12:30 - I purchased my Mavic Air 2 about 2 months ago. DJI has provided a major software update allowing you to control the YAW and GIMBLE speed and stopping. In other words, it's a LOT smoother.
@@SeanOzz we'll just be able to get A Basin pass this season. LOVE A Basin, but first time without an Epic in a while :-( You still getting all 3 this year?
Great video. I am 1 flight in with my new Mavic Mini here in the UK and have been watching with interest the reviews of big bro. That is a beautiful location. We are currently banned from going to my favourite Welsh mountains with the Covid19 situation, but I hope to be posting some mountain footage when possible. I am looking forward to your next Mavic Air 1&2 videos. Keep up the good work
I'd def consider.... Would like to know more details before saying yes or no... Thanks Sean. Would be cool to spend a day or two flying with you & friends
I have the mavic air and I love the way it looks compared to the MA2 but the occusync is really the determining factor on weather I upgrade or not. Great video btw.
@@SeanOzz they haven't left anything out. You're talking about the features in the "App" not the drone. The new app will get continuous updates, it's a new app afterall. It being updating all the time. it was recently updated to enable 2.7 and 4k quickshots. it will get better other time. As for the form factor the original air looks awful imo.
@@valeccylinder8703 congratulations for having an opinion. If youre happy will with a drone with props that dont fold away properly when the drone is folded and can only last 15mins in the air then I'm happy for you. Everyones opionion is different.
Just picked up on your Channel - Great work Brother - Beautiful scenery - Just picked up the Mavic air 2 but ordered from the US to get Airsense - as we don’t get in Europe - Cracking Drone - You’re spot on about the slowing down - You really have to break early - Keep up the good work and Thanks 😁👍
Yes I agree that it’s hard to see the battery level on the screen. There are many Air 2 owners who commented on this issue. Hope DJI can do something about it. Anyway thanks for sharing and I can’t wait to watch more videos in the near future. I subscribed to your channel. Cheers bud!
Hi Sean got to agree with the battery indicator on the air2 I press the symbol and it shows the 3 cell indicator which is useful for keeping an eye on how much charge is left also got to agree with the nipple twitching made me laugh anyway great video keep up the great work.
hey, yes you can tap it however when in the middle of flying it will mess up your shot if you try to glance down and have to try and tap it. a glance with the go4 slider is all you need so fingers crossed DJI gives us that in an update.
Just jumped on your bus mate, over from ispike, I watched this video just before the spike show. How you are well mate. Great video from a MA2 owner 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sean Ozz it’s fun, glad you dropped in fella, I didn’t know about your music either so that was cool, I love my drone, all this is totally new to me so I rely on good reviews and tests and the like. Good stuff fella 👏🏻👏🏻
I loved my Mavic Air, but where I live, I had so much interference that I could only go as far as 2000 feet before it cut out, I was pissed. Mavic Air 2's Occusync was a game changer for me. I can now go 3x as far. 6000 feet doesn't sound like much, but in my area full of factories and old metal structures, it's more than enough for me.
Thank you Sean, as I waited for this video! I am very impressed with the milage on the second version... and the battery status, after it came back. Trying to figure out best time to pull the trigger, seeing that Autel is already fiddling with corporate DJI turf fight lol Definitely something to think about for me, this coming summer here in Canada.
@@vanitas8582 The Mavic Air 1 is more mature than the Zino 2, but it has issues with the transmission distance - too short and makes a loud noise.

@@Blueskyver thanks, but as a student i really dont have so much Money...I know that the mavic air has more functions and is overall better but i also know that it Has Range issues as you said. So for me it is a really hard decision to make. I am just thinking about the mavic air because i can get it second Hand for about 500€, what is actually a good deal. Please let me know your Suggestion and thanks again
Oh my God! That is beautiful. My wife grew up in Longmont. This is what I bought the Mavic Air 2 for. We live in Texas but visit Colorado at least once a year .
Great video thanks for sharing! Very beautiful country they’re lucky to have that area around you. Got my Mavic air 2 yesterday Took it out just to get familiar with it because the Mavic mini I had seem to have some issues. I ended up doing a range test but didn’t have my video rolling :-(. But I do have the flight data 15415’ 2.92 miles I was very impressed ! Again thanks for sharing great video happy flying!
Hi I just bought the mavic air 2 I'm a bit worried don't know if there could be something wrong with it any idea? Immediately get interference. Seems my mavic mini went further. Sometimes. I will lose video immediately but the drones continues to fly forward without video but can see the drone flying on the gps map. Any help would be great.
Great flight great scenery amazing work sir, I agree with the font it’s extremely hard to see at least they could add some color to to the numbers to make them a little bolder!
Not sure if you noticed but the first island you were planning around with the mav air 2 you were able to catch some birds in flight. Really sweet job on the panning!
Thanks for the comparison. Since I have the Air 1 and never go that far away from my subject (and you are supposed to keep the drone in line of sight aren’t you?) I think I’ll wait for either the Pro3 next year or possibly grab a Skydio 2 and Beacon to get some great action videos... if I didn’t already own the original Air, I would probably grab the Air 2...
Well done video! I am just beginning to learn how to edit. I had the air two ordered until I found a really good deal on an MPZ. I think I will get an air 2 at some point as well. I don’t understand why they don’t use the go 4 app though? Would have made more sense.
the fly app is not bad it just is missing a few features. mainly the battery slider that makes knowing your flight time a snap at a glance and some gimbal adjustability.
