I couldn't agree with you more, Dan. The Mavic Air is an amazing little drone. It's compact, light and extremely impressive when it comes to the footage it can capture. Just remember folks, editing is a big part of filmmaking. And just because you're not great right now, keep practicing. With time, you will see your work evolve, grow and become something even you didn't think was possible. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work 💪

[@TMAdventuresT7]

Absolutely fantastic review thanks for sharing 👌🏽

[@bambam0099]

Very informative; well done! Thank you

[@vikingdane9757]

Very accurate review based on my 6 month experience with it. Have flown helis and a racing drone for years but for scenery footage and traveling this drone has been awesome! I am still working on my photography skills and playing with settings but have great respect for the software and build quality. Great job!

[@chrisdinham3650]

Great review man thanks!

[@MarkHoltze]

Dan, good review buddy! Thanks for your time and commentary.

[@jw-b1563]

Thanks for a great video and a real world commentary on this great little quad

[@garyroy2279]

Beautifully shot...Well done guy

[@JQUICK21]

Great video presentation, thanks much!

[@Handsome347]

Great review, just got mine today, cant wait to test it.

[@sgt.hollowpoint6968]

Dan the Man, I love your video on the Dji Mavic Air. Keep up your excellent work man.

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that! I've got the Air 2 on the way so stay tuned for that!!!

[@mrek2068]

Excellent review. Thank you.

[@shaanbrown2456]

Brother u get straight to the point with this video that’s what’s up. Awesome man

[@keithlambert6217]

Excellent honest review

[@RGMGFitness]

Nice review. No issues here with range. Love the Mavic Air! For the majority of folks (not professional videographers/photographers) you will be more than happy with this product. I've owned both the SPARK and Mavic Air. No complaints here. Agree, glad DJI included the remote with Mavic Air. I think it should have been included with the SPARK but I understand DJI wanted various price points for various consumers. Again, nice review.

[@barryreijne5499]

Realy nice video man ! thumbs up, and awesome transition at 0:39 looked realy cool.

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that Barry!!!

[@richthedroneguy8943]

Great review! Thanks.

[@Marcos_Ri]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Any "better range" news on the new ordered Air?

[@wildlifesafarisjohannesbur3378]

Nice video thanks very much got mine this morning battery would not take a charge have to get it replaced

[@craigtonge455]

Great video mate! Love the review. What was the tune? Perfect score for amazing scenes!

[@Believer7154]

Great job my man. Thanks for sharing. Your efforts and works are appreciated. Which is better, the MAVIC AIR or YUNEEC TYPHOON H w/intel interference?

[@silentwarrior11six78]

Really enjoying mine, bought it 3 days ago, crashed twice still working great. I'm more cautious now but man the camera and gimble is AMAZING! cant wait to take it in more open areas.

[@JoshuaNason]

Real comprehensive breakdown of the Mavic Air! I’ve been on the fence between the Air and the Pro and I think this video made that decision for me. Production on this video was grade A, man. Keep producing quality content 👍🏻

[@learningcameras]

Thanks Joshua!!!

[@AdenTube1]

Lovely content!

[@anthonymorales4368]

Nice work, beautiful videos.

[@lau_dhondt]

great review, thanks

[@pablobragato7164]

just watched 17 reviews on the M.Air... your review is the BEST! tnx

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that!

[@JasonEllingsworth]

I know you dinged the range a lot in your review, but I have read that later firmware updates really helped with that.

[@DannyOVideos]

Hey, I'm in Orlando! I just got one of these and your shots are inspiring me so hard! Thanks for the video and information 👌🏾 Subbed!

[@learningcameras]

Awesome!!! Right down the street from me. Appreciate the sub!

[@paulcain5785]

Thanks for such a great video.... 😎

[@RaphaelChan888]

That Active Tracking is cool, but yeah, you need to be careful and use in open areas. I had it following me on a motorbike, but very slowly in a car park (there were light poles around). At the end of the car park, I pulled a U-turn and it stopped following me. Strangely, it still rotated around to film me going back to the other end of the car park, where I then I had to retrieve it with the remote.

[@gabrielpagan5713]

great video!

[@billymc-minecraft1171]

This Helped Me A Lot, Good Review!!!

[@eyeskymedia-amazingdronefo4313]

Great review bud

[@kareemd90]

Best review of the drone by far! Well done!

[@learningcameras]

Awesome!!! Thanks

[@arindustries5848]

Great video dude, a truly honest review.

[@learningcameras]

Really appreciate that!!!

[@nikhilreddyguda9411]

Great review

[@imahmud]

Very good review. I enjoyed it very much.

