I still prefer my MAVIC Pro. This MAVARK is a nuisance...
Toms tech time 1 question: I have the spark and phantom 3. Do you think the Mavic air would be a good upgrade from the spark or phantom 3?
What were the SD card recommendations you had?
Are ND filters designed for Mavic Pro also compatible with Mavic Air?
@Marshall Wait for the Mavic Pro II coming this summer. Getting the P4P camera onto the Mavic will be the next huge step.
It's like the Mavic Pro and the Spark had a baby!
Ivan Snz such a quick reply I know
Sparvic or Mavark??
Spanky?
Great drone, great video but i still love my Mavic Pro!!
jeffrey Jackman
I’m thinking the Mavic II will include all of these advancements and a few more to boot, I too am happy with the Mavic, it’s still an awesome machine. It’d be nice to have the asteroid and boomerang video options though.
jeffrey Jackman i have the platinum mine is better lol
This has all the same stuff the mavic pro does only smaller and the camera can go upwards
A.J. Williams
The Mavic camera can also go up.
I like the new avoidance features
Tom I love your reviews. Well done, but please mention the reality that the DJI Go app is voted one of the worst apps in either play store. If you can't rely on the app that controls your drone, then you become liable and dangerous. DJI has also earned the reputation as having the worst customer service in the industry. Please talk about the thousands of complaints on their own forum before they get deleted. We need reviewers to step up to the plate and be real when it comes to customer service as it relates to this horrible company. DJI has great drones but their app is a joke. Be sure to mention all the facts.
John Dough - the Mavic Air UAS doesn't use the DJI GO app. It uses the DJI GO 4 app, just like the Mavic Pro, et al. The app is truly feature-rich and its complexity irritates a lot of new users - especially folks who hate to read, or do homework. Users complain about frequent updates and bugs. Apparently, some just don't understand their operating environment (NAS). Manned aircraft aviation apps are also subject to frequent updates and require more upkeep than run of the mill apps - just ask any pilot who uses Jepp or Foreflight apps. Being a responsible pilot requires a little effort. I can't speak to DJI's customer service - I rarely use anyone's customer service anymore. But I use their app every time I fly my Mavic Pro. Like anything complicated, it takes work to master. Patience and practice are required, yet many of the folks who review complex apps have neither. How many times have you read reviews by people who just downloaded the app that day? User reviews have one fatal flaw - they're written by users. Of all skill levels and temperaments. I don't know what you mean when you say "...can't rely on the app that controls your drone..." Can't rely on it in what way? As a Part 107 Remote Pilot, flying a Mavic Pro within FAA legal constraints on commercial assignments, I have NEVER had an app related issue during flight ops. I have had some stupid pilot moments though. The app cannot possibly be perfect - but it functions more reliably than the pilot on most occasions. So, while it appears to be a FACT that the app rating is low, it is by no means a fact that the software is bad. Or that it's worse than others. Or that it represents an independent risk. Or anything else of scientific or factual value, for that matter. So, if I were Tom, I would continue to mention the pertinent facts without regard to opinions, such as user ratings.
Central-Virginia Photography-Services, LLC Sorry yes it uses the only app DJI Go 4 app. One of the worst apps on any app store because it crashes while you're in midair. You crash your drone then DJI blames you. It's an amazing business model. It's not hard to use, just horribly coded by a company who refuses to fix it. Go read their forums and the reviews. Thousands of pissed off customers.
John Dough I couldn't agree more with app crashes from the Go 4 app. I now use Litchi which does have its own cons but has not once left my Mavic Pro in the air without being able to see what's in front of my drone. As for the Go 4 app I absolutely hate it when I'm flying just barely in my field of view and my video feed freezes or just gives me a green screen and I have to hit the return to home just to land and restart everything to get back in the air.
Great video Tom. Missed you in New York!
None of the early reviewers have properly compared the Intelligent Flight modes with the Mavic Pro. The Mavic Air does not have Course Lock, POI, Home Lock, or Fixed Wing mode. Course Lock and POI are absolute essentials for many of the Cinematic shots I like to use. I also haven't seen any evidence that the Active Track feature on Mavic Air includes the Profile and Spotlight modes of the Mavic Pro (we've only seen Trace mode). Profile is the most important tracking mode for most movie scenes using Active Track.
