I agree it's pretty darn good, a huge leap above the
Mavic Air 1. Flying is so much more fun, and the much greater battery life along with lower noise make operation so much easier.
However I still think there are some improvements needed in the DJI Fly App, most of which are regressions from DJI Go 4. Here are my opinions:
1. DJI Go 4 always gives an indication as to which mode video mode you're shooting in, i.e. "4K 30" always shows on screen. By contrast DJI Fly makes you press an icon on screen to see this.
2. Camera/video settings are in different places. For example, to modify video settings for Quick Shot, you have to go to settings->camera, and then confusingly, this is where 1080p or 4K can be selected. Whereas for normal video, it's selected through the normal video option menu on the right side.
Thankfully these can and hopefully will be fixed in an App update.
As for the
MA2, it's almost perfect. Some things I wish were better:
1. Active Track doesn't support 4K @ 60 fps. Most likely this is a hardware constraint given the extra processing required using Active Track. A firmware update might be able to address this but I wouldn't hold my breath.
2. The controller removed some buttons as compared to the
MA1. Don't get me wrong, I like the
MA2 controller design much more, but compared to the
MA1's, there you had two customizable buttons, separate buttons for photo/video, and also a dedicated "pause/stop the aircraft in its current position" button. (That functionality is now combined with the RTH button - tap to pause, hold to RTH)
3. No side sensors. I know, you should always be flying responsibly but having this would have been a nice upgrade from the
MA1. DJI probably didn't include this to avoid feature parity with the higher-end
Mavic 2 Pros, and also to keep the cost down. But it would have been nice to have.
Having said that, I only got the
MA2 less than a month ago and have already flown 25% the total number of flights that I did with my
MA1. That's how much I enjoy flying it!
