Given the limited flying time of most drones, you might want to consider investing in multiple batteries if you want to fully experience the flight experience of a drone. To get out of the ordinary with the Mavic Air, DJI offers the Fly More Combo for $ 999 / £ 949 / AU $ 1,599. It includes the drone, three batteries, a remote control, a travel bag, two pairs of protective propellers, six pairs of propellers, a battery-bank adapter and a battery charge concentrator. These different combos basically can satisfy all the needs from different users.
Even if the starting price is a high investment for a gadget with a range of 21 minutes, the improved technology housed in the elegant chassis makes the DJI Mavic Air very attractive, especially since it is less expensive than its big brother. And, unlike the Spark, it comes with its own dedicated controller, which largely justifies the cost.
Design and build
Compact and foldable form factor efficiency
The recessed gimbal adds protection, but the clip-on cover is awkward.
Removable joysticks on the redesigned controller.
USB-C port for data transfer only
The Mavic Air can look like the Spark in terms of size, but that's where the similarity ends. The arms of the new drone are foldable, like those of the Mavic Pro, bringing portability to a whole new level.
Perfectly folded in your pocket
Once folded, the Mavic Air can easily fit into a large pocket - think of cargo pants or a big jacket. Weighing 430g, it is heavier than the 300g Spark but lighter than the 743g Mavic Pro, and certainly lighter than a pint of beer. The drone zipper case adds to its small size - it slips easily into a backpack or camera bag with plenty of room for the rest of the gear.
