10 Lug New Mavic 2 Concept (not official)

The main innovation could concern the camera installed on the new Mavic 2, a new DJI modular system.

It would be possible to change the gimbal and sensor, this will increase the versatility of the drone.

Mavic 2 could also have a new integrate a 360 ° obstacle avoidance system.

A drone therefore very interesting, but we will not see during the DJI event scheduled for July 18, recently postponed to a date to be allocated.

The possibility to change gimbal and sensor is very interesting, increasing a lot the versatility of the drone.

The gimbal could be used as an Osmo:

Here is a picture found on web about the new DJI Patent:

There will be also the possibility of a new Mavic 2 Pro with new Hasselblad’s Lenses

Mavic 2 Pro is supposed to have also a new zoom system based on experience coming from compact cameras:

This gimbal could also be used by hand with the mobile phone or mounted on the new Rovers.

We will see it only on September 2018…
