Mavic Air - Watch This Before You Buy

Buy DJI Mavic Air: goo.gl/NKVtu8
The DJI Mavic Air is the perfect balance of size, performance and price. It has a 4K camera, 3 axis gimbal and is amazingly small for a drone with this many features. In many ways, it takes the best parts of the DJI Mavic Pro and the DJI Spark and combines them into a very portable package. If you are wondering if the Mavic Air can live up to the hype, you should watch this video!
With a variety of newer drones out on the market today it's good to see how the Mavic Air stacks up and handles as a very portable photography drone.

After 2 years this lil monster is still my fave of ALL of em ! W

[@SeattleSal1]

Thanks for your input. I watched the DJI Announcement and ordered it within 10 minutes. 👍

[@lancebland1308]

Thank you!! Really helped a lot. Buying one tomorrow Outstanding!!!

[@djwak59]

Thanks for posting this . Very informative.

[@minipoopuu12340]

I’ve decided on getting the Mavic Air after watching this review! Thanks for sharing 👍😃

[@ksmackvolleyball]

I have always wanted a quadcopter that was small enough to toss into my backpack which I could carry around with me, yet not notice I had it. But it also had to be able to capture stable quality video. So when the Mavic Air came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. This is the drone that caters to my specific uses. On the negative side, everyone says it is very loud, like a swarm of buzzing bees. Hopefully future versions are quieter, cause you don't want people to notice you're flying it, and then complain. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford one, cause it is the quadcopter I've always wanted.

[@twk0500]

I just preordered a Mavic Air Combo today , it will be my 1st drone. Can’t wait for it to arrive. For now it’s watching all the videos & reviews on KZbin. Thanks. Great video, gave it a big thumbs up & you got another subscriber.

[@ABDRawahah84]

I'm crying right now it's a beautiful drone and the red color wow its looks like a ferrari in the skies. Love it, I want it really badly

[@FLYTNC2000]

Yellow for me.. Lamborghini

[@pmconaway2861]

Thanks for the hands on/first look. I'd be interested in how accurate the flight time is.

[@MrMarantzman]

Totally awesome review Kelly, I can't wait to see the other video's abou the "Mavic Air"

[@MegaJustice]

Awesome review. Can’t wait to get my handles on this one for my upcoming trips.

[@THATisFUNNYyo]

Best review I seen so far! Showing all the details 💯

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks!

[@seanwestgate6255]

Love it!! Love your coverage of all Drones!! Your my go to guy for great and informative decisions. Thanks for it all

[@shaydumitru7065]

Thank you very much !!! It's very helpful!

[@andrewburns7608]

This drone looks amazing. Probably will be my next buy.

[@KenHeron]

Nice review Kelly!!

[@DroneHDTV]

Ken they didnt send you one? maybe you needed some DJI crash collision avoidance ? glad your well

[@HeilRay]

Dangit DJI, Give Ken some AIR beneath his wings, if you know what Im saying.

[@saltygoatfish7846]

I've got the Phantom 3 Pro and I think I've made my decision - Looks like I'll picking up this drone. Thanks for the information on the Mavic Air!

[@davidp2966]

Thank you for another informative video! It looks to me that it might be difficult to fit filters on that lens.. I wonder if any will be available?

[@aijazsiddiqui4431]

Great video. Simple and straight to the point. Made me subscribe

[@Central_CoastRotors]

Great overview of the product...! Made me subscribe...thanks for your work on this. 😎🚁

[@maxheadroom8814]

Caught your videos on Mavic Air plus Goggles and found it informative enough to pick this combo up. I’m upgrading from a P2 so I really appreciate the excellent guidance.

[@readysetdrone]

You are most welcome!

[@cnbsdad]

Just ordered the Air in white. Thanks for the video. You did a great job 👏🏼

[@FSEVENMAN]

Thumbs up I like the video I love the quad I bought one flame red also the only thing I think you could have pointed out that you didn't is that the front legs aren't just landing gear the are receiving antennas and it's very important to have them extended at all times during flight keep up the good work

[@kleincamper]

Wow. You have the most beautiful lawn i have ever seen!

[@noeysfastrc3291]

Nice awesome looking drone, sounds very promising. Thanks for sharing this very much expected video of the new DJI drone.👍

[@SteveH-TN]

I watched DJI Live this morning. So happy you all ready had one so you could do this awesome review. I just ordered my Mavic Pro & recieved last November. Just got my Temporary Remote Pilot Certificate last week. Exciting times.

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks and congrats on the Remote Pilot Certificate! Thanks for the comment!

[@chaostravel7169]

Just put my order in. Looks unbelievable.

[@droningharry]

Great job Kelly! I just picked it up and it’s great. Selling my P3SE now and keeping my Spark and this. Think I have all I need for now.

[@TuTuChiefs]

I spend more time watching your video's than I do t.v. My friends and family think I'm nuts😂 Thanks for all the time you put into your video's and explaining everything so people can understand. Thumbs up👍

[@isaacofHB]

I look at it as more of a spark than a Mavic and I’m sure they could have easily marketed it as a new spark but I sure do love it

[@johnlowe3345]

It was very informative and fun to watch. thank you.

