You should test your Mavic after updating its firmware. Rumor goes that Mavics produced after april 2017 get fixed 60fps mode with version 1.04. My drone is from 2017 july and I updated it. Weather has been bad but I did run around with the drone indoors shooting at 60 and did no longer notice that weird aliasing problem ;) Theres also many videos on youtube indicating that the problem has been fixed for the lucky owners of newer Mavics.
satikass A few other people have mentioned that, and I went out to test the theory. There’s no difference for me, 60 is still bad news for my Mavic Pro.
Regarding the Mavic Pro thumb stick protectors that are shown at 6:10. I've got an MP but I flip those over the other way. I was thinking that bar was for screen protection. If you look under the bar, you'll see that it's recessed where the screen is. Not a big deal, but that's what I was thinking.
Just got the Mavic Air and the Unboxing, Part 1 & Part 2 Videos really helped get me going!! Best beginner videos I've seen on the Tube! Well done. Thank you and Fly well!
Hey Ed, my feed has been overflowing with Mavic Air unboxing and reviews. Most of them I don’t make it through but I watched yours all the way through. Nice work and keep the content coming.
Must say very good video and the drone is great. Had mine for awhile and I love it. Dji has so much more than my zino pro ,power egg or my new mini 2. I trust my mavic to do what I tell it to and it hasn't let me down yet. Thanks again for the videos and keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for doing these videos Ed! I really enjoy your channel because the production quality is always outstanding and you seem to be very candid. You give us a glimpse into your life and experiences with this channel and it always comes through as honest and genuine. Really nice work!
Great review and video Ed. You are right - that's a loud drone. Thought DJI would have incorporated the low noise propellers they developed for the Mavic Pro on the Mavic Air. Other than that looks like DJI has got a winner.
Such a great review, I would have to say a very accurate comparison. I just purchased the Mavic Air and started a channel to showcase the Australian landscape, after some more use I’ll also do a review on the Mavic Air from my personal experience.
Great review !!! I’m glad you received the Mavic Air and I will be waiting for more reviews and tutorials I have heard it is a little noisy but it’s a drone 😊. The scenery at the lake was beautiful !!!! Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Blessed Friday !!!! Danny
Just purchased the Mavic Air Fly More package - definitely worth the extra price with more batteries and accessories. As always - great videos, especially for newbees like myself. After getting an understanding of this machine and operation, am finally going to get it in the air. Thanks for your tutorials - helped me very much.
Another great video. At this point I'm still happy with the portability of my Mavic Pro and I think if I did get another drone it would be in the opposite direction - a bigger drone with higher quality. If I were in the market for a fold-able drone right now though - this would be a tougher choice.
I was very lucky to discover your video on how to set up the mavic pro when I first purchased it. I had never flown a drone till then and your video made everything so easy. I had the perfect set up with your suggestions. So first of all I'd like to say thank you for making me love drones by making everything so easy. I still haven't received my air yet as I live in Istanbul, hopefully should have it next week, would have loved to buy it thru your link but already got 3 🙈😄 I am looking so forward to your beginners video for air , so I can just adjust everything quickly without worrying if I should switch this on or switch this off 😅 Hope you do it soon please 🙏🏼😁 Once again thank you so much for helping me be a drone user 🙏🏼
May I ask are you seeing any warping on the horizon when you fly.... the reason is that some users like me are seeing this when you circle the aircraft whilst the horizon is high in the video.... I have just noticed what could be this in yours at about 11:35 when you start to tun the camera left, the horizon looks like it starts to warp to the right of centre on the horizon... more and more users are seeing this and I wondered if you had seen more of it... its more evident on a very flat horizon
Just had the first flight with mine, very extremely happy with it. But upgrading the firmware was hell, I started trying to update it as a 30year old and ended up at the end looking like Old Rose in Titanic. But watching it fly around perfectly with the wind blowing though my long white hair was worth it
Great Video - Trying to decide between the Spark vs Mavic Air. I had the spark and crashed it while shooting because of no rear sensors. I shoot mainly vacation videos, how annoying is the sound? The spark wasn't too bad at all. No one paid any attention to me, but I'm concerned about this attracting too much attention. Can you compare sound between the Spark and Mavic Air?
Hello, nice video, thanx..i have the Spark Combo, but i like to buy also Mavic Air..What do you think, is it wurthed to buy also the Mavic Air ? Thank in advance
great video ! I will need it since I will be buying my first drone ever on my birthday (next week)! For sure I will be following your video again...saved! Cheers
Not a bad video but I clicked on it because I just bought a new mavick air and I have never flown before and I wanted to know step by step how to set it up after you unbox it, how to put in the micro SD card, where it goes, how to do the compus calibration etc.
Hi Ed! Nice review and great footage! A couple questions... Did you check the rear sensors? Any weirdness over water? Is the camera exactly the same as the Mavic pro? I know there is no focus issue, but isn't the sensor different? Have fun with that little guy! Bummer it is a bit noisy... Maybe a future DJI upgrade... Thanks! Franny
Thanks for review. One thing i asked myself since Mavic Air came out. How stable is flight at high altitude and strong wind? I think Mavic Pro is better in this case.
Thank you for this video! I was going to buy a Mavic Air for it's better quality camera and it's size. This would be my first drone. But, the noise! Wow! Is it possible to get a short video with the Air and the Pro together so we could hear how loud one is compared to the other? Maybe I should just wait and look into the Pro 2 when it comes out. It isn't that far away. Any ideas???
I debated between this and the Mavic Pro, ended up ordering the Air in Red, now that I've seen how loud this is, I am afraid I may have made the wrong choice, I Hope DJI comes up with some quieter props like the Platinum.
Just got mine and one thing that kind of freak me out a bit. When I was holding it by the body and turned on, the props moved a bit and I thought - what if the mavic went on, for some weird reason, I would have my fingers cut for sure. They are in props way when turning it on. I understand it is very unlikely to happen, but it did freak me out when they moved.
Ahhh,Rick you were holding out on me. I asked :what no Mavic Air ? & YOU ALREADY had one on its way. Sweet. Im not sure if I'll be buying one but I'LL be checking out all your vids about it for sure. Im thinking THE Mavic Pro will be out before Fall . Hopefully with rear sensores and all the other good stuff the Air HAS and then some.
Thanks for the in depth tutorial. Just tried my first flight with heart thumping against my chest. It took off and landed safely but there was continuous beeping sound from the RC or my mobile device I don't know exactly where it came from but is it normal to have continuous beeping?
Great video. Just bought mine and subscribed to your channel. I've been trying to search RUclips about this question. While video is recording can you take a still picture with that camera button on remote on the right? I tried that but didn't get any. Thanks!
Hey Ed, lover your work. Your studio mic is a bit on the basey side, I have to turn up the volume to hear you clearly but that makes everything boomy. Just letting you know.
I have a problem with my mavic air. Please help. When I shoot in 4K with 30fps when I import the videos all the footage is in slow motion. How can I get normal footage in 4K. I am so excited but now frustrated as I tried everything but all my footage is in slow motion. Please help. Please advise how to adjust settings to shoot in 4K in normal mode.
I have had bad experiences flying Mavic Air. My first MA suffered minor crash after losing contact with the controller (on the 3rd day)....IMU and accelerators errors (still with DJI service centre after I sent back 3 weeks ago). The second MA without any crash.....could not fly because of ESC errors.....also sent back to the seller (after only 2 days with me)
Thanks for your first hands on Mavic Air video. Since you probably have a Spark can you tell me if those propellers will work with the Mavic Air to help quiet the noise?👍🖖
Ben Thunder you haven’t made a mistake at all, your MPP has longer range, longer flight time and is much quieter. It’s essentially an upgraded Mavic Air :)
Absolutely no mistake at all. I’ve had the mavic for little over a year and can’t speak high enough about it. I am very recreational in regards to level of use but it has far exceeded my expectations. I’ve actually been able to carry with me easily on a dirt bike trip and never had any issues.
Great channel. Great review. Getting my Mavic Air tomorrow. Hoping to get epic dronie video for my channel. Thanks again for the information. SUBSCRIBED!!!
Question, as far as phone dji app crashing, I see it often on RUclips. Is this an automatic pro towards the Mavic Pro/Platinum because of the LCD screen that allows you to still keep an eye on your drone? I'm new an considering Pro an Air. If the app crashes with the air, what happens to the drone, does it just hoover until app comes back up? Thank you in advance?
So the mavic pro has reached end of life according to DJI and the price has gone down to $799. With the air being $799 which one would you choose if you didn't have a drone and wanted to spend $799?
How does the shoulder bag size compare to the dji bag for the mavic pro? It lookss similar or bigger in the video. Wondering if the flymore combo will be bigger in size to carry over the flymore combo of mavic pro. I see the case for the drone adds bulk to it whereas the mavic pro goes naked into the dji bag.
The Mavic Pro Fly More bag is more like a cube whereas the Air bag is more like a brick in shape...if that makes any sense. I think they both take up the same amount of space in that way. By the way, I don't use the small case when I'm using the bag. The Air fits snuggly in without it, so honestly it feels pretty much exactly the same, just a slightly different shape.
Ed I would like to ask you a question. I hear your drone say “Take Off” but mind does not do that. Is there some setting that needs changed? Thanks in advance!
Hi, that's based off of your phone or display device volume. If you've turned the volume down on your phone that you're using as a display device with the controller, you won't get audible notifications like that.
They're both pretty equal video-wise, but I think the Mavic Pro is easier to control for finer movements. The Mavic Air seems to have snappier yaw that takes more stick to engage, whereas the Pro turns soooo much more smoothly. That could also be settings that need to be tweaked, but I'm talking right out of the box. But the Air is great in its own way of course.
Thanks Ed; concise and helpful tutorial on this new drone. As there is no screen on the controller, DJI are forcing the buyer to use a phone or tablet and as DJI are biased towards Apple, does this mean us Android owners need to purchase an iPhone or iPad? Mike in Oz
Hi Mike, no that shouldn't be the case. There are many examples of Android phones working with DJI products...though sometimes there has been app crashing and such. But I don't think an Apple device is necessary.

