DJI gets serious about aerial video with Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom drones

First and foremost, the new drones have improved cameras. The Mavic 2 Pro has a 1-inch CMOS sensor made by renowned camera company Hasselblad. With an adjustable f/2.8-f/11 aperture, the drone’s camera is more versatile for shooting in more conditions, especially low-light situations where the larger aperture (smaller f-stop number) comes in handy.
