Pretty cool little drone by DJI! Flight footage begins at 10:45. Planning on purchasing the Mavic Air? You can help support my channel by using the link below. DJI Mavic Air (US): amzn.to/3NEYKid DJI Mavic Air (UK): amzn.to/3Gf7jgU
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.
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.
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
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!
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 👍
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.
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!
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.
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
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 🙏🏼
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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?
Great channel. Great review. Getting my Mavic Air tomorrow. Hoping to get epic dronie video for my channel. Thanks again for the information. SUBSCRIBED!!!
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?👍🖖
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???
Who are the three idiots that gave you thumbs down. Love the vid ed I bought my mavic pro thru you and sold it last year. Will be buying mavic air again from your link as soon as you make a video of best video settings for the MA.
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.
Hey you have very helpful viedeos used to had a phantom 3 didn't last me a week lol and i just got the mavic air and looking forward to any lesson near me i live in Delaware i wish u live near by tho show me some of that cool stuff that u know
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.
Terrific video buddy scenic. Hey I finally figured out who you talk like even sound like? If you ever watched my favorite 80's movie BREAKFAST CLUB. Your the guy opposite Emilio Estivez His last name in the movie was BENDER....LOL
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?

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.
just got the Mavic Air cant wait to get some photos from it
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.
S/O to Bond park, I used to go there all the time as a kid!

Sweet video mate.
Thanks again for an informative review and first flight of the Mavic Air.
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.
Very cool. Have fun with it!!
Great video Ed, thank you so much. Makes me want to go buy one!!
I ordered the mavic air fly more combo for £749 unbelievably good deal so excited for it to arrive
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.
Well done Ed. Such an informative video!! 😁👍 Love your stuff!
Very nice Ed......nicely done thank you!
Thanks Ed! Very informative! Will watch all your videos before I take my 1st flight!
Very informative, non bias review, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
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
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
Thank you, for the professional video, Ed. Good job!
Great editing and video thx v.much
The snow melt so quickly
Feel like nd filters will be sweet. I hope you can still fit the gimbal cover on with the filters on.
Love the Mavic Air
Same!
Best drone out still august 2018
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.
Thanks for the reminder on registration.
It's a good fishing spot bro..👍👍
Good video Ed!
Nice reviews @Ed Ricker. I subscribed.
Very cool drone!!!
Great CHANNEL
👍👍
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
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)
Tahnks for the video, plz test the range
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.
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 review man👍🏼👍🏼
Great post i love drones they are really fun!!!
I like ice cream and pizza!! They taste great!!
I'd be interesting to seeing the footage with the sharpening turned down, really seeing it in these shots.
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

Nice job, I'm planning on buying Mavic air. I'll let you know. Thanks again.
How's your mavic air , i am in big dellimma between mini and air , i love flight time of mini and many others modes from air except flight time.
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.
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?
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?
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.

Nice video bro....
Can you do a video showing how to use or set up iPad mini 4 for the remote control on the Mavic Air.
Recently discovered your channel. I have to say I am glad I did.
#inspired
Thank you. Great review.
Thanks Ed, useful review.
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!!!
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.
(2:53) there are the antennas to!!! you have know that?
It's SO LOUD! However, I love the 120fps shots.
wait 120? isn't it just 30?
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
I need a good map to fly with that gives wind speed, all the good stuff,,any suggestions?Thanks, David
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 LOVE the Red! But had to buy Black LOL (all they had left when I needed it)
Thanks Ed. Very informative for us beginners and enjoy watching your witty instruction. #IFLYMAVIC
I’m going to Antarctica soon should I get Mavic pro platinum or air?
Thanks! Great video :)
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!

Great job!!!!! I follow you!
Ehy Ed! Thank you for the review. What about flickering and Moire effect? Thank you
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.
Great video Ed. Typical size of the video at 100mbps for 4K 30fps?
Hey you have very helpful viedeos used to had a phantom 3 didn't last me a week lol and i just got the mavic air and looking forward to any lesson near me i live in Delaware i wish u live near by tho show me some of that cool stuff that u know

Terrific video buddy scenic. Hey I finally figured out who you talk like even sound like? If you ever watched my favorite 80's movie BREAKFAST CLUB. Your the guy opposite Emilio Estivez His last name in the movie was BENDER....LOL
Hey great review. Can you use Periscope on it? I know with the mavic and phantom 4 you can
Nice one Ed! Looking real comfortable, to the point. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. What was it?
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've heard the spark props work on the mavic air, Can you do a comparison between the 2?
have they fixed the +1 sharpness ? the footage seems to be much better on normal than the pro's normal ?