You said the mav air 1 recently got a firmware update, can you tell me what firmware version that was? I can’t find any new firmware update , would like to get it if there is an update, thanks!
In this video I talk about how I am purposely pointing away from the drone. I even turn to the drone and speak about that in the video. Your answer is in the video. Thanks for the comment.
Nice test 👌 I am still very happy I upgraded from mavic air, to mavic air 2, flight time, camera quality, and occusync 2.0 make the air 2 a sure winner against the original mavic air. Now if it was just a little smaller lol Just me being picky.
Nicely Done, Sean! Excellent job with comparing the original to the new Air2. I especially enjoyed your comment on not being a pincher, saving it for other purposes, LOL! I’ll be looking forward to your future videos on the #MavicAir2. BTW, next time wear a warmer jacket🤪🤪! This was a beautiful flight test in such gorgeous surroundings, take care’
if you tap on the battery icon you get a nice colorful pop up of the battery. it gives you the battery temp, flight time and remaining volts in battery.
yep, but it is very hard to tap on the screen at all when in the middle of a shot. a quick glance is what we need. something like the go4 app would be perfect.
@@SeanOzz I guess thats why your a pro making these vids and im just a hobbyists with his first drone. your attention to details. I would of never of thought of that but makes sense now!
One thing I prefer the mavic air 1 over the 2 is the battery is under the drone and if your flying in a very bright hot sunny day it's not an issue as the battery is well protected. I wished they had done that to Mavic 2 series and the air 2. I've had battery issues with the mavic 2 and the mavic pro 1. Too hot environment will cause the battery to swell in time specially flying between 11am to 2pm when the sun is directly overhead. But with Mavic air and Phantom series 3 to 4pro never had a battery issue what so ever. Phantom series are well shielded from direct sunlight.
Also. From my understanding being in America I am fcc. Europe uses ce. So that would mean mine are fcc mode. Are u speaking of just the air 1, yes. That is in the best mode for furthest range. It did pretty frigging amazing compared to what it normally does.
Correct. I show that in detail in a newer video however. It is nothing like the go4 slider. Lacking big time in comparison to the slider. Watch it and see for yourself. th-cam.com/video/hwM0pWgahkQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video and footage I don’t know if is just Me but I think the air 1’s HD video feed looked a lot better and the footage itself looked a lot crisper on the air 1 on the air 2 the trees looked a little washed out and the video feed wasn’t as crisp I don’t know maybe it was just Me always enjoy Your videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
With UK/CE radio power levels I was lucky to get 500m with my Air using the 5GHz band, and only once managed to get over 2000m on 2.5GHz using parabolic reflectors on the antenna. The Air 2 however with dual band OcuSync is much better - best to date was 4600m before turning back due to low battery warning ( there was a headwind ) and signal was still strong.
A friend of mine (Fred Konczak) has had the Mavic Air 1 for over a year now. The BEST distance he's ever gotten was around 2300 feet away. Over the open water at Morgan's Point. In normal flying around urban, suburban areas it disconnects as close as 50 feet and has never gotten farther than 1000 feet. I'm trying to get him to shake out the bucks for the Mavic Air 2. And on another note, yeah, DJI needs to fix the battery notification on the Fly app. Definitely.
2300 feet is great... i don't know about you but thing is a dot in the sky at 1200-1500 feet. lol my air can drop to 500 feet depending if i am through trees, or lower, or near buildings and such. occusynch is great though. changes all that.
I like my mavic air. When the batteries get a bit older, it sometimes detects a critically low battery, and just starts landing, no other override options, so be careful over water. I almost lost mine in Williams fork reservoir last week.
Great video. Essentially a much better option than Air 1. Total distance doesn't matter but a bit extra with no breakup of feed is what's important. I hate you can't adjust yaw gimbal speed etc. and that battery indicator is terrible. No adsb for Europe is annoying BUT with no altitude I don't want to panic over an airliner at 10000ft. 👍
Ive just got the mavic air (flymore combo- used) for $435 dollars. I was not sure to get it, cause I really wanted the mavic mini, but the offer appear and I bought it. Hopefully I did right.
My mavic air does what it does and I technically don’t need to go further. I do wish the battery life on air 1 was in creased to 27 minutes as realistically air flys under 18 minutes with wind. The build on the air is solid and I flew 11811feet 3.6 km before I hit return to home before on the air and as you said we don’t fly this far anyway. Is more often you want to be in that location than flying from far away.
I was upset about how you can't manually adjust the sticks and the GIMBAL speed.. But come to find out they did their homework with the tripod, normal in sports mode.. I THINK THEY GOT IT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT IN THOSE MODES WORK AWESOME FOR EVERY SITUATION.. it feels like I already adjusted to settings when I use those modes the way I liked it in the first place.. DJI fly app and the MAVIC AIR 2 is all about getting more shots in the air and spending less time confused with the app. IT'S ABOUT SIMPLICITY!! It's AWESOME!!! I have never been able to get in the air and get the shots so quickly with any other drone versus the mavic Air 2!!THE HDR IS SO GOOD IT'S LIKE YOU ALREADY DID POST-PROCESSING AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO DO ANY!!
i assume that will get added in an update, the springs on the sticks is really good so even without that feature you can get some smooth flying. is this your 1st mavic style drone? i ask since you said you could never get in the air so quickly before? pretty nice huh?