[@PatrickMichael2002]

Just got here looking for info before purchasing a Mavic Air. Great channel. Excellent content.

[@nickcummins2053]

Always love your videos, keep up the great work

[@bath1968]

Great first review 👍, defo going to get one to go with my Spark 😀

[@Travelwithchris]

Love this drone!!!! Been using it on my videos !!!!!

[@Jeremy.Muller]

I love this video. Thanks!

[@seanwilson162]

I love my Mavic air, worth every cent. Great drone

[@Flyingaceful]

Very nice review! Thank you sir!

[@suyumegore6836]

Hi there! Thanks for the review! What I wonder about is why these quads don’t improve on higher speed, longer battery life, increased and improved control distance to about 5 or 10 kms to begin with same as saying its ability to be controlled to send and receive signals at farther distance... please check these capabilities when you can? I’m having difficulty to decide which one to get, the 2 pro, phantom or this air? Please help me decide! Thanks again!

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

Awesome Kelly, I can see in your face how happy you are. That's awesome brother. You and the fam take care

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks Donnie - right back at you!

[@fahadalajmi277]

thank you for all of these information i really like it . it deserve a big like

[@barryhuizing2804]

Looks awesome! Thanks for a great review!

[@truenorth365]

DJI keeps on delivering! Very happy with my Mavic Pro. But this just seem better...smaller, better camera, rear sensors, faster, better obstacle avoidence etc. This will definetely go into my kayak hatch. Exciting times, thanks for the video! Thumbs up from Sweden

[@sandeepmates]

planning to buy , just explained beautifully

[@papocintron6420]

Nice review the quad looks good. Looking forward to more. Please keep us updated.

[@lifeofgerard]

Best Review of the Air I've seen so far!

[@toxin911]

i still have a major hump for Dji as a company but this Air is pretty impressive...i will be ordering the Autel Evo today or tomorrow but i have to think about this abit now

[@IaninLondon]

Out of the blue! Great review! Folding landing legs and gimbal guard! And reverse sensors too....Ordered mine today :)

[@grunter131]

Hi do you know whether the asteroid and boomerang special shots will be in an up date for the mavic pro and the spark because i have both of these drones

[@Believer7154]

Thank you for sharing. Great works! I'm new to this and would like your advice as what drone would be best for a beginner? Budget is $300-$400

[@JSKCKNIT]

Just want to say thanks for the review and videos. It helped me in my decision to purchase this drone. Quick question, can the controller hold a phone that's in a protective case? I have my galaxy s7 edge in an otterbox case. Thanks again. - Corey

[@wj7022]

Awesome video! Really liked it! And this new drone is crazy awesome for how significantly small it is!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks. It really is pretty amazing. I will be posting much more soon!

[@charlmeyer8113]

I love this drone. Great review just make me want to fly.

[@maiden4me733]

I've enjoyed your reviews for a while but this review was top notch. Very nicely done!!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks! I put some time into this one, so I'm glad to hear you liked it!

[@temerelabucejo66]

Just got my Mavic Air today 😀 thanks for the comparison info its very helpful!

[@sy3193]

How is it now

[@charlesmorzo5149]

Can the hand gesture/smartcontrol be use without the controller like the spark? Thanks.

[@themartins2378]

I love it!!! Preordered....

[@johannesschneemann9960]

Great Video! I can't wait for the next one :)

[@clarkeugene5727]

I did watch your comparison video between the Mavic Pro & Mavic Air. It was very informative, fair and valuable.

[@brmogul]

well explained , many thanks

[@the-bu3lb]

I need help understanding is it better stable then the phantom 3 pro or it better to get a mavic pro over the pro 2

[@robelliott80]

Tough to say which is more impressive -- the product or the review. Thanks very much, Ready Set Drone! Keep it up, I'm subscribed. Many thanks.

[@Mrrajitha2009]

Good video. Thanks for sharing the details

[@MrWtfover1]

Does it come with the OTG Cable? I just ordered mine yesterday..I am excited...good video

[@willa.7541]

Any suggestions on what drone should a beginner purchase? Thanks in advance

[@RICKHALBUR]

Nice review Kelly wish i waited a week just got my Spark last Thursday. Looks like a winner. Thanks

[@impactmartialartsnewark6570]

Just got the Mavic air and I love it! Great video!

[@thespring1776]

I am panning to buy one.. Could you please tell me how the video quality is..

[@ReassuringSmile]

have the phantom 3... it is not good for traveling, I find myself checking in the backpack which costs additional. I need this or the spark

[@realstonekicker4371]

Nice review on the Mavic Air. No B.S. antics just good straight info.

[@RKPHD]

As usual the best review. 😎

[@GruntHarley]

The boomerang feature can be used around another object instead of the person operating the drone?

[@WilliamParmley]

Sounds fantastic.

