I've had the drone since it came out. I've got nothing to compare it to it's the only drone i've ever owned but it does everything I need it to do. I like the styling and the special fly features.
I really like Mavic Air. I have a lot of quadcopters and I change them all the time, but mavic air will always be with me. mavic air was one of the first compact sized smart quadcopters, it has a lot of flight modes. it's like at one time when the bmw e65 appeared, everyone scolded it, and then it became one of the best-selling models so mavic air will always be in my collection 👍
I bought the mavic air brand new in 2018 and its been brilliant 👏 I've had it out 11000 feet with no problems , I've now got the mavic air 2 but I still use and love to bits . Great video and enjoy yourself with it . subscribed 👍
I have the same Flame Red Air since 2019 and also the Mini 2. The Air is my preference for all the reasons you mentioned. Batteries are the only problem now like you said. I luckily have 8 batteries now, 5 of them bought second hand. This drone is amazing just pick up decent second hand batteries when you can in your local classifieds..
Yep I've got a Mavic Air - It just seems to do everything I want it to do and as an avid watcher of drone channels, can't say I've seen anything too innovative to make me upgrade frankly. I find the biggest issue finding places to use it. Battery life I suppose is its biggest weakness compared to others. Video quality is simply amazing, especially its stability. I've driven it into the odd branch/bush but still never damaged it requiring its spare blades I still have. I love it!
Thanks for the informative video! I just order one of these today off of ebay (first Gen). I'm 55 years old and wondering if you could advise on the best first time drone user app that you would recommend I get for my phone?
Awesome Video! I love my Mavic Air, it takes amazing photos and like you mention the remote is just as awesome. I plan on keeping it my kit as backup drone.
I wish the new mavic mini drones still had option for the smaller controller. While the larger rc controller is more comfortable it is indeed large and bulky which kind of defeats the purpose of portability because one of the benefits of these smaller drones is portability but that kind of goes away when you need to take the large bulky controller.
I have used my mavic air for a long time. I have fcc hack it so the distance is better. Mini 2 would be the airs match but mini 3 pro would be the best. The smaller drones are easier to carry. The mavic air has pano shots and some nice quick shots. I managed to get 4 batteries and in honesty I normally just fly using one or two depending on the location. My biggest problem is the flight time. I normally set it with 35% remaining so it ensures my return flight. I like this drone a lot. And one tip was not to update the database as it starts to restrict your drone flight.
I was sold on getting one when it first came out due to all the features and tech that came in this small package problem is the drone never really worked for me and even ended up dying after sitting for a couple months, had never dropped or crashed it. It seems the IMU overheats and goes bad very easily. The issues I had were (1) Lag at remove (2) Connectivity (3) Life of use (4) Expensive batteries. I would recommend the Mini 2 over the Air unless you are paying sub $300 for the unit.
I have the Mavic Air that my wife bought for me as a present at the end of 2018 and it's the only drone I've ever owned so I can't say much as far as what I like better. But it has been reliable and is relatively easy to use. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the connection quality. I was only probably about 500 feet away and the feed was delayed. I lost visual sight of the drone and hit a branch sticking out which sent the drone tumbling down. I'm waiting for a new arm to come in then I'm going to attempt to fix it myself, which looks easy enough.
Thanks for your video. I am considering buying a secondhand Mavic Air as my first drone for playing and training. I watched many testing video on other websides in China and I also know it has some weakness such as battery life and image transmission, but when I saw its price on flea market no more than 300$ with 5 battery, maybe it is my best choice.
Still a capable drone in 2022. Hold its own and its great that DJI still sell the battery (although goes out of stock soon as its in) I still fly mine along with my Mavic 3 as a backup as it still is a 4k drone!
The Mavic air was my first drone, maybe panic or want something fresh with better mobility I sold and got me a mini 1 personally didn’t like the mini because wasn’t that small and the limit on wind speed sold that one got me a Mavic pro that one was good but definitely need his own backpack 🎒 so I sold that one too on eBay and now in 2022 just got me back on Mavic air with 3batt fly more for $213 plus shipping on eBay let see what happens. One thing I was afraid 😱 about the signal but I have a Apple AirTag to go on the hunt if I get lost .
Recently picked up a secondhand mavic air for my first drone. I didn't want to spend too much incase I didn't like it and was surprised when I found the mavic air selling for quite cheap. I had wanted one back when they were 1k but couldn't justify that kind of money back then. I'm still learning the basics but really enjoying it. I think if I'd have bought one of the newer versions I would be more hesitant in my flying due to the price tag lol. Great video, it would be nice to have more range but for the secondhand price tag I really can't complain.
Nice to review a review of the Mavic Air (I also own a Mini2 but I will NEVER sell my Air). I have this drone since February 2018, I have the COMBO version and I use it especially for photogrammetry work. In my opinion it is still a beautiful object for filming, photos and photogrammetry as the SDK has been released by DJI which also allows the use of third-party apps such as LICHI, DRONELINK, DRONEDEPLOY, DRONE HARMONY etc. In your review I saw that you lost the signal but used the 5.8G transmission. With the 2.4g it is more stable especially when used in FCC Mode. Here in Italy you can only use CE Mode but for automatic flights it is not a problem. Greetings
