I live in the Philippines, can I buy from your web link

[@burningreaper333]

Hello, I know you probably wont come across my comment, but just in case you do, can you talk about the 2.4 and 5.8 ghz? and also what you think is best to use to get better stronger signal. thank you.

[@ToastedSynapseGaming]

I know that there are "landing pads" that you can get for drones. I personally suggest not getting those. If you're a photographer or filmmaker, chances are you have a 2in1 or a 5in1 reflector lying around (and if you don't you should get one). Use that (it's basically the same as the "landing pads" from the official site, but with other uses when you are filming with your camera). I carry one with me whenever I take my camera somewhere, so why not use it to land the drone? That's just my philosophy... Tall Grass be gone.

The best review for the Mavic Air I've seen so far. I like how you go into the smaller details that others don't include.

[@lucasfrainer9912]

WOW! That was the very best overview/review/handson/explanations I have ever seen! And I have seen a lot about a lot! Thank you!

[@MrVeggiepro]

Very Informative Rick...Thanks I've had my Mavic Air for about 3 weeks and been flying it everyday. Love it

[@markwyse]

Excellent video as usual Rick, thanks so much for the effort and time you put into these clips. They help newbies like me immensely.

[@anthondeutsch3133]

Rick I enjoyed your review because you are intelligent and analyze things. Most people do superficial tests without putting much thought behind the actual development of a product and why things function certain ways. Keep doing these. Thank you.

[@stuarthall2523]

What an excellent review. Just what I was looking for. Thank you. Have subscribed to your channel.

[@loganaquino7808]

[@JGraham4713]

Great video... excellent presentation and information. Thank you

[@8Hackt]

Thanks for the review Rick, I really enjoyed your perspective from an engineering and design point of view. Even though you only had the product for 48 hours I think it was a practical and in depth assessment. I'll have to check out some of your other videos.

[@randelljack]

Thank you very much for your comprehensive and helpful review. Nobody reviews the Mavic Air like you do!

[@FoodFamily8788]

[@dannygumato671]

Great review & info for me who just got my mavic air yesterday. Thanks

[@mycatsaliberal3848]

I love your videos. You made me decide to buy the Mavic Air. I did want to say about the antenna...mine do lock together at the ends when they fold up. Thought it was neat to keep them from flopping up. Again love the videos. Thanks

[@cherokee592]

Very good video with lots of great information.

[@OutdoorsIQ]

You done it again Rick, well done!

[@Bill-ck3lo]

New MA owner here and that cleared up a lot of technical and functionality questions I had. Thanks for the details! I look forward to more videos DV!

[@jevanpolock]

Love the review Rick. You do such a great job breaking down the technology to a level where those of us not tech knowledgeable can understand it. Keep up the good reviews and looking forward to more in the future. BTW love the way you explained the hidden connection on the battery bank for future firmware updates. I was wonder what that was for. JVO in Michigan.

[@dannylorenze6188]

Outstanding Job on the video.. Thank you

[@RicoGalassi]

Just got the onyx black and use a 64gb card in it. No issues so far! I love the thing! Flies excellent in wind (especially with sport mode enabled) and I haven't lost range or anything yet! Very pleased with my purchase

[@mymisty7]

Excellent review. Probably one of the best on KZbin. Sold me.

[@kingselyrowing]

First time Mavic buyer/user. But the review is so excellent due to Rick's knowledge. It helps me understand things I did not learn from other reviews that I had checked. Thanks Rick.

[@INSTACRUISING]

Excellent and super precise review. Thanks.

[@metals2546]

Stumbled onto your site and am impressed with your review. Not even sure why I watched the entire thing, I don't own a drone, but have to commend you on the in depth and obviously well researched presentation. I almost wish I owned a drone now.

[@paul.reeves]

Brilliant - thanks for the video! 😎

[@andrewhinds6560]

I bought one of these the other day and I am blown away by how amazing it is.

[@southcoast2008]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this. Bought a mavic air last month and sold my spark, love it!

[@Dronevalley]

You're welcome and thanks for the post. It's an amazing quad and I'm really flying it more than my others right now because of it's portability and nimbleness in the air. Have fun! Rick

[@goriverman]

Thanks Rick, great info

[@ronspencer5169]

Hi Rick Really helpful video. The Mavic air is my first drone and I am slowly getting my head around it.

[@AdenTube1]

Lovely content!

[@montiraruba2831]

Great review. I just took my Mavic Air on its first maiden flight. Though I was in my office but I was a bit nervous since it is my first drone. It was great!!

[@bryanhoffmann4484]

Great, structured video and analysis - thanks! I especially appreciated the 'chapters' list in your comments.

I did a bunch of research an bought an open box Mavic Air... I'm even more happy with my purchase after your review!

[@Dronevalley]

Hope you enjoy it! That Mavic Air is an amazing quad and I'm still flying mine today. Even though there have been a lot of newer drones released since that quad came out, it still provides everything you need for a great day of flying and filming. Stay tuned for more content this weekend.

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Thank you for the indepth look at the Mavic Air Rick. Good job In my time with the Mavic Air I found three areas I think that can be improved upon: removal of the SD card (you have to use tweezers), noise level (wish DJI would make quiter props), and the power button on the bottom (odd place to put it). Thanks again !

[@SteveBottoms]

Great review, thanks!

[@amrak-8401]

Awesome!😍👍

Excellent and helpfull CUDOS to you 👍🏼

[@bradowens7852]

I’m new to the drone world and was looking at the Mavic Pro vs the Air, after watching many test and compares you sold me on the Mavic Air, thanks for the comprehensive tests and explanations, I’m also an engineer getting towards my retirement era and need a fun hobby, I also just got my first action camera the Hero7 Black and really enjoying it on trips, cycling and SUP. Again thanks for a great review I’ll be watching more of your videos and visiting you web store.

[@glennturnbull8568]

Hi Rick, thanks for the in depth review, nice to see a reviewer with one eye on the regulations! I've just ordered one, and waiting on delivery. Glenn. UK

[@johnlamb5761]

Thanks for the comprehensive analysis Rick. I got my Air a month ago and I'm extremely happy with it. The carry case in the Fly More version does fit the Air in its protective case in the side zipper compartment very comfortably, so maybe they upgraded it since you got yours.
