Hello, I know you probably wont come across my comment, but just in case you do, can you talk about the 2.4 and 5.8 ghz? and also what you think is best to use to get better stronger signal. thank you.
I know that there are "landing pads" that you can get for drones. I personally suggest not getting those. If you're a photographer or filmmaker, chances are you have a 2in1 or a 5in1 reflector lying around (and if you don't you should get one). Use that (it's basically the same as the "landing pads" from the official site, but with other uses when you are filming with your camera). I carry one with me whenever I take my camera somewhere, so why not use it to land the drone? That's just my philosophy... Tall Grass be gone.
I've owned the Spark for 3 months and absolutely love it. The only negative and not major is flight time. With the Mavic Air (combo) currently selling for $160 below normal retail cost, I'm extremely close to upgrading. I hope it's not significantly noisier than the Spark. Awesome review by the way, thank you.
Paul, The Mavic Air is an amazing upgrade to the Spark and I've been flying 2 of them for over a year and love them. It flies longer and farther than the Spark and is just a dream in the air. I am uploading a clip today talking about the DJI Summer sale and have 15 coupons I'll be giving away Next week to save you another 5% off the sale price. Look for that clip to upload today and enter the contest for the chance to win one of these. It'll be a short contest and I'll pick the winners in 48 hours. If you do decide to pull the trigger before then, please use this link to help support the channel - tinyurl.com/y4gx8ccl. Thanks, Rick
Stumbled onto your site and am impressed with your review. Not even sure why I watched the entire thing, I don't own a drone, but have to commend you on the in depth and obviously well researched presentation. I almost wish I owned a drone now.
I agree that it's hard to get the card out but I a) press the card to eject and b) use a dedicated pair of plastic tweezers to remove the card. It works every time. I love my Mavic Air.
As someone who stutters and stops a lot and needs a detailed script for narrating videos, an under-appreciated aspect of this video is this guy's lack of cuts. Very succinct, confident speaker.
Great video! Re: getting the SD card out, for my Raspberry Pi card I attached a piece of scotch tape and folded it over itself so that it attached to both sides of the outer half of the card. That way, there's always a little piece of tape to grab and pull it out. Might help for this situation as well.
John, thanks for the post and that's a great idea. I'll try that tomorrow and I'm sure it will help getting that little rascal out of the quad. Stay tuned, I have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
I recently purchased the Mavic Air. Seen a lot of reviews saying it is really hard to get the SD card out. I don’t know if everyone already noticed, but it is spring loaded. So if you push it in more it pops out. For me it has not caused any issues so far. But I do agree using the cable is way easier and faster. Thanks for a great review :)
Memory cad goes in with gold contacts up. Spring loaded when seated properly. Use a small piece of tape on the memory card so you can pull the memory card out after releasing it.
I love the tips like don't take card out over grass etc. If there is a stupid mistake to make I will make it. I'll also say as someone that just bought the Air it is good to see an engineer excited about it. Oops one more comment- probably the best TH-cam instruction I've seen on any topic.
Hope you enjoy it! That Mavic Air is an amazing quad and I'm still flying mine today. Even though there have been a lot of newer drones released since that quad came out, it still provides everything you need for a great day of flying and filming. Stay tuned for more content this weekend.
One of the best if not the best review, thank you Rick! I bought the Mavic AIr and I didn't like your review because I wanted to justify my purchase. I bought the Mavic Air because it suits my needs. I am not worried about not having Ocusync because one of the rules in my country of flying a drone is you must only fly during the day and keep your drone within visual line-of sight..Plus the extra sensors that the Mavic Air has. I love the Mavic Air. Thanks again!
Hi Rick from BBC on Long Island buddy! I must tell you that 6 yrs ago I had a bad car accident and suddenly after working 34 yrs I was fighting for my life being totally paralyzed ! After a lot of work and at 53yrs old at the time I was able to walk out of the nursing home. Ok now I am forced retirement and can't do too much physically so I was told to get a , " Hobby " , now that's where you came in to my picture of life! After watching all of the drone video's out there , your video's are the most informative and for obvious reasons, you are my favorite and helped me with my new hobby..........I just wanted to thank you and just remind you how popular you are Rick !!! Almost Rock Star Status ! PS I own a pro 4 + I will be buying a second drone(maverick pro) ..I just don't know which one zoom? Anyway please hook me up where to buy it and suggestions about the monitor......because I love my pro4+ because I liked just pulling out the controller and bam your all set to fly instead of playing with wires setting up a phone or tablet!!! Help me out Rick ? What tablet should i buy for my new Maverick??? Thanks Rick , your my guy buddy!
Just got the onyx black and use a 64gb card in it. No issues so far! I love the thing! Flies excellent in wind (especially with sport mode enabled) and I haven't lost range or anything yet! Very pleased with my purchase
Rick ... I'm a big fan of the CrystalSky Monitor and wanted to share with you how to overcome the connection problems with the CrystalSky and the Mavic Air. I find that if I follow this procedure I never have a problem: 1st flight of the day: Step 1: Power up Crystal Sky (no cables connected) Step 2: Power up Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air (don't move on until you have established a connection between Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air) Step 3: Connect your cable to the Mavic Air Controller Step 4: Connect the other end of your cable to your CrystalSky Subsequent Flights (at the end of the first flight, do not totally power down CrystalSky and don't disconnect any cables): Step 1: Wake up CrystalSky (no need to disconnect any cables prior to this step) Step 2: Power up Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air I followed these procedures and 100% of the time I had a consistent connection. One other problem with using the CrystalSky on the Mavic Air, it will not work with DJI Mavic Mount that they sell for the Mavic. The Jaws that hold the piece that mates up to the CrystalSky mount are different dimensions then that on the Mavic Air. I wound up going with a third party mount that holds my CrystalSky Monitor and works real well on the Mavic Air. I just wanted to share this with your community if they wanted to fly the CrystalSky Monitor on the Mavic Air.
