DJI Mavic Drone Guide

This epic video by top contributor Majestic shows two things: (1) the skyline of Chicago is tough to beat and (2) the new DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone is one amazing aerial video platform, with video quality that holds up well against much more expensive models.  Majestic uses some of the built in hyperlapse functionality of the Mavic 2 to produce some of the best 4k footage of the Chicago skyline anywhere.  The video includes spectacular footage of  the city's skyscrapers, the Lake Michigan waterfront, and more.

Contributor bbloss took his new DJI Mavic 2 Zoom out for a trial run and captured some spectacular cityscapes using the hyperlapse feature.  The aerial footage he took perfectly demonstrates the capabilities of its higher quality camera.  The hyperlapse night views of the traffic flow and streetlights below in this drone video are super crisp and dreamy.  

The latest product announcement from DJI has arrived. Dubbing it the “marvel of modern engineering,” DJI unveiled the new Mavic 2 Line – the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom. DJI said consumers wanted 3 main things – a more versatile camera, improved obstacle avoidance, and longer battery life. They say the Mavic 2 line is just that, “better, faster, quieter” than consumer level drones of its size have ever been. Watch for more info on the Mavic 2.

Top contributor th3venture created this truly memorable video from a trip to Hawaii where he was engaged to his beloved.  The proposal took place atop a hill on the Na Pali Coast, a wilderness area in the northwestern part of the island.  You can see the moment where he pops the question at around the 2:00 mark in the video.  It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place for anything let alone committing to a lifetime together; not surprisingly, she said "yes"! This video was a DVOW nominee in April 2019.

The Mayan people, indigenous to the land stretching across parts of Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula portion of Mexico, were known for their sophisticated perspectives on science, engineering, and the arts.  Contributor and drone pilot Dronebros spent two years traveling the Mayan lands and created this video.  His work earned nominations for the AirVuz Drone Video of the Week and Drone Video of the Month, and was the Winner for the 2nd Annual Drone Video Awards' People & Lifestyle category. 

The subject of this Drone Video Award-winning video by top contributor and pilot BeemFlights is the great Colosseum of Rome.  It was completed in 80 AD, having been largely financed with Roman plunder from the capture of the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.  The Colosseum seated up to 50k spectators and was the largest of its kind in the world.  Situated adjacent to the Roman Forum on land that had been burned in the Great Rome Fire of 64 AD, it's one of the most-visited sites in the Eternal City.  

Flying the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and shooting with the GoPro Hero 7 Black, drone pilot Duncan DroneNuts brings us this magical, 4K aerial video of beautiful Iceland in winter. With the many videos we have seen of Iceland’s famous fjords, glaciers, landscapes, mountains, and more it is hard to find something that seems original. However, Duncan does a wonderful job capturing the snowy scenes that are usually overlooked when capturing the island nation. This video was a Drone Video of the Week nominee in May, 2019.

Top contributor Muhamad AbuShakra used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 to create this spectacular aerial video of some of the most beautiful alpine scenery in Europe.   It was shot in the course of a weeklong trip through the Northern Limestone Alps of Bavaria in southern Germany and Tyrol in western Austria.  These peaks, which reach up to about 3k meters (about 10k ft.) are as spectacular as the taller mountains of the Pennine and Graian Alps to the south and west. This was a DVOW winner in May, 2019.

Check out this epic 4K video of Hong Kong compliments of top contributor and pilot hamza_mujtaba.  Shot using both a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and a ground camera, it offers something for everyone - shots of the city from the mountains behind it, epic views of the harbor, and scenes from the streets of this cosmopolitan city on the Pearl River Delta.  It even has footage from some of the outlying islands of Hong Kong, administered as a semi-autonomous region of China since 1997.  This video won DVOW in May 2019.
