Has DJI finally released a travel-sized drone that can replace my 4-year-old Phantom 4 Pro? It has the same size sensor and photo resolution as the Mavic 2 Pro and the Phantom 4 Pro with 4K video 60fps or 5.4K video 30fps. Now in April 2021 DJI has released the “ DJI Air 2S” as the latest drone in the Mavic series. So the Mavic Air 2 didn’t end up replacing my trusty old Phantom 4 Pro. Once I got ahold of one I pitted the Mavic Air 2 against the Phantom 4 Pro in a series of photo quality tests, and I generally preferred the image quality of the Phantom 4 Pro’s camera over the Mavic Air 2. When the DJI Mavic Air 2 came out in 2020 with a 48-megapixel camera (better thought of as a 12MP quad bayer sensor) that could shoot 4K 60fps I had high hopes about that being my new compact travel drone, but knowing it had a smaller sensor than the Phantom 4 Pro I had my suspicions.

So the Mavic 2 Pro failed to be a totally superior successor, though it has been a popular model.

But at some point I can’t help but wonder, “How long do these things last? Is DJI going to release a superior compact travel drone for me to upgrade to someday? Should I just fly this Phantom 4 Pro for years until a motor fails and it crashes in a field?”īack when the Mavic 2 Pro came out in 2018 many people thought of that drone as the successor to the Phantom 4 Pro, but the Mavic 2 Pro could only do video at 4K 30fps, whereas the Phantom 4 Pro could do 4K 60fps. It has been my go-to drone for real estate photography and video for a few years. I have had a Phantom 4 Pro since February of 2017.
