In retrospect, 2016 seems to be a long way off. After Dajiang "Royal" Mavic Pro cried GoPro Karma released a few weeks ago, a textbook combination of Spark and Mavic Air swept the whole consumer UAV market.
After two years of waiting, in the late summer of 2018, Dajiang released the new "Royal" Mavic 2, which is still two sets. They are The Mavic 2 Pro with a 1-inch Hasselblad camera and the Mavic 2 Zoom with 2x optical zoom. Many users who hold coins to wait and see are faced with difficult choices in an instant. We Love to play computer games As one of the top 500 evaluation institutions in the world, it naturally got new opportunities at the first time, Now let's talk about our feelings after spending half a month with Mavic 2 。

This generation uses clamshell packaging. In addition to aircraft/remote control/charger, there are three kinds of data lines for interface, and a pair of spare propellers (noise reduction propellers) and spare rocker are also sent out of the factory.
The "Mavic 2 Universal Accessory Bag" worth 1999 yuan is a one shoulder portable bag that can hold a full set of charging tools at one go. It includes two smart flight batteries, a Mavic 2 charging steward who charges four batteries at a time, a car charging converter, two pairs of propellers, and a adapter that turns the battery into a dual USB charging bank (it is measured that Apple devices can charge up to 10W).
The color matching of Mavic 2 is very similar to the platinum version of Mavic pro, and the outline of key changes:
But the fuselage is slightly larger, The weight increased from 734 to 905g ；
Battery capacity also soared by 36%, The endurance increased from 27 minutes to 31 minutes ；
The speed also changed from 65 km/h refers to 72 km/h 。
The overall design is more concise and mellow. It is still a shark head design, and the belly of the machine has become smooth. The most obvious feature of the fuselage is that there are many cameras. This time, there are binocular cameras at the front, rear and bottom, monocular cameras at the left and right Plus the PTZ camera, there are nine cameras 。 In addition, there are infrared sensor systems at the top and bottom, and two high-power fill lights at the belly.
True · Violent disassembly of cloud deck (dangerous action, children are not allowed to imitate)
The workmanship of the Mavic 2 is solid and exquisite, and it has great weight. In order to make the small body of the Mavic 2 hold the new camera, the new PTZ is fixed on both sides of the camera and the base. The appearance is more concise than the previous generation, but the interior is more complex, The "violence aesthetics of engineers" is revealed everywhere, and the mechanical structure is still exquisite enough to be described in dirty words.
The remote control of the Mavic 2 has also become a detachable rod. The new OCUSYNC 2.0 image transmission has 2.4G+5.8G dual frequency, theoretical download bandwidth of 40Mbps (equivalent to 5MB/s), 120ms delay, and the maximum distance from 7km to 8km. 1080P real-time images 8 kilometers away can realize many bold ideas.
Camera upgrade point
The Mavic 2 zoom version uses the same sensor as the Mavic pro, but it has the first optical zoom lens on a consumer UAV. Note that this is a really continuous zoom lens, not the "fixed focus dual camera" like the mobile phone.
The professional version is even more exaggerated. The same body is equipped with a 1-inch bottom 20 million pixel Hasselblad custom camera with a variable aperture (F2.8-F11, shooting moving objects in the sun, which can extend the shutter by narrowing the aperture to reduce the sense of movement), The Dlog-M mode with 10bit color depth can shoot 4K 10bit HDR video, and the enhanced HDR mode can shoot 14EV tolerant photos. The shooting ability and performance have increased significantly.
Hasu medium frame A5D aerial camera
Hasu is the one who landed on the moon. The last time Hasu mixed with Dajiang UAV, it was the medium frame aerial camera A5D of Hasu that was carried in the Jingwei series. It was moved by 100 million pixels.
If you don't know what Hasu believes in, you can probably understand it by looking at the price. Mavic 2 Pro can "suck" Hasu with the money of one lens, which is honest. Young people's first Hasu, Wen.
Movic 2 Pro version live test
The idea of Mavic 2 Professional Edition is that miracles can be found at the bottom. 1 inch 20 million pixels, 2.4 if nothing unexpected μ M is the unit pixel. What is this concept? Sony Black Card, Genie 4 Pro and Chansi X4S (the flagship of the bare machine starting at 17999) are all close to the specifications. The previous generation and zoom version of the 12 megapixel 1/2.3 inch sensor, the unit pixel is 1.55 μ M or so.
This gap is like using a 40 megapixel Huawei P20 Pro (equivalent to 2 after four in one) μ m) Bullying iPhone X (1.22 μ m）。 The photo quality of the portable UAV can finally explode the flagship mobile phone The direct effect of the big bottom is that the tolerance is significantly improved. It's not advisable to shoot seascape in sunny days. It's wonderful to open a Dlog to shoot 10bit HDR video. The highest ISO has soared from 3200 to 12800, and the dream of taking pictures of city night scenes with Mavic when traveling can come true (provided that the corresponding city is not in the no fly zone. Warm reminder, remember to check in the DJI app before taking the plane).
It should be noted that although the Mavic 2 has added a fill light on the belly to assist in landing and positioning in darkness, But at night, if visual obstacle avoidance does not work, it is necessary to pay extra attention to the life safety of UAVs. In addition, the fill light is really shin bright, so it may be appropriate to call the searchlight, and the flashlight for emergency use in the field is completely OK.

