April 28,2020 – DJI a global leader in developing and manufacturing civilian drones and aerial imaging technology for personal and professional use, Announced the best drone for most people, the newest Mavic Air 2.
Mavic Air 2 has a significant upgrade on its predecessor and the new favorite flying camera. It offers improved range, a noticeably longer battery life, excellent 4K/60p video and a whole host of new shooting features, all for the same launch price as its predecessor. Minor niggles aside, it’s a superb choice for both stills photographers and filmmakers.
