What are its chief advantages

It offers a stronger signal that travels further. You can compare the distance for all Mavic models here.

which Mavic models feature it?

The Mavic Pro has OcuSync and the Mavic 2 models all have OcuSync 2.0.

Interesting comparison and thanks. When you say "stronger signal that travels further" is this an advantage only for long distance flying when your drone is out of sight or is it an advantage for cautious flyers like myself who fly VLOS only?

It's vital to maintain a good signal even when flying within VLOS.

Thanks again. What are the differences/advantages of Ocusynch 2.0 over Ocusynch?

What are the differences/advantages of Ocusynch 2.0 over Ocusynch?

Per the Mavic 2 FAQ:

• OcuSync 2.0 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, featuring stronger interference resistance and auto-switching capabilities to deliver 8 km 1080p video transmission feeds (unobstructed, free of interference, and when FCC compliant).
  
  
• The OcuSync 2.0 latency is 40–50 ms shorter than drones that use OcuSync.

Also, the Mavic 2 is compatible with the new DJI Smart Controller.

A Mavic 2 Pro and a Mavic 2 Zoom, both with with Ocusynch 2.0, sell for about twice the price of a Mavic Pro with Ocusynch 1.0. Are they really 2 times better?

I bought my Zoom for 1250 euros, while Pro Platinum was sold for 1000.
M2p costs 1500 also.

So if the question is if M2 are 1,25 to 1,5 times better than MP, the answer is simple. YES.
