DJI MAVIC 2 ZOOM Flight Review - Crazy Windy Tracking & Avoidance, Zooming, Pros & Cons 

Just bought my mavic 2 zoom a month ago and still learning what it can do and how to do it. This review was a great help.

As I said on the Pro review you are the best person on You Tube to watch if you want the best review possible.

I've been looking at all sorts of reviews this week and this one just sold me on the Mavic 2 Zoom. Awesome video. Subscribed!

Brilliant. A fantastic test of the drone, certainly more than enough to help someone make a decision by showing what it can do. Based on this and a couple others I have seen, I'm now catching up on all your videos. Great job, Dustin!

The APAS feature on this drone is incredible! And your testing of it was amazing. Very well done flight test.

Thanks Dustin, excellent reviews of these new products, definitely a go-to reviewer in my books!

your drone videos are the best i've seen, well done i'm considering buying the zoom thanks again

Dustin, you have the best in depth drone tutorial vidoes on youtube! thank you for the videos. keep it up!

Always amazing work, cool your bro let you do some testing. Cheers Dustin

Excellent video Dustin. I'm considering the Mavic 2 zoom to add to my vlogs and this video may have sold me. Cheers.

I am getting one next week. Cant wait. Thanks for the review!

Thanks Dustin very fine video always love your reviews very well done all the time.

Dustin you are the superior reviewer, love this channel!

nice simpel review!! thanks . makes me motivated to buy one

Daang,, you're my favourite reviewer, Dustin!!

Great review ,great flying and a fantastic video and drone my friend 👍👊👍

You sir have sold me this drone. Thanks for a great review and video,

Love your stuff Dustin!!

What a great review! Thank you very much!

Amazing review! Keep up the good work!

Great content as always and a fantastic reviewer - just what we all want to hear as a private non commercial buyer. Excellent work as always. Will be purchasing as a second to my mavic pro.

Great video . Keep up the great content !

That was an amazing obstacle test with that goal post and MPZ did pretty well 👍

What a great review, subbed

excellent test for zoom and active tracking!

Awesome review, I plan on taking this drone to South Africa I appreciate the detailed review!

So awesome test!! Thanks! That AT 2.0 is awesome. I have this Zoom too and weather in Finland has been bad...rain and high winds so my testing has been very little... Btw you been SUBBED!😁

Wow! Justin yet another fantastic review👍🏼 you have convinced me and I am now awaiting the delivery of my mavic zoom with fly more combo (hurry up dhl) The active track was superb on this bird, as you mentioned maybe it’s the camera, but it’s awesome. Thanks buddy, keep up the good work of this awesome channel.

Awesome review as always man. Dustin you’re probably the only person that I would just let take my drone for a day. Real good dude!!!

Dustin you may recall yesterday I bought the Mavic Mini in which you replied, thanks for that, but having played with it for a while I see that it has limited functions/settings. The MAVIC MINI for the money it's a great little drone fly's great, very easy even for a beginner like me. I then came across this video. Watched the whole video, then took back the Mini drone to the store and purchased the DJI Mavic 2 pro. Once again great video, editing and clarity. Top job young man.

excellent bud. i so love this channel

Very good video !! I liked to see when the drone was confused in the trees and stayed in the same place stopped waiting for a new order.

Hey dusstin I subscribed in your blog I love your chanel

Great review, one of my favorite on this new drone!

Very good tests. Thanks.

Great video very informative. I just order one.

very nice review and flight demo

Superb content. THANK YOU

Justin, I am so glad I picked up the M2Z, I been using the Zoom feature to my advantage like there no tommorro.....

I find that when I take off and go up about 20 feet it helps with the return to home feature. I have always calibrated my drone before I take off. The Mavic 2 zoom is one of the best drones I have ever flown. I was flying it once at about 289 feet and had a Hawk come in checking out my drone, and have a video of the bird turning away from my drone.

Nice Review!! Thank You Jed For Loaning Him Your Baby!! Very Impressed With The Active Track On This One!! Definitely Gave Ya Some Exercise!!

Awesome Drone, i like it's, thank for sharing brother

Excellent review like always. You made me laugh with the avoindance test ! Good landing at the end before the 10 % ;) PS : your cardio looks better, not out of breath like the last time :p

Thanks for showing the gimbal movements at first drone turned on. Just want to check if mine is doing the same small twitches.

You are quickly becoming my favorite drone reviewer. I like the practical "regular guy" approach. Great content. I don't know if its possible with your buddies drone, but if you could shoot the area with the red sand beach that you did with your pro as a comparison that would be outstanding. However I understand if that's impractical with a borrowed drone.

Nice demo dude! Now it's more tempting me to buy it

Great review , subbed ! I just order one of these with the smart controller a couple days ago. Can you please give me a little detail on your hat cam ??

Awesome review!! 👍👍

Aloha mi amigo!!! I just got my big Dji box dropped off and new phone will be here tomorrow! I went with the Zoom w/ racing Edition goggles and also the fly more. Going to keep the Mavic Platinum and mod it to have SUPER Speed Sport mode. Thanks for the awesome video bro, you are #1!

Mahalo for your time and effort for giving us another detailed review. Bummer about not having enough battery power to do the 1080 zoom.

It looks amazing. I'll get one, one day 😁👍

Thanks for Sharing I just received my 1st Drone Mavic 2 Zoom

Amazing work...congrats.

Very nice flight review Dustin! Maybe the Zoom is going to the top of my dream drone list😁

Hello, Dustin How are you doing? let me ask you something? Did you use any filters with this review? Awesome review as always! Thank you so much!!!

Another awesome review well done👏👏👏

Beautiful video quality!!

