New Mavic II Specs Revealed....

[NiTRoX624]

Glad these are just rumors because $1299 price point is silly. Too close to the price point of P4Pv2.

Good stuff but you don't have to put the (2) after Mavic II

 

[Dave A]

Yep. He sometimes gets things right though.

Well anyone can put out what the specs of a new drone will be and probably get a few things right. Still just a bunch or speculation and click bait.

 

[Ken Nash]

The Osmo II was reduced in price so maybe the Mavic II will be reduced in price, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it might come free in my Kellogs Cornflakes like my P3P did.

 

[Clockman]

FYI, a lot of these "specs" came from OsitaLV's tweets.

Yes, and we all know how accurate everyone one of OsitaLV's Tweets are.

True. I was thinking more of the times when he quoted an accurate release date or posted legit leaked photos.

 

[Gizmo]

Personally I'm hoping for a DJI fixed wing drone, that's my dream, mix loooong battery range with Litchi

 

[Wowowee]

Bigger is a no buy from me, simple as that.

Thought that when a larger camera sensor was rumoured would mean larger Mavic.
I'd imagine it will be the size of a phantom when legs are stretched out.

 

[netfolks2000]

Yep. He sometimes gets things right though.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. (chuckle)

 

[Aerial West]

I wonder if bigger is referring to a unfolded size, or packed size.

im ina position wheres there's certainly a little room in my film pack for travel shoots for a mavic 2 with a great sensor that will match up better with my ground camera. for those times when the inspire 2 is not needed, but a little aerial is good.

 

[ed956]

Yep. He sometimes gets things right though.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day (once if 24hr mode!)!

PORTABILITY ...that's what makes the MAVIC a MAVIC

BINGO. I bought the Mavic because of its size. Technology advancements best sell when it goes like this: Small,faster,cheaper(price)... I am willing to pay a bit more for the latest technology but only if it goes in the right direction. Smaller, more flight time, more features.... NOT BIGGER. I think the size and price is what attracted all of use to the MAVIC. Why go bigger?? Bigger better = PHANTOM

I made a "wish list" today. One thing I forgot to mention in this video is better auto-focus!

 

[baddog]

Variable aperture of f/2.8-11 is a big deal if video is important to you.

Absolutely correct it would be my main interest in this drone. But a size increase would also weigh in on my decision so we will wait to see...

Bizzarely, in said Twitter feed are pictures that look like drawn with pencil (on a napkin from your favourite burger joint?). As if ANY tech drawing, from whatever source, will be drawn like this these days. As if any sighting of real drawings or the real thing would not be a JPEG from a mobile phone. And even if somebody can't take a photo or video, why would such, obviously tech savvy people, draw by hand and scribble annotations by hand?

All done to give it an authentic look, but fake it still is. Most likely.

 

[Brojon]

Variable aperture of f/2.8-11 is a big deal if video is important to you.

Not if it's like the Phantom 4 Pro/Adv where image quality degrades after only f 5.6

 

[ID77]

I’m comfortable with the size of my Mavic Pro, let’s wait until Mavic Pro 2 is released, a lot of rumors means a lot of confusion...

Is this a summer re-run?