When I use my Crystalsky monitor. STEP 1 Turn on drone. STEP 2 Turn on RC. STEP 3 Connect the monitor to the RC by using the USB port on the side of the RC and to either USB port on the side of the monitor depending on what cable you have. I DON'T USE THE PORT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RC OR MONITOR. STEP 4 The monitor turns on automatically most times. If it doesn't turn monitor on. Then wait till it loads and hit the FLY GO. Damn nuisance not be able to use the mount I got for the SPARK
Just bought my Mavic Air today and just watched your video!!! Thank you for making me feel comfortable about spending $600 and EXCITED to get mine in the air in the morning!!!!!
Steven, I'm glad you enjoyed the clip and I hope you have a lot of fun with the new quad. Take it slow and you'll be a pro in no time. Stop back soon as I have more clips posting this week. Rick
Bought my Mavic Air around 14 days ago, enjoyed your review of the Mavic Air Thanks. It's a pity that today I heard about the Mavic Air 2 I should have waited but did not know it was coming , I'll stick to what I bought for a good while
it was nice watching this, something refreshing about your personality. You have the appearance of an older guy, but sound so energetic smooth and youthful... I am ready to get a mavic air now
I just got the MA. I’m nervous & excited about learning to fly it and learn the special features. It would be nice to see how each flight feature works and understand what is going to happen when I select it. Also the best way to switch between each while on the fly. I hear all the warnings on what can happen on ‘fly-aways’ I’m almost afraid to take it out of beginner mode.
18:11 I wouldn't recommend doing that as condensation you see form on a cold glass of ice water can damage electronics as well as cause other issues to avoid. Seeing this video just reminded me I have an AIO cam on a JJ1000 that went blurry in high humidity in-between cycles of rain I am hoping is moisture and not a lose light sensor from being attacked by a telephone pole that roam around my backyard looking for trouble and ended the flight in wet grass.... just checked it and now it's fine now.... thanks for reminding me;-) Amazing tech being shown...
Rick I enjoyed your review because you are intelligent and analyze things. Most people do superficial tests without putting much thought behind the actual development of a product and why things function certain ways. Keep doing these. Thank you.
I've had my Mavic Air a few months now. The case for the drone fits nicely in the zip bag (that expands) on the front of the carrying bag. It would've been nice to have it inside the main compartment somewhere, but it does fit perfectly in the front bag on the carry case.
In the mavic case bottom. You ll notice a sleeve. Which you can extend and fit In the remote controller once you remove the joysticks. That way you will be able to fit both the quad and the remote in ine single package.
I’m new to drones. Like a true idiot I wasn’t expecting it to be so technical. My train of thought was I could really use it for aerial views when I’m sprinting on the track. It took me 4 days to learn how to turn the damn thing on. So I’ve since put it away to first learn what to do before flying. Thankful for these videos. Great Job Rick thanks for the insight.
Mate, I have been watching a lot of videos the last few days since getting my first drone, the Mavic Air. Your presentation is by far the best I have seen to date. Thankyou and well done :D
On the USB cards, use a small piece of tape on the end bottom side of the card to make a tab, use thin tape, this creates a small tab to pull on to pull the card out. Like they do with some batteries. If you use red tape, if you drop it, it is easy to see where it is. Cheers
Rick the very best in-depth review of the Mavic Air I have seen. Fantastic!!! I have been flying the Mavic Air for the last 2 1/2 weeks and truly love it. Over the weekend I sold my Mavic Pro and P4. Keeping my Spark as a backup. This is how confident I am that the Mavic Air will be my go to drone. If you take any still photos try -2 setting for the sharpness removes any “jaggies” perfect and crisp photos.
Hands down...the best comprehensive review I have ever seen on a drone! The only things I would have added is talking about the sensors (if you did that I completely missed it!) and the fact that if another person is using the DJI googles the pilot cannot have a phone/tablet attached. I know you mentioned the cable port not working with the other plugged in but I would reiterate it. This is a downfall of DJI, but I'm sure they'll eventually fix it. Thanks!
First time Mavic buyer/user. But the review is so excellent due to Rick's knowledge. It helps me understand things I did not learn from other reviews that I had checked. Thanks Rick.
I have the Mavic Pro for a year been traveling with it a lot to many countries, China, Thailand, Bahama, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and etc. I've been contemplating for the Mavic Air due to its portability. After watching countless reviews on Mavic Air, I decided to stay with my Pro, it is not really THAT MUCH of a size difference, at the end you'll still have to put it in a case along with the controller. For those with the Mavic Pro that knows how to stack everything into the DJI bag that comes with it, it is just as big as the Mavic Air that's packed into the case with the controller into the "bag". What really kills it for me is the battery life, many reviews on youtube and friends with Mavic Air states how short the battery life is, it really only last about 15min of flight time with recording. That means by the time I get the Mavic Air all step up with calibrating, proper settings, mode, and the FPS, good 30% of the battery is gone. Then you'll have to test fly the route for the footage you want, by then one battery is down, get the second battery on, fly another 15min (if you do video you don't really record 15min straight, you break it into parts, that use up even more batteries). I'll just wait for the Mavic Pro 2, I just hope it is smaller than the Pro (close to Mavic Air Size), larger sensor, 4k 120fps if possible, side and back obstacle avoidance sensors, hand gesture control, controller grip can be adjusted so you don't have to take off your iphone case, and most important is even more battery life if possible. I spent 1.3k for my Pro Bundle, so if the Mavic Pro 2 can fulfill all that mentioned above, I'll be first to preorder it right after their announcement. Close call on ordering the Mavic Air though, phewwww.
Thanks for the post and I totally agree with you. The Mavic Pro is they perfect quad for travel. I do use the Mavic Air a lot as well but just love the Mavic Pro for all of it's advanced features. Be sure and sub the channel so you don't miss anything new I'll be posting. Thanks, Rick
I find the Mavic Mini is the best for me as I also have a MA 2 but the Mini is the best for construction site videos for quick and easy set and use as they dont like drones running to long because of the crews working below
Thank you for the indepth look at the Mavic Air Rick. Good job In my time with the Mavic Air I found three areas I think that can be improved upon: removal of the SD card (you have to use tweezers), noise level (wish DJI would make quiter props), and the power button on the bottom (odd place to put it). Thanks again !
Love the review Rick. You do such a great job breaking down the technology to a level where those of us not tech knowledgeable can understand it. Keep up the good reviews and looking forward to more in the future. BTW love the way you explained the hidden connection on the battery bank for future firmware updates. I was wonder what that was for. JVO in Michigan.
