The stunning DJI Mavic 2 Pro has won the hotly contested Video Product of the Year gong at the Trusted Reviews Awards 2018.
DJI has continued to pull ahead of its drone rivals this year and the folding Mavic 2 Pro is its finest flying camera yet, largely thanks to its one-inch sensor and Hasselblad camera.
Its ability to shoot fantastic 4K video at 30fps and excellent 20-megapixel stills would be impressive enough, but the fact that this comes from folding design that slips easily into your backpack makes the Mavic 2 Pro the best drone we’ve seen so far.
Another big reason for the Mavic 2 Pro’s success is its superb flying experience, which offers the best obstacle avoidance we’ve seen in a drone and a Sport Mode that lets it fly at over 40mph.
All of this ensured that the Mavic 2 Pro was one of the few products this year to receive a rare 5/5 maximum score in our review. Our verdict reads: “On their own, improvements like the long battery life, quiet operation, nimble flying, stable transmission and handy safety features make the Mavic 2 Pro a notable upgrade over the original.
“But it’s the new Hasselblad camera and one-inch sensor, which offer the best quality stills and video footage we’ve seen from a drone in this sort of price range, that make it something of a stunner.”
The Mavic 2 Pro is a real technological feat, so we’re happy to award DJI with the Video Product of the Year gong at the Trusted Reviews Awards 2018.