If you get lag on the screen you need to exchange it. The wifi connection normally does not allow me or anyone I know to get this far. Thats the downside to a wifi drone.
Might be a bit too late to exchange it if its been a year. Thats a bummer. Wifi drones from many years ago all had crazy lage from screen to real time but dji somehow did it without any on the air1 and mini. If you're seeing a delay (unless its interference) then it sounds like it might have an issue.
Depends. Thats what dji claims but you really don't wanna go that far. Your best shots almost always come from in line of site. This is a test of signal strength. That is why we do range test.
And think about how good the signal was and you weren't even pointing your antenna towards the Drone. The manual says POINT the top of the the antenna directly at the Drone.
Yep. Thats why I purposely didn't for both flights. Amazing how well the air 1 did. Mind blown. I expected the air 2 to do this well just like ny zoom.
@@SeanOzz Like I said it's not hard to do well with Wi-Fi when you're over open water.. any Wi-Fi drone would do well I'm not impressed.. so it basically did what DJ I said it would do. It did not overachieve by any means. You tried doing that in an urban area not pointing it at the mavic air YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF YOU GET A 1000 FEET!! ;) There's tons of videos that prove it. In an urban area it is a disaster in the Mavic mini blows it away... The Wi-Fi transmission on the mavic air is very very very average it does nothing special..and there are other drones that use Wi-Fi that are actually better..
I assume you are new here? I've already made other videos in urban and not 8n urban areas showing it get 500-1000 if lucky. Thats why I'm impressed. At this very location I just did a flight that has broken up at 1000 and another at 2000 and the furthest was 4000. Other wifi drones do not do as well over the lake. You're more than welcome to come join us at Spindown (I mentioned in another vodeo) and fly over this very lake.
@@SeanOzz Yes I'm new to watching your channel I like it.. So I apologize if I didn't watch the other ones... I came from the mavic pro to the mavic Air 2. the mavic air 2 is my first drone that pre-ordered that I bought brand new.. I bought a used mavic pro 2 years ago only spending $730 for the fly more combo. Love the Drone!! I never thought it was worth upgrading to the mavic 2 pro or the mavic 2 zoom just grossly overpriced I'm a there are things that matter and there are things that don't type of guy. I sold my mavic pro for $700 after I pre-ordered the mavic air to it only took 3 days for the mavic pro to sell it went like hot cakes. I drove that thing in every range test you can imagine in my area. I found that the Mavic pro did Just as good as the mavic Air 2 in any direction and in some directions it did better.. Very disappointed knowing that DJI has been bragging that the second generation of ocusync 2.0 and is the best signal transmission they have to offer of any drone. BUT IT ISN'T!!! Yes it's clear when it works. But in terms of dropping the signal the mavic pro was just as good. The mavic pro backed up everything DJ I said about it.. Not with the mavic Air 2 in terms of losing signal.. ;)
The original mavic pro was a game changer. I still have mine. Maybe a video showcasing its signal vs the air to show others how well it hold up. I do like some other features on the new air over my original pro and air. I also like some features on my air 1 more and my zoom. My evo I am not a fan of. I need to sell it. Did you use ebay? Thanks for the props on the channel and welcome. I appreciate when people take the time to comment and help grow the community.
Nice shots, but mislabeled as range test when you don’t go full range... It’s like you got distracted by the view. As for the battery level, yes it could be better, but not that critical when you can see clearly how much time you have AND you can just tap it once to see a large view of it if really curious. Not worth focusing on I think.
nope, not mislabeled at all but thanks for the comment. yeah, the battery losing the slider is a HUGE deal for most who have been flying DJI products. trust me, it's not just me. ;)
I have been complaining about not being able to see that battery percentage since the mini came out. I have emailed DJI about it, but it hasn't done any good. White on white who can see that!
I know its not as convenient but if you touch the battery icon on the top of the screen, remaining flight time and battery remaining shows up and stays. Just thought you may want to know because you didn't show it.
I liked your review. However, you keep praising the controller so much Sean, i hope you realized they removed the physical PAUSE fail-safe button ? That was your only lifesaver if the drone started heading for a tree or wall during autonomous intelligent modes. Its the only thing that stopped the drone dead in its tracks and made it stand still and hover. It has been a life saver on so many occasions for me. Hitting a stop button on the APP is not a comeback id accept, bec many a time the APP just shuts down and reboots while the drone is mid flight. A few reviews are popping up with the AIR 2 having mid flight app crashes and reboots, full screen blackouts. That too the app makes the whole phone go black, not just the app crashing where you can quickly restart it.
@@SeanOzz > Hi Sean, You mean the physical RTH button should be double pressed ? Bec when you say TAP i hope your not referring to tapping on the app screen ? Thats a very important and hidden feature and it would be very valuable to show it in your future video.
Nope. Sorta but not really. Guess you didn't see my other video showing the difference side by side. Lol But thanks for coming in thinking you know all about it. Gotta love that. ;)
Its a wifi connection. It like all wifi drones is a shorter signal. 1000ft is pretty common, some get 2000-4000 with the air which is great for wifi. Occusync is a stronger better connection though.
