4. Technical Specifications

4.1 Dimensions and Weight (Folded / Unfolded)

·        Folded (L × W × H): Approx. 214 × 91 × 84 mm

·        Unfolded (L × W × H): Approx. 322 × 242 × 84 mm

·        Weight: Approx. 907 g

 

4.2 Sensors

・ Omnidirectional obstacle sensing

・Forward, Backward, and Downward Vision Sensors

・Lateral and Upward Infrared Sensors

・GPS & GLONASS: For real-time positional data and route planning.

・High-resolution camera 

 

4.3 Mobility

The Mavic 2 is highly mobile, capable of flying at up to a maximum of 44 mph (72 km/h) in Sport Mode. 

 

4.4 Power Source

·        3850-mAh lithium-polymer 4S intelligent flight battery (LiPo 4S) provides a flight time of around 30 minutes under optimal conditions.

·        Rechargeable via proprietary or third-party charging hubs, but battery swaps can be employed for continuous operations.

 

4.5 Control System

・Remote controller with built-in or smartphone/tablet-based display. The DJI Go App (smartphone) and the DJI Assistant software (desktop) provide real-time camera view with live video feed functionality, flight telemetry, mission programming, and controls for advanced flight modes (depending on firmware).

・Semi-autonomous and fully autonomous waypoint navigation modes are available, which are useful for efficient delivery routes.

​

4.6 Connectivity

・Utilizes DJI's OcuSync 2.0 or 3.0 technology (varying by firmware updates) for transmission, providing a range of up to 8 km with low-latency video feed.

・App-based data storage (logs, flight data, and media) can be synchronized with DJI Cloud for backup and firmware updates

・Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for local firmware updates and some quick control features.

 

4.7 Operating Environment

·        Mavic 2 is designed to operate in mild to moderate weather conditions, with caution advised in high wind or precipitation. Strong winds, rain, or extreme temperatures may degrade flight performance.

5. Functions and Applications

5.1 High-Resolution Aerial Imaging

Equipped with professional-grade cameras for capturing 4K video and high-resolution.

 

5.2 Real-Time Surveillance / Monitoring

·        The high-resolution camera supports live aerial monitoring, including route assessments and obstacle detection.

·        Flight data logs can track takeoff and landing times for efficient scheduling.

 

5.3 Data Collection

Collects imagery, flight logs, and environmental data (e.g., altitude, temperature), potentially valuable for logistics optimization.

Data analytics on flight performance can help refine route planning, reduce battery consumption, or enhance safety.

 

5.4 Intelligent Flight Modes

·        ActiveTrack: Automatically follows a chosen subject.

 

·        Hyperlapse: Creates motion time-lapse sequences that capture an area over an extended period.

5.5 Waypoint and Autonomous Flight

Pre-programmed flight paths to autonomously survey specific areas.

 

5.6 Obstacle Avoidance

A robust sensor system reduces crash risk and enables stealth-like surveillance flights. Pilots can operate at low altitudes around buildings or vegetation with minimal collision risk.

 

5.7 Geofencing and Return-to-Home

Built-in geofencing features aim to keep drones out of restricted airspace. However, operators can unlock certain areas with authorization.

Built-in Return-to-Home function, to make the drone automatically land or return to a customizable home destination.

 

5.8 Remote Area Access

·        Reaches locations with limited road infrastructure (e.g., mountainous regions or areas affected by natural disasters).

 

·        May provide vital deliveries in time-critical scenarios, such as delivering emergency medication.
