DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Specification

Overview

The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is a Multirotors drone that was released by DJI in 2018.

A multirotor drone is a multiple propeller, vertical lift drone. These drones are more maneuverable due to their flight profile, being able to fly much closer to buildings and other obstacles. Multi-rotor drones like the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom also tend to be faster to deploy, and tend to be significantly cheaper to acquire and operate.

The battery capacity inside is 3850 mAh.

Performance

The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom falls within an 'average' speed of drones with a max speed of around 72 km/h. If you're a beginner or even an intermediate drone user, than this should still be plenty. if you're looking for something a bit faster however, it'd be best to keep looking.

With a well above the average maximum range of 8 km, you're guaranteed a long-distance flight. Be assured you'll reach the distance you need, from the comfort of your mobile office, or even your couch, and know that your drone won't just disappear off into the distance.

The drone sits well within an average flight time when compared to other drones, with a maximum flight time of 31 min. This flight time will be plenty of the average user, and should give you more than enough time between charges. You can always bring an extra battery to swap out between flights, or just a battery pack to charge it up as you go should you need a little more flight time.

The best drone for those who need to get closer to the action

The Mavic 2 Zoom is easy to fly thanks to its onboard tech, and the intelligent flight modes make certain video effects possible at the touch of a button. Image quality, for both stills and video, is also good enough for professional use despite the small sensor, but the real jewel in the Mavic 2 Zoom's crown is that optical zoom lens. In this sense, it remains pretty unique in the field of folding, consumer drones.

This device doesn't have field-leading video, but the zoom lens allows for some interesting filmmaking opportunities

The Mavic 2 Zoom is a highly versatile drone in DJI's lineup thanks to great video quality, a portable form factor, and, most importantly, its novel 2X optical zoom lens. That zoom opens up a whole new world of creative opportunities, like dolly zoom effects and mind-warping orbit shots, as well as more subtle things like varying the focal length throughout your video. If you're chasing the absolute best video quality possible, you may want to consider other options, but overall, we think the Mavic 2 Zoom is a fantastic and high-performing consumer drone capable of helping you realize your creative vision.

The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is a superb drone for video purposes, not least because it provides the wherewithal to shoot subjects from further away and with a shallower depth of field. If aerial video is your main reason for buying a drone and you can’t afford the Pro version, then this model is more than good enough for the task.

Filming groups of people with drones can be tricky due to the minimum flying distances required by law, but the Mavic 2 Zoom solves this thanks to its optical zoom lens. Its smaller 12MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor means its overall image quality isn't quite up to the level of the Mavic 2 Pro, but it isn't far off and can shoot both Raw stills and video. Throw in DJI's sophisticated flight modes and the Mavic 2 Zoom's lightweight, foldable design and you have a drone that remains one of the best and most versatile out there.
