Been looking enviously at the videos and specs for the Mavic Air 2 recently. I’m seriously considering selling both my Phantom 3 Professional AND my Mavic Mini 1 to part fund the purchase of one. Looking at the capabilities of the Air 2 I can’t see what major things I’d be missing out on. I still like the look/style of the phantom series (and having 2 drones!) but I think the Air 2 is the next logical step. Getting the mini 2 when already have the original doesn’t seem like a significant upgrade.
I do think about the occusync feature to be honest, but I guess you get that with the air of course plus the stability. The mini 2 is meant to be close to the air 2 in the wind but a lot of video reviews say otherwise
The CE mark. It says a product has hit a certain set of specifications. For drones it’s predominantly around safety and has become relevant with Friday’s change in regulations.
Nobody knows what exactly will be required to make it CE compatible but you may see crumple zones, shielded rotors, a “low speed” setting (think tripod mode but regulated rather than to DJI’s spec) etc. Essentially reducing any damage it dies if it hits someone.
As we don’t have any of these products available, there’s a 2 year transition period from 1 Jan. I would think you’ll see the first of them in around a year.
