The Mavic Air 2 is an excellent choice if you’re after a drone to shoot video for fun. It bridges the gap between toy and pro drones.

The best drone for most people, the Mavic Air 2 is a significant upgrade on its predecessor and our new favorite flying camera. It offers improved range, a noticeably longer battery life, excellent 4K/60p video and a whole host of new shooting features, all for the same launch price as its predecessor. Minor niggles aside, it's a superb choice for both stills photographers and filmmakers.

A falta de poder probar a fondo las capacidades HDR del nuevo Mavic Air 2, no cabe duda de que el dron de DJI parece ser el modelo a comprar si dispones de un presupuesto de 850 €.  Frente a su hermano menor Mavic Mini, no solo lograrás incrementar el alcance de transmisión de vídeo de 2 Km a 10 Km, sino que también cuentas ahora con un sensor de 48 MP 1/2 pulgadas y grabación en calidad 4K a 60 fps. Las diferencias de calidad son notables.
