DJI Mavic Air Review - A rookie's perspective

03 March 2018
I’d been thinking about buying a drone for a long time and with the launch of the DJI Mavic Air, what better time to invest. So how did I get on?

    Hi Paul, great review, conclusions logical except for one thing... Could you pls somehow explain why should have footage with higher fps (60, 120) less details in comparisson to fps 25, 30. I can´t find one technical reason for this. Hi, Jaro

        Love the review. I like the perspective you take on it and it definitely helped me out when considering if I should buy. The only thing I was looking for more of is how the technical aspects match up but I found those pretty easily online. If anyone is interested in looking up these values you can find them at spots like:

        Otherwise; great content. I look forward to coming back here for more info.

          Great Drone, Great Review

            Lucky for you starting on the Mavic Air. My first is the Mavic Pro with the cumbersome gimbal cover, gimbal holder, and its fragile setup. The 1080p60 is terrible too.

            However, the Mavic Air only fixes that issue. I still want the hand held take off and landing feature of the Spark. The Spark can also be charged through USB. It could be useful for even more remote locations. The Spark is also the most cost effective but unfoldable arms.

            I also would like to have an option to transfer/move files to my phone through Wi-Fi. Plenty phones are powerful these days to handle those files.

            In summary, they're still not user friendly if they want mass adoption.