I didn’t read all of the comments but I have the fly more combo and I can fit everything in the bag they provide. Even my iPad mini. The side pocket expands enough to fit the air and the case with plenty of room to put extra wires etc. i stuff the iPad mini in the slim pocket. It’s a tight fit but without an iPad case it just snuggles right in
I love your videos. You made me decide to buy the Mavic Air. I did want to say about the antenna...mine do lock together at the ends when they fold up. Thought it was neat to keep them from flopping up. Again love the videos. Thanks
Hands down THE BEST review on the web. Thank you!! BTW you have the best set up. Well lit and no clutter as to distract from your review. Amazing. Thank you
Thanks for the post and I hope you really enjoy the Mavic Air, it's an amazing quad and a ton of fun to fly. Be sure to subscribe as I'll have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
Great design review Rick. I'm an engineer as well and when I received my Mavic Air and opened the box, I said Wow! Beautiful and thoughtful design... reminding me of something coming from Apple.
Lamont, I completely agree and DJI has always been great in the presentation of their gear but this latest model really surprised me with the amazing fit and finish. It's a really smart quad that also looks beautiful. Thanks for the post and be sure to subscribe to the channel. Rick
Save your money don't buy a mavic air until you read the reviews on DJI forums regarding the signal issues and video lagging issues and on top of that the terrible flight times and be careful on some of these videos you watch because sometimes they only tell you the positives and not the negatives because some of them are under contract and they get free drones just read the reviews before you buy a mavic air and if you do buy one buy it from Amazon because after you start having these issues you could return it Amazon has a great return policy not like DJI good luck and happy flying
I also feel the Mavic Air is my drone of choice ... my P4P is reserved ONLY for extraordinary situations when I need more flight time or more camera capabilities. I think a subtle, but major, improvement in the Mavic Air is chip speed. The feedback cycle time makes the flight characteristics exceed earlier generation drones. I also think modes like the Cinematic Mode where rate of change in acceleration is controlled as well as position are enabled by the better chip speed. I suspect the major improvements for the new Mavic Pro and the new Phantom will be how they too leverage the much higher chip speed.
To the Wi-Fi: A really, really big point is: In US you are allowed to use FCC mode for the Wifi, in most other countries only CE mode is allowed legally. I think the signal strength is about 5 times stronger with FCC than CE. Just wanted to let you know.
Great, insight! Reaffirmed my decision for buying the Mavic Air. First ever drone - arrives in 2 days and with all the data I’ve absorbed, I feel like I’ve already opened it for weeks.
I also got the Mavic Air for my main drone because of the amount of travel I do. However, mine never flew because I got a bad one and DJI customer service was just awful. After nearly three days of hold time, communications problems and agents who had less knowledge of the product than myself, I finally sent it back. I will keep flying my Mavic Pro and will probably wait for the Mavic Pro 2 or even the Autel Evo. Bottom line a product is only as good as the customer service and DJI has some of the worse CS in the business, based on my experience with the MA and the previous drones from DJI that I have had.
I only have the Phantom 4 Pro+, Osmo, Pocket and Mavic Air ….. am I a DJI fan boy? Damn right I am ……. just had to send my P4P RC back to DJI because it wouldn't charge …… they fixed it for free and they even replaced the rubber cover for charge port that I lost. The screen had new protective film etc. and it was spotless. Either that or they just gave me a new one. Service was fast; I was informed of progress almost daily and they paid the return postage. The sort of service I would expect if I had bought a Care Refresh package .…. but I hadn't! Brilliant service.
Great review. I just took my Mavic Air on its first maiden flight. Though I was in my office but I was a bit nervous since it is my first drone. It was great!!
Thanks for the comprehensive analysis Rick. I got my Air a month ago and I'm extremely happy with it. The carry case in the Fly More version does fit the Air in its protective case in the side zipper compartment very comfortably, so maybe they upgraded it since you got yours.
I sold my mavic pro and bought the mavic air. I am still using it untill now 2022. I wanted to upgrade to mavic air 2s but it's not worth the money since I am not using it professionally so the mavic air does the job.
I personally am done with phones and tablets because they are just not bright enough to see in daylight even with full brite and a shade. finally broke down and got a large ultra brite Crystalsky monitor and now I'm a happy camper. I use it on my P4 and my Air . I got a CS DJI mount for Mavic Pro and adapted it for use on the Air. This way i can take it off the P4 and put it right on to the Air controller with no hardware changes.
Thanks for the comment and I agree with you. Most tablets and phones are not great in any sunlight and I find myself searching for the shade of a nearby tree to help me see the screen. The CrystalSky monitors fix this issue with their brighter screens and also make flying more reliable because of their closed software image. I am working on a review for the CrystalSky and even though I love it, there are a few things I'll pick on in the review, like the fact that it doesn't come with a basic mount. Stay tuned for that review and see if you agree with my findings. Thanks, Rick
I’m new to the drone world and was looking at the Mavic Pro vs the Air, after watching many test and compares you sold me on the Mavic Air, thanks for the comprehensive tests and explanations, I’m also an engineer getting towards my retirement era and need a fun hobby, I also just got my first action camera the Hero7 Black and really enjoying it on trips, cycling and SUP. Again thanks for a great review I’ll be watching more of your videos and visiting you web store.
Just started w my new Mavic Air. Its amazing and everything in this video is on target. The one thing that I couldn't figure out from the manual was where the port was to update the hub firmware. Thanks for pointing out the removable cover. It wasn't clear in the manual that it was to be removed first and it looked like it was permanently attached like the other pads on the hub so I thought it might no longer be needed.
Scott, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. That connection is really hidden and it took me a little work to find it too. Be sure to sub the channel when you get a chance so you don't miss anything. We'll be at the DJI launch this week and will be posting a ton of content from the show. Rick
The more I find out about the Mavic Air the more I like it. Get an extra battery, hunt for better blades and 3d print yourself some feet to extend it off the ground a bit and you've got your flyer.
