So, a different type of video today with a jump point for the more experienced. Let me know if this works for you... And comment below on anything else you love or need to watch out for on the Air. Cheers, Ian

Just bought one after owning the dji spark for 1 yr. Wanted yaw stabilisation, better battery plus 4k capable while still being very portable and this fits the bill perfectly.

After 5 years of owning the Mavic Air...it's going strong, the camera is still decent even by today's standards, and I've only had a few minor issues with it. The plastic part on the lower USB port of the controller (I've always used the larger USB port to connect the controller to my phone) loosened a couple of months ago and detached which left just exposed pins inside that USB port (DJI repaired it for $60), and one of my 4 Mavic Air batteries went into hibernation last year and wouldn't "wake up." Sent the battery into DJI, they woke the battery, no fees. The drone itself is still in pristine condition and flies beautifully to this day. I grabbed the Neo for my 13 yr old son for Xmas...otherwise the Mavic Air (v1) does everything I need and I see no reason to upgrade any time soon.

This Ian in London is truly the master of drones

Great video, just picked up a used Mavic Air flymore package. The guy only used it for under an hour I checked his app status and 6 flights. No crashes no damage plastic still on the remote and stickers on the drone, tag on the carry bag. Can’t believe it, only 500 CAD which is what I was going to pay for a Mavic Mini without the flymore package before I decided to check varagesale. Batteries are all healthy and all is well! I’m still blown away I managed to get an essentially new Mavic Air for the price of a solo Mavic Mini before tax. Really helpful is the increased weight to compensate for the crazy winds we get here in the Canadian prairies. Been learning all the settings and reading the manual all day today, going for my Maiden flight tomorrow morning. Thanks for the clear and concise video, without loud EDM music ten minutes of vlogging before getting to the content with some green haired “hype beast” youtuber subbed! We get around 4KM in Canada with the Air, is it different over in Europe?

Amalfi! If I ever go back there I'm definitely taking a drone!

Ian is, as always, the best at explaining how these things work in a clear and sensible way. I've had a mavic air for nearly the same length of time. It rarely gets used mainly because of where I live and the weather. I still watched this all the way through as I can still learn something. My ONLY gripes with this machine are: The screen text is too small (satellites) you should be able to change text sizes in the app. Almost EVERY time I turn the Air on there is yet another update! DJI you need to stop! SUPERB work Ian. Thank You.

What a gorgeous garden but thanks for just getting straight to it, No BS, no flashy intros and tacky music. Job done and i think i'll buy one of these things

[dronehawkpro]

I’ve watched everybody on here and Ian selflessly gives great advice and tips as a beginner this man is the best keep up the good work I learned more off one video than 3 months trawling 👌👌👌🚁🚁

Just about to get my first Drone Mavic Air and Stumbled across this channel, I must say Im realy impressed with the deliverence and explanation your a natural teacher and found this a very informative video thank you....you now have a new sub ;-)

[JakeLiddell]

I think your tutorial is the best basic tutorial I've found. Seriously, well done and thanks.

[scottmonkey]

Great tutorial, many could learn from your presenting skills! Very engaging!

[philipbristow]

Great intro to the drone, no wasted time examining the packaging unlike some other guides!

[acesnoopy]

I wish this guy explained every thing that I buy lol. Very thorough without the unnecessary. Great video

[rickymullane]

hope you and family are well mate i am still learning about flying your video are very helpful

[glen]

Thanks for the great video tutorial, just purchased mine from a friend yesterday and had 1st flight just now.

[jennythorpe]

Thanks for spending the time on this Ian. It gives just the right amount of information to get started without being overwhelming. Very well presented and clear. Looking forward to checking out your camera settings videos now.

[sonnycruz]

You're spot one with "people are never impressed with you or drones in general when they see one buzzing overhead." As a radio controlled flyer for that past 10+ years, even I am not impressed when a drone operator is flying one around/over people. Just not a good practice. Great video!!!

[lindseyjohn]

Very good information to learn and know!

[stevehetherington]

Just came across one of your videos, now binge watching them all, being a londoner myself I love your style, interesting and get over what you want to say, I've watched far to many American videos taking 5 minutes for 20 seconds of advice....keep it stuff.
