Thanks for the review and for all the details. Can I recharge the batteries using a power bank? What kind of port it has. As it has just 21 mins of flight mode, I want to know if it can be charged when I travel where I will have just a power bank with no power supply for a week during my Himalayan trekking. I will definitely carry more batteries.
So I saw on some videos that the mavic air is more agile and faster because it is capable of leaning more aggressively which makes it faster/more agile. Do you think this makes it better in the wind even though it's lighter than the mavic? I'm interested to see the relationship between the aggressiveness of tilt vs weight of the drone in windy conditions
I could you get so much less views that Casey or iJustine ? Your review is a really good and precise one and you speak about settings and options that no one talks about yet. You deserve a lot more gratitude for your work.
Can an iPad be used with the controller? What's Martin talking about?....have to fly line of sight...? There's still the orientation display in the lower left, correct?
Tom, I really enjoy your posts. I try to view them whenever possible. I believe It was you who mentioned in one of your segments about the Course-Lock feature no longer being available on the Mavic Air - I would really like to know your view of the new Tap-Fly suit of options on the Mavic Air. I personally think that they more than make up for the the absence of the Course Lock feature! You do such a great job going into detail with your reviews, I think your subscribers might appreciate it as well, since few (if any, to date) have covered this powerful new addition to the Air. Keep up the great work!
None of the early reviewers have properly compared the Intelligent Flight modes with the Mavic Pro. The Mavic Air does not have Course Lock, POI, Home Lock, or Fixed Wing mode. Course Lock and POI are absolute essentials for many of the Cinematic shots I like to use. I also haven't seen any evidence that the Active Track feature on Mavic Air includes the Profile and Spotlight modes of the Mavic Pro (we've only seen Trace mode). Profile is the most important tracking mode for most movie scenes using Active Track. I guess keeping quite on certain details was a condition of being an early reviewer. To ensure we remain in the dark until after the initial launch sales, DJI still haven't released the manual download for Mavic Air.
What opinion do you have regarding the delay of the video on the phone? Could you fly it away with a good video signal? Greetings from the Canary Islands
As a potential first drone purchaser I found your video very informative. Well done! I also enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful places captured with the Mavic Air. Bravo!
Hey Tom, first of all: thank you for this overall review of this drone! After watching this video I see a point where I feel like I have to give you a hint here: please be careful with the data of focal length and f-stops considered to the crop factor. I know that the manufacturers are giving those data but technically they are wrong. What we've got here is a 4.3mm lens with a f2.8 aperture on a sensor with a crop factor of 5.6 That means we can talk about a lens which has an equivalent of a 24mm focal length, but with an aperture equivalent of f16 Telling people it is an 24mm f2.8 is like measuring the width of the drone in centimeters while measuring the hight in inches without telling anyone. All in all a very good review, keep going on!
Yes I recently crashed an i2 reversing to reveal a shot, so I concur with you, reversing sensors are very important. There has been a sneak peek of a rear sensor module for the i2, hope you can do a video on this. Regards Tony of Australia
Best review of Mavic Air!!! What is the wind impact on Mavic Air? 430g to 743g Mavic Pro...the question for me is really important because at the North Sea there is every day wind and if the Mavic Air shakes too much the 100MBit/s does not really help...Cheers DrDuu
Thanks, fantastic video. But... The background, which was panning horizontally in the Circling, Helix, and Boomerang mode, looked "jumpy" and not smooth. Is this a compression artifact with RUclips or the result of jerked turning by the drone while filming? Thanks!
Great review and awesome footage.Just wondering the return to home feature , returns to last point of take off, not bank to controller, or do you have that option? Would be nice when filming from a boat...could be especially bad if battery runs low and it returns to home , but home is no longer there due to boat moved..
Just looked at the raw footage. That looks almost like my Phantom 4 Pro footage (-2 sharpening user as well). Clean, lots of details, no crazy oversharpening and good DR! Really impressed, especially after that Mavic Pro (Platinum) video mess...
Very helpful video. Just one thing popped up. Can we use our DJI Spark compatible ipad holders or shall we buy a new one compatible with Mavic Air. Another thing is, as far as I can see the iphone plug is now attached to two extendable arms of the RC. So how will the ipad holder will fit into these arms. Many thanks in advance for the responses...
jeffrey Jackman I’m thinking the Mavic II will include all of these advancements and a few more to boot, I too am happy with the Mavic, it’s still an awesome machine. It’d be nice to have the asteroid and boomerang video options though.
To give you a quick tip towards your Switzerland incident where the card was full. You should get one of those USB dongles that convert your phones charging socket into a USB port. Then you can carry around an SD card reader and hook it up to your phone to empty the drone card.
hello. i have 2 questions about the diffrents options filming (dronies, circle around, etc...): 1) how the mavic do to get target in center? use the gps in TX? or just target "silhouette" , like tracking? 2) when doing dronies circle and other option filming, if there is obstacle, did the drone only stop, or get aroud obstacle and continue the dronie and other asking filming? thank you.
Hey Tom, great videos. I have just found your channel after buying a mavic air. Not my first camera drone but its an awesome package. Keep on bringing thte awesome content
can the limit distance in Europe be unlocked ...or if I buy the drone from the usa would this make it able to go 4 km ..or wouldd it still be limited ???
The rear facing obstacle avoidance, I find with my Mavic, flying towards the sun can stop my drone moving, flying backwards fixes this. Not so with the Mavic Air, you’d have to use sport mode or fly sideways. Can just the rear sensors be turned off while leaving the front sensors active?