A useful tip for easy extracting the micro sd card from the « hard to reach « slot: put a short scotch tape at the rear of the card,short enough not to interfere with nothing, and gently pull the tape (and the card) without difficulty...
Andre, thanks. I've done that with a few of my MicroSD cards and was only complaining (a little) that DJI didn't give us better access to the card. The Engineers only think about function and often miss the customer experience in their designs. I appreciate the post and hope you'll sub the channel. Rick
You're welcome and thanks for the post. It's an amazing quad and I'm really flying it more than my others right now because of it's portability and nimbleness in the air. Have fun! Rick
Such a great informative video! I get my Mavic Air tomorrow. So happy now that I bought this model drone. New to drones...started Applied Media course with heavy videography/photography core weight! Wanted something higher quality that I won’t outgrow too fast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. XO
Thanks for the post and welcome to the hobby. The Mavic Air is the perfect balance of camera quality, flight stability, ease of use and price, you're going to love it. I'll have a lot more clips posting soon on the Mavic Air and a bunch of other gear so consider subbing the channel so you don't miss anything. Be sure to post your clips somewhere on line when you start flying so others can enjoy them. Rick
Nice video. Thanks! But one tip if you're okay with it. Sit further away from the green screen, cause the reflecting light of the screen spills on the edges of you as the subject. More distance of the screen avoids this and makes a better image.. now it's a bit weird looking.
Thanks for the tip and I've moved to a larger space since then and have more room (and better lighting) so I'm hoping the new clips look better with the green screen. I appreciate you posting and hope you'll stop back soon. Rick
My math may be wrong but the battery is 27.43 Watt-hour capacity so to charge from a 5v source it would need a charging current of 5.48 amps (in one hour). Granted, USB-C supports voltages greater than 5v but charger/cable compatibility becomes an issue plus the extra cost and weight of the electronics in the drone. Just waiting to fly my one for the first time :)
Subbed after around 30 seconds in to the video. Unique technical articulation. Just bought mine a couple of days ago, and doing full familiarity beforehand.
Always love your insights Rick. I love my MAV AIR but my complaints are no zoom on camera and no waypoints. I did fly into a tree in sport mode, bounced around like a pinball and flew out of the tree with 4 badly damaged props, Final results, not a scratch on the bird and still flys perfectly.
I think you'll see a larger (1") sensor on the MP2 and maybe an optical zoom as well. That type of camera would have been too large for the MA and raised the price out of the market they were shooting for. We'll see what happens next month if the Mavic Pro 2 is released. Rick
Thanks for the review Rick, I really enjoyed your perspective from an engineering and design point of view. Even though you only had the product for 48 hours I think it was a practical and in depth assessment. I'll have to check out some of your other videos.
Just in case you're interested to know, the reason why the USBC Port does not charge the Drone battery because USBC carries 5 volts from the adapter that is plugged into. And the mavic airs battery is three Lithium Polymer cells wired in series which when fully charged is 12.6 volts
Thanks for the post but that's not really the reason. USB-C is what defines the connection type, which is newer than USB-A and MicroUSB. The bigger difference is that USB-C can deliver standard USB charging power, which is typically 5V up to 2.4A, but it can also use fast charging technologies. When a drone like the Mini 3 Pro is compatible with PD (Power Delivery) or QC (Quick Charge) technology, the charger actually tests the device it's connected to and determines the current charge level. It can then modify both the voltage and current it delivers to the device to charge it quicker. With these two technologies, the maximum power can be as high as 20V @ 5A, which is more than enough to charge the Spark. So, the real reason you can't charge the Spark from the USB-C connection is that DJI did not implement any Fast Charging capabilities into the drone to take advantage of the newer chargers. The good news is that most of the current Mini drones use that so you can charge them directly. I hope that helps.
@@mosesm.3431 Thanks for the reply and I'm glad that help a little. I love tech and will be reviewing a ton of new products on the channel so stay tuned. Rick
I usually try to buy the newest and greatest from DJI, but I just ordered my Air last night due to the boredom from waiting for the M2 or the "july 18" release. Great review, can't wait for my Air.
You are awesome! Very professional, genuine, passionate, and I love how fast you work to keep the downtime to a minimum. Tells a lot about your work ethic. Thanks for the video!

Hello, I know you probably wont come across my comment, but just in case you do, can you talk about the 2.4 and 5.8 ghz? and also what you think is best to use to get better stronger signal. thank you.
I know that there are "landing pads" that you can get for drones. I personally suggest not getting those. If you're a photographer or filmmaker, chances are you have a 2in1 or a 5in1 reflector lying around (and if you don't you should get one). Use that (it's basically the same as the "landing pads" from the official site, but with other uses when you are filming with your camera). I carry one with me whenever I take my camera somewhere, so why not use it to land the drone? That's just my philosophy... Tall Grass be gone.

Stumbled onto your site and am impressed with your review. Not even sure why I watched the entire thing, I don't own a drone, but have to commend you on the in depth and obviously well researched presentation. I almost wish I owned a drone now.
I bought one of these the other day and I am blown away by how amazing it is.
I am considering buying a quad. This is by far the best video analysing the Mavic Air
Thanks👍
The best review for the Mavic Air I've seen so far. I like how you go into the smaller details that others don't include.
I agree that it's hard to get the card out but I a) press the card to eject and b) use a dedicated pair of plastic tweezers to remove the card. It works every time. I love my Mavic Air.
As someone who stutters and stops a lot and needs a detailed script for narrating videos, an under-appreciated aspect of this video is this guy's lack of cuts. Very succinct, confident speaker.
Great video! Re: getting the SD card out, for my Raspberry Pi card I attached a piece of scotch tape and folded it over itself so that it attached to both sides of the outer half of the card. That way, there's always a little piece of tape to grab and pull it out. Might help for this situation as well.
John, thanks for the post and that's a great idea. I'll try that tomorrow and I'm sure it will help getting that little rascal out of the quad. Stay tuned, I have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
I recently purchased the Mavic Air. Seen a lot of reviews saying it is really hard to get the SD card out. I don’t know if everyone already noticed, but it is spring loaded. So if you push it in more it pops out. For me it has not caused any issues so far. But I do agree using the cable is way easier and faster.
