Device description

Drone Mavic Air - a real engineering marvel. He inherited the best from the Mavic series: portable and high-tech - a faithful companion on any journey.
3-axis camera stabilizer
Mavic Air is the smallest drone with a 3-axis stabilizer for the camera. Shock absorbers neutralize vibrations, helping to get clear pictures.
Spherical panoramas
In addition to the vertical and horizontal panoramas, a mode appeared that connects 21 separate shots into one incredible 32 megapixel image at 180 В°. For complete immersion you can view them in DJI Goggles glasses.
Video in 4K at 100 Mbps
Mavic Air shoots unbelievable 4K UHD video at 30 frames per second at 100 Mbps.
Slow Motion Video
Mavic Air supports slow motion video recording, the perfect way to capture your sporting adventures (1080p at 120 frames / s).
HDR photo
Algorithms for creating HDR-photos adapt to changing lighting and help you select the correct exposure settings. The processor processes the illuminated and dark areas, creating natural transitions between them, and the acceleration of digital signal processing increases the efficiency of shooting.
Elegant lines
Rays Mavic Air fit snugly to the aerodynamic body. Seven side chambers are securely mounted on brackets made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the heat sink system will ensure that the drone does not overheat.
Folding case
Mavic Air - portable folding drone multifaceted design. When folded - no more than a smartphone.
Folding console
Convenient folding remote securely holds your smartphone. For more comfort, it also has a special place for removable joysticks.
ActiveTrack
ActiveTrack recognizes up to 16 different objects simultaneously and allows you to choose which one to follow. Due to the increased accuracy and greater set of working scenarios, your subject will always be in the frame, regardless of whether it runs, jumps or rides a bicycle.
Fast shooting
Six quick-shot modes: Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Asteroid, and Boomerang. No need to think about the composition - one button click - an amazing selfie-video from the drone is ready! Photos and videos can be immediately uploaded to the social network using the application DJI GO 4.
Smartcapture
With SmartCapture, you can control Mavic Air with a simple hand movement. Running, piloting, photo and video - all this is literally in your hands.
Tapfly
Want to fully focus on shooting? You need TapFly mode: mark the point on the screen and the drone will go to it. Select the required sub-mode: Forward, Reverse (Backward), Free (Free), or Coordinate and flight speed and shoot.
FlightAutonomy 2.0
FlightAutonomy 2.0 is equipped with VIO technology and consists of a main camera, frontal, rear and lower binocular optical sensors, infrared sensors, duplicated IMU modules and a group of computing cores. This system collects information from the environment, which is then processed by the processor, which makes it improves flight quality. Advanced Autopilot (APAS) allows the Mavic Air to automatically fly around obstacles in front and behind. Adventures have never been so safe.

So all the same flies on wifi for 4 km, it pleases :)

Where did you see 4 km? The maximum distance is written - 3,538 feet = 1,08 km.

[spo.oki]

In an open area, it’s quite possible and will fly further 2 km. You need to check. In the city, 1 km flew away, after a train flight, the connection fell off, but after a U-turn, it was restored. It was necessary to try to deploy and continue the flight

Got Air today. Flew for 20 minutes. After the Pro, the feeling is loud. But I attribute this to the fact that on the street -6 and the plastic was stuck at the propellers. Does anyone have experience using Pro and Air under the same conditions?

Air is the most edge of the entire range of amateur dji drones.

Today I flew. Not far from the Ostankino TV tower.

And please tell me how to turn on the modes that allow you to fly further, which are discussed everywhere on the forums? Naturally, the question is not about sports, I can do it all)

Posted on 02/16/2018, 16:22:

And such a question. I confess that I did not study the issue well before buying. The Pro was controlled by a radio signal from the remote, and Air, as I understand it, is controlled only via Wi-Fi? Accordingly, what is the need for the console in general, except for more convenient sticks? Further Wi-Fi signal?

ShB,Some confusion formed in your head. Air is also controlled and receives video control by a radio signal, this radio signal is organized via the WI-FI protocol. It is simply less protected from interference, especially in the city. So the remote control is definitely needed, it receives a signal and transfers it to the smartphone via wire

Perhaps formed. It was just very discouraging that the Pro flies for several kilometers, and Air for 500 meters (

[51sergei]

ShB,Nuuu, in a clean field up to two kilometers should, but in the city as lucky with interference. See message No. 129 there is a movie flight in the city about a kilometer. Is it really not enough for you))))))

That's why he and Pro. His radio signal is organized according to another protocol, faster and more secure.

Something seems to me unlucky at all. Three batteries flew today where they used to fly on the Pro. Very disappointed. Pro in this place flew a couple of kilometers into the distance and 300-500 meters up. Air above 100m disappears. Far the same 100m, at any height and the signal disappears. Of course, I understand that there are a lot of obstacles in the city, etc., but 100m is some kind of nightmare. Spark seems to me flying like that, but cheaper. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

51sergei @ 02.17.18, 23:16

It is a pity that this is not mentioned anywhere in the reviews ((

I always want more. And given the current widespread flight prohibitions, take off, fly away to hell and shoot there already is much safer than 100 meters from the start. And what can you take off 100 meters in general? Really selfie-dong (

I still look out the window and understand that the weather is mostly non-flying ...

Yesterday I flew at -6 and in the snow. No problems except range. The people, it seems, also fly at -15.

[Shb]

Duplicate your post from another forum.

I flew to the FCC. Reception is better. He rose to a height of 300, further lags in the picture. Far away at 900m, then, again, lags. He reached almost a kilometer blind and turned back. Anyway, the range of me, of course, disappoints after the request (

Now questions.
1) I correctly understand that channel. Do you always have to choose Wi-Fi manually now? When installing Auto, it automatically leaves me in 2.8
2) there is no switch to select 2.8 or 5.8? Only depends on manual channel selection?
3) which is better to fly? Channel stability is constantly jumping, which one to choose?