Awesome review

Hello and thanks another awsome review :) do you know if there have been more updates for the pro2 maby the obstacle avoidance is imroved more sinse this video was recorded. keep up the good job :) cheers from North Norway

Great video Brother! 👍🏻

That's a good active track on this one,ty an good job.

As always awesome

Great video, thanks.

Hey Man great vídeos and great voice for commenting. 1 Question which is better mavir air 2 or the zoom

This is an awesome test with the tracking!

good job. Real review and test. Not like some people who talk and advertise only. That active track issue may be also because of the shade under the trees. Just a thought.

nice test bro

Pretty cool, Zoom could come in handy in some situations. I agree that either it was an update or a better camera, it performed a little better than the PRO.

This is just awesome. 👍😊✈️

Many compliments for the video

Very nice tests and video. The active track is marvelous. I'm anxious to know what happens in tracking a flying object like another drone or a slowly flying RC-plane above 12mph and no obstacles in the vicinity except the target. Should M2Z keep up distance from the target above 12 mph?

Great test, scared me on those branches..lol.. Yesterday I filmed where I could have used the point of interest and didn't even think about it, dang it, gonna have to start using the intelligent features so I look more intelligent. Been flying VR with the CAVU fpv for Android app alot and noticed they updated for the new Mavic 2 versions in case anyone is interested. Great job Dustin! Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho 😎

The active track around the goal posts was really impressive.

Amazing video

Nice vid!

The camera on the zoom felt really solid to me. It seems like they really built the gimbal system well.

Wow! That active track, is on point... Thanks Dustin!! I know you must have tested your friends nerves, when you ran the active track test. But as usual the Mavic pro zoom, Performed flawlessly...

As usual an excellent review....does it use a combination of the tracking box you draw around yourself AND the gps in the tablet/phone/transmitter? OR just the tracking box...would be great if you could do a test with the controller left on the floor...or track your daughter or another person while you hold the controller a distance away ready to take over in an emergency.

Awesome drone!

very nice ...I too have the pro version ...did see the zoom at bestbuy

Your test is very helpful for me. Want to buy the platinum. But your test confirms my suspicions. Is better buy the mavic 2. Even if it is more expensive. Thanks for the detailed test and greetings from gemany.

Idk if you know this but you can hold down on the screen of your device and move the camera gimbal sideways, you do get the props in the shot but you can see the side arms. It's really cool. I love your drone reviews keep up the great work! Edit: you forgot the one mode that is exclusive to the zoom, which is the Dolly Zoom, it's not available on the Pro only on the Zoom. Maybe make a follow-up video of some of the things that you mist or found out later on. Although that might be hard because you borrowed it, so if you can't make another video don't worry about it.

Awesome tests! Is it true that the zoom video appears to be clearer and more crisp than that of the mavic 2 pro? Was this apparent in your tests? I've been considering these drones for a while now since the prices have significantly gone down, though i only have a budget for 1 drone....

Nailed the landing!

Nice video

Dobra robota pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski z Torunia. Dużo fajnych porad , które sam wykorzystam w swoim mavicu.

this drone is incredible!

Awesome. Can I just ask!Why haven't you do the submarine thing dive test

Awesome, great drone, handles the wind quite nicely i see, great active track system like wow except for that small hiccup going downhill through the trees where it lost u but I can forgive that. I have not seen a better active track to date. For me the video quality was great. The zoom function in 4K was good enough, could be better. Yeah overall im impressed. Im definitely thinking of purchasing one in the hopefully near future.

Can you also test the Mavic 2 zoom's new quickshot "doly zoom" and the "super resolution" photo mode. Thank for this very good review, like always.

What an awesome drone!

Nice review mate woooow nerar mate 😨😨😨😨😨

Thanks for the reply Sir Dustin Dunnill, i always bring this Mavic 2 Pro onboard Ship since 3 yrs ago w/ 3 Ships past due to the nature of my work as a Chief Officer onboardship using Mavic to read Draft Marks on ship side. I never encounter problem w/ Compass, Gps because i always fly my Mavic 2 Pro in a Metal take-off procedure(raised by hand in order to have clear at least 2 meter above Metal). i calibrate the Compass prior take-off, Only thing is i should suppose abort to continue fly the Mavic 2 Pro as i observ drifting movement during initial take off in order to calibrate IMU, including update of the Firmware(as i remember Error on my last Firmware update due to Network error slow internet connection, probably one cause of my Crash). Aside from that is i have "Arris Raptor2 Water Landing Skid for Mavic 2" but i trusted not to connect since 6months, so this is a lesson learn to me, Next time, no matter what i will always connect my "Arris Raptor2 Water Landing gear for safety purposes" ... By the way Sir Dustin, do u have idea how many years from the date of purchase on Mavic 2 normally does the DJI covered Warranty After Sales Policy?, as the DJI SUPPORT already gave me to investigate the cause my Crash. Thanks & Regards 🙏😀

Awesome on those obstacle avoidance 👍 Not perfect, but good enough

Hi there. Great review again. This time on zoom version. But my question stays the same as with pro: like is it better to grab one of those now, or maybe wait a little (like few months or so...?) Just to become perfect i gues. But in this video you mention something like: it will never become 'perfect" because of p4p and p5???!!! So on what or why should i even wait now... :) Anyway..keep up the great work and looking forward for your range test

Excellent review! I'm torn between the pro and this. But leaning towards this for the zoom! Btw... with the new regulations and stuff, how high can you fly this thing? Straight up?

Hi from the U.K. you sold me im getting one😃

best review

Hi dustin.. you have this two for a test already.. what do you think about the image quality? are the pro version better in a huge difference or not too much?how about compare the zoom version to the old mavic pro, does the image quality the same?

Awesome!
