I just checked my tracking number for my Mavic 2 Pro and it's showing in Anchorage, AK on a "clearance delay" and it has went from a Wednesday delivery to "No scheduled delivery date at this time". Is this normal for products coming from DJI? Has anyone else shipment been delayed? This is my first online order from DJI. Thanks

Sounds like your shipment has been selected for inspection by Customs. It happens.

I had the paint job ruined on a LX B25 Foam model when customs opened it up, pulled it apart and inspected it and then stuck it back with Security check tape. You cant get the tape off a foam model without removing the paint.

Hi All, strange question I know, but can someone please tell me what the dimensions of the Mavic 2 Pro box is ?

Doesn't seem to be anywhere online !! If someone has one, could you please take a couple of quick measurements. Would really appreciate it.

Thanks !!

I understand the batteries are different than the Mavic Pro but is the connection point the same?  I am looking to see if my charger for Mavic Pro batteries will still work on these new batteries.  Thanks for any help!

Hopefully the connectors are different − as they are not electrically compatible having different voltages (13.05 V vs 17.6 V). Whis is exactly because the batteries are different.

Was Mavic first edition worth to be a second body for a professional photographer/filmaker?
The answer is: no, it wasn’t.
Is the Mavic new version worth of it?
The answer is: yes, it is, but there are some things to understand.
Speaking of Pro model, I agree with americans when they say that size matters: sensor size is condition not to be set aside to get image quality, and Dji for the first time with Phantom 4 Pro showed how it is possible to reach a good performance with a sensor size of an inch. I whised and wrote for long time that Dji would mount such a sensor on Mavic, and eventually Dji did it.
About lens, Dji kept the same FOV of previous version: 77°. Good choice, considering that Phantom, with its 84°, suffers more perspective distorsion.
There is a new dlog, a flat profile at ten bit instead of eight. Moreover right now is avaible both in Pro and Zoom models H265 codec, slighty more efficient than H264. But is important to understand that they are just palliatives: the real question is that all stuff is heavily compressed, only purchasing an expensive Inspire it is possible handle raw video.
Thinking of H265 I remember that using that codec on Phantom 4 Pro compelled - at the max resolution - to renounce at 60 fps: on Mavic simply this issue ...isn’t, because - always at max resolution - 60 fps isn’t avaible at all, with any configurations. Not a marginal lack, in same applications.
On Zoom model (I would not buy it because of its small sensor, nevertheless) very interesting the optical zoom 2X (let’s to beginners digital extension...) as well as 48 MP function related to it.
User manual: Dji declared for Phantom 4 Pro a max wind speed resistance expressed in m/s, while right now with Mavic data is expressed in kph; this generates confusion.
Lateral obstacle avoidance sensors: still too many limitation to their effectiveness.
Synthesizing: an huge improvement in comparison with previous version, but there are still some issue to work with.

According to the website the go app requires version Android V4.3.0 but it isn't released on Google play app store

Hi there, it will take some time to generate the tracking number, please note the email later.

Mindy, sent you few PM's to you with my order number from Thursday morning. I'm bummed it still hasn't shipped and others are getting them on Monday, as you know, I have a lot of DJI equipment and just have a feeling from experience something isn't right. Can you check on it please. I'm a bit worried something is wrong or it's because I added Inspire 2 batteries along with the fly more and RE googles all showing stk.

Thanks for your response. I hope I don't end up with security tape on my drone.

#253 Dity Bird,

I was realy looking forward to the Dji Mavic2 pro/zoom but to my disapointment the only thing that I loved about the Mavic Pro 1 was the portrit mode. I am also a Inspire 2 owner with the X7 camera and I use my drones primarely to shoot stills. But to be able to compose the imge straight away is very nice as a photographer, insted of stitching & croping images afterwards. I like the reward when you see that perfect moment as I take the image, I dont get that from croping aferwards. It also seems like Dji forgot abot those millions of instagram userers that love and need the 9:16 for their storys and the 4:5 format for the grid.