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU DID THE MAVIC 2 PRO VS. MAVIC AIR 2!! Rememberthe DJI was bragging about the upgraded second-generation ocusync 2.0. it supposed to have less interference and go 6.2 mi unobstructed or 10km this is more competition with the mavic 2 pro than the mavic air considering the upgrades and how many things it does better than the mavic 2 pro.. They claim it's the best transmission system they ever had along with the longest flight time SO LET'S SEE. I HAVEN'T HAD VERY GOOD LUCK WITH THE MAVIC AIR 2 COMPARED TO MY MAVIC PRO FLYING IN THE SAME DIRECTIONS IN MY HIGHLY CONGESTED AREA.. THE MAVIC AIR TO DID DOUGH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL MAVIC PRO AND MAYBE EVEN WORSE IN SOME SITUATIONS.. I feel that their flight time, and ocusync 2.0 on the mavic Air 2 is false advertising.
I'll be doing the zoom vs the air 2 since the air 2 is missing all the features that make it an air. Its technically a zoom light so those test will come. It takes time to make videos though. ;)
@@SeanOzz Yes that would be great doing the mavic 2 zoom which is obviously the same transmission as the mavic 2 pro vs. The mavic Air 2 Let's see if DJI IS A BUNCH OF FRAUDS STATING THE MAVIC AIR 2 HAS THE BEST TRANSMISSION OF ANY DRONE TO DATE!! 2ND GENERATION OF OCUSYNC 2.0
The mavic air 2 is a superior drone. However, I bought the original Air used. The Air 2 used price is double that of the original, here in the UK. Is it twice the drone. Anyone got experience of both, please comment.
Where I live I seem to suffer from lots of interference. Power lines, large metal structures and WiFi. Even military transmitters. I try to stay away from these, but they can be an issue re WiFi signal. I appreciate your video, but you seem to be away from all interference where you are. How does the ocusync compare with WiFi in areas where there are lots of signals and WiFi interference. Have you done a video under more challenging circumstances?
My mavic mini has way better transmission then my mavic air one. But my mavic air 2 has what seems like endless tramision. It flys way better then my evo 2. Mavic 2 pro or zoom is still the king. By the way i live in dillion for years. Right on that lake too. Would dream of having the money and the solid women to live up there again.
interesting, the mini is wifi also but i hear that it does have a great wifi signal. I have an evo one and i am not a huge fan of it's flight characteristics. the two is similar. I dream of one day being able to buy a house up here myself.

nice! thanks for the comment and happy flying.
I have the mavic air and I love the way it looks compared to the MA2 but the occusync is really the determining factor on weather I upgrade or not. Great video btw.
Totally agree. i LOVE❤️ the original size and form factor of the air.
The air is awesome, but the air 2 is just superior and just an overall better drone in my mind. But great video! Keep it up 👍
it has some better things but they left out things on the air 1. so it no longer has the things that made the air the air. it's a mavic zoom light.
@@SeanOzz they haven't left anything out. You're talking about the features in the "App" not the drone. The new app will get continuous updates, it's a new app afterall.

I agree! Battery level is wayyyy too hard to see on the Fly app!
Nice flights there.
hopefully that gets corrected.
I don't understand getting rid of the battery slider. That is such a useful tool
Andrew Andron It give your an “estimated” time just look at the countdown to the right of the “battery” and to the left of the 3 dots.
Great comparison Sean! Spot on with the battery meter comment on the Fly app. What the heck were they thinking. 👍
hopefully they change this soon.

Trying to figure out best time to pull the trigger, seeing that Autel is already fiddling with corporate DJI turf fight lol
Definitely something to think about for me, this coming summer here in Canada.
glad you enjoyed it, more to come!
I can't get a third of that range with Mavic Air 1 especially if wifi interference present. good review agree 100% with controller comments
normally i can not either. 1000-4000 is the most i normally get.
Excellent video Sean subscribed to the channel:)

But I do have the flight data 15415’ 2.92 miles I was very impressed ! Again thanks for sharing great video happy flying!
15,000. Thats impressive. I'll be doing a zoom vs air 2 test soon as well as original mavic vs.
Sean Ozz I’ll be watching for that one I’m curious how they match up! Happy droning friend!
Hi I just bought the mavic air 2 I'm a bit worried don't know if there could be something wrong with it any idea? Immediately get interference. Seems my mavic mini went further. Sometimes.
I will lose video immediately but the drones continues to fly forward without video but can see the drone flying on the gps map. Any help would be great.
sounds like a return for a new one might be in your future.
hope you get it figured out asap.
Great flight great scenery amazing work sir, I agree with the font it’s extremely hard to see at least they could add some color to to the numbers to make them a little bolder!
Yes. Hopefully in an update they will.
Not sure if you noticed but the first island you were planning around with the mav air 2 you were able to catch some birds in flight. Really sweet job on the panning!
yes, i saw that when i was editing, lucky shot!
Is this in CE mode? Just wondering because the mavic air seems very glichy, mine has a much solider signal than that
This is fcc. I'm in America. Not Europe. ;)
Thanks for the comparison. Since I have the Air 1 and never go that far away from my subject (and you are supposed to keep the drone in line of sight aren’t you?) I think I’ll wait for either the Pro3 next year or possibly grab a Skydio 2 and Beacon to get some great action videos... if I didn’t already own the original Air, I would probably grab the Air 2...
I think that's a great mindset.
The 3 should hopefully have some nice upgrades. I dont think it will be a skydio competitor quite yet. Maybe.
