Hello Friends,
I am looking to get into the fantastic world of drone flying, however, I am currently stuck on what to buy. I am a new drone pilot and I plan on using this drone for beginner aerial photography and also using it to take pictures of myself and my wife since we hike in a lot of places where no one else is around. I am interested in either the Mavic 2 Zoom and the Mavic Air. I will list out my perceived pros and cons of each below.
Mavic 2 Zoom Pros
- Better sensors, safer to fly and easier to screw up
- Newer controller, harder to lose drone from connection issues with the new Occusync
- Seems more robust due to its size
- Seems to have all the same easy photography modes as the Air but I could be wrong
Mavic 2 Zoom Cons
- A higher level of difficulty for a new pilot with more features
- Price
Mavic Air Pros
- Seems like it is made for extreme ease of use
- It appears as if it has more "beginner-friendly" photography options available but I could be wrong
- Smart Capture, not sure how useful this feature is but it seems nice
- Smaller size, won't be as noticeable to others, however, I believe the Mavic 2 is quieter.
- Cheaper
Mavic Air Cons
- Not as many sensors
- Slower flight speed
- Less Range
- Not as many advanced options for photos
All I listed above are just my perception after doing research. Please, correct me if I am wrong but most importantly, if you have used both these drones, help me figure out what I should get. Price isn't an issue for me so I don't really factor that in. I just want something I can use a lot for hiking and outdoor activities.
Cheers,
Smitty
