DJI, the known drone and photography peripherals maker, has one of its upcoming product’s images leaked. The DJI Mavic Air 2 has been spotted online, on Twitter, from a relatively reliable source carrying the message “time to sell your Mavic Air.”
The leak was shared from a verified DJI drone pilot, who published five images that is apparently of the Mavic Air 2 drone model. The images are taken from various angles, giving us a sort of detailed look of the drone and also showcase it taking off. The drone in question is expected to be unveiled by April 2020 and will target the mid range segment in the drone market.

According to @OsitaLV’s tweet, the images are claimed to be of the Mavic Air 2. For those unaware, the Mavic series is a part of DJI’s popular drone family. Its Pro variants are top of the line and one of the best in the industry, while the relatively cheaper Air variants target the affordable budget segments. From the images, a newly designed larger and sturdier controller can be observed. This arrives with the usual controller options with the sticks and mode swapping buttons.

One of the interesting aspects seen in the leaks includes new safety measures. The DJI Mavic Air 2 features two rear sensors, allowing for a 360 degree obstacle avoidance view. It significantly reduces the possibility of accidents over the currently available model’s three dimensional environment sensors. As of 2019, any Mavic series drones over 250 grams, will feature AirSens technology and also receive ADS-B signals from nearby drones. This further reduces the chances of accidental crashes and are features that are likely to make an appearance here.
Unfortunately, apart from the physical body, finer details regarding the DJI Mavic Air 2 is still unknown. Although it can be expected to offer better performance than previous generations, it is unlikely to match Mavic 2 Pro‘s level due to the smaller size. However, the drone maker might just include certain new features that only the newer generations in the Mavic series house. But we will have to wait for more leaks or an official statement, so stay tuned for more updates.