[@Top-Jimmy]

Great review mate! - As soon as you spoke about the range of this bird, I said to myself Nope. Such a bummer they didn't think about it before its release. Excellent Quad though, I have a friend with one and the stuff she captures with this quad is nothing short of absolutely amazing! Thanks for this video and your honesty in your review. You've earnt my Sub for sure. Cheers from Western Australia!

[@Treeboyltd]

Great video

[@tysonledbetter1548]

I’m kinda new to drone flying but any help would be appreciated. How does it work when you want to video something like a sunset or something or at the lake can you just video or do you have to have permission from owners plans and stuff?

[@poulan9]

Agree with all of the many points made here especially regarding IC. Range however can be from 300m in cities up to 4000m rural

[@HiHai]

Lovely video! Keep up the good work.

[@learningcameras]

Thanks!!!

[@danielschluter7550]

Great review you explained everything well

[@learningcameras]

Thanks!

[@Danny-xj5ts]

I’m a uge fan too. Nice review, thanks

[@JoseTheRover]

DOPE SHOTS!!!!!!!!

[@jamierussell5833]

Cool Video man, Cheers

[@ericbphoto1]

Does the gimbal lock up when making turns in sport mode like the spark does?

[@CarlMazur]

Great video. Keep it going man. :)

[@learningcameras]

Thanks Carl!

[@markh2477]

Awesome review! I agree with you, the 8GB built in memory = total lifesaver

[@refaiabdeen2142]

Cheers Mate!

[@99v8cobra]

Just got my new DJI Mavic Air... man, its awesome technology.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thanks for sharing

[@nolantifft6763]

Awesome!

[@TayoAinaFilms]

I love your Video

[@jimcombs8278]

I’ve heard a lot of mix views on the range.. since this video have they done updates to the software/firmware to at least give a little better feedback for better ranges?

[@HiHai]

This video is simply stunning.

[@learningcameras]

Thanks!!!

[@noladronelife_6574]

did you have to deactivate any sensors when flying over water in close proximity?

[@MyTicketBoard]

Love the spin transition out of the asteroid shot @:39 🙌🏼

[@learningcameras]

Thanks Curtis!

[@darkcashyz]

I just returned mine. My gimbal cannot maintain the level, it goes left and right all the time even on the ground like it's hunting for level. That doesn't work for me even for vlog. I'm sad that it didn't. Must be some defective or something happened in transportation.

[@photographerjonathan]

cool drone, love the size of it. but wish it had a one inch sensor, better at low light. when do you think the Mavic Air 2 will be out ?

[@Heli4213]

Awesome. Just got my Mavic and flew it 2 times but I am 3 feet from the ground and it wont land. I had to hit auto land it wouldn't let me? Any Ideas?? Thank You

[@NDprototyping]

Nice job!

[@grimlightwildoutdoors]

Great channel

[@DhruvDange1]

One word for your channel- Underrated

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that!

[@GenerateMediaTeam]

Hey I like the color grading! Were you using any lut or just manually corrected it (Im not only talking about the drone footage, the whole video looks nice).

[@learningcameras]

Thanks! Just manually correcting using Premiere

[@momustafa321]

Looks good keep the good work from Australia

[@donaldmartim6249]

MO MUSTAFA ya but know informations on the controller witch I don't like so the mavic pro is still the best

[@ryanyeo1960]

*DJI is having a sale right now on the Mavic Air! Click the link below for a special discount and FREE shipping!* click.dji.com/ACt_ipXB-7n_GlmUaT0NVg?pm=link

[@dovershark0492]

Bought this drone today. Can't wait to get going with it and using it whilst cycle touring, easily fit into a pannier.

[@nickdegreef3711]

And, is it good?

[@TheThingsIveLearned]

Great review. Thank you!

[@freshcharge]

It's amazing! I'm glad I held out buying one for so long. This is my first drone purchase ever and I'm very impressed with all the technology packed into such a compact device. It exceeded my expectations. Great review I learned a lot.

[@gavsmith1980]

Dan what's that music you've used throughout the video?

[@henrikdahl7252]

thumps up , thanks for great video

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

What ND filters do you use for the DJ Mavik Air?

[@kembocheng]

I have to admit, you sure was thorough with this vid. Much appreciated.... might get my hands on one after seeing this.

[@CarlosMartinez-rk2bt]

i really like the new update is amazing 😎🙌👍 I’m going too have too follow you

[@chrispecchia9231]

Great job first time seeing your videos

[@learningcameras]

Thanks Chris!

