Drone - Mavic Pro 2 vs Mavic Air 2...

I have an Air 2 and a mavic mini. I will tell you that most of the drone community that own pro’s are upset because the air 2 has all the cool stuff with a lower price tag. The only downside is the size of the camera. Air has a 1/2 inch and pro has a 1”.

If you are a serious photographer looking for serious photographer quality, the phantom line is what you should be looking for. If you are just a hobbyist looking for cool shots with great quality, the air 2 should be your boo.

I honestly don’t see a reason at this time to get the pro. The price vs what you get just isn’t worth it while the air 2 is available.

I say all that to say this. The air 2 is a very very powerful drone for any price range and I would recommend that over anything else unless you are a professional photographer.

Also, without question, get the fly more combo. 1 battery just isn’t enough for anyone to do anything with except fly around and look at your neighborhood.

Thanks Jibba, that was a really helpful reply.

The mini has a good camera and it is a great travel drone. I love mine. The only place that it kinda sucks is the beach because it does not handle winds above 15mph well at all.

The mavic mini does most of what I need. Truth be told, the only reason I got the air 2 is I wanted more range. The mini goes out about 4000 feet away with no difficulty. The air 2 gets about 2 miles before I notice lag.

I’m in this boat. I have to buy one soon, but leaning toward the Pro 2 because I need the higher IQ for late evening shots. Disclaimer: I’m a professional photographer and part 107 pilot. If it weren’t for that, I’d take the Air 2 in a second.

If you are a serious photographer, you could almost certainly justify the pro or the phantom. The air 2 does have filters that come in the fly more combo that should make bright sky photography manageable. I am not a serious photographer so I have never really used the filters.

I just enjoy the flying.
