Today, the new DJI Mavic Air was announced to an absolutely astounded crowd. Designed to be put into a coat pocket and carried anywhere along with the remote, your phone, and all the other stuff you normally bring with you, the new DJI Mavic Air also brings with it a lot of technology.

One part Mavic Pro, one part Spark, all delicious

Great compact design; Clever obstacle avoidance system; Fun autonomous features

Average image quality; Short battery life is limiting; Wi-Fi connection can be flaky

When DJI releases a new drone it's a big deal. And the Mavic Air is no different. But it's not that big. The foldable drone is actually surprisingly small but it can still shoot incredible video and capture incredible stills like its big brothers.

Sleek design; small and foldable; 3-axis gimbal; internal memory; excellent controller; QuickShots to capture amazing video

Expensive

A tiny folding drone

Hard to crash; makes pretty video

Shakes in cold weather (Update: DJI fixed the issue

In the past couple years, you could ask a drone to be two things: good or small. But never both. The Mavic Air changes the game. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the Mavic Air wins the game, and things will never be the same.

Drone came broken from dji, do not buy! Their customer service team does not care about their coustomers even if they spent $1000 on a broken drone... very disappointing from such a reputable company. Take second thoughts before buying drones from this company (dji)

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
