The Mavic Pro in its folded state.

Announced in September 2016, the Mavic Pro, which was released in late 2016 was the first of the Mavic series. The drone is capable of capturing 4K video, has a flight range of 4.3 miles (6.9 km) and a flight time of 27 minutes. Top speed is 65 km/h (40 mph) in sport mode. The brand-new Ocusync transmission system can livestream video at a distance of 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) in 1080p. The Mavic Pro is equipped with the same camera as the Phantom 4 UAV, with a 78-degree field of view (FOV) instead of the Phantom's 94 degrees.^[1] The camera is a 12 MP camera that is capable of shooting 4K video at 24 frames per second (FPS). It is capable of 96 FPS when shooting in 1080p. Its camera keeps the same 60 Mbit/s bitrate seen in the Phantom 4. The Mavic Pro folds small enough to fit into a small bag (83 mm x 83 mm x 198 mm).^[2] Its legs and propellers fold underneath and to the side of the drone to form a compact package.^[3]

At the August 2017 IFA trade show, DJI announced the upgraded Mavic Pro Platinum.^[4] The upgraded version includes better battery life and improved noise reduction due to new propellers and electronic speed controllers.^[5][6]

Like the Spark, the Air also features the "Smart Capture" mode, in which the drone can be controlled by hand gestures.^[23]

Mavic Air 2

DJI Mavic Air 2 drone in flight

DJI released the new Air series member known as Air 2 on April 27, 2020. Air 2 has a 1/2 inch CMOS camera, 34 min flight time per battery, can travel up to 68.4 km/h. The remote controller of Air 2 features a new design of the Mavic family. DJI's standard controller mounts a cellphone at the bottom, requiring the operator to look down while watching the screen. Detailed illustrations for the new controller show a mount that holds the smartphone at the top, more in line of view. This resembles the mounting on the controller for the Anafi, a Mavic Air competitor made by DJI's French rival, Parrot.^[24] The original Mavic Air uses an enhanced Wi-Fi radio control system. But the Mavic Air 2 upgrades to Ocusync 2.0, a dedicated radio system that runs in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ranges (the system works in single and dual-band mode, 5.8 GHz is not supported in all regions). Drone is available with dji care This promises less interference from ambient Wi-Fi networks. It also offers a better range of up to 10 kilometers.^[24] In terms of filming, Air 2 supports RAW format, 48 MP mode, HDR video, and Hyperlapse 240 fps slow-motion mode.^[25] Mavic Air 2 has a safety feature that warns users about nearby planes and helicopters via its controller.^[26]

The DJI Air 3 was released in July 2023 and introduced several updates compared to its predecessor.^[28] It includes a wide-angle camera alongside a 3 × zoom camera, both of which feature a 48 MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS stacked sensor.^[29] This sensor size is smaller when compared to the Air 2S, but is comparable to that of the Mini 3 Pro.^[28] The drone has a weight of 720 g, which is an increase from the 595 g of the Air 2S. Its flight time is rated at 46 minutes ^[30] and video transmission system transmitting clear footage up to 20 km away. In terms of connectivity, the DJI Air 3 was upgraded to OcuSync 4, and DJI released a new version of its remote controller, the DJI RC 2. The Verge noted that while the drone remains loud during operation, its larger propellers results in a sound that has a lower frequency and is less piercing than its predecessor.^[28]

Air 3S

DJI Air 3S

The DJI Air 3S was released in October 2024 as an updated version of the Mavic Air 3 and was designed to feature improvements from its predecessor. The drone has a weight of 724 g, which is an increase from the 720 g of the Air 3. The Air 3S features two cameras including a 1 inch CMOS sensor camera capable of shooting 4K video at a maximum frame rate of 60 FPS. The drone also features a maximum flight time of 45 minutes and allows up to 20 km with OcuSync 04.^[31]

