DJI has finally launched its latest drone camera - the DJI Mavic Air 2 which is the successor to the original Mavic Air. It's a mid-range portable drone which comes with improved camera, sensors, and compact form factor. The Mavic Air 2 is already available for pre-orders on its official website.

DJI Mavic Air 2 Feature

The company has made some important improvements with the camera and flight time. The Mavic Air 2 features a 48MP camera with the 1 /2.3-inch sensor. It is capable of shooting images in 12MP via pixel binning technology. The camera sensor comes with 84-degrees of the field of view and an f/2.8 aperture, which is similar to the first generation.

The camera sensor is also capable of shooting video in 4K resolution and hyperlapses in 8K resolution.

Design-wise it looks similar to the other Mavic drones what DJI offers in its portfolio. The newly launched drone comes in the grey color scheme with a foldable design. The camera sensor is attached with a 3-axis gimbal which is responsible for stabilization.

At the rear part, it houses an obstacle avoidance sensors added to the forward and downward sensor. It also sports downward-facing LDE lights which help users to identify the drone in low light condition.

The propellers of the newly launch drone feature quick release and folding design. The DJI Mavic Air 2 comes with a total weight of 570grams with battery. The company has also increased the battery capacity and the Mavic Air 2 draws power from a 3,500 battery.

The inclusion of a bigger battery ensures that the Mavic Air 2's fly time is bumped up to 34 minutes, which is way higher than the 21 minutes fly time available on the predecessor. Besides, the drone is capable of achieving a maximum speed of 68.4 km/hour with a maximum descent of up to 5m/s.

Considering the weight of the drone, users have to register it with the aviation department of their respective countries.

Furthermore, it comes with OcuSync 2.0 out-of-the-box, which is a feature from the Mavic Pro. It ensures a more reliable long-distance attachment by enabling the use of the DJI Goggles.

The company has also changed the design of the remote controller. It packs an ergonomic design for a comfortable grip and features a long battery life of 240 minutes.

Apple's focus on consumer market was renewed when the company launched the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the new Mac Pro. The portable power feature earned praises. New reports suggest that Apple might be working on a new 'Pro Mode' to speed up the notebooks. The Pro Mode for MacBook can be turned on and off manually, 9to5Mac reports.

Pro Mode For MacBook

The new mode goes by the reference name Catalina 10.15.3 beta and doesn't appear to be a working feature as yet. According to a key text string from the beta, the Pro Mode is described the the "apps may run faster, but battery life may decrease and fan noise may increase".

At the same time, the other strings note: "Fan speed limit overridden", hinting that turning on the Pro Mode will also override the fan speed limits. It is believed that the fan speed limits will automatically reset the following day, similar to how Do Not Disturb mode functions on the macOS.

Pro Mode For Gaming

Apple is pushing its MacBook^[1] for pro gamers and maybe the Pro Mode might pave the way. Generally, gaming PC^[2]s max out their fan and cooling settings and is considered a basic requirement among many. There are plenty of cases where gamers have accepted the extra noise from the cooling systems as it gives the machines the extra power.

Comparatively, the 16-inch MacBook Pro^[3] packs a better cooling system than the previous models. From the looks of it, the Pro Mode on MacBook might lead to better cooling systems in the next models. But, the details about the Pro Mode are vague.

For one, we don't know which of the MacBook models will get the update, but the efficiency will be limited by the cooling systems. Reports^[4] note that the next generation of MacBook, which might be coming soon, will feature new fan designs and cooling system to adapt to the Pro Mode.
