DJI drones are versatile for photography and really fun to fly. Their newest model, the DJI Mavic Air 2, can film in 4K at 60 frames per second! That is seriously amazing. It can reach amazing heights, speeds, and distances, so it’s much more than a toy. However, when used responsibly it elevates your senses—you’ll feel like you’re a bird in the sky! Read more about the newest drone in the DJI family, then enter for a chance to win the demo model that we had reviewed on the blog.
What can you do with a drone
A drone is more than just a flying camera. It does fly; and it has a camera. But fly a drone and suddenly you realize this is a very unique experience. First there is the feeling of lift-off—you’ll never forget that surge of excitement. Remember you are in control, elevating, tilting, drifting to the left and right. There is a learning curve, but it’s not steep; quickly you adjust your perspective to react appropriately to capture the bird’s eye view of your surroundings. If you are able to use it near your home, you’ll will gain a new appreciation for the world around you. For me, rising about ten metres above my house allowed me to capture a view of several gulf islands including Saltspring and Pender.
DJI packs their drones with amazing features
With the new DJI Mavic Air 2, you will be able to do so much more than you might think from the moment you turn it on. It is so easy to use. We sent the prize for this contest to Shelly to test it out and she was amazed that she instantly was able to capture smooth, professional looking videos, right out of the box. Watch her video to see some of the images of her farm taken with the drone.
Shelly shows what’s included with the drone, how to assemble the drone, and offers some tips on how to fly it. She also speaks to many of the unique features that enable you to do some really interesting things with simple menu selections. I love the Helix Quickshot function!
The Mavic Air 2 has many features to help you get the most from flying it. It can even help you find safe flying areas near your home. This is very important; you will want to be sure about what areas near you allow drones and if there are maximum height restrictions too. You should read Shelly’s article for a more in-depth descripton of some of the key features that she tested. Be sure to return to this page to learn what you need to do to enter our contest.

The auto-follow feature is definitely the coolest!

I like the idea of the drone finding safe flying areas near my home.
Too many features to name; but, I really like that you could charge the remote and the drone battery with the same charger. And, it can fly at 64 kph at maximum speed!
Wow! This drone has a lot of cool features like auto take off and auto landing. It also has Normal, Tripod, and Sport modes which makes a person who is a novice easier to learn how to fly this drone.
Sounds like an awesome technology.
For all of these i would love to try once with this drone.
I really like that it has the capability to take videos in 8K Hyperlapse! And, it has voice prompts so it would make it easy to fly the drone in the beginning while learning the controls.
The portability feature is great, would love to try it.
Would love to try the auto follower
The following features grab my attention for my photography adventures… have adventures and friendly competitions with friends so this will be great.
Features that grab my attention:
1) 34-minute maximum flight time
2) 1/2″ CMOS sensor captures 48MP pictures, 8K hyperlapse, 4K Ultra HD/60fps, and 1080p/240fps videos with crystal-clear quality.
really neat
I met a guy that has a larger dvi. I was amazed at its features. I asked him what features I should look for if I were to buy one. He recommended a smaller model dvi, simply for the ease of packing for vacation. Then I see this one. I want one!
auto follower?! how cool is that!
the auto function as it would be convenient
The auto-follow feature is one thing that I would like to try
Wanting to try the auto follow!

I’d love to use the auto-follow that lets you lock onto a subject and follow them on my kid when they’re riding their bike on our local trails!
I’d definitely try out the auto-follow feature of this drone… if I had one 😉
camera would be very interesting
distance of camera view
I would like to try the 4k HD video
Wow, there is so much I love about this drone. From being light-weight and foldable, to the max distance (10K), the 34 minute run-time and the huge storage capabilities (8K on board and up to 256K micro SD card), it is just what the doctor ordered, LOL!
the hyperlapse!
I would love the auto take off and landing
Would love to try out the camera
Would love to try the 8k hyperlapse. Also eager to go on a hike with it since it’s so portable and take in the view.
I don’t get to travel much so I would love to take photos of our beautiful local city overheard!
Would love to take this on vacation and get unique angles that are otherwise not available
H Bestbuy, I would love to try the max speed on the DJI Mavic Air 2 which is stated as 68kph. I want to see if it can keep up with me on my dirt bike without disconnecting and also keeping up with my speed. I think I might be able to get some amazing closeup photos and 4K videos of me doing some basic jumps on the bike with the drone hovering above. Fingers crossed. Cheers
Obstacles are a thing of the past
Obstacles are a thing of the past when using obstacle avoidance
Would love the scanner. Did a !ot of paintings in isolation …sure could put this to use!
I want to try the 8K hyperlapse, I think it would be amazing out on the lake
Looks interesting & fun
I want to try the 8K hyperlapse
Flying this drone sounds like a lot of fun.Love the camera too.
I would love the camera, the shots would be amazing
I would love to try out the camera..
take-off and landing automatically is neat
Being able to film 4K at 60 frames per second means that the resolution is pretty impressive for a drone. Would love to see pictures of the Rockies using a drone with that quality.
Obstacle avoidance will come in really handy for protecting your investment in the drone!