Thanks for a great review :)
great idea
I use a plastic tweezer to eject and to take it out. Makes me a bit more carful each time and it's not falling out.
Genius
Memory cad goes in with gold contacts up. Spring loaded when seated properly. Use a small piece of tape on the memory card so you can pull the memory card out after releasing it.
I love the tips like don't take card out over grass etc. If there is a stupid mistake to make I will make it. I'll also say as someone that just bought the Air it is good to see an engineer excited about it. Oops one more comment- probably the best TH-cam instruction I've seen on any topic.
I did a bunch of research an bought an open box Mavic Air... I'm even more happy with my purchase after your review!
Hope you enjoy it! That Mavic Air is an amazing quad and I'm still flying mine today. Even though there have been a lot of newer drones released since that quad came out, it still provides everything you need for a great day of flying and filming. Stay tuned for more content this weekend.
Im impressed by the number of words spoken in this video
One of the best if not the best review, thank you Rick! I bought the Mavic AIr and I didn't like your review because I wanted to justify my purchase. I bought the Mavic Air because it suits my needs. I am not worried about not having Ocusync because one of the rules in my country of flying a drone is you must only fly during the day and keep your drone within visual line-of sight..Plus the extra sensors that the Mavic Air has.
I love the Mavic Air. Thanks again!
Hi Rick from BBC on Long Island buddy! I must tell you that 6 yrs ago I had a bad car accident and suddenly after working 34 yrs I was fighting for my life being totally paralyzed ! After a lot of work and at 53yrs old at the time I was able to walk out of the nursing home. Ok now I am forced retirement and can't do too much physically so I was told to get a , " Hobby " , now that's where you came in to my picture of life! After watching all of the drone video's out there , your video's are the most informative and for obvious reasons, you are my favorite and helped me with my new hobby..........I just wanted to thank you and just remind you how popular you are Rick !!! Almost Rock Star Status ! PS I own a pro 4 + I will be buying a second drone(maverick pro) ..I just don't know which one zoom? Anyway please hook me up where to buy it and suggestions about the monitor......because I love my pro4+ because I liked just pulling out the controller and bam your all set to fly instead of playing with wires setting up a phone or tablet!!! Help me out Rick ? What tablet should i buy for my new Maverick??? Thanks Rick , your my guy buddy!
Just got the onyx black and use a 64gb card in it. No issues so far! I love the thing! Flies excellent in wind (especially with sport mode enabled) and I haven't lost range or anything yet! Very pleased with my purchase
Rick ... I'm a big fan of the CrystalSky Monitor and wanted to share with you how to overcome the connection problems with the CrystalSky and the Mavic Air. I find that if I follow this procedure I never have a problem:
1st flight of the day:
Step 1: Power up Crystal Sky (no cables connected)
Step 2: Power up Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air (don't move on until you have established a connection between Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air)
Step 3: Connect your cable to the Mavic Air Controller
Step 4: Connect the other end of your cable to your CrystalSky
Subsequent Flights (at the end of the first flight, do not totally power down CrystalSky and don't disconnect any cables):
Step 1: Wake up CrystalSky (no need to disconnect any cables prior to this step)
Step 2: Power up Mavic Air Controller and Mavic Air
I followed these procedures and 100% of the time I had a consistent connection. One other problem with using the CrystalSky on the Mavic Air, it will not work with DJI Mavic Mount that they sell for the Mavic. The Jaws that hold the piece that mates up to the CrystalSky mount are different dimensions then that on the Mavic Air. I wound up going with a third party mount that holds my CrystalSky Monitor and works real well on the Mavic Air.
I just wanted to share this with your community if they wanted to fly the CrystalSky Monitor on the Mavic Air.
When I use my Crystalsky monitor.
STEP 1 Turn on drone.
STEP 2 Turn on RC.
STEP 3 Connect the monitor to the RC by using the USB port on the side of the RC and to either USB port on the side of the monitor depending on what cable you have. I DON'T USE THE PORT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RC OR MONITOR.
STEP 4 The monitor turns on automatically most times. If it doesn't turn monitor on. Then wait till it loads and hit the FLY GO.
Damn nuisance not be able to use the mount I got for the SPARK
Just bought my Mavic Air today and just watched your video!!! Thank you for making me feel comfortable about spending $600 and EXCITED to get mine in the air in the morning!!!!!
Steven, I'm glad you enjoyed the clip and I hope you have a lot of fun with the new quad. Take it slow and you'll be a pro in no time. Stop back soon as I have more clips posting this week. Rick
Bought my Mavic Air around 14 days ago, enjoyed your review of the Mavic Air Thanks. It's a pity that today I heard about the Mavic Air 2 I should have waited but did not know it was coming , I'll stick to what I bought for a good while
I was listening and thought the video speed is at 1.25 and checked and is normal. Great info thanks
I ahve this new drone, it is literally insane how compact, complex and well built it is.
WOW! That was the very best overview/review/handson/explanations I have ever seen! And I have seen a lot about a lot! Thank you!
it was nice watching this, something refreshing about your personality. You have the appearance of an older guy, but sound so energetic smooth and youthful... I am ready to get a mavic air now
Old guys rule kid!
Bought the Mavic Air, was worried I got the wrong one, you've reassured my decision.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the info I have just brought a Air drone and was looking for some more info about it and you have helped allot.
Just Mavic Air 1..i have no other..ocean and island

I just got the MA. I’m nervous & excited about learning to fly it and learn the special features. It would be nice to see how each flight feature works and understand what is going to happen when I select it. Also the best way to switch between each while on the fly. I hear all the warnings on what can happen on ‘fly-aways’ I’m almost afraid to take it out of beginner mode.
18:11 I wouldn't recommend doing that as condensation you see form on a cold glass of ice water can damage electronics as well as cause other issues to avoid. Seeing this video just reminded me I have an AIO cam on a JJ1000 that went blurry in high humidity in-between cycles of rain I am hoping is moisture and not a lose light sensor from being attacked by a telephone pole that roam around my backyard looking for trouble and ended the flight in wet grass.... just checked it and now it's fine now.... thanks for reminding me;-) Amazing tech being shown...