Hi Tom, same question here, maybe it is also interesting for your English audience: What about noise? Platinum is making less noise vs. the Pro. What about the Air? Do you get full attention while starting somewhere just based on the noise that it will make?
All of these cool modes like boomerang are all selfie modes? What if you would like to get these sweeping shots with something else as the focal point? Can you choose the focal point to fly those intelligent flight modes? Also, did the props get in the shop flying sport mode? And will it finally hold a phone that is in a protective case???
AV8R Tom I can only answer you question about if the controller holds now bigger phones/phones with cases and yes they made the slot a lot bigger so it should fit your phone + case
Hello Tom and thanks for all good work trying educated and help other flyers. I have question. Say, you’re standing on steep cliff high 70m above the sea, your Mavic Air is in distance over the sea, RTH is set at 50metres and for some reason craft is auto returning to home point at those 50metres. How it will react when approaching wall of the cliff which is higher than 50m? Will craft stop front of it and hover there ? I assuming that RTH height must be set ahead in this scenario to the highest point just to avoid this situation? What about flying in hilly areas, will RTH set height always adjusting to terrain? Thank for helping me in those situations since my experience is at very “ beginner “ area. Karel .
Hi Tom, great video. I want to ask you about the cell phone use as while flying the Mavic Air, How do you prevent incoming calls from interrupting the flight and make you crash? Disable cellphone calls? or is the App doing this automatically? I'd hate to get a call in the middle of a flight and crash the drone
Tom, the obstacle avoidance is disabled during landing. How this will be an advantage with RH? Especially if you are in a forest area! What about when you use the other drone modes like Boomerang, Circle, Dronie, Helix, etc. Do the anticrash sensors are disabled as well?
Hi Great Video. I tried to download the footage but the link takes me to DJI store. I am in New Zealand though. How good is the wifi connection? especially if the signal has to go thru a wall etc? And Does the Mavic Air have the "shallow focus" photo capabilities that the spark does?
Hi Tom, Do you know if the Mavic Pro's filters are compatible with Mavic Air? If not, do you have any suggestion? Thank you in advance for your answer!
hi Tom...nice review as always.. in a quickshot mode like helix, circle mode etc.. can we adjust the distance for the drone to circle from the subject? thanx
Do you have a guess on when mavic pro 2 will release? And I plan on using my future drone mostly the mountains, afraid high winds that frequent the mountains would limit when i could use a drone the size of the air, what are your thoughts there, would the mavic pro 2 be a better choice with that in mind?
Hey man i have some question about the mavic air. Thr quik shots luke boomerang rocket etc are the also to around a point pf interest wich you give in on the controller? Or only for a kind of selfie mode? I like landscape shooting and look for my first drone so selfies are not the thing i buy them fore. So let me know! Greets from Holland Joost
what would you do? i have the mavic pro but i'm considering to sell it because drones under 500grams (like the mavic air) do not have any flight restrictions in switzerland (which are pretty hard). it's perfectly clear that i wouldn't fly next to an airport, but in switzerland the no-fly zones are in a 10km radius around airports which leave out almost no space to fly Thanks for your help
Thank you! Awesome review! What is the image quality compared to Mavic Pro? With what container do you get the best image quality: .mov, .mpeg4, h264, mp4?
Good review Tom. I'm sold on how well this drone flies in literally all conditions and the image processing package on-board is doing an amazing job with that tiny 1/2.3" sensor.
Tom i have a 32Gb extreme pro sandisk micro sd but my mavic air says slow write card, is there a compatible micro sd card aside from sandisk's extreme pro?
I have a question for you Tom. You make the best drone reviews and really seem to know what you are talking about. I am wondering if the new asteroid quick shot from the Mavic Air can be uploaded to Flickr? I have tried several times and can't get it to work; do you use Flickr? Do you know if asteroids should be shareable on platforms like that? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
Very good review, best so far. Some of the flight footage is a little jumpy, it seems to move in steps when panning rather than smooth. They seem like set seeps not random. Is this a problem with the video footage conversion or is the gimbal or flight movement not smooth? Did you use any ND filters when trying to get cinematic shots?
Question. Why when showing the quick shot modes you cropped the video? Is it because the quick shot modes are choppy and you tried to hide it as much as possible? You said they are cinematic but every review i seen of the quick shots they are all glitchy.
Nice review -Thumbs up. It *almost* has everything I need to know. Does it have Tripod mode and terrain follow? Can you tweak the settings like the Mavic Pro for smoother footage? Plus what options like d-log or cinelike are there?
You are fantastic nothing but an proffesional it is a dream looking at your videos I think you are the best one i am looking forward for more videos of the DJI Mavic Air.
This was a great video!! Very informative and entertaining. I loved seeing the footage from Israel. The fact a tiny drone took such advantage shots is crazy and it makes me consider purchasing one.
One comment to the noise frequency. I think the frequency is higher therefore the Air sounds louder than Mavic although the dB level meter shows it different. But maybe the propeller will be designed as low noise in future like Mavic Pro🤞🏽
The video quality looks great! On the Air sample video, the one where the camera rises with the palm tree to reveal the landscape machinery in the background, the footage looked a touch of the staccato effect. Can you control the Shutter speed when recording with the Mavic Air? Is there a shutter speed option available in the recording options?
Hi, could you activate the "Gimbal Pitch Smoothness" in the Gimbal Settings for the Mavic Air? I wasn't able to use this feature with my Spark and I'm curious if the Mavic Air has this feature, like the Mavic Pro. Thank you! :)
Great job Tom! Please make a video on how to split, cut in pieces without losing quality, then put all together in a 60 secs video say ten 6 secs slices adding music too ... :)