I guess keeping quite on certain details was a condition of being an early reviewer. To ensure we remain in the dark until after the initial launch sales, DJI still haven't released the manual download for Mavic Air.
You sure it doesnt have POI? And Fixed wing?
is it me or does the video footage look a little jittery ??
Yes it does look jittery. I was about to put in my order but need to see some footage that looks usable first.
what part?
I think all the footage looks jittery as it's recorded in 25P and ND-filters have not been released yet, so you can't get the right shutter-speed.
I see the jitter pretty much on every drone if the dude flying it haven't bought ND-filters to get the right amount of motion blur :)
Kind Regards
Jørgen
Low FPS that's why
Thanks for the review and for all the details. Can I recharge the batteries using a power bank? What kind of port it has. As it has just 21 mins of flight mode, I want to know if it can be charged when I travel where I will have just a power bank with no power supply for a week during my Himalayan trekking. I will definitely carry more batteries.
So I saw on some videos that the mavic air is more agile and faster because it is capable of leaning more aggressively which makes it faster/more agile. Do you think this makes it better in the wind even though it's lighter than the mavic? I'm interested to see the relationship between the aggressiveness of tilt vs weight of the drone in windy conditions
All of these cool modes like boomerang are all selfie modes? What if you would like to get these sweeping shots with something else as the focal point? Can you choose the focal point to fly those intelligent flight modes? Also, did the props get in the shop flying sport mode? And will it finally hold a phone that is in a protective case???
AV8R Tom I can only answer you question about if the controller holds now bigger phones/phones with cases and yes they made the slot a lot bigger so it should fit your phone + case
How are flight restrictions in Israel? You were commenting once about wanting to move to U.S., but I hear Switzerland is drone friendly.
Amazing that you got it so fast. thank you for that!
I'm sorry to making so much noise :-( but your links to the Mavic Air footage.... link 1 doesn't go to the file it goes to the DJI website :( the other files I can't download because they've been downloaded too many times ... thanks to google! (try another distribution channel?)
Ditto, hallelujah, etc., et al, yeah.........
Hello Tom, could you do a flight test with the new Autel Robotics EVO, it seems to be a really nice drone besides the DJI drones. Thank you.
Im just gonna wait for the mavic 2.0.
Jan Michael Reyes bet It has Enhanced Wi-Fi also because of all the tight Regulations but hopefully it does have a 1" Sensor.
Does Mavic Air has Follow Me Mode (Not Active Track) and Way Points Mode?
Afaik no follow me and waypoints im not sure.
Du machst wirklich die besten Videos was Drohnen angeht, man hört dir gern zu und es ist alles drin ohne überflüssige Infos 👍🏻 mach so weiter..
Side and Top obstacle avoidance is missing, and 4K 60fps :)
Thank god it not the new phantom 5 drone , I would definitely be upset😪
what would you do? i have the mavic pro but i'm considering to sell it because drones under 500grams (like the mavic air) do not have any flight restrictions in switzerland (which are pretty hard). it's perfectly clear that i wouldn't fly next to an airport, but in switzerland the no-fly zones are in a 10km radius around airports which leave out almost no space to fly
Thanks for your help
Tom, when I go to your site to download the raw footage, I get Rickrolled to the DJI site for purchases on the first link. On the second link there is an error that too many people have downloaded this file.
exactly
Great review video Tom! I've placed my order for the Flame Red on DJI's presentation day in New York. Can't wait to get it!
Great review and awesome footage.Just wondering the return to home feature , returns to last point of take off, not bank to controller, or do you have that option? Would be nice when filming from a boat...could be especially bad if battery runs low and it returns to home , but home is no longer there due to boat moved..
What opinion do you have regarding the delay of the video on the phone? Could you fly it away with a good video signal? Greetings from the Canary Islands
Please get rid of the "YOU FIND ALL PRODUCT LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION" overlay. It ruines the footage
you're funny....you think he's gonna throw away his bread and butter?
agree with daan. how about smaller font than the tom's tech in the top left and no white background? then it won't keep dragging your eyes to it.
agree 100% . . . less is more
he's throwing away customers by annoying them
Excellent review as always, very accurate. Could you please precise for european friends what's the range gonna be? Thanks!