I guess I'll pick up a used M1 for less $ instead  

> …  the only thing that I loved about the Mavic Pro 1 was the portrit mode.

Hi.  Not sure if this helps.   In the FAQ section of Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, under Gimbal:


Does the Mavic 2's gimbal support Portrait Mode?

No, but a portrait can be captured by using Vert under Pano mode in the app.

Orders sent off in the order they were made?

dont think they will reply us

DJI Mindy Posted at 2018-8-27 02:32
Hi JohnnieYaz, I have replied your PM, please check, thanks.

Hi Mindy,

Could you also please check mine? I placed the order during the live event and it still hasn't shipped. Will send you a PM now.

I fly a 'Parrot'drone currently which has 'Flight' plan. This allows points of interest and way oints to be loaded at home. The plan  is brought up prior to flying when you arrive at the place you planned to fly. Can this be done with softwear provided with either Mavick pro 2 or Mavick Air? Must I purchase additional third party software if I purchase either of these drones?

Just got a text from FedEx moving scheduled date from Wednesday to today for my M2Z (+FlyMore+Goggles), just hours away . Happy I can be home today to sign for it
Pretty fast; ordered it during the event Thursday, shipped Friday, arrived US (Alaska) Saturday, Tennessee and Orlando Sunday and now out for delivery Monday morning. Impressed! Hope and expect to be equally impressed with the drone. Will be a fun afternoon unpacking, registering, charge, fw update, calibrate and hopefully fly some. Unfortunately, thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon but crossing my fingers

Yup. Just got mine in hand 20 min ago. Charging things then to update the firmware.

Will Mavic 2 Pro be compatible with DJI Ground Station Pro?

Does firmware need to be updated already? I'm scheduled to receive mine today and I was wondering if firmware needed to be updated before flying.

Well got the thing to finally work had to do a factory reset on my phone smh.

I got mine and charged the batteries. The new fw update takes forever! I'm at 89% after over 1h. And I'm having 200 Mb/s and a new Macbook Pro....
So whatever you do, ensure you have a fully loaded battery when doing the fw update

My fw update failed using assistant, as it said it had less than 50 % battery left. Used DJIGo 4 instead and it was done in about 20 min... Took it out for a short flight and wow.... LOVE IT

Ordered the mavic 2 zoom. Excited to take it up for the first flight.

People are saying they ordered it on Thursday at launch and some are getting it Monday? That is pretty fast, I was expecting at least 5 business days coming from CN to US.

Ordered the Mavic 2 Pro + Fly more + Care Refresh!! Hope to receive it soon (now to figure out how to pay for it!)

Simply awesome DJI Team!

Does anyone have a clue why my newly bought and registered M2Z won't show up under my profile here? Registered it with same account name/email as my MA and it has detected the distance I have flown with it. Have I missed anything or is it just some sort of delay?

Same here. I'm guessing it's not high on the priority list

So, I was looking at some sample Mavic 2 Pro pictures from here:
https://www.tomstechtime.com/mavicpro2

...and noticed something.  The center of the image is nicely sharp and in focus, yes... but the edges are noticeably blurry.  Here's a side-by-side comparison:



...these are two 1:1 crops from the same original raw image on the Mavic Pro 2, taken from the link above.  The section on the left is from the left edge of the source image; the section on the right is from the center.  Notice the dramatic difference in focus between the two.  The center portion of the source image is nicely sharp and in focus, but it gets considerably blurrier when you get away from the center of the image.

I'm guessing this is a result of optics geometry, i.e. trying to project onto that giant 1" sensor with a very short path from the lens to the sensor?  i.e. the result of trying to focus a spherical image onto a planar surface.

Is that what's going on, here?  Is this what basically all Mavic 2 Pro images are going to look like, or is this avoidable via some sort of camera settings?

Great work DJI! I will probebly get the M2 when the CS is compatible, mean time I fly my MA.