An unfolded Mavic Mini

DJI announced the Mavic Mini on October 30, 2019 as a replacement for the now discontinued DJI Spark and positioning it as a beginner camera drone.^[32][33] Its camera is on a three-axis gimbal and features a 12 MP sensor capable of 2.7K video at 30 FPS.^[34] The Mavic Mini shares similar design characteristics with the Mavic Pro and Mavic 2 series, though notable for its portability and overall small size.^[35] DJI's marketing behind the Mavic Mini focuses on the weight of the drone at 249 grams (8.8 oz), allowing it to bypass drone registration regulations in several Western countries like the United States,^[36] Canada^[37] and the United Kingdom.^[38] In Japan, a model was released with a smaller battery weighing 50 grams (1.8 oz) less, to come in under Japan's similar 200 grams (7.1 oz) limit.^[39] It has a range of 4 km as it uses Enhanced Wifi. Installed camera identifies in Exif as FC7203.

DJI Mini SE, was released mid-2021, it is basically the original DJI Mini build in DJI Mini 2 shell. It has 30 minutes flight time, 12 MP still camera, 2.7K video, and a 4 km transmission range as it uses Enhanced Wifi like the DJI Mavic Mini. Its main purpose was to be a successor for the old DJI Mini as the cheapest drone option.^[40]

Mini 2, Mini 2 SE and Mini 4K

DJI Mini 2, released November 2020,^[41] improves upon the Mavic Mini with longer flight time (31 minutes) and the ability to record 4K footage. Weighing in at 249 g, the Mini 2 can withstand level 5 winds. It has 5 quickshot modes, 3 panorama modes, HD, 2.7k and 4k video. It also has the ability to take raw 12 MP photos. The DJI Mini 2 also uses Ocusync 2.0 giving it a max transmission range of 10 km.

DJI released the Mini 2 SE on February 9, 2023. It is very similar to the Mini 2, however it has a downgraded 2.7K camera with 40 MB Bitrate.^[42]

DJI released the Mini 4K on April 29, 2024. It is very similar to the Mini 2 SE, however it has a upgraded 4K camera with 100 MB Bitrate.^[43]

The DJI Mini 3 Pro,^[44][45] was made available on May 10, 2022 with Ocusync 3.0, a 48 MP camera, obstacle avoidance sensors and a brand new DJI RC.^[46]

On December 9, 2022, DJI released the Mini 3 which was a cheaper version of the Mini 3 Pro.^[47] The main differences were the removal of the obstacle avoidance sensors and limited intelligent camera modes. On the controller side, the DJI Mini 3 is compatible with the DJI RC although the drone uses the Ocusync 2.0 instead of O3 used in the DJI Mini 3 Pro and downgrades the video transmission range and resolution from 1080p to 720p.^[48]

Mini 4 Pro

DJI Mini 4 Pro

The Mini 4 Pro was released on September 25, 2023. The Mini 4 Pro introduced upgrades in key areas while remaining under 250 g, with 4K/60 fps HDR video, a flight time of 34 or 45 minutes, and a revamped DJI O4 FHD digital video transmission system transmitting clear footage up to 20 km away. While the Mini 3 offered a budget-friendly option by omitting obstacle avoidance sensors and certain intelligent flight modes, the Mini 4 Pro has retained these features.

3rd party applications SDK support

DJI supports a mobile SDK for developing Android and iOS applications for use with DJI Enterprise drones.^[110] Some of the drones are also supported by UX SDK and Windows SDK.^[110] In 2022 DJI support has stated they are prioritizing enterprise-level aircraft. SDK version 5 for Mavic 3 and Mini 3 series were released only with Android support. Older drones used SDK version 4 which had support for iOS and Android.

Examples for 3rd party applications are mission planning, photogrammetry and mapping apps such as Lichi, DroneDeploy, Pix4D and Dronelink.^[111][112]

Use by military operators

The DJI Mavic 3 is used by Israel in Gaza (London Review of Books 46(3):19). Despite DJI's own prohibition on the export of their products for military usage, DJI drones have been used extensively by Ukrainian and Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[113] They are used in reconnaissance roles, as well as being modified to carry light explosives such as grenades, mines and molotov cocktails for utilization in support of combat missions.^{[114] [115]}

It was also reported that the same type of drones with the same modifications are being extensively used in the 2023 War in Sudan by the Sudanese Army.
