Great 1st Drone

My advocation is photography. I looked long and hard for a small and versatile drone for specific images that I want to capture. The DJI Air fits the bill.

My favorite Drone

This is a wonderful drone. It's easy to transport and quick to setup. Though I have only been able to fly for 19 min., I have found that this is still plenty of time to get the shots I planned to get for each session. The video quality is clear and bright. The camera is quite nice! I have flown this Mavic Air in very high winds and it handles the strong winds extraordinarily well. I was worried about that before I had one. It has also proven to be very easy to handle even though it is a very fast and agile drone. I suggest that any buyer buy extra batteries and ND filters to use during bright days. The Mavic Air is great and easy to use drone! I love this drone!

Beginner Looking for Top Quality? Get this one

If you want a top quality drone and you are just getting started, get this one. I bought when the price dropped and after researching it for months. A lot of trusted pros I follow recommended it and it was right my sweet spot as far as price and capability. Let me say, it’s an amazing piece of equipment. It’s so smart and the tech is impressive, yet, it’s very easy to use and I don’t fear flying it at all. I am also confident that it’s not going to crash due to beginner error. If you want a top quality drone and you are just getting started, get this one.

Impressive portable drone!!

Owning the Phantom 4 Pro as my primary use drone for years, the biggest downside that stood out was always its portability. I finally made the decision to pick up a Mavic Air to use in a complimentary role for shoots that require hiking or travel. Of course, the image quality, flying time, and remote controller aren’t as good as the P4P, but I knew that going in. In every other aspect, this little thing is amazing. It is ridiculously small to the point where I can carry it in a jacket pocket. It handles the wind well and after adjusting to the controller, it flies like a dream. By turning down the saturation, contrast, and sharpness in Cinelike mode, you can achieve footage that is close to D-LOG. So far, I have no complaints about this drone. Good price for a super portable and high quality drone is about as much as you can ask for. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants something they can take on outdoor and travel adventures.

Amazing technology, but is let down by short battery life.

Simply amazing technology that works flawlessly. However the 20 min runtime on the included battery is far too short as “20 minutes” is under ideal conditions. Running in cold weather, at higher altitues, or faster speeds and you will get a “return to home” warning at about the 15 minute mark. All to say you will need to plan on an extra $80 for a second battery or $100 extra for the “run more” kit.

All you need in one kit.

Great DJI kit. Comes with all you need to fly, adorama included the two additional things to improve it, an SD card and a landing pad. They also included a loewpro case but I think I prefer teh DJI case anyway.The only drawback is the left antenna on the DJI controller is a little floppy. Having done some research this is a very common issue. It doesn't have much impact on actual use but is a little disappointing considering the super high quality of the rest of the kit (USB ports on the power brick to charge phone and controller? Genius!)

he DJI Mavic Air is impressive

The DJI Mavic Air is impressive. I’m hopeful that it will stand the test of time and be able to withstand daily use for roof inspections. I was very impressed with the price, overnight shipping, and FREE promotional items offered by Adorama.

Awesome photo drone

I could not be happier with the Mavic Air. It is a dream to fly and takes great still pictures as well as videos. It does require some familiarity with the basics of flying an RC aircraft as well as photography and videography. I highly recommend the Fly More combo with the additional batteries, it really is a must. I would not recommend it to someone who is new to drones and photography but for someone with some basic skills this is a fantastic drone.

DJI’s Mavic Air drone is for me!

I have had 3 other DJI drones, a phantom 1,2,and phantom 3 SE. This little drone is by far my favorite. It’s fast, responsive, stable, takes great pictures, and most of all it very small. Of course it doesn’t have the very long range of the LightBridge models but plenty for my use. I very rarely go over 2000 feet away. The controller has more range the the return video. Did I say it’s a very small package the drone,controller,three batteries, charger, and cables fit in the furnished small lunchbox size carrying case. My opinion is for the money you can’t go wrong. I don’t normally say this but I love this little Tasmanian devil drone!??

Sky’s The Limit

My first drone that I own & I’m infatuated. There were plenty of different bundles I could have chose from. But I knew this one with the extra battery, was the best choice. From the gimbal camera-to- the extra intellegent flying features. The Mavic Air is the perfect drone whether you’re a beginner or an expert. No Regrets.

Awesome Adventure Tool

The combination of image quality and portability can't be beat with this drone. I just returned from a trip to Switzerland, where I was able to capture some incredible shots. The only downside is that transmission can drop due to interference.

A pocket sized beast

I switched to the Mavic Air from my Phantom 4, and it was absolutely the best decision. I was nervous about handling winds, but after flying in some pretty intense weather with it, I haven't had any issues and I have been blown away (pun intended) by the Mavic Air performance. Would recommend to anyone

Nice Bundle

Nice bundle, included bag is made for the mavic pro and does not really fit the drone and battery properly, but you can add paddings to make it work.

Great for the price

This is my first drone and I found it very easy to get up and running quickly. Do I wish the drone had better battery life and distance, of course! But that has not swayed from getting some great footage so far.

Poor Support

Almost everytime I change the battery it has trouble knowing if it's got the latest firmware. I contacted support and that was a waste of time. Receive 0 help[. Finally got it flying, but it seems to go thru battery life really quickly. Will have to time this. So far fun and I hsve not crashed it.
