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.

Believe the hype !
A mechanical masterpiece. If your just getting into drones, get this one, no doubt about it. Construction is of the highest order, everything feels solid to the touch. Compact too, when folded, about the same length as a iPhone 6,7 or 8 plus.
DJI LACK of Support
Just a word of warning to anyone who's considering a purchase from DJI, the units are great when they're functioning properly BUT if you have a problem and need support or repairs from this company, don't count on it. From day one I had communication issues between my drone and the remote control.
Go fly and so much more
I was torn between this item and the Go Fly set from Best Buy. I was going to buy it from Best Buy since it was cheaper, but they didn't have it in stock, so I ordered this. And I'm really glad I did. While $70 more, it comes with way more than $70 worth of extra items.
Possibly The Best In It's Class - Needs A Good Mobile Phone
I have only been flying drones for a few months and I started with a GoPro Karma as I could use it with my Hero 5 camera. I know some of those are famous for falling out of the sky but my one has been pretty good but did have total loss of control for no apparent reason and it nearly hit a building.
Ease of use
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He has had many hours of pleasure from it. Easy to use and has produced some wonderful footage of our home and favourite places to visit.
Simply Awesome
A true 4K cinematic experience from one of the best drone manufacturers. I compared others but decided that on performance versus compactness this was the only one to have. The combo is well worth having due to the 3 batteries and charger giving over an hour of total flying time.
Solid as a rock.. exceeded all expectations
Was a bit nervous to get this one because it looks like a toy, but it is perfect for a first time flyer and for pros alike. First fight was great, then tried it in 30-45km winds and it did not budge or show on the footage... also received it lightning fast, not even 12 hours later. Worth every cent!
Terrific Drone, Great Video Quality
I use this drone primarily for roof inspections on tall or steep commercial properties. it's easy to control in gusty conditions, has a nice long flight duration of over 20 minutes, and takes fantastic quality videos and photos.
