Great info. Another feature of Zoom is in 1080p mode you can not only zoom 24=>48=>but also 96mm which is quite a bit more Zoomph than the 48 mm. The 96 mm Zoom is part optical last part digital but you can’t tell the difference.
Seems like the pro is great for low light and photos and the zoom is great for video options and the high res photos but will lack at low light without the variable aperture. And just a tip so you don’t have to write or mark what side of your car has the gas cap. There is a little arrow by your gas gauge that points to the side it’s on if you can’t remember. Lol
Just purchased the Zoom. I see all this info was posted 2 years ago. I hope the M2 Zoom is still a good choice I don't regret buying. Thanks for the info!
It does seem that there is a lot of people out there who prefers the mavic 2 pro over the zoom, because of the better 20MP camera. However to be fair I do like both drone but will take the zoom over the pro any day. The zoom feature is cool in my opinion coupled with the less noisy props makes it that you can get opportunities to get great shots without disturbing the surroundings. The price is the next factor too. I don't own a drone currently but Im planning to purchase a zoom soon.
I think the zoom is truly best for those who enjoy recording wildlife. And that is mainly what I enjoy searching for when I fly around my mountain. Still a difficult choice on what one to buy , that if I decide to upgrade at all. The MP has soon in 1080 for doing pics . Not sure if I want to start all over again buying stuff to fit this drone, depends on what I get out of my Mavic Pro.
I literally had the DJI Mavic Pro in my Amazon shopping cart yesterday! I was making my budget list for a loan...I am definitely changing for the Zoooooom! 😀👍
Great Review!!! The confusing door thing varies. I would ALWAYS hold the drone in a certain way and then flip it. The belly faces me, camera on top, I know exactly which door is memory card slot. Sometimes one just need to pay a little bit more attention to details. :D
If you have the time please make a video on the Zoom custom profiles. I remember there were a ton of videos on that regarding the original Mavic and the Air. You know, turn sharpness down quite a bit, saturation and contrast as well, then adjust in the post for best image quality. Does this apply to the Zoom (since the sensor is the same...), thank you.
HI THERE AWSMMMMM VIDEO!!JUST WANNA KNOW IF ONE CAN TRANSFER THE IMAGES AND VIDEOS STRAIGHT TO OUR PHONES FROM THE DRONE.. BYPASSING THE COMPUTER???THANKS IN ADVANCE
Something wrong with colors with the DjI Mavic 2 Zoom, I guess for better result we should record raw then color it. I like the zooming but not the colors.
I have had my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom for 2 years. I like to take photo shots more so than video. I went into the settings of taking 3,5, or 7 burst shots thinking It would stitch them together What I found out was I was getting 3,5 or 7 pictures of the same thing, not having them stitched together. I even went into the "AEB" mode and selected 3 pictures. When I took a picture it would take 3 shots and it looked like it was stitching things together UNTIL I plugged my drone into my computer and found nothing stitched together. What am I doing wrong....
The Mavic Zoom will zoom from 24 mm to 48 mm optically for all video sizes BUT will zoom 24 to 48 optically (which is 2X) and adds digital zoom from 48 mm to 96 mm (an additional 2X Zoom) if you film in 1080p. So you have 4X Zoom which is really more exciting than 2X. With the improved lens 1080p just does not look that bad with this zoom camera. If you don’t like 1080p at 24 FPS then try it at 30 FPS. The difference of 1080 p compared to 2.7K or 4K is not that great if you are using iPad or computer monitor screen for what you get with 4X Zoom. The Zoom adds more functionality to the drone than the one inch sensor. Suppose you are searching for object lost on you trek through grassland, Park, or desert. Or for animal or family member. Which drone would provide most practical help?
Idk what to choose!! I'm town between the mavic 2 pro and mavic 2 pro, I owned 2 dji drones in the past, the P4P+ and a mavic pro, what should I get?!?
just returned my air to upgrade to mavic 2 zoom. the Air had constant wifi interference/weak signal issues limiting its range, and flight time was too short for practical use.
Someone told me that the Mavic 2 Zoom uses the same sized sensor like old Mavic Pro. But the sensor types are different. Maybe the new type in Mavic 2 Zoom has better image quality. And the bit rate is 100 Mb which is higher than old one. Maybe it will also improve the image quality of the footage.
I ordered the Zoom from China too, at the black Friday discounted price. It took just about a month to arrive due to the California fires. It finally came, it's an awesome drone. I have the P4P that has the 1" sensor camera so I didn't need the pro 2. I now have the Zoom with ocusync which was the difference maker for me.
don't have to for it to work with controller but is a good practice to avoid notifications coming up during flight, and you phone battery will last longer.
Mavic 2 Zoom with only 2 color profile choices. Hope your a good editor or are in love with color choice normal. I find it boring and flat. My Autel Evo gives me a lot more choices as a non editor for color profiles. Slightly less expensive to buy the Evo, and the zoom being only digital is not as Impressive.
I don’t get the whole dolly zoom craze.. haven’t people been doing this in post for ages now? With their current drones.. I even watched a tutorial the other day about it, and it’s incredibly easy to pull off..