You should’ve been the first person on TH-cam to make a video on this drone.always excellent reviews
That small display saved my drone (magic Pro) when my connection with my smartphone has failed, you can see the distance...and sync with the movement.
this man is practical AF...loved it
Rick I enjoyed your review because you are intelligent and analyze things. Most people do superficial tests without putting much thought behind the actual development of a product and why things function certain ways. Keep doing these. Thank you.
I've had my Mavic Air a few months now. The case for the drone fits nicely in the zip bag (that expands) on the front of the carrying bag. It would've been nice to have it inside the main compartment somewhere, but it does fit perfectly in the front bag on the carry case.
New MA owner here and that cleared up a lot of technical and functionality questions I had. Thanks for the details! I look forward to more videos DV!
This was the "shortest" 43 minute video I've ever watched! Absolutely AMAZING video! Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I have a lot more content posting this week so be sure to stop back. Rick
The antenae on my Mavic Air controller definitely DO clip down together
In the mavic case bottom. You ll notice a sleeve.
Which you can extend and fit In the remote controller once you remove the joysticks.
That way you will be able to fit both the quad and the remote in ine single package.
I’m new to drones. Like a true idiot I wasn’t expecting it to be so technical. My train of thought was I could really use it for aerial views when I’m sprinting on the track. It took me 4 days to learn how to turn the damn thing on. So I’ve since put it away to first learn what to do before flying.
Thankful for these videos. Great Job Rick thanks for the insight.
Mate, I have been watching a lot of videos the last few days since getting my first drone, the Mavic Air. Your presentation is by far the best I have seen to date. Thankyou and well done :D
On the USB cards, use a small piece of tape on the end bottom side of the card to make a tab, use thin tape, this creates a small tab to pull on to pull the card out. Like they do with some batteries. If you use red tape, if you drop it, it is easy to see where it is. Cheers
damn...I'm impressed..if I'm not really careful..I learn something new every day:)
Rick the very best in-depth review of the Mavic Air I have seen. Fantastic!!! I have been flying the Mavic Air for the last 2 1/2 weeks and truly love it. Over the weekend I sold my Mavic Pro and P4. Keeping my Spark as a backup. This is how confident I am that the Mavic Air will be my go to drone. If you take any still photos try -2 setting for the sharpness removes any “jaggies” perfect and crisp photos.
Same here...the spark has a faster scramble time, so keeping it too.
Do you like the digital zoom better on the mavic pro or the mavic air?
Eric, I purchased a Mavic Air as well and am wanting to list my P3A. How did you go about selling your MP and P4?
Hi, I sold both through eBay with a buy now price. They sold much faster than I expected. Good Luck!!!
I am sorry to say I have never used the digital zoom.
Good video, I just bought one and cannot wait to get it. It is my first drone.
You can fit the remote and the drone in a case in your fly more combo bag. Looks funny, but the side pocket will do the job.
Once the SD card is full it starts recording to the internal memory automatically and verbally tells you.
Hands down...the best comprehensive review I have ever seen on a drone! The only things I would have added is talking about the sensors (if you did that I completely missed it!) and the fact that if another person is using the DJI googles the pilot cannot have a phone/tablet attached. I know you mentioned the cable port not working with the other plugged in but I would reiterate it. This is a downfall of DJI, but I'm sure they'll eventually fix it. Thanks!
First time Mavic buyer/user. But the review is so excellent due to Rick's knowledge. It helps me understand things I did not learn from other reviews that I had checked. Thanks Rick.
I have the Mavic Pro for a year been traveling with it a lot to many countries, China, Thailand, Bahama, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and etc. I've been contemplating for the Mavic Air due to its portability. After watching countless reviews on Mavic Air, I decided to stay with my Pro, it is not really THAT MUCH of a size difference, at the end you'll still have to put it in a case along with the controller. For those with the Mavic Pro that knows how to stack everything into the DJI bag that comes with it, it is just as big as the Mavic Air that's packed into the case with the controller into the "bag".
What really kills it for me is the battery life, many reviews on youtube and friends with Mavic Air states how short the battery life is, it really only last about 15min of flight time with recording. That means by the time I get the Mavic Air all step up with calibrating, proper settings, mode, and the FPS, good 30% of the battery is gone. Then you'll have to test fly the route for the footage you want, by then one battery is down, get the second battery on, fly another 15min (if you do video you don't really record 15min straight, you break it into parts, that use up even more batteries). I'll just wait for the Mavic Pro 2, I just hope it is smaller than the Pro (close to Mavic Air Size), larger sensor, 4k 120fps if possible, side and back obstacle avoidance sensors, hand gesture control, controller grip can be adjusted so you don't have to take off your iphone case, and most important is even more battery life if possible. I spent 1.3k for my Pro Bundle, so if the Mavic Pro 2 can fulfill all that mentioned above, I'll be first to preorder it right after their announcement.
Close call on ordering the Mavic Air though, phewwww.
Thanks for the post and I totally agree with you. The Mavic Pro is they perfect quad for travel. I do use the Mavic Air a lot as well but just love the Mavic Pro for all of it's advanced features. Be sure and sub the channel so you don't miss anything new I'll be posting. Thanks, Rick
the shaking was the cold impacting the IMU, as it was over compensating, the recent update they adjusted and it fixed it, great video as usual pal
I find the Mavic Mini is the best for me as I also have a MA 2 but the Mini is the best for construction site videos for quick and easy set and use as they dont like drones running to long because of the crews working below
Thank you for the indepth look at the Mavic Air Rick. Good job In my time with the Mavic Air I found three areas I think that can be improved upon: removal of the SD card (you have to use tweezers), noise level (wish DJI would make quiter props), and the power button on the bottom (odd place to put it). Thanks again !
Love the review Rick. You do such a great job breaking down the technology to a level where those of us not tech knowledgeable can understand it. Keep up the good reviews and looking forward to more in the future. BTW love the way you explained the hidden connection on the battery bank for future firmware updates. I was wonder what that was for. JVO in Michigan.
I didn’t read all of the comments but I have the fly more combo and I can fit everything in the bag they provide. Even my iPad mini. The side pocket expands enough to fit the air and the case with plenty of room to put extra wires etc. i stuff the iPad mini in the slim pocket. It’s a tight fit but without an iPad case it just snuggles right in
Excellent review Rick. As always. Cheers from Argentina
My antennas click together just fine. The arms aren’t too far apart.