Great job and very detailed. Thank You
Hey Tom, great videos. I have just found your channel after buying a mavic air. Not my first camera drone but its an awesome package. Keep on bringing thte awesome content
Yes I recently crashed an i2 reversing to reveal a shot, so I concur with you, reversing sensors are very important. There has been a sneak peek of a rear sensor module for the i2, hope you can do a video on this. Regards Tony of Australia
Super comprehensive and professionally done review. This must have taken ages to put together. Well done.
Cant download you files because too many people are downloasing it
Dude, overkill review. Awesome work.
Hi what settings do I have to do to get the drone hovering like you do at home please I’m worried I will take of and it will hit roof thanks
I'm buying my first drone for my birthday present...It will be a DJI Mavic Air...You can't go wrong with this one....Great review … Guess I have to do some FAA stuff in the US (I apologize for our President) but The government here requires us to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration….I'm curious what your flying heights are? They are saying 400 feet here in the US
Is the Mavic Air able to take Photos in Portrait format, by changing the Gimbal just like the Mavic Pro is?
With all the safety on mavic air. Yet people still doing stupid things, crashing and losing them.
Here a few advices, if u dont know how to fly, dont get an expensive quad, start off small. Unless you have a coach who KNOWs how to pilot.
Maintenance before you fly. (Check your quad out b4 flying)
Check your surrounding like NFZ no fly zone.
Anyways just keep out of trouble, your making us pilots look bad. FPV racers i have no complaints. Haha. Im one of the racers.
Do you mind sharing how you did that opening shot with the 3d camera? Mount on drone?
I called them today and I told them that my controller does not connect to the Mavic Air (after I tried almost everything). It took them incredible 1.5 hours on the phone to finally come up with the answer - Yea our app sucks and it doesn't work with your latest IOS. I was like ... You gotta be kidding me right??? I spend a thousand dollars and I can't fly???? Well, he said - downgrade your phone or no, you can't fly. I am leaving for a week long trip and my new drone does not fly because DJI is not able to fix their app??? This is ridiculous!!! I am rarely pissed but this time I would love to type this text with my fists instead with my fingers.
Great Video Tom! Very thorough and informative. Thanks!
Hello Tom and thanks for all good work trying educated and help other flyers. I have question. Say, you’re standing on steep cliff high 70m above the sea, your Mavic Air is in distance over the sea, RTH is set at 50metres and for some reason craft is auto returning to home point at those 50metres. How it will react when approaching wall of the cliff which is higher than 50m? Will craft stop front of it and hover there ? I assuming that RTH height must be set ahead in this scenario to the highest point just to avoid this situation? What about flying in hilly areas, will RTH set height always adjusting to terrain?
Thank for helping me in those situations since my experience is at very “ beginner “ area.
Karel

Absolutely amazing review! I’m sold on this drone!
hello.
i have 2 questions about the diffrents options filming (dronies, circle around, etc...):
1) how the mavic do to get target in center? use the gps in TX? or just target "silhouette" , like tracking?
2) when doing dronies circle and other option filming, if there is obstacle, did the drone only stop, or get aroud obstacle and continue the dronie and other asking filming?
thank you.
None of your linked footage is possible to download. The download websites where the files are stored download strange.exe installation or flash files, cry to install plugins on chrome. May I suggest you upload the footage through dropbox or wetransfer or something.
Hi I'm Jae hyuk choi.I live in Seoul Korea.Which is I live in Anseong right now. So I have mevic air White one and take filliming the School scenery.
One comment to the noise frequency. I think the frequency is higher therefore the Air sounds louder than Mavic although the dB level meter shows it different. But maybe the propeller will be designed as low noise in future like Mavic Pro🤞🏽
Nic Video My friend ,i am new comer to this thing,i have some problem my new Mavic Air
when i was video recording ,my Came sharking
pl if u can help me and how to set this problem
Do you have any issues with lens distortion? I aim to take more 'straight-down' 90 degree shots of buildings and wanted them to appear straight!
Tom i have a 32Gb extreme pro sandisk micro sd but my mavic air says slow write card, is there a compatible micro sd card aside from sandisk's extreme pro?