Really beautiful shots....wow...I live in New Mexico I'm heading soon..
Thank you. Come join us for spin down. More info will be announced on the channel.
lovely shooting
thank you
Hi i need you opinion would you rather buy a mavic air 2 or mini 3 in 2025 ?
Probably a mini 4
GORGEOUS VIDEO CLIPS!!!!!
Thanks ;)
Well done video! I am just beginning to learn how to edit. I had the air two ordered until I found a really good deal on an MPZ. I think I will get an air 2 at some point as well. I don’t understand why they don’t use the go 4 app though? Would have made more sense.
the fly app is not bad it just is missing a few features. mainly the battery slider that makes knowing your flight time a snap at a glance and some gimbal adjustability.
Hi Sean! Always great work 👍 A little bit of pooped pants for the low battery? Happened to me this winter ... had to recover it in fresh snow valley
yeah, i think due to being over the water it made it scarier than it would have been.
do you know how to add audio commentary while recording with the mavic air 2 and dji fly app?
Thats a cached file. Your phone will record audio in the cache file.
You said the mav air 1 recently got a firmware update, can you tell me what firmware version that was? I can’t find any new firmware update , would like to get it if there is an update, thanks!
it's been a month or two.
Got the mavic air 2 and I love it with all my heart don’t regret spending the money it’s so worth it
it is a great product!
@@SeanOzz i agree
Incredible Work ✌️
Thank you so much 😀
Can't tell if you are pointing antennas directly at the drones or not???
In this video I talk about how I am purposely pointing away from the drone. I even turn to the drone and speak about that in the video. Your answer is in the video.
Thanks for the comment.
Nicely done !!! Mine is coming Friday !!!! Guess I'm just a drone junkie 😜 or an over aged kid ✌🏻🤟🏻
i feel ya there!
Wow!
Nice work my friend 😎👍
Keep it up and stay safe 😷🤟🏻
Fly safe
Thanks, you too!
Beautiful video, awesome review! what's this nice location?
Colorado.
What was the total miles away ?
About 12,000 feet. Give or take 2 miles.
Where are you filming? Looks gorgeous
Colorado, we will be hosting a meet up event in sept so stay tuned.
Nice test 👌 I am still very happy I upgraded from mavic air, to mavic air 2, flight time, camera quality, and occusync 2.0 make the air 2 a sure winner against the original mavic air. Now if it was just a little smaller lol Just me being picky.
To me its still not an air. Lost the features that made it an air. Its a great mavic pro light though. Hands down on that.
@@SeanOzz Yeah I definitely like the smaller form factor of the original and the different look
There are a few functions and flight modes you can't do with the 2 that the one did. Thats the big separation for me from mavic air to mavic pro.
@@SeanOzz Maybe hopefully something that can be fixed with a later firmware version hopefully
Great video... Though you really don't have to tap and hold the power up button... You can just tap it and it will take off 👍👍
Really? I'll have to try that again. So far every flight I've done a tap has not worked.
Maybe a long tap?
Or maybe an update changed it?
@@SeanOzz haha... Just honesty touch it and the green line goes round the circle all by itself... Allows you to prepare for take off... Whoop whoop!
Thanks. I'll for sure try that again today.
Nicely Done, Sean! Excellent job with comparing the original to the new Air2. I especially enjoyed your comment on not being a pincher, saving it for other purposes, LOL! I’ll be looking forward to your future videos on the #MavicAir2. BTW, next time wear a warmer jacket🤪🤪! This was a beautiful flight test in such gorgeous surroundings, take care’
We know 2 Kens who pinch their knobs. 🤨
Ha ha ha, thanks steve. i swear it was warm when i started the video. lol
Hope you are well.
ha ha ha, whatever works for you and helps you fly.
Great video. I have the Mavic Air 2. Watch out for Pinching Nipples! haha
Thanks. Lol
Love this drone! I have and and I enjoy flying it!
Which one?
This is very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
How did you find the mavic air 2 is it worth buying:)
If you do not have the 2 or zoom it is.
Incredibly great!!
Thanks
if you tap on the battery icon you get a nice colorful pop up of the battery. it gives you the battery temp, flight time and remaining volts in battery.
yep, but it is very hard to tap on the screen at all when in the middle of a shot. a quick glance is what we need. something like the go4 app would be perfect.
@@SeanOzz I guess thats why your a pro making these vids and im just a hobbyists with his first drone. your attention to details. I would of never of thought of that but makes sense now!
Thanks. I wouldn't say I'm a pro but I've been flying these since they started making them back with the blade Nano, that was a fun one.
One thing I prefer the mavic air 1 over the 2 is the battery is under the drone and if your flying in a very bright hot sunny day it's not an issue as the battery is well protected. I wished they had done that to Mavic 2 series and the air 2. I've had battery issues with the mavic 2 and the mavic pro 1. Too hot environment will cause the battery to swell in time specially flying between 11am to 2pm when the sun is directly overhead. But with Mavic air and Phantom series 3 to 4pro never had a battery issue what so ever. Phantom series are well shielded from direct sunlight.
This is an excellent point. Thank you for sharing.
U da best 😎
aww, shucks. miss ya!
have you seen my new nature channel? i think you would dig it. no clue why i did not start it when i first moved here. lol
are you in FCC mode or CE mode?
Its stock out of the box.