I love your videos. You made me decide to buy the Mavic Air. I did want to say about the antenna...mine do lock together at the ends when they fold up. Thought it was neat to keep them from flopping up. Again love the videos. Thanks
Hands down THE BEST review on the web. Thank you!! BTW you have the best set up. Well lit and no clutter as to distract from your review. Amazing. Thank you
I always forget to fold down the antenna’s, glad to know I’m not the only one...well done! Rick
Excellent review!! you know what you are doing. My only little complaint is....you cover the range last and it is the biggest difference between them
Just bought the magic air... First drone!.. So happy I found your channel.. Thanks so much for your tutorial.
Thanks for the post and I hope you really enjoy the Mavic Air, it's an amazing quad and a ton of fun to fly. Be sure to subscribe as I'll have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
Great design review Rick. I'm an engineer as well and when I received my Mavic Air and opened the box, I said Wow! Beautiful and thoughtful design... reminding me of something coming from Apple.
Lamont, I completely agree and DJI has always been great in the presentation of their gear but this latest model really surprised me with the amazing fit and finish. It's a really smart quad that also looks beautiful. Thanks for the post and be sure to subscribe to the channel. Rick
Save your money don't buy a mavic air until you read the reviews on DJI forums regarding the signal issues and video lagging issues and on top of that the terrible flight times and be careful on some of these videos you watch because sometimes they only tell you the positives and not the negatives because some of them are under contract and they get free drones just read the reviews before you buy a mavic air and if you do buy one buy it from Amazon because after you start having these issues you could return it Amazon has a great return policy not like DJI good luck and happy flying
@@bearsist it's reviews like this that make me completely unsure if I still want to buy it, but none of the other DJI drones suit my purpose 😥
I also feel the Mavic Air is my drone of choice ... my P4P is reserved ONLY for extraordinary situations when I need more flight time or more camera capabilities. I think a subtle, but major, improvement in the Mavic Air is chip speed. The feedback cycle time makes the flight characteristics exceed earlier generation drones. I also think modes like the Cinematic Mode where rate of change in acceleration is controlled as well as position are enabled by the better chip speed. I suspect the major improvements for the new Mavic Pro and the new Phantom will be how they too leverage the much higher chip speed.
Thanks for all Rick
Awesome video. I am a Mavic Air owner and I envoy flying this drone.
Very Informative Rick...Thanks
I've had my Mavic Air for about 3 weeks and been flying it everyday. Love it
To the Wi-Fi:
A really, really big point is: In US you are allowed to use FCC mode for the Wifi, in most other countries only CE mode is allowed legally. I think the signal strength is about 5 times stronger with FCC than CE. Just wanted to let you know.
Maybe if some people there quit being retarded and flying near runways they would give you an FCC mode type strength lol
My God it is by far the most helpful video about the Mavic Air I have seen. I could not help subscribe hahaha. Hi from Venezuela!
One of the best reviews for drones that I have seen. Thank you! 👍
Thanks for the video. I store the controller (sticks removed) in the elastic pouch on the back of the mavic air case.
Great, insight! Reaffirmed my decision for buying the Mavic Air. First ever drone - arrives in 2 days and with all the data I’ve absorbed, I feel like I’ve already opened it for weeks.
I also got the Mavic Air for my main drone because of the amount of travel I do. However, mine never flew because I got a bad one and DJI customer service was just awful. After nearly three days of hold time, communications problems and agents who had less knowledge of the product than myself, I finally sent it back. I will keep flying my Mavic Pro and will probably wait for the Mavic Pro 2 or even the Autel Evo. Bottom line a product is only as good as the customer service and DJI has some of the worse CS in the business, based on my experience with the MA and the previous drones from DJI that I have had.
I only have the Phantom 4 Pro+, Osmo, Pocket and Mavic Air ….. am I a DJI fan boy? Damn right I am ……. just had to send my P4P RC back to DJI because it wouldn't charge …… they fixed it for free and they even replaced the rubber cover for charge port that I lost. The screen had new protective film etc.
and it was spotless.
Either that or they just gave me a new one. Service was fast; I was informed of progress almost daily and they paid the return postage. The sort of service I would expect if I had bought a Care Refresh package .…. but I hadn't!
Brilliant service.
Thank you very much for your comprehensive and helpful review. Nobody reviews the Mavic Air like you do!
Great review. I just took my Mavic Air on its first maiden flight. Though I was in my office but I was a bit nervous since it is my first drone. It was great!!
Just a small correction @ 28:55 The flymore combo case DOES allow the drone inside it with everything else in the case at the same time.
" Brilliant " The Best Quad Review I.ve Ever Seen, " You Should Be on The ISS "
You Are: The Best of The Best "
Thanks for the comprehensive analysis Rick. I got my Air a month ago and I'm extremely happy with it. The carry case in the Fly More version does fit the Air in its protective case in the side zipper compartment very comfortably, so maybe they upgraded it since you got yours.
I sold my mavic pro and bought the mavic air. I am still using it untill now 2022. I wanted to upgrade to mavic air 2s but it's not worth the money since I am not using it professionally so the mavic air does the job.
I personally am done with phones and tablets because they are just not bright enough to see in daylight even with full brite and a shade. finally broke down and got a large ultra brite Crystalsky monitor and now I'm a happy camper. I use it on my P4 and my Air . I got a CS DJI mount for Mavic Pro and adapted it for use on the Air. This way i can take it off the P4 and put it right on to the Air controller with no hardware changes.
Thanks for the comment and I agree with you. Most tablets and phones are not great in any sunlight and I find myself searching for the shade of a nearby tree to help me see the screen. The CrystalSky monitors fix this issue with their brighter screens and also make flying more reliable because of their closed software image. I am working on a review for the CrystalSky and even though I love it, there are a few things I'll pick on in the review, like the fact that it doesn't come with a basic mount. Stay tuned for that review and see if you agree with my findings. Thanks, Rick
I’m new to the drone world and was looking at the Mavic Pro vs the Air, after watching many test and compares you sold me on the Mavic Air, thanks for the comprehensive tests and explanations, I’m also an engineer getting towards my retirement era and need a fun hobby, I also just got my first action camera the Hero7 Black and really enjoying it on trips, cycling and SUP. Again thanks for a great review I’ll be watching more of your videos and visiting you web store.
