This guide takes you into the world of long range drones with
high-quality cameras.
The more quality features a consumer drone has, the higher the price tag.
This means that if you want your drone to travel a range measured in kilometers
or miles, then you should expect to pay close to $1000.
The longer your flight range, the less chance there is of losing the signal
and subsequent control. The real benefits, though, lie in the videography and
photographic potential at your fingertips.
The two major advantages are:
1. Reach greater altitudes (height from ground level)
2. Fly much further distances from you and your controller
24-48mm Optical Zoom Camera
Powered by a 1/2.3-inch 12MP sensor with up to 4x zoom, including a 2x optical zoom (24–48 mm), the Mavic 2 Zoom is all about dynamic perspectives. Capture everything from wide angle to mid-range shots for even more creative option
Flight Safety
Powerful, Yet Safe
The Mavic 2 was designed to optimize propulsion, lower power consumption, and reduce noise. These subtle yet powerful improvements, along with an improved FlightAutonomy system, offer a smoother, quieter flight for greater discretion and safety.
The Future of Possible

Wide to
Telephoto Shooting Potential
DJI’s
Mavic 2 Zoom is a high-quality filmmaking drone that sports a 12-megapixel
1/2.3” sensor. It’s 2x 24–48mm optical zoom capability lets you shoot wide or
get closer to the action. The narrower 48mm telephoto end compresses
perspective to produce a definitive cinematic look. It’s the quad’s zoom
potential that gives the Mavic 2 Zoom a creative edge not found on other
models.
The
zoom camera’s 3-axis gimbal does a great job of keeping stills and video
steady. Pilots can save footage directly to the quad’s 8GB internal storage.
There’s also SD card support up to 128GB.

Shooting Functions
Shooting
functions for the Mavic 2 Zoom include the QuickShot Dolly Zoom feature. It
records video while flying backward but with little movement of the main
subject. Dolly Zoom is only available with the Mavic 2 Zoom. Other shooting
features include ActiveTrack 2.0, Hyperlapse, and Omnidirectional Obstacle
Sensing. Two more are the craft’s Low-Noise Design and HDR Photos.
The
real-time live view and stunning 4k video are significant details, but there’s
so much more. DJI’s latest camera quad has a lot of impressive stuff that’s
both practical and easy to absorb.
Mavic 2 Zoom VS Mavic 2 Pro
There’s more that unites these long-range, long-flight DJI drones than separates them. However, there are a couple of differences that are sure to affect the buying decisions of Mavic 2 fans. One is their cameras, and the other’s the price. The Zoom version costs around 300 dollars less than the Pro.
The cameras for Mavic 2 Zoom and Pro are worlds apart. The Pro has a fixed lens, and the Zoom has a variable lens for more creative shots, but that’s not all. The latter is the only civilian drone that can shoot in 4K resolution with an optical zoom. It may seem like the Mavic 2 Zoom is the clear winner but not so fast. The fixed camera on the Mavic 2 Pro is a world-class Hasselblad.
Hasselblad is a global leader when it comes to superior cameras of various formats. The one on the Mavic 2 Pro boasts a 1” 20MP sensor and adjustable aperture. It has definite quality advantages over the Mavic 2 Zoom. For example, better image clarity, more vivid colors, and less overall noise.
Easy Decisions
The Zoom version is an easy decision for anyone who wants or needs aerial zoom capability. The Mavic 2 Pro is the ideal choice for drone pilots who don’t need zoom and demand the best optics around.
