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.
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.
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...
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
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
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 :)
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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 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.
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
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!
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 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.
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
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
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 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
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
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.
Yet another in depth very informative and educational presentation. Well done Rick, always look forward to and enjoy your presentation immensely. Your passion for drones is clearly visible and acknowledged. Thanks very much indeed. Cheers form South Africa
Rick, thanks for this comprehensive review. Absolutely the best "Real World" review that I've seen on the Mavic Air. You have the very best TH-cam Drone Channel, with the most honest reviews that I've seen. Thanks much! George in FL
George, thanks a lot for the post and I am really glad you're enjoying the clips. I have a lot of fun playing with these quads and will have a lot more content posting soon. Rick
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.
Thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. If you use this link to make your purchase, we receive a small commission from DJI to help support the channel - tinyurl.com/yceb938z. Stay tuned for more content, Rick
My first time watching one of your videos and I must say I am impressed. I really like your delivery, the level of detail and the way you balance your opinion with a solid level of explanation. I have subscribed and will be looking for more videos on this Mavic Air drone that I wish to purchase VERY soon.
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 !
Some of the best things in life take a little work. I hope you enjoyed the clip and got some value from the content. I know it was long but there was a lot to cover in the clip. I have more content posting this week so be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Jeff, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. The Mavic Air is an amazing quad and you're going to love flying it. I'll have a lot more quad content posting this week so be sure to stop back and sub the channel. 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.
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
David, thanks a lot for the post and I'm glad the video helped. The Mavic Air is an amazing quad and you're going to love flying it. Stop back soon as I have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
Great review!I had not found this channel until after I bought my drone or I would have bought through your link. But what a treasure of good advice and information. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for the post but I'm younger than I look :) I'm glad you're enjoying the clips and I hope you're getting a lot of airtime this summer. Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Hi Rick. Hands down that was one of the best reviews I have ever watched. Just bought the Mavic air with the Fly More combo and goggles. Can't wait till it arrives. I have had the Mavic Pro since it came out and am anxious to see how they compare. Loved the review and great job.
Ralph, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I love flying the Mavic Air and even though I still fly the Mavic Pro a lot, the Air is with me when I travel because it's just SO easy to bring along. Let me know how you like it or if you need any accessories once you start flying it. Rick
Hi Rick, thanks for the in depth review, nice to see a reviewer with one eye on the regulations! I've just ordered one, and waiting on delivery. Glenn. UK
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.
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.
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!!
Colin, thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip! Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss any of the new content I'll be posting this week. 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

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.
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!
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👍

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
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!

You should’ve been the first person on TH-cam to make a video on this drone.always excellent reviews
Good video, I just bought one and cannot wait to get it. It is my first drone.
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.

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
this man is practical AF...loved it
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.
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.
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.
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
Thanks Rick for a great video. Just subscribed to the channel and newsletter.
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!!!!!

Very Informative Rick...Thanks
I've had my Mavic Air for about 3 weeks and been flying it everyday. Love it
Thank you very much for your comprehensive and helpful review. Nobody reviews the Mavic Air like you do!
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.
That was a really worthwhile appraisal. Thank you very much.
Excellent review Rick. As always. Cheers from Argentina
My antennas click together just fine. The arms aren’t too far apart.
Excellent review. Probably one of the best on TH-cam. Sold me.
Hey bud thank you for the in depth review of the Mavric Air Drone
Thanks for the detailed review Rick! Excellent delivery and views. Well presented.
Thanks for all Rick
Yet another in depth very informative and educational presentation. Well done Rick, always look forward to and enjoy your presentation immensely. Your passion for drones is clearly visible and acknowledged. Thanks very much indeed. Cheers form South Africa
Fantastic in depth review. Thank you for doing such a professional review.
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.
Rick, thanks for this comprehensive review. Absolutely the best "Real World" review that I've seen on the Mavic Air. You have the very best TH-cam Drone Channel, with the most honest reviews that I've seen. Thanks much! George in FL
George, thanks a lot for the post and I am really glad you're enjoying the clips. I have a lot of fun playing with these quads and will have a lot more content posting soon. Rick

Amazing video Rick! Enjoyed watching every single part of it!
That was exhaustive, and exhausting!
Some of the best things in life take a little work. I hope you enjoyed the clip and got some value from the content. I know it was long but there was a lot to cover in the clip. I have more content posting this week so be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Thank you for making this video Rick! Totally useful content. I’m a new quad DJI Mavic Air owner. Your’s is the best intro video for this new product.
Jeff, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. The Mavic Air is an amazing quad and you're going to love flying it. I'll have a lot more quad content posting this week so be sure to stop back and sub the channel. 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.
Bought the Mavic Air, was worried I got the wrong one, you've reassured my decision.
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
Thank you for you time ...i'm learning from you
I always forget to fold down the antenna’s, glad to know I’m not the only one...well done! Rick
Awesome video, helped me with my decision. Loved then engineering aspects of the video, felt I received more information than just a picture video.
David, thanks a lot for the post and I'm glad the video helped. The Mavic Air is an amazing quad and you're going to love flying it. Stop back soon as I have a lot more content posting this week. Rick
Drone Valley just picked up the Mavic Air Fly More Combo for 812 at Best Buy. Only the Black ones were that price but who cares!!
Nice overview of the Mavic Air, thank you.
Great review!I had not found this channel until after I bought my drone or I would have bought through your link. But what a treasure of good advice and information. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for the video. I store the controller (sticks removed) in the elastic pouch on the back of the mavic air case.
Nice review! I will waiting for your Skydio 2.0 test.
Excellent video as usual Rick, thanks so much for the effort and time you put into these clips. They help newbies like me immensely.
Great review & info for me who just got my mavic air yesterday. Thanks
This guy reminds me of an older version of myself! Very informative as I am! Great review!
Thanks for the post but I'm younger than I look :) I'm glad you're enjoying the clips and I hope you're getting a lot of airtime this summer. Be sure to sub the channel so you don't miss anything. Rick
Hi Rick. Hands down that was one of the best reviews I have ever watched. Just bought the Mavic air with the Fly More combo and goggles. Can't wait till it arrives. I have had the Mavic Pro since it came out and am anxious to see how they compare.
Loved the review and great job.
Ralph, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I love flying the Mavic Air and even though I still fly the Mavic Pro a lot, the Air is with me when I travel because it's just SO easy to bring along. Let me know how you like it or if you need any accessories once you start flying it. Rick
Awesome video. I am a Mavic Air owner and I envoy flying this drone.
Hi Rick, thanks for the in depth review, nice to see a reviewer with one eye on the regulations! I've just ordered one, and waiting on delivery. Glenn. UK
Excellent presentation. Thanks so much for a solid review.
Excellent comprehensive overview. Thank you so much!
Great Overview Rick! ~ Looking forward to the clips that you are preparing
Awesome video! Very helpful!
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 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.
Many thanks, I am new to drones. Lots of good info here. I am subbing today. Looking forward to checking out your other vids,
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.
The antenae on my Mavic Air controller definitely DO clip down together
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!!
What a fantastic vlog!! Thanks rick, as always your videos are the ones that really give all the most important pieces of info!!

Hi Rick
Really helpful video. The Mavic air is my first drone and I am slowly getting my head around it.
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
Wildly informative. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial!!! Thank you!
Very good video with lots of great information.
