriginal. The original Air is a really sleek and unique Mavic. They should have stuck along those lines.

Nice

Sold my air this week in anticipation. While I really don’t care what it looks like, more interested in performance, I do like the new look.

Why do you think it’s bumping close the the M2?

48MP camera, looks like M2, 4K60 video, etc

Good to get in early before the market is saturated. I’ll be keeping mine. It’s size is the big advantage for me. I’ll be looking to replace my Pro when the next model comes out, so happy to miss this one. Still interesting to see the updates in the new version though.

The main reason I’m upgrading is occusync.

4K 60 is not confirmed.

Same here, just sold my Air. Will be either getting an Air 2 or 2 Zoom to replace it.

4K 60 is not confirmed.

With the camera, DJI would be mad not to put 4k in surely ?
Time will tell.

After it's introduction for a year or so, if no problems arise (like the Mini debacle) this might be an awesome replacement for my M1P.
Although it's much loved as my first drone, still flies A1, batteries all perfect, awesome kit with it, it might be getting near end of dependable life after 4-1/2 years.

Would it be in poor form to ask what you sold it for? (as in price). I got my Mavic Air new for $199.00 but really wouldn't consider selling it for close to that price.

It will have a 4K mode but 4K 60 specifically means 4K at 60 frames per second, the Mavic 2 series and original Mavic Air can only do 4K at 30 frames per second.

Ah good news.
The 48mp camera will be interesting, how to get that out of 1/2" sensor, when the Hasselblad 1" on the M2P is 20mp ?
Lots to confirm on release, but on the face of it the package looks like a winner all round.
Certainly tempt me after a good while in the market revealing any problems.

People act like technology doesn't upgrade with 2 years time from the Mavic 2 Pro. I'm sure they can manage something. People are getting defensive/denial because they're scared it might be closer to their M2P. The specs look good for what it is and no it won't outshine your M2P

Either by stitching a multi-image panorama like the Mavic 2 Zoom does or by fudging it as Autel does:

Either way .. it's not a real 48MP sensor and won't produce better images than a camera with a larger sensor.

How long do you expect it would be for any potential problems to surface? My concern with jumping right in on the Air 2 is the potential for issue like I'm reading about with the Mini. I'd imagine DJI would warranty any defect type issues, but obviously the downtime sucks.

Having sold my Air, I'd be lying if I said I'm not impatient to pick up a new drone. Whether that is an Air 2 or Mavic 2 has to wait a few more days.

A month should be more than enough time.

Agreed. I love everything about my MA except the range. Where I live and fly most, I get about 1250 ft and start to lose connection. Everything else is phenomenal.
