DJI confirms end-of-support timeline for Mavic 2 series, Matrice 600

Tech giant DJI will officially end service and support for several of its most beloved professional and prosumer drones in the coming weeks. That includes the iconic DJI Mavic 2 Pro, the versatile DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Zoom and DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual, and the heavy-lift powerhouse DJI Matrice 600 Pro.

Here’s exactly when each one reaches its final landing:

• DJI Mavic 2 Pro: Support ends August 31, 2026
• DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Zoom: Support ends May 29, 2026
• DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual: Support ends May 29, 2026
• DJI Matrice 600 Pro: Support ends May 29, 2026

After these dates, DJI says it will no longer provide technical support, repairs, maintenance, or product-related assistance for these models or their accessories.

For current users, that means one thing: it may be time to upgrade to newer models like the Mavic 4 Pro. But for longtime pilots, it’s a farewell tour. Because you don’t just upgrade hardware; you leave behind the machines that taught you how to fly.

The drone that made everyone feel like a pro

When it was first unveiled back in August 2018, the Mavic 2 Pro redefined what a compact drone could do. This was the moment Hasselblad entered the mainstream drone conversation. DJI paired a 1-inch CMOS sensor with Hasselblad color science, and suddenly aerial photography wasn’t just “good for a drone” — it was legitimately professional. Adjustable aperture? Check. 10-bit Dlog-M color profile? Also check.

For many creators, this drone was their first taste of cinematic storytelling from the sky without hauling around a massive rig. It’s no exaggeration to say the Mavic 2 Pro helped kick off the YouTube drone filmmaking boom of the late 2010s.

Enterprise drones that became first responders’ best friends

If the Mavic 2 Pro was for creators, the Enterprise line was for people doing serious, real-world work. The Mavic 2 Enterprise Zoom, also released in 2018, brought something simple but powerful: optical zoom in a compact drone. For law enforcement and inspection teams, that meant getting critical visuals without getting dangerously close.

Then came the Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual, arguably one of the most impactful compact drones in public safety history. By integrating a FLIR thermal sensor, it gave firefighters and search-and-rescue teams the ability to see heat signatures in real time. Lost hikers, hidden hotspots, nighttime operations… it changed response times and outcomes. Add modular accessories like spotlights, speakers, and beacons, and these drones became flying Swiss Army knives. Even today, many departments across the US still rely on them.

The flying tank of the skies

Long before ultra-compact drones could handle serious video work, there was the Matrice 600 Pro.

Originally introduced around 2016, this hexacopter wasn’t built for convenience; it was built for capability. With six rotors, extended flight time, and the ability to carry payloads like the Ronin-MX paired with RED cinema cameras, this thing was a flying production rig.

Hollywood used it. Industrial operators trusted it. Researchers pushed it to its limits. It wasn’t sleek, and it definitely wasn’t quiet, but it got the job done in ways smaller drones simply couldn’t at the time.

DJI says this move is part of a natural product lifecycle. And that’s true. Tech evolves fast. The company is focusing resources on newer platforms with better sensors, smarter AI, and more efficient workflows.

But here’s the thing: these weren’t just products. They were milestones. The Mavic 2 Pro made high-end aerial imaging accessible. The Enterprise line brought drones into everyday emergency response. The Matrice 600 Pro bridged the gap between drones and cinema rigs. Together, they helped define what modern drones can do today.

Support for these models will officially end between May and August 2026. After that, DJI will no longer provide repairs, technical help, or replacement services. If you still have one of these drones sitting in your kit, now might be the time to take it out again. Fly it somewhere familiar. Or somewhere new. Because in a few weeks, these legends won’t just be aging tech; they’ll be part of drone history. And honestly? They’ve earned that.
