Mavic 2 Pro with Hasselblad Camera

Co-engineered in partnership with Hasselblad after two years of tireless research, the Mavic 2 Pro comes equipped with the all-new Hasselblad L1D-20c camera. The L1D-20c possesses Hasselblad's unique Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) technology, helping users to capture gorgeous 20-megapixel aerial shots in stunning color detail.

1-inch CMOS Sensor

The brand new 1-inch CMOS sensor has an active sensing area four times more effective than the original Mavic Pro. The large sensor also means better performance in low-light environments with a more extensive ISO range, max ISO lifted from 3200 to 12800.

10-bit Dlog-M Color Profile

The Mavic 2 Pro supports a 10-bit Dlog-M color profile that yields higher dynamic range for more flexibility in the grading room. The system records over 1 billion colors (compared to the 16 million colors from traditional 8-bit color coding technologies) and retains more in-depth details in both highlights and shadows. Now you can capture the subtlest gradations at sunset or sunrise, leaving greater space for post-production.

HDR Video

With 4K 10-bit HDR support, the Mavic 2 Pro can be plugged into a 4K TV with HLG and will immediately play back footage with the right color tones. The brighter highlights and increased contrast are what make HDR video so appealing.

Adjustable Aperture

The f/2.8-f/11 adjustable aperture delivers outstanding image quality both in high and low-light environments. When shooting in low light, set the aperture to f/2.8 to allow more light in and to capture bright and clear photos. When shooting in well-lit environments, set the aperture to f/11 to lower the shutter speed and make your videos smoother.

Camera System - Shoot Like a Pro

Camera employs DJIs latest 3-axis gimbal technology, ensuring smooth, stable footage in just about any situation.

Hyperlapse

Say goodbye to complicated post-processing. With Hyperlapse, the aircraft shoots stable aerial shots and processes them automatically, enabling you to create professional-looking timelapses with a simple tap of a button, which you can share to social media immediately. Save a flight path in Task Library to fly the Mavic 2 through the path whenever you feel like it. JPEG and RAW photos can be simultaneously saved on a microSD card, leaving more room for post editing.

Enhanced HDR Photos

The Mavic 2 also supports enhanced HDR photos, an improved technique that blends a sequence of photos for ghost-free high dynamic range, offering increased image clarity while avoiding unwanted artificial effects.

HyperLight

Brighten up your world with HyperLight, a low-light setting designed to enhance your images while reducing noise significantly.

H.265 Codec for Higher Image Quality

Records 4K video at higher bitrates with advanced H.265 compression. Videos in H.265/HEVC codec maintain 50% more information than videos in H.264/AVC, creating high-quality videos with better-preserved details.

Signature Technologies

OcuSync 2.0 video transmission performance is greatly enhanced with improvements made to communication distance, video quality and anti-interference, offering you unprecedented control.

Powerful, Yet Safe

After countless hours of research and testing, the Mavic 2 has been optimally redesigned to increase 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.

Faster

72 kph Max. Speed

The rebuilt aircraft body presents better aerodynamic performance. The body drag of the Mavic 2 is 19% less than that of the Mavic Pro when flying at full speed.

Longer

31-Min Max. Flight Time

Longer flight time means more creative opportunities.

Quieter - Low-Noise Design

FOC sinusoidal drive ESCs and low-noise propellers make your flight incredibly quiet, eliminating any worries of disturbing your surroundings

Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing

FlightAutonomy has been upgraded to include Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing. For the first time in a DJI drone, obstacle sensors appear on all sides of the aircraft for greater safety during flight.

I use PolarPro ND Filters to achieve the inverse shutter speed for the frame rate and to allow slow shutter speeds for images.  I also use the PolarPro extendor legs and gimbal guard.  Blackmagic Designs DaVinci Resolve 16 is used to edit the RAW 10-bit videos.