Best review of Mavic Air!!! What is the wind impact on Mavic Air? 430g to 743g Mavic Pro...the question for me is really important because at the North Sea there is every day wind and if the Mavic Air shakes too much the 100MBit/s does not really help...Cheers DrDuu
When I turn on the apas mode, it turns green and then goes to the active track mavic air will follow and automatically avoid obstacles.
can the limit distance in Europe be unlocked ...or if I buy the drone from the usa would this make it able to go 4 km ..or wouldd it still be limited ???
i bought one of these and torn it apart. i kept the internal components but scaled up the external components to support a human pilot. then i flew as high as a human can fly. i am typing this from the dome that covers the flat earth. can someone please send up another drone to get me down? one of my props is stuck in the dome
This content is so professional it is like from a world class organisation
One thing that worries me is that it being smaller, will be more affected by the wind compared to Mavic Pro, could you compare it?
Just relax....stop worrying....ENJOY life!!!
For flight, it is probably not as much of an issue of simply size as it is aerodynamics - the air is smaller so less surface area for wind to blow on and its also quite aerodynamic.
For stability on one spot, power to mass ratio - if there is enough power in those engines combined with the proper propellor design to keep the tiny mass of the drone stable; add to that the vision sensors.
Besides the above to its got a darn 3 axis stabilized camera!
But I would love to see stability comparison with actual footage.
Yes, the mavic pro is more stable in the air, especially in windy situations. Check out the review of Tony Northrup.
how can your map look like circle? by default my map setting does not look like you. i have hard time to fly i dont know which one is head and tail
Me lo voy a comprar, esta asombroso
It seems like your lav mic picks up a lot of noise from the drone when you were presenting. Was this intentional?
Frequency for mavicair after 200 meters lost .... Help please
hello, under mavic air there are 2 sensors. does both sensors light up for you or just one ?
0:26 Tel Aviv!!! My beautiful country Israel
Yes, beautiful. Pity it is stolen land, though.
both sd card links are "not found"
thanks you for this Tom
An interesting aircraft, but not an upgrade from the Mavic Pro...
Although they claim 4K at a maximum of 100mbs bit rate, it's not true 4K (4096x2160, which the Mavic Pro has), but only UHD (3840X2160).
Less flight time, less range and less height - 5000m *above sea level*, compared to 5000m above your take off point on the Mavic Pro. If you fly from a mountain, you may not even be able to take off with the Mavic Air if you're above 16,404 ft, lol.
Forwards and backward collision avoidance cameras are great, but no side collision avoidance.
Still a tiny camera sensor, no aperture control.
No OccuSync, just Enhanced WiFi for the video downlink, which is a deal breaker for some.
Video latency up to 250ms.
My conclusion: A great step up from the Spark, but not a step up from the Mavic Pro, and quite a disappointment for those of us who are looking for a video platform with more modern technology than the Phantom 4.
harry camper What a silly comment! Mavic owners have been looking forward to a Mavic Pro 2, or a Phantom 5 (one or both of which will almost certainly come). Instead, DJI gave us a Spark 2. You May be right, that the Mavic Pro is about to be made obsolete, but not by the Mavic Air. Those of us who want DJI to continue with OccuSync, rather than interference-prone wifi, and continue with longer-range capable aircraft, and larger sensors on the cameras, with their adjustable apertures will certainly buy them when they are available. Mavic Pro owners are unlikely to buy the Air.
harry camper You're too excited, you keep missing the point. Take a breath and read what I said. Mavic Pro owners were looking for DJI to produce something better than the Air. They wanted a platform like the Mavic Pro, but with a better camera, larger sensor, adjustable aperture, OccuSync, similar range, and longer flight time. They got none of that. Eventually, DJI will produce one. There's is not much in the Air to draw Mavic Pro owners to the Air. I'm sure the Air will be a great buy for people who want what it offers. For those waiting for a true upgrade to the Mavic Pro, we'll just have to wait.
By the way, you're still stuck with DJI Go 4 with the Air, and if you land at 30% battery, you'll still be doing this with the Air, so your flight times will be more like 12 minutes.
By Phantom 5/Mavic Pro 2, we're really talking of the same aircraft... Ideally, Mavic-style body, with Phantom-like camera.
Casey Neistat has a video quality comparison online already, comparing the Air, MP and Phantom footage. Spoiler: the Phantom still wins. That's important for people who want/need a better camera on an airborne platform. Some of us are willing to wait for that quality.
