Product | Is Mavic Air 2 waterproof? | No. |
Product | How do I put on the ND filters? | Carefully hold the camera to prevent damage, and slowly rotate the filter to attach or detach it. Make sure the ND filter is mounted securely to avoid accidental detachment during flight. |
Safety & Obstacle Sensing | Does Mavic Air 2 feature an auxiliary LED light? | Yes. Mavic Air 2 has an auxiliary light for improved vision and safety in low light conditions, similar to the Mavic 2 series. |
Safety & Obstacle Sensing | Does Mavic Air 2 provide omnidirectional obstacle sensing? | No. Mavic Air 2 provides forward, backward, and downward obstacle sensing. |
Safety & Obstacle Sensing | What is the difference between APAS 2.0 and APAS 3.0? | APAS 3.0 has been dramatically improved compared to previous generations. The system generates a real-time map of its surroundings and currently offers the best obstacle avoidance available on a DJI aircraft. |
Safety & Obstacle Sensing | What is the difference between ActiveTrack 2.0 and ActiveTrack 3.0? | Integrating the APAS 3.0 obstacle avoidance system, ActiveTrack 3.0 has been greatly improved compared to ActiveTrack 2.0. Overall tracking capabilities have improved greatly and re-establishing tracking after the subject has been lost is faster than ever, all while actively avoiding obstacles. |
Remote Controller & Transmission | How has OcuSync 2.0 been improved? | OcuSync 2.0 supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. It features stronger interference resistance due to automatic frequency switching, delivering 1080p video transmission feeds at up to 10 km (when unobstructed, free of interference, and FCC-compliant). |
Remote Controller & Transmission | Does the remote controller support HDMI? | No. |
Remote Controller & Transmission | How can I improve signal reception? | The smartphone clamp of the remote controller houses the antennas. Make sure that the antennas are pointed toward the aircraft. Check the user manual for more information about setting the antenna direction. Additionally, ensure you are not wearing any transmitting wearables, and that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned off on your mobile devices. |
Remote Controller & Transmission | What are the advantages of the new remote controller? | The remote controller boasts a prolonged battery life of up to 240 minutes, a more comfortable grip, an improved antenna design, and a more convenient line of sight when looking from screen to drone. |
Camera | What photo resolutions and formats are available? | Normal photos can be taken in 12 MP or 48 MP, and RAW format is also available for more advanced editing. |
Camera | What video modes does Mavic Air 2 support? | Mavic Air 2 supports normal video at up to 4K/60fps and HDR video at up to 4K/30fps. Slow-motion videos are available in 1080p with up to 240 fps (8x slow-motion). |
Camera | Can I shoot in Dlog or a different flat color profile? | Mavic Air 2 offers D-Cinelike as a flat color profile. |
Camera | What are the advantages of the H.265 video codec? | The HEVC (H.265) is a more modern video codec than H.264; it retains more details and uses less storage space. |
Camera | Can I control the camera settings manually? | Yes. |
Camera | What is SmartPhoto? | SmartPhoto integrates scene recognition, HyperLight, and HDR into one mode for optimal results. Scene recognition optimizes different camera parameters for different scenes and supports intelligent recognition of five categories: sunset, blue sky, grass, snow, and green trees. Hyperlight optimizes photos taken at night or in low-light situations. HDR selects the best image from multiple layers thanks to an adaptive dynamic expansion algorithm that determines optimal parameters. |
Intelligent Features | In what Hyperlapse modes can I record in 8K? | 8K resolution can only be used in Free and Waypoint modes. |
Intelligent Features | What is FocusTrack mode? | FocusTrack consists of three different intelligent tracking modes, ActiveTrack 3.0, Point of Interest 3.0 (POI), and Spotlight 2.0. All three modes offer different tracking features for any situation. |
Intelligent Features | What intelligent flight modes does Mavic Air 2 support? | Mavic Air 2 supports QuickShot, Hyperlapse, and FocusTrack. |
