When it comes to battery life, the Mavic Air 2 is the stronger performer despite using smaller and lighter batteries, but that’s testament to the rapid development of battery technology. This is most likely because while both drones use folding low-noise propellers, those on the Mavic 2 Pro are larger.ĭJI Mavic Air 2 battery (left) vs Mavic 2 Pro battery (right) (Image credit: Future) On paper, both the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic Air 2 fly at near identical speeds and offer near-identical wind resistance, yet the Mavic 2 Pro looks and feels much more stable in the air. The Mavic 2 Pro features more obstacle avoidance sensors.The Mavic Air 2 offers a slightly longer battery life. Both drones use GPS and GLONASS satellite systems.In terms of functionality, at a software level the cameras are similar, but the Mavic 2 Pro features an adjustable aperture and autofocus, whereas the Mavic 2 uses a fixed f/2.8 aperture and hyperfocal focusing. Deciding between them comes down to weighing up how important these factors are to you. The difference between these sensors is most noticeable when shooting stills, but it also contributes to the physical size and weight difference between the drones. This compares with the smaller 1/2-inch 12MP sensor of the Mavic Air 2, which has a camera focal length equivalent to 24mm. The Mavic 2 Pro has a 1-inch 20MP sensor with a camera providing an equivalent focal length of 28mm. Of course, one of the biggest factors when deciding between these drones will be their cameras. This may not be all that useful at the moment since few people have 8K TVs, but this certainly provides a degree of future-proofing since this technology will become increasingly prevalent in the home. In terms of intelligent flight modes the two drones are again similar, and one doesn’t trump the other except for the Mavic Air 2 having improved follow/tracking modes and the ability to capture hyperlapses at up to 8K. This also extends to 4K video where the Mavic Air 2 again doubles the frame rate with video capture possible up to 60fps, compared to the Mavic Pro at 30fps.
