Hello, I recently recieved a footage shot with a Mavic 2 Pro, the resolution of the footage is 3840x2160, I was wondering what is the focal length and sensor size, I need this information to camera track the footage.
Thanks

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. The DJI Mavic 2 Pro has a 1"CMOS sensor with a 28mm focal length. Hope this helps. Thank you for your support!

Is that an equivalent focal length (e.g. the Mavic Air 2's focal length is an actual focal length of 8.70857 because of compensating for its half-inch sensor, but an equivalent focal length of 24 mm), or is the Mavic 2 Pro's actual focal length, 28 mm?
The equivalent of 28 mm with a 1-inch sensor, would be 20.32 mm.

The equivalent of 28 mm with a 1-inch sensor, would be 20.32 mm.

Focal lengths of cameras with integrated (non removable) lenses are almost always given as a 35mm equivalent.

What's worth adding is that if you shoot in 10bit HQ mode, the focal length changes to roughly 35mm.

Hi,
I calibrated my Mavic 2 Pro between alt 5 and 100m in 16 steps and found that a focal length of around 20mm gave me the best results.  Errors of +7% at 5 m (overestimated size on ground) and -5% at 100m (underestimated). About right at 30m altitude in the x-direction (width). Both in Auto and manual camera modes.
