I decided it was time to get a drone, and chose this one from the reviews on other sites. I had read the horror stories about people going out on their first flight and the drone shooting up into the upper atmosphere never to be heard from again, but that did not happen.

Ever since DJI released their brand new Mavic Air model, it seems as though Spark and Mavic Pro went to the never-never-land . Their sales have been steadily dropping over the course of the last couple of months, all whilst DJI Mavic Air has been making quite the havoc out there.

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.

As you can see from this review, my experience with the Mavic Air has been very positive. Just a week with the Mavic Air was enough to decide that I no longer need the Phantom 3 Pro (which I will be selling in the near future) and convince me to move down to something that is far more portable,...

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.

One part Mavic Pro, one part Spark, all delicious

Great compact design; Clever obstacle avoidance system; Fun autonomous features

Average image quality; Short battery life is limiting; Wi-Fi connection can be flaky

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.

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.

Sitting in between the beginner-friendly and the more premium , the Mavic Air is the Chinese company's mid-range, mini 4K drone. The Mavic Air is is smaller than the Mavic 2 range, but still manages to pack in 4K video recording at 30fps and a range of handy, automated flying modes called...

Incredibly compact and convenient to carry around; Easy to fly with intelligent flight modes; Great video quality; HDR and panoramic still images; Includes built-in storage

Need to opt for the Fly More Combo to get the most out of it; Switching between control methods can be fiddly

Despite a few minor gripes, though, the DJI Mavic Air is a superb product. It's a fully featured quadcopter that will fold up and fit into a small bag, or even a large pocket. You can control it in the traditional way, use your phone to conveniently tap and fly, or direct it about just by waving...

Super light and compact; Excellent video and decent photo quality; Flys superbly

Battery life not the best