I still prefer my MAVIC Pro. This MAVARK is a nuisance...
Toms tech time 1 question: I have the spark and phantom 3. Do you think the Mavic air would be a good upgrade from the spark or phantom 3?
What were the SD card recommendations you had?
Are ND filters designed for Mavic Pro also compatible with Mavic Air?
@Marshall Wait for the Mavic Pro II coming this summer. Getting the P4P camera onto the Mavic will be the next huge step.
It's like the Mavic Pro and the Spark had a baby!
Ivan Snz such a quick reply I know
Sparvic or Mavark??
Spanky?
Great video Tom. Missed you in New York!
Du machst wirklich die besten Videos was Drohnen angeht, man hört dir gern zu und es ist alles drin ohne überflüssige Infos 👍🏻 mach so weiter..
Thanks for the review and for all the details. Can I recharge the batteries using a power bank? What kind of port it has. As it has just 21 mins of flight mode, I want to know if it can be charged when I travel where I will have just a power bank with no power supply for a week during my Himalayan trekking.

You sure it doesnt have POI? And Fixed wing?
Do you mind sharing how you did that opening shot with the 3d camera? Mount on drone?
sensors in the front and back...that is soooo cool! Can't wait til put my hand on this drone.
you sound like Weinstein
What opinion do you have regarding the delay of the video on the phone? Could you fly it away with a good video signal? Greetings from the Canary Islands
As a potential first drone purchaser I found your video very informative. Well done! I also enjoyed seeing some of the beautiful places captured with the Mavic Air. Bravo!

It seems like your lav mic picks up a lot of noise from the drone when you were presenting. Was this intentional?