@@SeanOzz Please do the range test again. All mavic air's and sparks should be put to fcc mode. The range and connection improvements are really big.
I think 20k feet is pretty good. I easily could have hit that versus the 16500.
Also. From my understanding being in America I am fcc. Europe uses ce.
So that would mean mine are fcc mode.
Are u speaking of just the air 1, yes. That is in the best mode for furthest range. It did pretty frigging amazing compared to what it normally does.
It give your an “estimated” time just look at the countdown to the right of the “battery” and to the left of the 3 dots.
Yep. White on white.
Expect that to change in an update.
He knows that but look at the Mavic 1 app which ishows that info much better. There is a dark bar at the top so everything is clearly visible
If you touch the battery display it enlarges to a readable display and also gives more details.
Correct. I show that in detail in a newer video however. It is nothing like the go4 slider.
Lacking big time in comparison to the slider. Watch it and see for yourself.
th-cam.com/video/hwM0pWgahkQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video and footage I don’t know if is just Me but I think the air 1’s HD video feed looked a lot better and the footage itself looked a lot crisper on the air 1 on the air 2 the trees looked a little washed out and the video feed wasn’t as crisp I don’t know maybe it was just Me always enjoy Your videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am gonna do a side by side video comparison of the two soon, then the zoom and the air 2. i think the air 1 seems a bit more crisp also.
With UK/CE radio power levels I was lucky to get 500m with my Air using the 5GHz band, and only once managed to get over 2000m on 2.5GHz using parabolic reflectors on the antenna. The Air 2 however with dual band OcuSync is much better - best to date was 4600m before turning back due to low battery warning ( there was a headwind ) and signal was still strong.
thanks for sharing.
Where are you at?
Colorado. Spin down will be held here
Sean Ozz oh ok cool just bought my Mavic air 2 because of your video and love it
that's awesome. hope you used one of my links to help support the channel.
A friend of mine (Fred Konczak) has had the Mavic Air 1 for over a year now. The BEST distance he's ever gotten was around 2300 feet away. Over the open water at Morgan's Point. In normal flying around urban, suburban areas it disconnects as close as 50 feet and has never gotten farther than 1000 feet. I'm trying to get him to shake out the bucks for the Mavic Air 2. And on another note, yeah, DJI needs to fix the battery notification on the Fly app. Definitely.
2300 feet is great... i don't know about you but thing is a dot in the sky at 1200-1500 feet. lol
my air can drop to 500 feet depending if i am through trees, or lower, or near buildings and such.
occusynch is great though. changes all that.
No way the signal drops at 50 ft. I can fly my mavic air fifty feet away from my basement.
I like my mavic air. When the batteries get a bit older, it sometimes detects a critically low battery, and just starts landing, no other override options, so be careful over water. I almost lost mine in Williams fork reservoir last week.
how old? My have 75 cycles
oh dang man, that is no good....
@@rotorfpv4117 I'm in the 90s. I think it might have been a temperature thing too. Sphincter muscle time for sure.
I also tried it my mavic air land in the water flying with a bloated battery
Great video. Essentially a much better option than Air 1. Total distance doesn't matter but a bit extra with no breakup of feed is what's important. I hate you can't adjust yaw gimbal speed etc. and that battery indicator is terrible. No adsb for Europe is annoying BUT with no altitude I don't want to panic over an airliner at 10000ft. 👍
My air 1 is GREAT for the price. it has features the air 2 does not.
the air 2 flys great but it is just a mavic zoom light.
hey Sean white lettering thats why we use sunshades i always have
did not need any since the sun was going down. screen was bright.
it's a bad design in the app. hopefully only for a little bit.
Ive just got the mavic air (flymore combo- used) for $435 dollars. I was not sure to get it, cause I really wanted the mavic mini, but the offer appear and I bought it. Hopefully I did right.
The original air is nicer than the mini. So you should be happy. You will not get far flight as you might on the zoom or air 2.
I agree. I have both. I prefer the air by far.
Where is this? It's Beautiful!
Colorado
My mavic air does what it does and I technically don’t need to go further. I do wish the battery life on air 1 was in creased to 27 minutes as realistically air flys under 18 minutes with wind.
The build on the air is solid and I flew 11811feet 3.6 km before I hit return to home before on the air and as you said we don’t fly this far anyway. Is more often you want to be in that location than flying from far away.
i love my air 1 as you can see in many of my videos the build is still my favorite dji drone.
I like your test. I like long distance flights. I especially like the beautiful landscape. Mavic 2 Air is overall better than Mavic Air 1.
Wish I could say yes. But they are different and both have things the other can not do.
The only thing I don’t like about the new Air 2 is that it’s much bigger and bulky. I loved the form factor of the first Mavic air
I'm with you on that.
original air was impressive range good test
Thanks
15:00 beautiful shot!
Thank you.
I was upset about how you can't manually adjust the sticks and the GIMBAL speed..
But come to find out they did their homework with the tripod, normal in sports mode.. I THINK THEY GOT IT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT IN THOSE MODES WORK AWESOME FOR EVERY SITUATION.. it feels like I already adjusted to settings when I use those modes the way I liked it in the first place..
DJI fly app and the MAVIC AIR 2 is all about getting more shots in the air and spending less time confused with the app. IT'S ABOUT SIMPLICITY!!
