DJI's commitment to innovation comes through in the company's latest consumer drone: the Mavic Air is the near-perfect love child of the very successful Mavic Pro and the compact and user-friendly Spark .

Incredible portability, 4K video at up to 100Mbps; 12MP HDR stills, Near-perfect obstacle avoidance, 8GB internal storage

Slightly jerky gimbal controls; Could have better range; Need multiple batteries for a great flying experience

Awesome reliable product. Thes sales member who served me did a great job helping me find the most suitable drone for my needs.

This is the smallest 4k drone we have ever flown. Buy it if you need a tiny but capable drone. Don't buy it if you're looking for a low light monster.

Thanks to DJI, we'll be taking a quick look at their latest consumer drone – the Mavic Air. This ultraportable drone is compact, light-weight, foldable and offers 4K recording at 30fps. In terms of placement, it sits

Compact and light-weight; Super easy to control; 4K recording; 3-axis gimbal; Smartcapture (hand gesture; 21 minutes flight time; Same coverage (range and distance) as Mavic Pro

Pricey

While not perfect, the Mavic Air is easily one of the most impressive drones to date. It's portable, powerful and packed with features. What's more, its batteries last far longer than the smaller Spark.

Portable design means it's easy to carry around; Full of features; Quick Shot modes are a highlight; Battery life is decent for a drone this size

ActiveTrack tracking didn't work reliably; Video was often oversaturated; Auto exposure slow to play catch-up; App menu system is still quite complex

DJI's Mavic Pro made waves for its portability: It was the first drone to have arms that folded against its body, making it supercompact. Since it launched, many others have fielded knockoffs with a similar design, but it looks like only DJI can knock the Mavic Pro off its perch as our favorite...

Very easy to fly; Great photos and video; Innovative gesture controls; autonomous flight modes; Object avoidance

Hard to switch between camera modes in app

Bought the drone to expand the story telling process. Its very compact, easy to use and surprisingly powerful! It does struggle in very strong winds but that is a given. I would recommend getting extra batteries or the combo option as high winds = more power consumption.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls; Small

When DJI revealed the Mavic Pro in late 2016 , it ended up being a turning point for the company. DJI was already the dominant name in consumer drones thanks to the Phantom series , but the Mavic Pro was cheaper, smaller and downright meaner-looking.

Incredibly portable; Excellent battery life for size; Solid camera performance

Shorter range than Mavic Pro; Minor connection quirks

It's new, it's loaded with new features and it easily travels with you. They say the best camera is the one you have with you. The same would be said here. It's easy to fly, takes great quality video and stills. Will it stay up as long as the Mavic Pro

This drunker is cruel to basically everything it does. It follows you, you can control it with your hand, it's shooting 4k and it has a lot of security systems that will make it foolproof to fly. Why not full pot Because my flew away. Yep, it's just stuck.