The rumors were always saying there would be a drone slotted between the Spark and MP and then later a true successor to the MP. The first part was true and I have no doubt DJI will want to produce a true Mavic2 to battle the new Autel Evo. Yet, all these insecure Mavic owners are screaming that the air shouldn't be called a "Mavic", but a Spark Pro. How infantile. What made the Mavic concept so interesting was a small portable folding drone that was easy to fly and had 4K video from a stabilized 3 axis gimbal. Um, that describes the Air, not the Spark. Let's be honest, DJI consumer drones are mainly aimed at the AP crowd and in that realm the Air beats the MP. Besides a slightly better camera, it's objectively cheaper, smaller, faster, better object avoidance, better-protected gimbal, supposedly fights winds better, and the only main con is lack of endurance/long-range fpv. (which is technically illegal anyways) I like exploring far out so for me I'll keep my Mavic Pro, but for most, the Air is clearly a better value. The Air was never aimed at existing Mavic owners - but it will cannibalize new MP and especially Spark sales. We should all be happy the tech is getting smaller, better, cheaper - instead of sounding like Karma buyers screaming - but I have a removable gimbal!
Phrancis5 Yep, I agree. Good post. Which is why I thought the first reply to my original post was silly.
Do you wear lipstick, or are your lips just naturally that fantastic?
I tried downloading the files from your site because I just ordered my mavic air and I was curious to try editing them on my iPad Pro. But I kept getting an error that said iOS didn’t recognize the file. It looked like an mp4 file and I’ve had no trouble editing them before. So I don’t know what happened
I want to buy one what store can I go into to purchase one and how much do they cost
Can you fly dji mavicair with mavicpro controller ?
Regijus Simkevicius has
Can anyone explain me why it's cheaper than Mavic Pro?
Excellent thorough review. Best review online. Thank you!
The rear facing obstacle avoidance, I find with my Mavic, flying towards the sun can stop my drone moving, flying backwards fixes this. Not so with the Mavic Air, you’d have to use sport mode or fly sideways.
Can just the rear sensors be turned off while leaving the front sensors active?
HI Tom, Will the controller hold an Iphone 7 Plus?
Thank you! Awesome review! What is the image quality compared to Mavic Pro? With what container do you get the best image quality: .mov, .mpeg4, h264, mp4?
Time to upgrade from my paper kite to a dji.
😂😂😂
This MAVARK is not a MAVIC 2.... Unfortunately... I still love my MAVIC Pro
Nice review as always Tom~
Do you know if I can do mapping with the Mavic Air?
Does anyone know?
I assume yes but I haven't gotten any information anywhere.
Thanks in advance~
Thanks man
Excellent video. One question. With what software are you editing the videos that you upload? I like the Facebook pop ups
Hallo zusammen, weiss jemand warum die Mavic Air bei 120 Meter Höhe automatisch stoppt? Und wie kann man die Höhe erhöhen?
Danke
No one click portrait mode which mavic pro has it.
Everyone like you 2 years ago boasts about the mavic Air. Now we have the Air 2 but of course the cost for me Is outta my league. What is your recommendation now about just the Mavic Air, is it still as good ?
The Mavic Air is an excellent drone. The Air 2 has a few new features and longer battery life. The propellers now are much more silent than before. The extra stuff on the Air 2 may not be worth the extra price if you are on a budget. You will be very happy with the Mavic Air. I have one and so far I have not upgraded.
I have a mavic mini why am I watching this :(
WOW what a great review, you are the best my friend, thank you! One Q: did you hear any releasing dates for Phantom X (or 5)? Thank you and keep up good work!
Wow, I want to know how you guys get these so early XD it looks like the spark and Mavic had a baby just saying.
Thanks, fantastic video. But... The background, which was panning horizontally in the Circling, Helix, and Boomerang mode, looked "jumpy" and not smooth. Is this a compression artifact with TH-cam or the result of jerked turning by the drone while filming? Thanks!
The Air was not intended to be better than the Mavic Pro and it isn't. It blends features of the Spark with features of the Mavic and sits neatly between the two in term of both price and capability. Yes, range is really important! Yes, battery life is really important! I've been flying drones professionally for a really, really long time and I can't imagine anyone with any experience thinking otherwise. I have photographed so many amazing things that I could not get close enough to until the Mavic came out. It was awesome being able to fly to remote places I had found on Google Earth. Range/battery life is huge! The camera is also still better with the Mavic Pro (not much). But this is exactly what DJI intended with the price point, so why are people so concerned about which is better? It goes: Spark, Air, Mavic Pro respectively in terms of both price and capability. When someone introduces a long-range portable drone with a large sensor, THAT will be the real deal!