Tom can you please do a long distance test? How far the mavic air can go and also review the video feed from the enhanced wifi? Thanks
Thanks, fantastic video. But... The background, which was panning horizontally in the Circling, Helix, and Boomerang mode, looked "jumpy" and not smooth. Is this a compression artifact with RUclips or the result of jerked turning by the drone while filming? Thanks!
Drone Nerds any chance you could do a test with the mavic air and how it performs doing active track following a subject going down hill?
Great review and awesome footage.Just wondering the return to home feature , returns to last point of take off, not bank to controller, or do you have that option? Would be nice when filming from a boat...could be especially bad if battery runs low and it returns to home , but home is no longer there due to boat moved..

jeffrey Jackman i have the platinum mine is better lol
This has all the same stuff the mavic pro does only smaller and the camera can go upwards
A.J. Williams
The Mavic camera can also go up.
I like the new avoidance features
Great review video Tom! I've placed my order for the Flame Red on DJI's presentation day in New York. Can't wait to get it!
To give you a quick tip towards your Switzerland incident where the card was full. You should get one of those USB dongles that convert your phones charging socket into a USB port. Then you can carry around an SD card reader and hook it up to your phone to empty the drone card.
can u do a complete set up first flight with all aspects and controller also is it true about dji customer service ive never delt with them before
How are flight restrictions in Israel? You were commenting once about wanting to move to U.S., but I hear Switzerland is drone friendly.
Link to se cards? Awesome video
Great presentation, & the shots you took in Israel are stunning. I am visiting Israel a lot but never seen it from this angle. Thanks
Need better lighting for night orientation and when are they going to put in a built-in display into the controller?
hello.
i have 2 questions about the diffrents options filming (dronies, circle around, etc...):
1) how the mavic do to get target in center? use the gps in TX? or just target "silhouette" , like tracking?

Hi what settings do I have to do to get the drone hovering like you do at home please I’m worried I will take of and it will hit roof thanks
can the limit distance in Europe be unlocked ...or if I buy the drone from the usa would this make it able to go 4 km ..or wouldd it still be limited ???

Hey Tom's Tech Time.
Which transition pack do you use when showing of the Mavic Air still images?
Please could you share?
Like it.
Excellent video, one of the best presentations of this kind.
Great video thanks. What do you think of the 2.7k 60fps footage?
Hi Tom, same question here, maybe it is also interesting for your English audience: What about noise? Platinum is making less noise vs. the Pro. What about the Air? Do you get full attention while starting somewhere just based on the noise that it will make?

hello, under mavic air there are 2 sensors. does both sensors light up for you or just one ?
Hi Tom, great video. I want to ask you about the cell phone use as while flying the Mavic Air, How do you prevent incoming calls from interrupting the flight and make you crash? Disable cellphone calls? or is the App doing this automatically? I'd hate to get a call in the middle of a flight and crash the drone

Do you have any issues with lens distortion? I aim to take more 'straight-down' 90 degree shots of buildings and wanted them to appear straight!
Hi Great Video. I tried to download the footage but the link takes me to DJI store. I am in New Zealand though. How good is the wifi connection? especially if the signal has to go thru a wall etc? And Does the Mavic Air have the "shallow focus" photo capabilities that the spark does?
Hi Tom,
Do you know if the Mavic Pro's filters are compatible with Mavic Air? If not, do you have any suggestion?
Thank you in advance for your answer!
Hi! Can you make a vídeo with video settings (not the video modes)? Are they the same of Mavic Pro?
thanks great review....im still on the fence with Mavic Air. I fly alot in montana back in the mts......not sure if wifi is going to work there...
Rear sensors! Best addition yet!
Dude, overkill review. Awesome work.
Absolutely amazing review! I’m sold on this drone!
Great job Tom. Your channel is where I first go for drone related stuff. Keep up the good work man.
Great job and very detailed. Thank You
Did you like your trip there ? Amazing place right !
The remote jaws on the Mavic Pro remote are just big enough to take an iPad Mini - is this the same for the Mavic Air?
hi Tom...nice review as always.. in a quickshot mode like helix, circle mode etc.. can we adjust the distance for the drone to circle from the subject? thanx
Do you have a guess on when mavic pro 2 will release?