The selling points of the zoom version are playability and shooting techniques. Everyone thought that the first zoom camera of a consumer UAV would appear on Genie 5, which has not yet been released. As a result, Dajiang still did not follow the routine. The 48 mm medium focal section of the Mavic 2 zoom version is suitable for shooting people and objects. For safety reasons, the photographer should not fly too close. After the optical zoom is available, the lens can be zoomed in for larger close-up, which is impossible for Hasselblad.
In addition, the zoom version adds phase focusing, claiming to increase the focusing speed by 40%. It is actually not as easy to focus on virtual objects as the Hasselblad version when chasing high-speed objects. But after all, it is 1/2.3 inch bottom, and only F3.8 aperture will be left after being pulled to 48mm telephoto, After the light becomes worse, try to avoid zooming to avoid strong noise and smearing affecting the picture.
After having the zoom ability, many people subconsciously think of Hitchcock zoom, that is, when the lens recedes, the focal length is lengthened to keep the main body unchanged, but the effect of rapid compression or stretching of the background is really achieved in the one button short film function by Dajiang. Find a scene with depth. One point, the effect of the circle of friends is outstanding (manually funny).
Intelligent function improvement
Intelligent functions are the focus of the upgrade two years later. Officially, the computing performance of the Mavic 2 has been improved twice. Previously, the APAS (Advanced Assisted Flight) on the Mavic Air and the Huipai function of visual recognition were added to the Mavic 2. Smart follow, interest point surround and waypoint planning are all upgraded to version 2.0 。
To sum up, it is mainly to add depth of field information, which can predict the target path (after being blocked by obstacles, it can also follow), APAS can plan the route to bypass the front, and even continue to take photos of the obstacles behind, and waypoint planning can directly point on the map, without the need for drones to fly in person. The most arrogant thing is that we can now follow at a speed of 72km/h!!!
It should be noted that the new monocular obstacle avoidance perception is used in the intelligent follow and tripod modes. Even if it is intelligent, such as Mavic, or Xiaobaikaido, as a pilot, you should pay attention to the surrounding environment and protect your aircraft and surrounding obstacles. Tang Seng said: It's not good to bump into flowers and grass.

Time delay photography is also a function that everyone thinks will be added by Genie 5. It is suitable for taking pictures of clouds, sunset clouds, and urban optical flow, which have a time span. The four modes currently provided are basically the delayed version of the one button function mentioned above. There are no more beeps here, and you can see the effect directly.
In actual use, you can choose whether to keep the original photos. Except that the no fly zone will cause the delay of unable to run, the free delay will not be affected. Oh, yes, The Mavic 2 also has 8G built-in storage like the Mavic Air. If you forget to bring a memory card, you can also make an emergency , and now supports H.265, which can save half of the space for video (only now the PC side is not popular, and most computers will have to struggle to convert H.265). Now the requirements for the card have also been reduced. The actually measured Spicy Chicken 10 speed card will not affect 4K H.264 video shooting, but the waiting time after shooting is longer.
The feeling of using Mavic 2 can be summed up in two words - rest assured, just one word - cool (Vita lemon tea, better than smoking marijuana) 。 After the fuselage became heavier, the wind resistance was improved to a certain extent, and the hovering was much more stable. The endurance has increased to 31 minutes, which sounds like a little, but actually it has increased by 15%. It feels a bit longer than the previous generation and the Mavic Air (especially the endurance when hovering at a fixed point), which is a bit metaphysical.
The new noise reduction propeller makes the sound smaller, Take off directly from the roadside. Passers 10 meters away may not notice that there is a UAV here. The sound of the noise reduction paddle is more delicate and mellow, the high frequency is bright without pricking, the medium frequency is rich and emotional, the low frequency is large and elastic, and about 60 dB is just the best sound quality explosion point
The longer the focal length, the higher the requirements for anti shake and focusing of the PTZ. However, after the focal length of the lens of the Mavic 2 became longer (the professional version was 28mm equivalent focal length, and the longest focal length of the zoom version was 48mm), the influence of the focal length change on the picture stability could not be detected under the sea breeze. Compared with this, we are more worried about Xiaobai's manipulation technology.
summary
I can't buy the Qianwu series because I can't afford it anyway. Later, the spirit series became very strong, but it still did not come into my consideration, but this time the main reason was lazy, and the spirit series was still too large. Later, Dajiang launched the Mavic Pro, Spark and Mavic Air, which was almost impossible to control at that time.
This time, The Mavic 2 Professional Edition has become a "flying black card" with an inch bottom. Both the image and the intelligent part can play a role in the first generation of enlightenment four years ago (17999 yuan, with only 1/2.3 inch of sensor), while the current 20000 Wu-2 nude computers are flying in the sky with Super 35 cameras. The world is changing so fast. Before the press conference was finished, there was only one sentence left in my mind: "I am tm blowing up! Who is not buying?"
Then the price was announced. The zoom version was 7888 yuan, and the professional version of Hasu Jiacheng Shenghui was 9588 yuan. This world change is really dangerous.
As the old saying goes, poverty calms me down. After careful consideration, the general pattern has not changed. The highest cost performance ratio is still Mavic Air, and the most suitable entry is still Spark The Mavic 2 series offers a higher level of possibilities: for playability, there is a Mavic 2 zoom version that can be twice as light variable; The Mavic Professional Edition is available for both image quality and portability. The official data mentioned that the switching service of the Mavic 2 series PTZ camera can be purchased through the official after-sales service in the future, but the specific price details have not been announced.
But Dajiang UAV is a typical product of "buy early and enjoy early, buy late without discount". Now is the best time to buy a new one. Teacher Ma is right, There is no way to become stronger without more money There is not so much waiting in life (manual funny * 3).
