The DJI Avata 2 features a bigger sensor than its predecessor. The 1/1.3-inch CMOS Super-Wide-Angle 12MP camera also expands on the dynamic range available and performs better in low-light scenarios. According to DJI, its ultra-wide-angle lens allows for a viewing angle of up to 155 degrees, offering up unique perspectives and tight shots. The camera also enables immersive aerial photography and HDR videography at up to 4K/60fps, as well as slow-motion footage at 2.7K/120fps.