@@jakobwidmaier7246 The mavic Air is a great drone but has limited flight time. The Mini 2 has no obstacle detectors but has an excellent camera, (perhaps even better than the Air) it is light (less than 250gr. ) excellent maneuverability, free SDK and therefore usable also with third-party APPs and the OCUSYNC 2.0 radio system. Advised. Now Mini 2SE has also come out. It is identical to the mini 2 but has a 2k camera (still excellent) and costs less.
I've just traded my Mini SE for one of these. I wanted something sturdy that I was less afraid of losing than my main drone. I can't wait to try it out.
@@flywrightdronesIt's a noisy little beast isn't it. The battery life is quite short too, which could be down to old batteries. Still the camera quality is good, it's got obstacle avoidance sensors and feels like it can handle a lot of punishment. For me it is a really good bargain, which I look forward to flying much more in the summer.
My first drone ever. I still have a crush on his cute design, and had so many memories with it. Fun to say that most of those memories were about destroying it. Changed 3 of them, before exchanging it for a phantom 4 that I loved to the very last. Sold the p4 due to not having time to fly anymore, but I check for new drones almost everyday. Btw got up to 4km with the Mavic Air and 7km with the phantom
It is April of 2023 as I watch your excellent video. I still have my Magic Air ( which I bought refurbished ) It is a high quality piece of gear and I ham SERIOUSLY happy with it! I am about to buy a couple of extra batteries for it - the prices have fallen a good bit since 2022- and I will probably get a few other accessories to go along with. But yeah - DJI did a good job with this one!
So it means they are really gonna stop the batteries 😭??. The drone is too strong for the batteries to came to a hult soo soon ,some of us are just buying one
I just dusted mine off and I'm charging all the components. I'm sure there'll be all kinds of software updates to do before I can fly it, but I'm ready for this weekend.
thanks for sharing your review! I was recently gifted a Mavic Air and cannot find the "DJI go 4" app in the Google play store. Is that what app you're using to connect your phone? or are there any other apps I can use instead?
I’d go with the Mavic Air honestly, I bought a mini SE and ended up returning it because it had so many signal issues. But you have signal issues with the air as well but with the features the air comes with I’d go with that one honestly.
I'm just saying... I just brought a mavic air. It is my 2nd dji drone. My first was/is the mini se. I've only been flying drones for 9 months, and I wish I had started with dji. The flying quality beats the @#%& out of everything else I've been flying. Including my HS720G. My next dji will be the mavic air 2. Thank you, dji, for making me feel the "WOW!" in drone flying.
I like my Mavic air, but mine is getting pretty beat up. I recently crashed it into a roof, and it got pretty deep scratched and broke one of the rear feet (not the folding ones) that are molded into the motor housing. Unfortunately, I cannot find this part so I am going to have to rig something up before I can fly it. Also, the batteries are down to 15 minutes or less to dead.
Cool video, Shannon. Only 4 years, it seems like many more. It sure was a great design, ahead of it's time. I think that EXO blackhawk , tried to copy the design of it.
Covid put paid to all my video projects. I've flown mine twice in the past year. Still think it's a good piece of kit. I owned a Mini for a while and frankly hated it. The slightest wind would sweep it away. I almost lost it one day, the moderate wind drained the battery to critical and though I could see it, the ground was uneven with long grass. I did manage to land nearby but That was it foe me.
I have 3 drones right now a HS 720 not impressed, a Ruko F11 GIM better than the HS, and a DJI Mini 2. Love the Mini 2. Great drone. Being on disability I have limited income, and I am looking at a Mavic Air fly more combo, The guy wants less than 300 for it, I would really like a Air 2, But they still a bit more than I have on hand. So May just get the Air and save for Air 2.
Which leg? The front legs have the antennas that utilize the video transmission enhanced Wi-Fi, If it’s minimal damage to the rear leg I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.
I think i messed up my Gimble by turning on Drone n was moving gimble with the cover still on such a dumb move. Now i cant maneuver my gimble at all n drone is out of warranty. Anyone got any suggestions how or where to fix Mavic Air Gimble.
Have you tried to calibrate it? I’m not sure if DJI still repairs these or not. Sounds like you burned up the internal motors sadly. Hopefully you can get it fixed! 👍
@@flywrightdronesMy experience with the MAS props is that they only reduce the noise by about 3db. You are correct regarding the quality. I have found that they tend to "splinter" easily and the tips wear faster making for unstable control. Just not worth the trade off in my opinion.
Mine fly upward and didnt stop. Lost all control. Fly away. It could have killed someone. Just went up. Got knocked down went up again. Upward like a full sport mode. My saving grace. I was under a 100yr old tree. The drone went up, crashed, went up, crashed. 5 or 6 crashes. Was possessed. Never again wifi connect. Never. Never. Could have killed someone. Only occusync.
@@flywrightdrones dude right? Reason I got it so cheap is someone sold it to them, then someone bought it and said they tried everything to get it to fly and it wouldn’t fly, so I got it for 50$ followed the Manual step by step and it flies perfectly
Mavic Air is dead for 2022 because JI stopped selling batteries forcing people to upgrade to a better drone. I bought 2 extra batteries before they stopped selling them and still have plenty of juice for maybe next 5 years.
It is still a great drone and as for the flight distance it could have been a little better. However i never fly more than a kilometre from home ever. Do not see the point, as it can have serious consequences for those inexperienced pilots. Would i buy a Mavic Air these days ? Maybe, but only if it came with 3 batteries. As for buying extra batteries, the cost is mindless. Therefore i would not buy this drone.
I've had the drone since it came out. I've got nothing to compare it to it's the only drone i've ever owned but it does everything I need it to do. I like the styling and the special fly features.