[@RossCaspers]

Good thing I saw this first sites.google.com/site/BetterThanMavicAir

[@Andre_Albert]

FYI, course lock is now under tap-to-fly as the free-fly option. It sends the drone in one direction while allowing you to spin around and control the camera. Also, the range depends on the wifi frequency. Were you using 2.8 or 5.4 Ghz? Were the antennas on the front legs folded down? Many people seem to forget sometimes, myself included.

[@learningcameras]

Awesome! Didn't see that course lock option. I was having it auto select the wifi frequency. Have not tried manually selecting one vs the other but I was over an ocean during the shot so I wouldn't think there would be much interference. Legs were folded down.

[@MattWalesMedia]

awesome video! mine comes in saturday! super excited to fly it!

[@fulllifeadventures]

Love the video, quick question, how did you get that tint or color for the video? Thank you

[@learningcameras]

Thanks!!! I do color grade my video in Premiere

[@fulllifeadventures]

Right on, looks very good👍🏼. Thank you.

[@christopherhurkmans4790]

Got mine yesterday. Maiden flight this morning. Upgrading from the Hubsan Zino I was blown away by the stability, agility and user friendliness of it.

[@KyleKoehler1]

Great video... but I believe if you look into using Intelligent Flight Mode called "TapFly" then you will see that it is very similar (if not better) than Course Lock. I find it useful (but incredible dangerous as it also will change altitude of the drone by selecting above or below the horizon line. I suggest you try it... very cool.

[@sirfrancisarthur]

I'm getting these drones reviews suddenly so I decided to watch a few. What I'm noticing is that when it is flying the video is a bit choppy or shocky frames. Is that something you can avoid, lowering to 1080 or 1440 or is it unavoidable with drones? 4:10

[@hayprofilms]

Excellent video presentation. My only concern is human weakness, not being satisfied, and where do you stop with these wonderful drones because there not cheap, though worth it. cheers Hayden

[@khojiAnupam]

amazing

[@droneready8278]

I have flawlessly and consecutively gotton more than 1 mile away with no issues...my max distance has been 11455 feet and 12256 feet. Pretty close to that 2.5 mile mark. This was in the mountains of South Carolina with nothing but wide open,unpopulated area.

[@MrMario123ah]

Great video. BTW what is your editing program?

[@learningcameras]

Thanks! I have a list to all my gear here: www.kit.com/learningcameras I edit with Adobe products

[@terryxog4212]

When you stitch your pano images in photoshop, switch to barrel mode instead of spherical and it works wonders. I think it's the order that the drones takes the pictures that causes some of the issues.

[@WargodFilms]

Is there a update for 4k 24fps? Because it only gives me 4k 30fps

[@stevekopcial129]

I am ordering the Mavic air, your videos of the Air had some great music, can you tell me where I can find the music on your videos on the Mavic air??

[@Matt-wg9xn]

Freaking finally, someone willing to be critical of a hyped product while still enjoying it.

[@emreerden5346]

thanks for the review. I also own Mavic air, worth the investment. The only issue is signal lost issue in a crowded city like Istanbul. I also tried it in a desert so I believe I had some sand parts inside the gimble and don't know how to remove them:(

[@fayfilmsuk3976]

i am looking into getting this drone, i had a small on in the past but nothing near this scale in cost, doing alot of research so thanks for your video. when using a phone in the remote, does the handles slide in and out to accommodate different size phones?

[@learningcameras]

Hey! So yes the holders move so it can handle different size phones from smaller models to my Note 8 and my wife's iPhone 7 plus without issue. I've even seen people barely stuff an iPad mini in there! However if you have a case that's thick, you might need to take it off first.

[@80sruler]

I have a Pro Platinum but think I’ll add this as well

[@ottomendez2404]

Did you say that we need the usb cable to download the videos into Facebook?

[@arunprasadmanne1]

Why are the drone shots not leveled with the horizon? Is that a pilot error or a drone/gimbal error?

[@shaanbrown2456]

Awesome

[@frosti7]

Loved the mavic broll, especially the film look...did you use any filters or vintage lens on your GH5? P.S its really annoying it wont charge from USB, common dji!

[@learningcameras]

Thanks! Just ND filters

[@northeastdroneproductions]

Thanks for the info, i'm tossing up between the pro and the air, each has its pros and cons, hard decision man. Cheers

[@mgr5550]

How long does it take to recharge a fully depleted battery on the MAVIC AIR ?

[@shaasframe]

Sir, Which one is best mavic air or pro platinum for video makers? Totally confused!

[@learningcameras]

Probably the pro platinum since you can fly further and longer but the air has some awesome new features that would be tempting... And the price is way lower