Fantastic in depth review. Thank you for doing such a professional review.
Just started w my new Mavic Air. Its amazing and everything in this video is on target. The one thing that I couldn't figure out from the manual was where the port was to update the hub firmware. Thanks for pointing out the removable cover. It wasn't clear in the manual that it was to be removed first and it looked like it was permanently attached like the other pads on the hub so I thought it might no longer be needed.
Scott, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. That connection is really hidden and it took me a little work to find it too. Be sure to sub the channel when you get a chance so you don't miss anything. We'll be at the DJI launch this week and will be posting a ton of content from the show. Rick
Great review & info for me who just got my mavic air yesterday. Thanks
Hey bud thank you for the in depth review of the Mavric Air Drone
The more I find out about the Mavic Air the more I like it. Get an extra battery, hunt for better blades and 3d print yourself some feet to extend it off the ground a bit and you've got your flyer.
Excellent review. Probably one of the best on TH-cam. Sold me.
A useful tip for easy extracting the micro sd card from the « hard to reach « slot: put a short scotch tape at the rear of the card,short enough not to interfere with nothing, and gently pull the tape (and the card) without difficulty...
Andre, thanks. I've done that with a few of my MicroSD cards and was only complaining (a little) that DJI didn't give us better access to the card. The Engineers only think about function and often miss the customer experience in their designs. I appreciate the post and hope you'll sub the channel. Rick
The joy stick protectors are a fun and easy 3d print, if you happen to have a 3d printer as well.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this. Bought a mavic air last month and sold my spark, love it!
You're welcome and thanks for the post. It's an amazing quad and I'm really flying it more than my others right now because of it's portability and nimbleness in the air. Have fun! Rick
FANTASTIC REVIEW, this really gave me such a good summary from a different point of view. Thank you for spending the time to make this video.
Such a great informative video! I get my Mavic Air tomorrow. So happy now that I bought this model drone. New to drones...started Applied Media course with heavy videography/photography core weight! Wanted something higher quality that I won’t outgrow too fast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. XO
Thanks for the post and welcome to the hobby. The Mavic Air is the perfect balance of camera quality, flight stability, ease of use and price, you're going to love it. I'll have a lot more clips posting soon on the Mavic Air and a bunch of other gear so consider subbing the channel so you don't miss anything. Be sure to post your clips somewhere on line when you start flying so others can enjoy them. Rick
Just got mavic air love it think the review was great and informative. Have to do more flying, only problem doesn't fit not 9 phone real good.
Nice video. Thanks! But one tip if you're okay with it. Sit further away from the green screen, cause the reflecting light of the screen spills on the edges of you as the subject. More distance of the screen avoids this and makes a better image.. now it's a bit weird looking.
Thanks for the tip and I've moved to a larger space since then and have more room (and better lighting) so I'm hoping the new clips look better with the green screen. I appreciate you posting and hope you'll stop back soon. Rick
My math may be wrong but the battery is 27.43 Watt-hour capacity so to charge from a 5v source it would need a charging current of 5.48 amps (in one hour).
Granted, USB-C supports voltages greater than 5v but charger/cable compatibility becomes an issue plus the extra cost and weight of the electronics in the drone.
Just waiting to fly my one for the first time :)
Subbed after around 30 seconds in to the video. Unique technical articulation.
Just bought mine a couple of days ago, and doing full familiarity beforehand.
Smart move! I just ordered mine last night, looking forward to tomorrow!
Fun to watch these oldie goldies 👍👍✌️
Thank you for you time ...i'm learning from you
Always love your insights Rick. I love my MAV AIR but my complaints are no zoom on camera and no waypoints. I did fly into a tree in sport mode, bounced around like a pinball and flew out of the tree with 4 badly damaged props, Final results, not a scratch on the bird and still flys perfectly.
I think you'll see a larger (1") sensor on the MP2 and maybe an optical zoom as well. That type of camera would have been too large for the MA and raised the price out of the market they were shooting for. We'll see what happens next month if the Mavic Pro 2 is released. Rick
I am just waiting for my flame red mavic air to get here. Its my 1st drone so i really cant wait!
Thanks for the review Rick, I really enjoyed your perspective from an engineering and design point of view. Even though you only had the product for 48 hours I think it was a practical and in depth assessment. I'll have to check out some of your other videos.
Just in case you're interested to know, the reason why the USBC Port does not charge the Drone battery because USBC carries 5 volts from the adapter that is plugged into. And the mavic airs battery is three Lithium Polymer cells wired in series which when fully charged is 12.6 volts
Thanks for the post but that's not really the reason. USB-C is what defines the connection type, which is newer than USB-A and MicroUSB. The bigger difference is that USB-C can deliver standard USB charging power, which is typically 5V up to 2.4A, but it can also use fast charging technologies. When a drone like the Mini 3 Pro is compatible with PD (Power Delivery) or QC (Quick Charge) technology, the charger actually tests the device it's connected to and determines the current charge level. It can then modify both the voltage and current it delivers to the device to charge it quicker. With these two technologies, the maximum power can be as high as 20V @ 5A, which is more than enough to charge the Spark. So, the real reason you can't charge the Spark from the USB-C connection is that DJI did not implement any Fast Charging capabilities into the drone to take advantage of the newer chargers. The good news is that most of the current Mini drones use that so you can charge them directly. I hope that helps.
Man! You are very smart and do indeed know your stuff! Nice work, and much respect! Thank you!
@@mosesm.3431 Thanks for the reply and I'm glad that help a little. I love tech and will be reviewing a ton of new products on the channel so stay tuned. Rick
I usually try to buy the newest and greatest from DJI, but I just ordered my Air last night due to the boredom from waiting for the M2 or the "july 18" release. Great review, can't wait for my Air.
You are awesome! Very professional, genuine, passionate, and I love how fast you work to keep the downtime to a minimum. Tells a lot about your work ethic. Thanks for the video!