It's AWESOME!!! I have never been able to get in the air and get the shots so quickly with any other drone versus the mavic Air 2!!THE HDR IS SO GOOD IT'S LIKE YOU ALREADY DID POST-PROCESSING AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO DO ANY!!
i assume that will get added in an update, the springs on the sticks is really good so even without that feature you can get some smooth flying.
is this your 1st mavic style drone?
i ask since you said you could never get in the air so quickly before? pretty nice huh?
@@SeanOzz
Definitely and I find the switch for each mode perfect for flying in any situation.
They really did a good job doing there homework..
:)
I hate the air but I think it's cause i'm afraid of flying it. The lag on the phone screen and the bad signal messes me up.
If you get lag on the screen you need to exchange it. The wifi connection normally does not allow me or anyone I know to get this far. Thats the downside to a wifi drone.
@@SeanOzz I'll look into exchanging it I have had it for about a year. Thanks, for the tips.
Might be a bit too late to exchange it if its been a year. Thats a bummer. Wifi drones from many years ago all had crazy lage from screen to real time but dji somehow did it without any on the air1 and mini.
If you're seeing a delay (unless its interference) then it sounds like it might have an issue.
It's not just the range it's a better transmission visual system by far. Ocusync 2.0 is smoother than any Wi-Fi based transmission system...
Correct. That was the point. Range us only don't to push that signal like how this video shows.
I thought these drones could go up to 4to 6 miles
Depends. Thats what dji claims but you really don't wanna go that far. Your best shots almost always come from in line of site.
This is a test of signal strength. That is why we do range test.
Selling this drone?
Yes. The air 1.
And think about how good the signal was and you weren't even pointing your antenna towards the Drone. The manual says POINT the top of the the antenna directly at the Drone.
Yep. Thats why I purposely didn't for both flights. Amazing how well the air 1 did. Mind blown. I expected the air 2 to do this well just like ny zoom.
@@SeanOzz
Like I said it's not hard to do well with Wi-Fi when you're over open water.. any Wi-Fi drone would do well I'm not impressed.. so it basically did what DJ I said it would do. It did not overachieve by any means.
You tried doing that in an urban area not pointing it at the mavic air YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF YOU GET A 1000 FEET!!
;)
There's tons of videos that prove it.
In an urban area it is a disaster in the Mavic mini blows it away...
The Wi-Fi transmission on the mavic air is very very very average it does nothing special..and there are other drones that use Wi-Fi that are actually better..
I assume you are new here?
I've already made other videos in urban and not 8n urban areas showing it get 500-1000 if lucky.
Thats why I'm impressed.
At this very location I just did a flight that has broken up at 1000 and another at 2000 and the furthest was 4000.
Other wifi drones do not do as well over the lake. You're more than welcome to come join us at Spindown (I mentioned in another vodeo) and fly over this very lake.
@@SeanOzz
Yes I'm new to watching your channel I like it..
So I apologize if I didn't watch the other ones...
I came from the mavic pro to the mavic Air 2. the mavic air 2 is my first drone that pre-ordered that I bought brand new..
I bought a used mavic pro 2 years ago only spending $730 for the fly more combo. Love the Drone!!
I never thought it was worth upgrading to the mavic 2 pro or the mavic 2 zoom just grossly overpriced
I'm a there are things that matter and there are things that don't type of guy.
I sold my mavic pro for $700 after I pre-ordered the mavic air to it only took 3 days for the mavic pro to sell it went like hot cakes.
I drove that thing in every range test you can imagine in my area.
I found that the Mavic pro did Just as good as the mavic Air 2 in any direction and in some directions it did better..
Very disappointed knowing that DJI has been bragging that the second generation of ocusync 2.0 and is the best signal transmission they have to offer of any drone.
BUT IT ISN'T!!! Yes it's clear when it works. But in terms of dropping the signal the mavic pro was just as good. The mavic pro backed up everything DJ I said about it..
Not with the mavic Air 2 in terms of losing signal..
;)
The original mavic pro was a game changer. I still have mine. Maybe a video showcasing its signal vs the air to show others how well it hold up.
I do like some other features on the new air over my original pro and air.
I also like some features on my air 1 more and my zoom.
My evo I am not a fan of. I need to sell it. Did you use ebay?
Thanks for the props on the channel and welcome. I appreciate when people take the time to comment and help grow the community.
impressive... I think I'd be shaking with a drone that far away...
i was a bit nervous when the battery started beeping. lol
you kept your cool like the leader you are... I couldnt believe you flew out 11,000 feet YIKES
Nice shots, but mislabeled as range test when you don’t go full range... It’s like you got distracted by the view. As for the battery level, yes it could be better, but not that critical when you can see clearly how much time you have AND you can just tap it once to see a large view of it if really curious. Not worth focusing on I think.
range test really are just to show the connection signal and if it's solid.
this video nails that and has gorgeous views for us! :)
nope, not mislabeled at all but thanks for the comment.
yeah, the battery losing the slider is a HUGE deal for most who have been flying DJI products. trust me, it's not just me. ;)
I have been complaining about not being able to see that battery percentage since the mini came out. I have emailed DJI about it, but it hasn't done any good. White on white who can see that!
I know its not as convenient but if you touch the battery icon on the top of the screen, remaining flight time and battery remaining shows up and stays. Just thought you may want to know because you didn't show it.
