The DJI Mavic Air's folding design makes it great for travel while its 4K-resolution camera and three-axis gimbal capture nice-looking photos and video. Automated shooting options and obstacle avoidance make it easy to get good results fast
Incredibly portable
Very good video and stills quality
A cinch to fly
Dedicated joystick controller
Gimbal stabilized 4K camera
Robust obstacle avoidance
Plentiful intelligent flight modes
Compact and portable

The editors didn't like
ActiveTrack tracking didn't work reliably
Video was often oversaturated
Auto exposure slow to play catch-up
App menu system is still quite complex
Proprietary charger
Not as quiet as Pro Platinum
Flight time is typically between 15 to 18 minutes
So expect to buy extra batteries. Piloting by app can be frustrating
Especially on smaller screens. Obstacle avoidance doesn't cover you from the sides or top

Extremely compact, foldable design, 4K video and 12MP HDR photos, 8GB of internal storage
Proprietary charger, Not as quiet as Pro Platinum
The DJI Mavic Air is a small drone with big ambitions thanks to its powerful 4K video resolution, 12MP HDR still photos, and innovative foldable design. It's cheaper, but still a big investment for a gadget with 21-minute battery life. But you won't find...

Abstract: Slowly but surely I've begun to set my sights higher when it comes to my photography. Literally. I got my first real taste of aerial photography/videography a few months ago when I used the DJI Mavic Pro drone for the first time. A whole new world opened...
In the end, the DJI Mavic Air is the best drone I have used hands down. From the ultra-portable size (due to its compact folding ability) to the amazing shooting modes, you get everything you would want in a drone for under $1,000 with the Fly More Combo...

Redesigned three axis gimbal, Folding arm platform rocks, Seven on board sensing cameras, DJI Go 4 App is solid, New quickshot modes
No LCD display on controller, Expensive spare batteries, Limited range flying around interference
After including the Mavic Air in my travel bag for the past month or so, I can honestly say that I consider it the most versatile piece of photography equipment I carry. The capability to take stills and video from angles unobtainable with a DSLR on a tri...
Abstract: There's something to be said for a product so useful that when one of them flies away from you forever (RIP "MrSparky," my first DJI Spark )… you buy it again. And then when you fly another one into a tree on a private island and risk drowning and Lyme d...

Great video quality, portable, easy to use, many intelligent flight modes,
Expensive, relatively short battery life
Overall we think that the Mavic Air is a groundbreaking drone that builds on DJI's already impressive lineup of consumer drones. You'd be hard-pressed to find a model that can produce comparable footage in such a portable package and the Air is in a class...

Very easy to fly, Great photos and video, Innovative gesture controls, autonomous flight modes, Object avoidance
Hard to switch between camera modes in app
When the Mavic Pro came out, I thought DJI had made the best drone ever. With the Mavic Air, it's once again made a drone that's the envy of all others. The Mavic Air is portable, maneuverable, takes great photos and video, and comes packed with a number...