Side and Top obstacle avoidance is missing, and 4K 60fps :)
what would you do? i have the mavic pro but i'm considering to sell it because drones under 500grams (like the mavic air) do not have any flight restrictions in switzerland (which are pretty hard). it's perfectly clear that i wouldn't fly next to an airport, but in switzerland the no-fly zones are in a 10km radius around airports which leave out almost no space to fly
Thanks for your help
Great review Tom! Did you encounter any problems with the wifi transmission?
Great review Thanks. I have the Phantom 4 pro but think I need one of these also.
Thank you! Awesome review! What is the image quality compared to Mavic Pro? With what container do you get the best image quality: .mov, .mpeg4, h264, mp4?
Good review Tom. I'm sold on how well this drone flies in literally all conditions and the image processing package on-board is doing an amazing job with that tiny 1/2.3" sensor.
Tom i have a 32Gb extreme pro sandisk micro sd but my mavic air says slow write card, is there a compatible micro sd card aside from sandisk's extreme pro?
I have a question for you Tom. You make the best drone reviews and really seem to know what you are talking about. I am wondering if the new asteroid quick shot from the Mavic Air can be uploaded to Flickr? I have tried several times and can't get it to work; do you use Flickr? Do you know if asteroids should be shareable on platforms like that? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
Very good review, best so far. Some of the flight footage is a little jumpy, it seems to move in steps when panning rather than smooth. They seem like set seeps not random. Is this a problem with the video footage conversion or is the gimbal or flight movement not smooth? Did you use any ND filters when trying to get cinematic shots?
Do you know if an iPad mini 4 will fir horizontally into the Mavic Air controller?
Nice video Tom and nice Drone. Am I wrong or we lost flight time and range compared to the « old » Mavic ?
Question. Why when showing the quick shot modes you cropped the video? Is it because the quick shot modes are choppy and you tried to hide it as much as possible? You said they are cinematic but every review i seen of the quick shots they are all glitchy.
Nice review -Thumbs up. It *almost* has everything I need to know. Does it have Tripod mode and terrain follow? Can you tweak the settings like the Mavic Pro for smoother footage? Plus what options like d-log or cinelike are there?
Hi Tom,
Great video! Question: Can I use my FPV fatshark goggles with the New Air because it says it supports 5.8 ghz video transmission? Thank you
You are fantastic nothing but an proffesional it is a dream looking at your videos I think you are the best one i am looking forward for more videos of the DJI Mavic Air.
Hello Tom, could you do a flight test with the new Autel Robotics EVO, it seems to be a really nice drone besides the DJI drones. Thank you.
This was a great video!! Very informative and entertaining. I loved seeing the footage from Israel. The fact a tiny drone took such advantage shots is crazy and it makes me consider purchasing one.
I really want to know if Mavic Air has follow me mode (not active track) and waypoints mode?
One comment to the noise frequency. I think the frequency is higher therefore the Air sounds louder than Mavic although the dB level meter shows it different. But maybe the propeller will be designed as low noise in future like Mavic Pro🤞🏽
Tom, another ?. My RC club airfield is located 11/2 miles from our major airport. Will the firmware allow me to fly within this space?
Great Video Tom! Very thorough and informative. Thanks!
Excellent thorough review. Best review online. Thank you!
The video quality looks great! On the Air sample video, the one where the camera rises with the palm tree to reveal the landscape machinery in the background, the footage looked a touch of the staccato effect. Can you control the Shutter speed when recording with the Mavic Air? Is there a shutter speed option available in the recording options?
HI Tom, Will the controller hold an Iphone 7 Plus?
Great video! It's very detail
BTW, Is this drone can charge by the power bank like dji spark dose?
does it work weel with DJI Goggles? wich one is better for the goggles, mavic pro or mavic air? could you look left or right with the mavic air?
Great review, congrats!
The controller is compatible with Spark?
Hi, could you activate the "Gimbal Pitch Smoothness" in the Gimbal Settings for the Mavic Air? I wasn't able to use this feature with my Spark and I'm curious if the Mavic Air has this feature, like the Mavic Pro. Thank you! :)
Great job Tom!
Please make a video on how to split, cut in pieces without losing quality, then put all together in a 60 secs video say ten 6 secs slices adding music too ... :)
Hey Tom, does the Magic Air work with Litchi?
when you make a asteroid in mavic air, it save the archive like a video, photo or another kind of archive?
You can edit an asteroid shoot on fcpx?
Amazing that you got it so fast. thank you for that!
Will the Mavic Air work with a Mavic Pro remote. Also would that give the Air more range?
Tom, does the controller work great with Android? The DJI App has never worked well with Android.
Does Mavic Air has Follow Me Mode (Not Active Track) and Way Points Mode?
Afaik no follow me and waypoints im not sure.
