Just curious why I’m seeing a fair amount of people in this forum and elsewhere selling their superior Mavic 2 Pros for the overhyped Air 2?
Seems crazy to me, you’re only hearing the positive hype now and the cons for the Air 2 have just barely started to trickle into the discussion.
A couple examples, 1” sensor vs 1/2”, not truly a 48Mp camera on the Air it’s a 12Mp that can stitch together multiple photos to create the 48. Much better videos out of the Pro with its 10bit vs 8 bit. Props on the Air no longer have the failsafe method of attaching them correctly like the Pro has. Go4 app imo is way superior to the Fly app. In the Fly app the info on the screen is too opaque and gets blown out against the sky at times requiring you to tilt the gimble down just to see what battery you have left. No mini map always displaying, the new directional indicator is not as nice as the previous and on all the videos I watch it bounces around all over the place. The battery life on the Air has been very disappointing for some reviewers such as Billy Kyle. No scroll wheel on the controller for shutter and no pause button. That’s just a start so far from what I’m seeing. Personally if I owned a Pro 2 I’d hang on to it or at the very least if you’re gonna sell it do so for the Pro 3.
I myself have an Air 2 preordered, I sold my Pro Platinum to do so. I’d much prefer a Pro 2 but it’s nothin my price range.
