DJI’s new Mavic Air 2 is the best drone to buy under $1,000. It has smarter features, better image quality, and longer flight times than the first Air, but it still folds down into something you can easily throw in a bag. Vjeran Pavic has the review.

Which drone are you flying right now? Are you looking to upgrade?
Thank you for the detailed video about Mavic air2, I am planning to buy this😎
lame
Finally someone talking without going overly crazy over the new release of air 2. Keep it real man. Thanks
Need to upgrade my paper plane✈️
Can I use an ipad mini with the controller?
Hi, I’ve had a mavic pro for the last year or so, i just make amateur videos of the country side etc, the mavic air 2 appeals to me as it has better range and connectivity, flight time etc.… i’m just not sure if i would get much better videos if i upgraded to a mavic 2 pro instead of a mavic air 2 ? any thoughts would be appreciated.…. Thanks
Thanks for the review 🙂 Which would you say has better image quality between the Mavic Air 2 and Phantom 4 Pro v2?
Flying a Q500 its cant fault pictures or video. Was thinking of adding this to my arsenal but dont like the idea of using my phone. DJI’s smart controller is so expensive
Is the graphic depiction of sensor size correct… at 1:58 into video? Just curious. Thanks for making this review!
looking to get the mavic air 2 but will like to know can I zoom in on Objects in video or when taking photos
ive been flying the Phantom 4 Pro for YEARS ever since the black friday when it came out , been flying the same P4P at least once a week since , i have 3 batteries , 2 of which are PUFFED , one of the arms has stress cracks which I have fixed with glue and has stayed solid since , i still fly my P4P almost everyday, as i wait for the P5P which never came , never came , the Mavic 2 Pro seemed like a downgrade from the P4P , just the smaller size being the only real benefit for me , does it even do 4K 60P ??
so i bought the Air 2 and it should be here in the mail , I think the #1 reason i got it , is for the size but still shooting 4K 60p — the 48MP stills will be amazing , as long as my stock agency sites accept them as good clean clear photos —
let me know what you think , Does the Air 2 shoot the 48MP in RAW , and has anyone uploaded any of them to shutterstock or Istock or Getty and get them accepted???
Do you get choppy 4K video when playing back your video on your computer? I have a fast sad card and play my video on my Mac but the video is always choppy. If I make videos in HDR no play back issues.
People actually want this kind of review? Jesus the pics looks almost the same. Let’s chill
the cable that connects to the phone is horrible and unusable if u have a case on your phone
Any idea if DJI will be able to use a firmware update to allow the transmitter and drone to transmit the Remote ID the FAA wants in a couple of years? Or will the drone become obsolete?
New to drones been flying a VIVITAR for almost 3 months now and checking out upgrade options I’m wanting this Mavic Air 2 I’m impressed with it overall.
I bought a Mavic Mini in April as a ‘self birthday present’ and liked it a lot. But just bought an Air 2 to replace it and am very happy. Now you have to register sub 250 grams with CAA in UK, no advantage to owning a Mini I thought and like the extra perfomance, safty and (of course) camera!
HORRIBLE BIASED REVIEW! Out of all the employees you guys put this clown SMH
What editing app is that, that you using on your computer
Another great tutorial from you. Thank you so much for taking your time and expertise to do all this stuff. I’m still pretty new at this, so it’s a real help for me.
@Verge. I have been looking at buying a drone for years. I can’t justify an Inspire 2 because I am not a professional. I have been considering the Mavic 2 Pro, the Air 2, the Mavic Zoom and the P4P+… They all have their limitations. Now there is Skydio. I mostly want to make videos with some still photography. Is Skydio now the way to go? What do you recommend?
Like subscribe show
I am confused between the Mavic Air 2 or the Skydio 2 … Plz enlighten me a bit more .. thanks
Mavic air 2 is a great drone in this price range. The things you said about it mostly on your professional view that relay to your work and they are not important for most casual users. You focus mostly on camera. This drone has a tone of other things you can do with it and you are not talk about it at all. Your review is good but this review is mostly Good for professional users or photographers and not a person like me who use the drone casually. Even dji said this drone is not for professional users in term of camera. If you really want better camera you must go for more expensive one. This is simple. And you must always review the drones or anything else depend of the price of this drone. This is like i say why the 800 dollar led tv doesn’t have the quality of the lg oled tv with 5000 dollar price. I don’t want to bashing your review man you are very professional on your work but this kind of reviews are mostly for professional guys like you who want this drone mostly in advance photography or high quality movie making. Keep up the good work 👍😃
mavic air 2 first time buyer
The Air 1 is FUGLY
I have the DJI MAvic Air 2 and I love it. It makes me want to get better at my video editing skills. I am also thinking on purchasing a new drone-either the mavic 3 or the air 2s, still undecided.
Just picked the Air 2, while the drone is superior in every way to the original legacy drone Mavic Air 1 I do agree with you on the looks department. My Mavic Air in Flame Red is a Testarossa compared to the new variations! Love both my Mavic Air’s. NIce helpful vid as I am a new Air 2 pilot!