You should test your Mavic after updating its firmware. Rumor goes that Mavics produced after april 2017 get fixed 60fps mode with version 1.04. My drone is from 2017 july and I updated it. Weather has been bad but I did run around with the drone indoors shooting at 60 and did no longer notice that weird aliasing problem ;)
Theres also many videos on youtube indicating that the problem has been fixed for the lucky owners of newer Mavics.
satikass A few other people have mentioned that, and I went out to test the theory. There’s no difference for me, 60 is still bad news for my Mavic Pro.
IM REALLY AFFRAID OF SOMETHING GOING WRONG DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT THE HOME OR RETURN TO ONESELF
Still flying mine in 2021... Really is a marvel of technology...almost 4 years after.
Regarding the Mavic Pro thumb stick protectors that are shown at 6:10. I've got an MP but I flip those over the other way. I was thinking that bar was for screen protection. If you look under the bar, you'll see that it's recessed where the screen is. Not a big deal, but that's what I was thinking.
Just got the Mavic Air and the Unboxing, Part 1 & Part 2 Videos really helped get me going!! Best beginner videos I've seen on the Tube! Well done. Thank you and Fly well!
Hey Ed, my feed has been overflowing with Mavic Air unboxing and reviews. Most of them I don’t make it through but I watched yours all the way through. Nice work and keep the content coming.
Thanks for tuning in, Michael!

