Breaking News: DJI Mavic 2 and DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Listed in Argos Catalog

Breaking News: the brand new DJI Mavic 2 Pro is listed in the latest Argos catalog with images and details. It appears that DJI will be releasing two different types of most sought foldable drones: The DJI Mavic 2 Pro equipped with a 1-inch sensor. The second version will be a DJI Mavic 2 with a 24-48mm zoom lens and “Dolly Zoom” effect which is similar to the Parrot Anafi (See Price).

Originally, the DJI planned to announce the new DJI Mavic 2 during the special event “See the Bigger Picture” in NYC on July 18th. But they decided to postpone the event. The reasons why they postponed is still unclear to us.

The new DJI Mavic 2 on a catalog of an English retails indicates the launch date isn’t that far.

DJI Mavic 2 in Catalog

Thanks to Brett and Monty who recently shared photos of the new Mavic 2. The listing in the Argos catalog provided us with some details that say about the new foldable drone:

“The brand new DJI Mavic 2 is a small, yet powerful drone with a 1080p video transmission up to 8km (5 miles) away and a max flying speed of 20m/s (45 miles per hour). It will turn the sky into your creative canvas. Its compact size and 31-minutes max flight time makes this one of DJI’s most sophisticated flying cameras ever. Featuring omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS and Active Track 2.0 give you the confidence to take to the sky and capture your moment. Dolly Zoom (zoom version only). DJI Mavic 2 Pro & DJI Mavic 2 Zoom.”

DJI Mavic 2 will come in two different versions for you to choose from:

  • The DJI Mavic 2 Pro is equipped with a powerful 1-inch CMOS Sensor Hasselblad Camera
  • The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is equipped with a 24mm-48mm zoom lens.

The brand new DJI Mavic 2 will feature:

  • The upgraded top flying speed of 45mph compared to the original Mavic Pro that goes for 40mph.
  • Improved flight time, 31 minutes vs. original Mavic Pro that can fly up to 27 minutes.
  • OcuSync that transmits live video in 1080p setting up to 5 miles away.
  • Improved Obstacle Sensing in omnidirectional with APAS
  • Upgraded Active Track 2.0
  • Dolly Zoom (only available in DJI Mavic 2 Zoom)

DJI Mavic 2 Gimbal Camera Setup

Based on what we speculated, it appears that the brand new DJI Mavic 2 cameras don’t come with the same protection that Mavic Air (See Price) features. That being said, the combination of cameras and gimbal does look quite vulnerable. However, the new DJI Mavic 2 Pro looks much more robust than the zoom version. Luckily enough, they are equipped with an omnidirectional obstacle detection system that will certainly help you go a long way from flying into objects.

While it is only the beginning. It will be at least a few weeks (or months) before we will know the full details. For now, it looks like the enterprise version of DJI Mavic 2 will be the only one that is capable of doing that.

Stay tuned as we continue to dig deep on this breaking news!
