The DJI Mavic Air 2 is the company’s latest unmanned drone in the more affordable Mavic Air series. It was recently announced with one of its highlighting features being the 8K hyperlapse capture. But unfortunately, it seems like the Mavic Air 2 currently suffers from some serious issues during the 8K hyperlapse mode.
For those unaware, the hyperlapse feature was first introduced for the Mavic 2 series of drones and allowed users to take a series of images while the drone is flying. These images are then combined into a time lapse videos with motion, with all of the processing being handled by the drone itself. This results in a few very picturesque and interesting captures.

In the Mavic Air 2, the drone is capable of hyperlapse in 8K through its 48 megapixel camera. Although, it suffers from a few major issues, including a large amount of shake is visible in the captured video, which is only found in the 8K footage and not in 1080p. Furthermore, DJI hasn’t offered hyperlapse in 4K for some unknown reason along with a prolonged 6 second gap in between 8K shots, in comparison to just 2 seconds on 1080p video capture.
The issues don’t end there, as the 8K hyperlapse can sometimes get corrupted. The reason for this is the method of capture, as the DJI Mavic Air 2 uses four 12 megapixel photos stitched together from its 48 megapixel camera. This sometimes results in a few video editing softwares not being able to detect or display up to 2 of the 4 stitched images, with Adobe Premiere Pro being the only program running the footage as intended.