just got the Mavic Air cant wait to get some photos from it

Awesome review, very complete! We did a little unboxing video yesterday. Anyways, can't wait to try our Mavic Air... think we'll be doing it today
The Mavic Pro is still the way to go. I had mine for one year, with no complaints. It’s great companion with my Inspire Pro.
A good introduction for me as a new owner, can't wait for your more in-depth setup video. top marks & thumbs up.
Great review !!! I’m glad you received the Mavic Air and I will be waiting for more reviews and tutorials I have heard it is a little noisy but it’s a drone 😊. The scenery at the lake was beautiful !!!! Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Blessed Friday !!!! Danny
As always Ed...... Great review! Can't wait for more! Thanks
A very very nice tutorial for this drone, i salute , more power
S/O to Bond park, I used to go there all the time as a kid!
Just purchased the Mavic Air Fly More package - definitely worth the extra price with more batteries and accessories.
As always - great videos, especially for newbees like myself. After getting an understanding of this machine and operation, am finally going to get it in the air.
Thanks for your tutorials - helped me very much.
Very cool. Have fun with it!!
ed ricker where are you !! make video about mavic mini please
Another great video. At this point I'm still happy with the portability of my Mavic Pro and I think if I did get another drone it would be in the opposite direction - a bigger drone with higher quality. If I were in the market for a fold-able drone right now though - this would be a tougher choice.

