Mavic Air 2 teardown Stripped down to the bone step by step.

Jack one of our skilled techs breaks down the all new Mavic Air 2. First time opening one up blind w/ no shop manuals even released.

[@BC-yw2tw]

Well done. Your video made it clear to me that my expertise ends with removing the battery. Hopefully that’s all I will have to do. Thanks

[@MikeSpeekman]

Great to see this strip down. Thanks Jack!

[@loginbobbob]

Huge thumbs up for being the first to do this!! Subscribed and saved this video incase the unfortunate ever occurs... Thank you!!!

[@dds-djidroneservice5959]

Thanks for the sub! Next Vid coming fly a mavic 2 pro into a brick wall @ 40mph lets see whatt happens and what we need to fix

[@loginbobbob]

@@dds-djidroneservice5959 oh dammmn, a video I want to see but not looking forward to

[@richardtaylor3938]

A few days ago I noticed a "stress crack" in the upper body of my Mavic Air 2 near one of the forward legs of the drone. Your video was spot on for me in how to replace the upper body as well as watching out for the screws holding it in place on the bottom. Thanks!!

[@gmbmedia28]

Same I think it is a known issue for Mavic Air 2 😮‍💨

[@Ukanio91]

Can you do the same with the controller? In my case the left joy is not symmetrical and I'm thinking about repair by myself

[@a9dproduction64]

Insane! thanks this is good to know

[@jakedavid2523]

great video! Im trying to add an external battery. Do you happen to know if those 2 holes on the esc near the battery connector a positive and negative battery input?

[@michaeltrager4381]

Hi Jack nice video. Can parts be obtained for the gimbal/ camera assembly for repair? Mine broke in two. The camera from the rotating lower half. First plant in a high tree in 2.5 years. My other DJI Phantom 3 Pro is still with me with original props and battery:)

[@RDroneUY]

Hi, where is the ADS-B receiver module located? You didn´t mentioned it. BTW, Thanks for the video!!!

[@martygenska8117]

That was pretty interesting

[@jackhibbleriii]

Perfect!

[@stefanoguitarplayer]

Ottimo, thanks

[@eduardongc]

Hello, excellent video, can you confirm where exactly the compass is located? Thanks

[@dcallaway0604]

Regarding the controller - I watched a vid from ALIENTECH about their antenna booster and noted that there were two internal antenna wires and the did not appear to be connected to the antenna/smart phone holder. Is this correct, the “antenna” is not the actual antenna. Great vid, thanks

[@fishesfromtupperware]

Thanks for the vid! It'd be lovely if you could do an assembly vid as well. Yeah, it's pretty much a reversal. But things like putting the front shoulder joint (?) into the half-way position to pre load it is not quite obvious. Also I had a heck of a time prying off the front sensor cover. Really felt like I was breaking it! Finally prying up a tiny bit on each ear (same clips you mentioned at 2:08) at the rear top shell make removal MUCH easier! It was so tight, I kept looking to see if I'd removed the screws! Nonetheless, yours was a very good vid! thanks again!

[@dds-djidroneservice5959]

will work on an assembly vid stand by

[@thedroningjeeper4750]

I came to watch this video when I was about to break the same thing you broke. Luckily, you broke it, so I didn't have to! The new Air 2S is substantially similar to this.

[@jsav2601]

great video, but were can i get replacement parts like landing gear/legs for instance?

[@dds-djidroneservice5959]

Good question! djidroneservice.com/product/ID495C114/

[@delphen]

first on the world ! thank you

[@ollyperkins]

Not quite first tbf - this great vid won that comp - m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKCXg5Kwes-isNk

[@drabberfrog]

@@ollyperkins both of the videos were uploaded the same day.

[@eduardongc]

Hello, very good video, I have a big doubt, I want to know if you know where exactly the compass is located in the Mavic Air 2, I had a similar doubt with the compass of the Mavic Air v1 and after investigating more than 6 I was able to confirm that it was located in the main board, that is, it is integrated with the board. Do you know if the same thing happens with the Mavic Air 2 version? Thank you

[@avenchys77]

Gracias 👍

[@hiteshkatariya1187]

Would love to see a Matrice 300 RTK tear down.

[@nixxonnor]

"IMU" probably means Inertial Measurement Unit. A package that possibly senses change in orientation and other kinds of accelleration?

[@skylurkerph]

hi do you have idea if the air 2 core board mother board same with the air 2s mother board? can they compatibly replace each other? thanks from the philippines here

[@varn4591]

first ma2 teardown 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ollyperkins]

Not quite first - this one beat it by a few hours 😂 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKCXg5Kwes-isNk

[@magicvines3d832]

Mavic air 2 has two antennas inside front legs. Which antenna is receiving and which is transmitting? Thanks.