Very helpful Tim, I have a couple of questions, I'm looking at getting the new Mavic Air that was just released. My main use for the drone will be for our atv outings. If i'm by myself and want to film from about, would the follow me mode be preferred or the active tracking mode ? It seems like the active track mode would work best as in your video here.
Does my phone or ipad have to have cellular service ? Also I see you are using a Samsung phone, I have an older Samsung Galaxy 4. I've heard that Apple products work better with the DJI stuff and that there has been glitches when using the Samsung, do you have any feedback ?
Show less
Rear sensors! Best addition yet!
Tom thanks for your videos.
Question: I have no drone. I was about to buy Mavic Pro Pltnm 2 weeks ago when I read about DJI's new release. Now I've watched the videos I don't care about flying aspects, or intelligent modes, in fact I love them and I also love portability but, I've read M. Air has a fixed focus camera, neither Autofocus, nor manual focus (while M. Pro has). Is it like that? I haven't notice blurred images in your videos (even the one inside the car is sharp!!!!).
What about not abling you recording D-Log files?
Even so, is M. Air preferible to M. Pro? Any advantage (besides battery and range which I won't use so far) buying the "bigger" one?
Thank you in advance.
i see DJI had the Air priced at 799 dollars on the release notes so i converted it to euro's (643,99) and im like cool ill order it tomorrow. Then every link im looking at now is saying 800 euro's. FUCKERS! yeah ok price the Air to shift the remaining Mavic Pro units then the Air price should fall. Annoying though as i want an Air and will have to wait now.
Hi and congratulations for the great review for this drone!!!! I am about to buy one of this and since it will be my first drone and I have zero experience with this kind of thing, I would like you to tell me your recommendation for the best micros card to use with it. The largest capacity and the fastest recording rate because I will be using 4k videos only and no photos. Thanks for your time and you got a new subscriber from Brazil!!!!!
For the Mavic Air:
-Clicking the "Video Sample 1", link brings me to the DJI site to purchase a Mavic Pro Platinum.
-Clicking the "Video Sample 2", link doesn't work any more.
Video Sample 2 and 3 still work though. Thank you for sharing video sample files. I really appreciate that! I'm grateful. Thank you.
So, most people would agree this takes better footage and performs better than the Mavic Pro ??
Very helpful video. Just one thing popped up. Can we use our DJI Spark compatible ipad holders or shall we buy a new one compatible with Mavic Air. Another thing is, as far as I can see the iphone plug is now attached to two extendable arms of the RC. So how will the ipad holder will fit into these arms. Many thanks in advance for the responses...
I cannot put in my thoughts on what is better because the Air will be my first drone ever but for me the Mavic Air has everything I am looking for in a drone at a price I am somewhat comfortable with. Will this be the end all for drones...def not because everything has pros and cons. If I owned a Pro right now I would probably just wait for a Mavic Pro 2 or the Autel Robotics Evo, but the Air has everything I need. We are human beings and will never be happy with anything...If someone gives us 1 million dollars we will complain on why it's not 2 million. I am excited to get my Mavic Air and can't wait to see the Autel Evo and the Mavic Pro 2.
Great job Tom. Your channel is where I first go for drone related stuff. Keep up the good work man.
Hi Tom, I love your videos and have been watching your channel for a while now. I just wanted to mention that I recently bought a Mavic Air and I must say I was disappointed and will be returning it. I already own a Mavic Pro and the 3 things that’s struck me right away when I started to fly it are: [1] It is obnoxiously louder than the Mavic Pro. [2] I miss the wheel on the right side of the Mavic Pro controller that allows you to adjust exposure on the fly. If your video is starting to get overexposed you have to dig through the menu system to adjust it. I don’t think this is good design . [3] So far I haven’t been able to get video that looks as good as the video from my Mavic Pro.. Just my humble opinion! :-)
I love the video I miss u no I don’t she is so cute
Hi Tom,
Do you know if the Mavic Pro's filters are compatible with Mavic Air? If not, do you have any suggestion?
Thank you in advance for your answer!
still waiting for my mavic pro 2..............20 min runtime is a joke
Why didnt they just call it the Spark Air?
