An amazing amount of tech in a pocketable drone, the DJI Mavic Air is the best travel drone you're going to find right now.

The DJI Mavic Air's folding design makes it great for travel while its 4K-resolution camera and three-axis gimbal capture nice-looking photos and video; Automated shooting options and obstacle avoidance make it easy to get good results fast

Flight time is typically between 15 to 18 minutes, so expect to buy extra batteries; Piloting by app can be frustrating, especially on smaller screens; Obstacle avoidance doesn't cover you from the sides or top

The DJI Mavic Air is an easy-to-fly drone that shoots great 4K video, packed into an impossibly small package.

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.

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

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'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