This is, absolutely, the best unboxing I had seen about the Mavic Air! Thank you.
Sweet video mate.
Ed ricker you are really drones master
Great video Ed, thank you so much. Makes me want to go buy one!!
Actually the best video for Mavic air till yet 👍 nice review. Need more about the new obstacle avoidance system.
Thanks! I'll be making more videos soon
Very nice Ed......nicely done thank you!

The spark wasn't too bad at all. No one paid any attention to me, but I'm concerned about this attracting too much attention. Can you compare sound between the Spark and Mavic Air?
Nice introduction, thanks, I am just buying a Mavic Air and look forward to learning from your other tutorials.
Well done Ed. Such an informative video!! 😁👍 Love your stuff!
Feel like nd filters will be sweet. I hope you can still fit the gimbal cover on with the filters on.
Nice reviews @Ed Ricker. I subscribed.
please help me what is the better mavic pro or mavic air help me ??
Congrats with your new little drone!
Good video Ed!
I ordered the mavic air fly more combo for £749 unbelievably good deal so excited for it to arrive
Thanks Ed! Very informative! Will watch all your videos before I take my 1st flight!
That boomerang mode is lovely...i hope we get it on the mavic pro...another thing..is the mavic air the mavic 2 or will there be another mavic pro 2?
Thanks again for an informative review and first flight of the Mavic Air.
Hello, nice video, thanx..i have the Spark Combo, but i like to buy also Mavic Air..What do you think, is it wurthed to buy also the Mavic Air ? Thank in advance
Very informative, non bias review, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Just got my Mavic air and I love it I can’t wait to go play with it👍😎
great video ! I will need it since I will be buying my first drone ever on my birthday (next week)! For sure I will be following your video again...saved! Cheers
Thank you, for the professional video, Ed. Good job!
Love the Mavic Air
Same!
It's a good fishing spot bro..👍👍
Thanks. Nice video. The hands gesture mode worked nicely but I wonder if it will work equally as good with your back to the sun. Cheers.
Great post i love drones they are really fun!!!
I like ice cream and pizza!! They taste great!!
Not a bad video but I clicked on it because I just bought a new mavick air and I have never flown before and I wanted to know step by step how to set it up after you unbox it, how to put in the micro SD card, where it goes, how to do the compus calibration etc.
great review man👍🏼👍🏼

Tz.. great video! :D Thanks for the unit conversions! I like how you had to stop for a second and think about which axis is the third one. :D
Great editing and video thx v.much
Thanks for review. One thing i asked myself since Mavic Air came out. How stable is flight at high altitude and strong wind? I think Mavic Pro is better in this case.
Very cool drone!!!
Great CHANNEL
👍👍
Well done. When I start flying I have to choose in the app between a wired connection or WiFi every time. Is it possible to skip this?
Thank you for this video! I was going to buy a Mavic Air for it's better quality camera and it's size. This would be my first drone. But, the noise! Wow! Is it possible to get a short video with the Air and the Pro together so we could hear how loud one is compared to the other? Maybe I should just wait and look into the Pro 2 when it comes out.

Im thinking THE Mavic Pro will be out before Fall . Hopefully with rear sensores and all the other good stuff the Air HAS and then some.
Ahhh Rick!
Can you do a video showing how to use or set up iPad mini 4 for the remote control on the Mavic Air.
Ed, if you were going to purchase one drone would it be Air or MPP? Thinking about reliability, ease of use, noise level.
Thanks for the in depth tutorial. Just tried my first flight with heart thumping against my chest. It took off and landed safely but there was continuous beeping sound from the RC or my mobile device I don't know exactly where it came from but is it normal to have continuous beeping?
I'd be interesting to seeing the footage with the sharpening turned down, really seeing it in these shots.
I want to take this to SEQUOIA and fly it fast amongst the worlds tallest trees. Do you think it'll perform ?
Great video. Just bought mine and subscribed to your channel. I've been trying to search RUclips about this question. While video is recording can you take a still picture with that camera button on remote on the right? I tried that but didn't get any. Thanks!
Best drone out still august 2018
Hey Ed, lover your work. Your studio mic is a bit on the basey side, I have to turn up the volume to hear you clearly but that makes everything boomy. Just letting you know.
I need a good map to fly with that gives wind speed, all the good stuff,,any suggestions?Thanks, David
I have a problem with my mavic air. Please help. When I shoot in 4K with 30fps when I import the videos all the footage is in slow motion. How can I get normal footage in 4K. I am so excited but now frustrated as I tried everything but all my footage is in slow motion. Please help. Please advise how to adjust settings to shoot in 4K in normal mode.

