DJI Mavic Air
Excuse the pun, but drone photography is taking off! DJI's Mavic Air is one of the more popular models for drone photography, and for a few very good reasons.
Fold It Up, Carry It Away
One of the great advantages of the Mavic Air is its foldability and portability. The drone is described as "ultraportable" drone which can be folded up and put into a backpack, or even a large pocket.
Portable But Panoramic
Dramatic panoramas are easier than ever to create. The Mavic Air can stitch together 25 photos in eight seconds to make super-sharp 32 MP Sphere panoramas.
Smooth And Clear Images
The 3-Axis Gimbal & 4K Camera offers a vibration range reduced to a minuscule 0.005°. In other words, shaky and blurry shots are a thing of the past. The 4K camera can record at 30 fps, capture HD video at 120 fps, and take 12-mp still shots.
Safer And Better Flying
All that photographic wizardry is at risk if flight safety is compromised. The Mavic Air is equipped with sensor systems and other technologies that greatly enhance its flying capabilities. These include Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems, which help the drone bypass obstacles in front of and behind it.
Connectivity Reaches New Heights
The Mavic Air has enhanced Wi-Fi video transmission to maintain a better signal and connectivity. This new transmission system gives you a 720p live view from up to 4km away.
A newer model DJI Mavic Air 2 was released in April 2020.

DJI Mavic Air review
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

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

DJI Does It Again: Mavic Air Review
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.
A lot of people have been asking me … why would I want to buy the Mavic Air when I can just buy the Mavic Pro. While others have voice their concerns, and wondered why DJI would want to cannibalize its own consumer drone business, with many different drones (of similar function and features).
- 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
DJI Mavic Air review: Portable drone packs a powerful punch
The Mavic Air is easily one of the most impressive drones to date. It's small, powerful, feature-rich and portable. What's more, its batteries last far longer than the smaller Spark, offering around 20 minutes of flying time in not-too-blustery conditions. It's not quite perfect, though.- 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 Mavic Air Review: The Best Camera Drone
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
Incredible bit of kit
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
