DJI is now the leading manufacturer of drones for consumers. Jim and Fred review the latest version of the Mavic 2, which comes in two models - The Zoom and the Pro. This review covers the Zoom model. Both drones are identical except for the cameras. The Zoom features a 1/2.3" sensor but the camera is fitted with a 2x optical zoom. The Pro model has a Hasselblad branded camera with a 1" sensor and a variable aperture, but no zoom. Both models features 360 Obstacle avoidance in some flight modes, 31 minute flight time, low-noise props, 44 mph in sport mode, and Occusync 2.0 Wifi for sending HD video to the transmitter from up to 5 miles away. The Mavic 2 Zoom has a MSRP of $1249 and the Mavic 2 Pro is listed at $1499.