Which app you use @dodgbugdogspotrobot3427?
It has the whole suite of features that some of the newer drones do not have. Amazing drone and I agree with your summary. 😃

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.
After watching many videos on all dji’s, as I’m new to drones I opted for a used mavic air on eBay
I love and still regularly fly my Mavic air, i have 7 batteries that have around 60 to 70 charges each, still get 15 minute flight times.

Hello, how was it with the mavic air? I have a mini Se and I wanted to buy a second-hand Mavic Air. thank you!
@diegomontoliu9876 the Mavic Air is a BEAST!!! Tough, fast and sleek. I upgraded to Master Airscrew propellers. You will LOVE it.
You will also need to spend $90 on a remote ID module to legally fly it
Is it possible you could lend me a hand figuring out a gimbal problem with this drone?
I like my Mavic air, but mine is getting pretty beat up.

Thank you my friend, I wish DJI had more colors for the Mavic series 👍
Mavic Air still looks better than any Exo drone
Looking to get one
I love the mavic air noise! Sounds like a stuka bomber
Covid put paid to all my video projects. I've flown mine twice in the past year. Still think it's a good piece of kit. I owned a Mini for a while and frankly hated it. The slightest wind would sweep it away. I almost lost it one day, the moderate wind drained the battery to critical and though I could see it, the ground was uneven with long grass. I did manage to land nearby but That was it foe me.
Of course I just recorded the county fair so amazing
I just got one for $150 with 2 batteries and picked up 5 extra batteries and charger for $75 from someone else. It was a deal I couldn't pass up

Just tried to use my drone after a couple years of innactivity and I cannot access the dji go 4 app anymore, is there another app to use now?
There’s always the Litchi App I guess
Hows the connection between remote and drone. I easily get disconnected and i couldnt fly it too far.
It’s seemed to have gotten worse over the years with more interference.
I last use my Mavic air in JAN 2020 How do I update my software? or do I need to?
Sadly there are no more firmware updates for the Mavic Air
hi ,, i have a question ,,which app should i install for the mavic air ,,,thank you.
dji go 4
i can buy a mavic air with 3 batteries but he says that the leg is damaged is that something that i should be consider about?

What is MAS?
@@clubme1019 master air screw, it’s a company that makes propellers that are quieter than the stock ones but I’ve heard they were lesser quality.

That's crazy bro I can get out 9,10 and 11,000 ft easily with mine on 5.8ghz...🤔
It wins mini, mini 2 and finally the mini 3 pro wins the air.
Your poor wireless connection was because of the wrong band. 2.4Ghz gives better distance.
The App automatically chooses the band with the least amount of traffic. I’ve tried both and in this area the range is still trash.
Mine fly upward and didnt stop. Lost all control. Fly away. It could have killed someone. Just went up. Got knocked down went up again. Upward like a full sport mode. My saving grace.

Mavic Air is dead for 2022 because JI stopped selling batteries forcing people to upgrade to a better drone. I bought 2 extra batteries before they stopped selling them and still have plenty of juice for maybe next 5 years.
You just saved me a bunch of headaches
I had mine replaced 3 batt but cheaper
No idea if they only recently started doing this but they seem to be selling them on the DJI store for about £70 (UK)
@@kurt_g4069 do you have a link??? I can't find anything in the USA 😢
@mighty690am The Mavic air batteries are $ 85 on DJI website.

It is still a great drone and as for the flight distance it could have been a little better. However i never fly more than a kilometre from home ever. Do not see the point, as it can have serious consequences for those inexperienced pilots. Would i buy a Mavic Air these days ? Maybe, but only if it came with 3 batteries. As for buying extra batteries, the cost is mindless. Therefore i would not buy this drone.
Flying Mavic air 2024. It's noisy drone but a good one
