Is a DJI Mavic 2 Pro a dodo

The M2 has entered End of Support, so it is technically obsolete. No longer receiving No-Fly-Zone updates could be construed as an unsafe aircraft. Currently, we are recycling out about 6 drones and 40 batteries.

The only No-Fly-Zone update for any DJI aircraft now is the FlySafe database update to permanently remove GEO. QED.

I have had several inquiries about purchasing batteries and drones. We have deprecated them as a Capital Expense over 5 years, and they now have no economic value. IRS would not allow the sale. All our drones have a 5-year lifespan and are then replaced. We drill out the HD, and a vendor signs off on the destruction.

I assume you mean depreciated, rather than deprecated. LOL!
I rather liked my Mavic 2 Pros, and would never speak ill of them.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum so be nice if I miss anything.

Anyways, I have had a DJI Mavic Air 2S for a while now and want to venture into professional drone photography as this seems to be the most lucrative, at least where I live.

My funds are extremely low and I can afford a DJI Mini 4 Pro but I have been looking at the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and although it is much older, and has more restrictions in-place, it seems to be a better drone for photography and I can get it for much less, used than than a Mini 4 Pro.

Is a DJI Mavic 2 Pro a dodo? or is it worth buying it as it has a better lense, variable aperture and much stronger in winds?

Ignoring the restrictions and age. What do you think?

Any opinions would be helpful

I wouldn't buy such an old drone.

Why not? The Mavic 2 Pro is tried and true. The only real limitation of the Mavic 2 Pro over newer drones is the limited light time. Its 20MP camera and 1” sensor are otherwise certainly on a parity with all newer drones except the Mavic 3 series with the larger MFT sensor. It creates stunning 360° spherical panoramas.
