05:40 this is the time we were waiting for

FYI- you are unfolding the arms incorrectly! You should begin with the back two, then move to the front two. This prevents scratching and drone damage. :)

You’ve convinced me to buy my first drone.

Watching the active track following Jake running through the park was not unlike watching the pursuit of a fugitive on COPS!

Great video! Great coverage on the features, etc.

Best review I've seen of the air 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[JoshFryer]

Thank you for making this a fun AND informative review. Some "camera" reviews can get boring, but this was not one of those. Love it!

Hi there, in your opinion do you think the slowed down high frame rate modes look shuddered and stilted? I noticed the image of you running in slow mo is fine by the surrounding background is very shuddery

[TravisNutley]

I love how the death metal music went so well with the footage :p

Bloody fantastic video, far out DJI are really pushing innovation in this field. The machine vision features and obstacle avoidance in such a tiny package is pretty insane.

Awesome video. I like Mavic Air and how well the gimbal has been built. Agree It has longer flight time than a spark, but I still think it's a bit to the low side. Definitely a nice machine

[TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Compared the videos side by side with Mavic Pro on my channel did not see that much difference between going from 60 to 100Mbps. Would have expected more.

*I hope the next DJI drone that comes out will have the side collision camera as well. I usually like to fly my drone side way when I film myself.*

Great review Jake! I really like the boomerang mode.

[MichaelHurdleStudio]

I ordered mine yesterday and can't wait to get my paws on it. this drone looks like it might replace my Phantom 4 pro. Really good video Jake and crew.

[markosusac]

Awesome e review, tnx! Planning to upgrade from my Sparky... By the way what the song starting 03:43?

[chrisdeantonio]

That guy looks like Chase Utley! Good review.

[delltek]

Will installing second battery on the top of DJI MINI and connecting somehow with the first make it drone fly longer, or maybe even better
sticking solar powerbank. Would love see someone trying it....

[suVenstump]

you can also take panoramic photos with the Mavic Pro ;)

Yes, a good video but many reports from users now indicate severe wifi interference unless you are in these wilderness situations. Would like to see these videos showing the wifi performance of the Mavic Air in something other than "wilderness" or open desert/water areas. I am very impressed with the "Air" and sorely tempted to pull the trigger on one. Just the wifi thing is a big question in my mind right now...