[@JennaCee]

Very Nice!! And congrats on the 'first' review. I know there is a reason I follow the channel!! Looking forward to your further reviews. I think I need to order one.

[@dronereviewman9580]

Your CHANNEL is soo good!! I just noticed your subs wow you have a lot and you deserve them!! You do a great job POSTING!! Im hoping to be on your level in a year or 2!! GREAT POST MAN 👍👍

[@MVPCREW-lj2uf]

very good review, I actually have one and loving it. whats the title of the last music you use for this vid?

[@whocares6901]

Sounds fantastic. The only thing that concerns me as I am shopping for one for my work. I'll be taking a lot of roof photos. Shingle roofs reflect very brightly in the sun and I am wanting more info about the dampening of the light in the app. I hope to do it on the fly pun intended. Als, can you scale back your pixel range? Thanks in advance.

[@grahamkiely722]

Great first impression review. I was going to buy the Mavic Pro but as a cyclist and motorcyclist this form factor and no lack of video quality suits my needs. I have a question for you. Your footage appears smooth and non "steppy" like many others I've seen. I'm no expert but is that due to post editing software or settings on the drone? It's the only thing stopping my purchase. I've read it could be 30fps rendered to 24fps??

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Great first look Kelly. I'm kinda torn between getting this or waiting for the Mavic II. Any thoughts ?

[@alimaleki217]

Thanks for the review and comparison with the Mavic Pro. Are there some disadvantages that come with it being smaller? Stability, being able to identify it in the sky? How about the controller not having a screen? Do you think this is the next Mavic Pro or will there be a Mavic Pro2?

[@4etk1e]

What about color profiles? And is it possible to adjust the sharpness contrast saturation?

[@wakkaflakkadown]

Awesome review!! Nobody else hits everything as clearly as you do. Thanks for listing the cost as well - is that for the fly more combo or just for the drone itself?

[@SilverShamrock4]

best review yet on this drone. Good job !

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

[@SteelBuckeye]

This isn’t a review. This is a sales pitch.

[@DirtBandit]

Thank you for the great info. I think this helped me with my purchase

[@Asiannerd07]

Do you have to have the drone register before you can fly it?

[@WichitaFallFishKeeper]

Great review. I was going to buy a spark. I think I will wait and buy this one as my 1st drone. Thanks

[@readysetdrone]

Definitely a good choice!

[@rockyhorseshoe1898]

Do you have a silent mode for the motors?

[@janetairlines1351]

Can you tell me if the mavic pro can download its pics straight to your device (phone) like the mavic air does? Wirelessly, even during flight.....

[@jonnyappleseed2282]

Awesome review boss !!!!!!!!

[@northeastdroneproductions]

Nice review mate. Great little drone. Cheers mate

[@bikermd5395]

Awesome review keep it up . ill buy one surely . my spark is still amazing but this one has it all

[@X4hunterx4]

Awesome review!!

[@deltabravo1257]

Subscribed! Thanks for the details info on the Mavic Air. I'm very close to buying one.

[@readysetdrone]

I just published a video about Quickshots with the Mavic Air - you should check it out!

[@deltabravo1257]

Ready Set Drone will do Thanks. I probably should get the fly more package.

[@montanarider3713]

Please give as much info about active tracking . I just ordered mine and really need to understand how track myself on a mountain bike ect. How do you do that? Do you have to hold the controller while tracking? Can you track yourself from the hand gestures mode? How far can you go? etc. Thanks a ton for your vids !! Huge help and influence in my purchase decision!

[@MwRYum]

For someone who has been on the fence since the Phantom 1, this year I may actually get a Mavic Air, thanks to your review.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I've gotta be honest DJI really shocked me and I'm very impressed with this. They absolutely got me to preorder one. Great video!

[@ZLL668]

Isn't Spark your favorite drone?

[@SteveH-TN]

I have a feeling TEDD will have a new favorite soon !!!

[@stevemontana5974]

I just ordered it too. The 12 month payment plan was the game changer for me.

[@MrHollabk]

U dont want to wait until the specs of the Mavic 2 are revealed?

[@hotchi1566]

According to the rumor, Mavic 2 is a litter bigger than Mavic 1 and will have 1'' sensor. Obviously, it is designed for different market segmentation compared with Mavic Air. Think about the difference between Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. Just the same arrangement like Mavic Pro (2) and Mavic Air.

[@JosesGarage101]

Great video!!! How well does M air do i hard wind?

[@Steinegal]

Latest controller update brings a push and hold function to adjust the exposure with the wheel😃

[@rulerofomicronpersei8]

Very nice, I’m saving up for this one! Great review! 👍

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks!

[@sy3193]

@@readysetdrone hi how is the mavic air now

[@VanzeppelinAerial]

Great review! Footage looks crisp and easily on par with what I get out of the Mavic Pro. While everyone would of course love to have a 1" sensor and more camera improvements, I'm still completely sold on the Mavic Air. As a travel drone it really can't be beat for size/performance. Looking forward to my order's arrival next week.