[@desortp]

Great video, thanks for the time spend. Could you perhaps do a disassembly video of the remote controller as well? Is there a vibration function/motor in the controller?

[@KaneLono]

Question about the bottom cover on the Mavic air 2... There are two round sensors on each side of the LED. When you take the bottom cover off, do those have glass in them or are they just empty holes? In other words, is there supposed to be glass covering the glass sensors? Thanks

[@dansmith6990]

Don't think so. Google "mavic air 2 bottom cover" and you'll see they're just holes

[@johnthomasgriffith2023]

You videos are god sends very thorough. Can you shoot a video on how to repair DJI Mavic Air Pro that fell into ocean salt water. Sent to DJI in Dallas, Tx. They wanted 400+ to refurbish it. I’d rather try myself. I’m on vacation in Maldives. I’m using DJI Mini 3 Pro. But I still want my Air pro back. Peace. JTG

[@dolbyblustar]

Hi mate. Is it possible to buy spare parts from DJI? The bottom shell of mine that covers the light and sensors that says Mavic on it has been scratched up pretty bad. I was hoping if it’s just a piece of plastic that it can be replaced. Thanks.

[@artemkhol7321]

Hi Jack, thank you for this guideline. Really appreciate. I have some questions. Basically, due to new European regulations, I need to decrease 570 grams weight of the Mavic Air 2 to 500 grams. I have an idea to get rid of avoidance sensors (Front,Down,Rear). Related to the above, the questions as follow: 1. Is there a chance to measure the weight of each module are shown in the video: - Front sensors (3:35) - Down sensors (4:29) - Rear sensor (7:05) 2. What are the parts may be considered as redundant? Just in case if avoidance sensors will not cut 70 grams. 3. In case I remove 3 mentioned modules and disable the avoidance sensors in the setting of the app. Would it be working fine? 4. Is the a chance to remove - Rear sensor (7:05) without unsoldering work? Thank you a lot for any information. it will help me a lot to make a decision. I believe for many people in Europe that would be helpful, due to the new European restrictions (valid from 1 July 2020) with drones above 500 grams. Thank you a lot

[@GODlikeTeaching]

Thinking the same. Did you find the info?

[@ferdinandoarmeni6328]

How to you open the side panels on the rear legs?

[@DysartDrones]

What tools do I need for this? What type of screw drivers?

[@joeestrada113]

Where can I buy a new frame?

[@yannickromswinckel]

you forgot the two "legs" on the front arms. Whats in there besides of front LEDs?

[@samgab]

Yannick Romswinckel As per the manual, the front legs contain the antennas.

Does anyboby know what processor (or SoC) is installed in subject?

[@DroneZoneDE]

Should be an Allwinner H6 SoC. But have to confirm still.

[@callofdutyzombie8935]

How do I reset the front axle?

[@enchantedeagle4632]

So your from DJI Drone Service, can you tell me why when i put my battery in my drone, and try to connect the drone to my controller, the drone slightly turns on, i can hear it turn on, the battery light turns on, and the blades wiggle a bit, but the front and rear lights on the arms dont turn on and it doesn't go into pair mode to connect to my controller, ive had my drone for very little time before it started doing this, and it hasn't been in any rough conditions, how can i fix it or can you send me in the direction of someone who can fix it.

[@45601warrior]

Does anyone know the kv on the motors ?

[@sayamlord]

Keep it up first to open

[@angelocampia]

missing the antennas

[@mendelprager1853]

How do you reset the front arm axis shafts? When i put mine back in the arm keeps flipping the wrong direction. Please help!

[@wyattwells235]

Did you ever resolve the issue? Currently facing the same issue smh

[@KAPOPRO]

hi i would like to send you a picture of a air 2s broken arm , if it s worth it to repair it.

[@Vooaltodrone]

Congratulations on your excellent work, I want to be your friend, one more channel subscriber and like stamped

[@kimjong-un464]

If you mount the camera right above you can get a better view.

[@nixxonnor]

I hope I never have to do such a job on my Air 2

[@samgab]

FYI, the plural form of “axis” is “axes” ;)

[@richardsimmons6470]

GREAT AND HELP FUL VIDEO Would suggest you use a solder sucker to remove the solder for motors and take a photo of the wires before you remove the wires Why dont DJi use plugs like parrot

[@dds-djidroneservice5959]

wish i knew maybe direct that question to china

[@rootbeerbuzz9696]

Can you explain why on earth would you find it necessary to do a tear down of this product. What’s the point? Sure, it is fascinating but dumb, I think.

[@dronezonenj3038]

Its a guide for anyone to use if they happen to break their drone as DJI gives ZERO support in this area

We do repair drones..lots of ppl prefer to diy the repair. some find it super helpful
