Following its debut about ten days ago, DJI’s incredibly compact and powerful new drone, the Mavic Air 2, is now available to purchase through Apple’s online and offline stores.
Arguably the best consumer drone to buy under $1,000, the Mavic Air 2 boosts image quality, introduces new features and increases your flight time over its predecessor. Best of all, this drone folds down into an incredibly compact package that you can easily throw in a bag.
This flying machine shoots 4K resolution video at sixty frames per second, resulting in 120 megabytes per second of footage. That alone is something no other commercial drone is currently capable of. On top of that, you get an impressive 34 minutes of flight time, which is a significant increase over the 21 minutes flight time on the original Mavic Air.
