Staying true to the Mavic line, the two drones can fold and fit into a bag, making them extremely portable. The 20-megapixel 1-inch CMOS sensor comes with a variable aperture ranging from f/2.8 to f/11. Alongside the mentioned 10-bit HDR video recording support, it also has 10-bit Dlog-M colour profile to up its aerial photography game.

It supports hybrid autofocus, full-HD video recording.

It also sports a Dolly Zoom feature that automatically adjusts focus while zooming.
Both the drones support Hyperlapse, Hyperlight for better low light photography, ActiveTrack 2.0 for following subjects automatically during flight, and four panorama modes (Sphere, 180 degree, horizontal, and vertical) as well. Flight time on a single charge is touted to be up to 31 minutes, max speed is listed at 72kph in Sport mode, and it comes with omnidirectional obstacle sensing that enables less bumping into obstacles in the front or at the back.
