DJI has introduced two additions to its Mavic series: Mavic 2 Pro, with an integrated Hasselblad camera, and the Mavic 2 Zoom, the first foldable consumer drone with optical zoom capability.

The Mavic 2 incorporates the folding design of the Mavic Pro. The Mavic 2 has new gimbal-stabilized cameras and advanced features like Hyperlapse and ActiveTrack and offers a flight time of up to 31 minutes. The Mavic 2 Pro is the first drone with an integrated Hasselblad camera and houses a 1-inch CMOS sensor with a 10-bit Dlog-M color profile. Powered by a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, the Mavic 2 Zoom is DJI’s first foldable consumer drone with zoom, combining two-times optical zoom (24-48mm) with two-times digital zoom. Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight operations for large UAS have begun at Grand Sky, the commercial unmanned aerial systems (UAS)-focused research and development park in Grand Forks, ND. Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, Grand Forks Air Force Base leaders, legislators, industry members, tenants and Grand Sky partner organizations gathered to celebrate the milestone at an event held at Grand Sky last week. Tractica forecasts that global drone-enabled services revenue will increase from $337.6 million in 2017 to $22.7 billion annually by 2026. The market intelligence firm anticipates that the three leading industries in the drone services market will be the film and media industry, the utility, energy, and infrastructure sectors, and the agriculture industry.