@@gerard8020 ok maybe they changed it, it use to only show battery temperature and time flown, thanks
i agree, they need to bring the slider from the go4 app over to the fly app. that makes for knowing 100% where you are at a glance perfect!
I liked your review. However, you keep praising the controller so much Sean, i hope you realized they removed the physical PAUSE fail-safe button ? That was your only lifesaver if the drone started heading for a tree or wall during autonomous intelligent modes. Its the only thing that stopped the drone dead in its tracks and made it stand still and hover. It has been a life saver on so many occasions for me. Hitting a stop button on the APP is not a comeback id accept, bec many a time the APP just shuts down and reboots while the drone is mid flight. A few reviews are popping up with the AIR 2 having mid flight app crashes and reboots, full screen blackouts. That too the app makes the whole phone go black, not just the app crashing where you can quickly restart it.
Its combined into the return to home button. A quick double tap and it stops dead in its tracks. Ill male sure to show that in an upcoming video.
@@SeanOzz > Hi Sean, You mean the physical RTH button should be double pressed ? Bec when you say TAP i hope your not referring to tapping on the app screen ? Thats a very important and hidden feature and it would be very valuable to show it in your future video.
The rth on the controller. A double tap is the pause button.
Going on about the battery level on the screen. Just click the battery symbol and it tells you everything in clear bright green.
Nope. Sorta but not really. Guess you didn't see my other video showing the difference side by side. Lol
But thanks for coming in thinking you know all about it. Gotta love that. ;)
I pushed my ma1 to 13.5k feet away, but I want more distance so guess what I'm about to do.
Damn man. Thats amazing.
You might not get much more than that even.
I gotta have one 😁✌✌👍
the new controller is very nice.
This review feels a bit biased tho, you clearly like the Mavic Air one more than the 2.
The design of the air I like
Is it has the features of the newer ones it would be dope.
It’s a WiFi signal so isn’t so great.
Just tap the battery icon to get a better view of the battery status. Great video!
Sadly that doesn't pull up an easy to view slider or any details that help mid flight at a glance. Hopefully this will be corrected in an update.
I have dji mavic air, and i dont like the distance it can maintain :(
Its a wifi connection. It like all wifi drones is a shorter signal. 1000ft is pretty common, some get 2000-4000 with the air which is great for wifi.
Occusync is a stronger better connection though.
It's almost 12km away!😱Wow,.us dji drone is fcc. Not at Malaysia. Dji drone at Malaysia CE. I must modified hardware🤔😄
❓
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU DID THE MAVIC 2 PRO VS. MAVIC AIR 2!!
Rememberthe DJI was bragging about the upgraded second-generation ocusync 2.0. it supposed to have less interference and go 6.2 mi unobstructed or 10km
this is more competition with the mavic 2 pro than the mavic air considering the upgrades and how many things it does better than the mavic 2 pro..
They claim it's the best transmission system they ever had along with the longest flight time SO LET'S SEE.
I HAVEN'T HAD VERY GOOD LUCK WITH THE MAVIC AIR 2 COMPARED TO MY MAVIC PRO FLYING IN THE SAME DIRECTIONS IN MY HIGHLY CONGESTED AREA.. THE MAVIC AIR TO DID DOUGH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL MAVIC PRO AND MAYBE EVEN WORSE IN SOME SITUATIONS..
I feel that their flight time, and ocusync 2.0 on the mavic Air 2 is false advertising.
I'll be doing the zoom vs the air 2 since the air 2 is missing all the features that make it an air. Its technically a zoom light so those test will come.
It takes time to make videos though. ;)
@@SeanOzz
Yes that would be great doing the mavic 2 zoom which is obviously the same transmission as the mavic 2 pro vs. The mavic Air 2
Let's see if DJI IS A BUNCH OF FRAUDS STATING THE MAVIC AIR 2 HAS THE BEST TRANSMISSION OF ANY DRONE TO DATE!! 2ND GENERATION OF OCUSYNC 2.0
Give me some time and I'll do it from this same spot so its comparable.
@@SeanOzz THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT :-) THANK YOU SO MUCH
I might bust out the original mavic pro also and test those two as well.
dope
Thanks
The mavic air 2 is a superior drone. However, I bought the original Air used. The Air 2 used price is double that of the original, here in the UK. Is it twice the drone. Anyone got experience of both, please comment.
Yes. I have tons of experience with both and many videos of both. What questions do u have?
Where I live I seem to suffer from lots of interference. Power lines, large metal structures and WiFi. Even military transmitters. I try to stay away from these, but they can be an issue re WiFi signal. I appreciate your video, but you seem to be away from all interference where you are. How does the ocusync compare with WiFi in areas where there are lots of signals and WiFi interference. Have you done a video under more challenging circumstances?
Occusynch is always much better than wifi.
My mavic mini has way better transmission then my mavic air one. But my mavic air 2 has what seems like endless tramision. It flys way better then my evo 2. Mavic 2 pro or zoom is still the king. By the way i live in dillion for years. Right on that lake too. Would dream of having the money and the solid women to live up there again.
interesting, the mini is wifi also but i hear that it does have a great wifi signal. I have an evo one and i am not a huge fan of it's flight characteristics. the two is similar. I dream of one day being able to buy a house up here myself.
I had spark,sold it because of poor battery backup. Air 2 looks like a good option,but unfortunately spent all my money. F***
air 2 will be a super nice upgrade from the spark when you can.