The second MA without any crash.....could not fly because of ESC errors.....also sent back to the seller (after only 2 days with me)
have they fixed the +1 sharpness ? the footage seems to be much better on normal than the pro's normal ?
Good job bro. Can't wait to get mine in the mail. I'm looking at the tracking number every 3 hours lol. I'm feening.
The way this video started out I thought it was going to be a "nature documentary" about the Mavic. HA! I may take that and run with it.
Thanks for your first hands on Mavic Air video. Since you probably have a Spark can you tell me if those propellers will work with the Mavic Air to help quiet the noise?👍🖖
I JUST bought the Mavic Pro Platinum, and I don't know if I made a mistake or not... What do you guys think?
Ben Thunder you haven’t made a mistake at all, your MPP has longer range, longer flight time and is much quieter. It’s essentially an upgraded Mavic Air :)
No mistake at all. This is a noisy Spark Pro (aka MAVARK)...
Unless you want a more compact/cheaper drone, no you've made the right choice.
Nope u didn't make a mistake I recently bought my mavic Pro platinum and I haven't looked back
Absolutely no mistake at all. I’ve had the mavic for little over a year and can’t speak high enough about it. I am very recreational in regards to level of use but it has far exceeded my expectations. I’ve actually been able to carry with me easily on a dirt bike trip and never had any issues.
Great review! Do you know if the mavic pro is compatible with the air?
Great channel. Great review. Getting my Mavic Air tomorrow. Hoping to get epic dronie video for my channel. Thanks again for the information. SUBSCRIBED!!!
Great video Ed. Typical size of the video at 100mbps for 4K 30fps?
Nice video bro....
I’m going to Antarctica soon should I get Mavic pro platinum or air?
Question, as far as phone dji app crashing, I see it often on RUclips. Is this an automatic pro towards the Mavic Pro/Platinum because of the LCD screen that allows you to still keep an eye on your drone? I'm new an considering Pro an Air. If the app crashes with the air, what happens to the drone, does it just hoover until app comes back up? Thank you in advance?
So the mavic pro has reached end of life according to DJI and the price has gone down to $799. With the air being $799 which one would you choose if you didn't have a drone and wanted to spend $799?
Hey great review. Can you use Periscope on it? I know with the mavic and phantom 4 you can
How does the shoulder bag size compare to the dji bag for the mavic pro? It lookss similar or bigger in the video. Wondering if the flymore combo will be bigger in size to carry over the flymore combo of mavic pro.
I see the case for the drone adds bulk to it whereas the mavic pro goes naked into the dji bag.

By the way, I don't use the small case when I'm using the bag. The Air fits snuggly in without it, so honestly it feels pretty much exactly the same, just a slightly different shape.
Nice one Ed! Looking real comfortable, to the point. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. What was it?
Ed I would like to ask you a question. I hear your drone say “Take Off” but mind does not do that. Is there some setting that needs changed? Thanks in advance!
Hi, that's based off of your phone or display device volume. If you've turned the volume down on your phone that you're using as a display device with the controller, you won't get audible notifications like that.
Ed Ricker Thank you Ed for your quick response! I appreciate it. Love all your videos BTW!
The snow melt so quickly
Definitely my next buy!
No no no no
Get a mavic or a mavic 2 z/p I have a m2p and a Mavic Air and I hate the mavic air
Thanks Ed, useful review.
Hello , thanks for the video ( I’ve been watching all the unboxing etc etc ) amazing. Question : No mic on the camera right ?
Thanks for watching! Correct, no mic on the drone.
Does an iPad Mini fit in the Mavic Air controller as it does in the Mavic Pro controller?
Which one is best mavic air or pro for video making
They're both pretty equal video-wise, but I think the Mavic Pro is easier to control for finer movements. The Mavic Air seems to have snappier yaw that takes more stick to engage, whereas the Pro turns soooo much more smoothly. That could also be settings that need to be tweaked, but I'm talking right out of the box. But the Air is great in its own way of course.
Thanks Ed; concise and helpful tutorial on this new drone. As there is no screen on the controller, DJI are forcing the buyer to use a phone or tablet and as DJI are biased towards Apple, does this mean us Android owners need to purchase an iPhone or iPad?
