There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There are other more expensive options out there, but I've had it now for three months, and I've yet to crash it even though it has only forward, reverse, and downward vision. I don't do things that I would need upwards vision, and side vision would be nice, but I'm happy with my decision and got the most bang for the buck here.
As an amateur photographer, I'm super picky about image quality and lens issues. I can't believe the quality and sharpness of the photos and videos, and it's a fixed focus camera. It beats out most consumer cameras I've seen, although without any zoom. The 180 degree panorama (see attached) is my current favorite; I hope the image I attach retains some of the pop it has in full resolution. This image is straight off the drone as it was taken. This particular panorama mode takes 21 photographs and stitches them together to 8192x3290 pixels. DJI continues to add features with updates, so check with them periodically to see if something you want has been released yet.
I've only flown it about 2200 feet away, even though it's rated for far greater distance (10 Km, or 6-ish miles). However, I'm a bit nervous about losing it if I go that far, even though it has an automatic return if it can't connect to the controller. I've flown it in the badlands of the Anza Borrego desert in 110 degree heat, and that was really fun standing at the precipice and flying down into that valley. I've yet to have any gimbal problems or overheating in direct sun, which was a concern. It's also amazing to see how well it deals with wind (it's rated to handle up to ~23 mph wind). The videos are rock solid with that awesome gimbal, even when the drone is clearly compensating for wind--if it's low and nearby, you can see it tilting and moving against the wind. Amazing technology.
The real time image and video transmission has been flawless, it alerts me if I'm approaching a geo-fenced area like a local Marine base or an airport (even a small local air strip), it alerts if there is manned aircraft nearby, it can track a person in some of the video modes and in hyperlapse, I can go on and on. It is fun and impressive. I've even had it flying at its top rated speed of 42 mph.
One thing I would suggest is buying the custom hard case from Nanuk. Their cases rival Pelican and Storm cases, and they make one (linked here ) just for the Fly More combo. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any extra room for even one additional accessory, but it's still a great value.
** Update 8/13/2020 **
This weekend I got bold and flew the drone over a mile away while sitting inside my truck with closed doors, and without any communication issues. DJI also updated the firmware this week adding several features, including 4K hyperlapse, up to 4x digital zoom, and a safe flying mode that disables side-to-side movements since it doesn't have obstacle sensors on the sides. Digital zoom isn't usually that great unless you're Google, but it might be a surprise if it proves as good as the rest of its imaging. Even if not, you never know when it might be handy.

Image quality
I find that for me—shooting around dusk and dawn are ideal times of day because the sun is not front lighting the earth and golden hour shooting lasts only a short period of time. In general, I prefer to shoot within 2 hours after sunrise and before sunset. When it gets dark enough to shoot above 100 ISO for video, noise becomes apparent in 4K. The image looks great at 100 ISO. It falls in line nicely with what the whole line of dji drones can do in the mavic series. It actually looks better than the Mavic Zoom, less moire. They’ve put a new sensor into the Mavic air 2. The quad bayer chip is an upgrade from previous sensors. I think this may not help the resolution so much as the camera’s ability to see a wider range of light and dark. HDR mode is one of the benefits of the quad bayer sensor. However, I didn’t see any major improvements in the dynamic range between my three drones. One additional thing, and this is a known issue with HDR, is that the image becomes a bit more jelly like with heavy left/right motion because of how the sensor must double expose to capture highlight and lowlight data simultaneously. Still though, I like the image straight out of the box.
I think it’s a bit crazy that you can record 4K 60FPS on this camera.
There’s not a lot I can say about the DJI fly app other than it’s a nicely streamlined version of the dji go apps. It’s smoother and simpler. There is one function that I think is interesting. The fly spots is a cool idea whether you’re into doing what’s been done or knowing what’s been done and avoiding it. When that map has been populated more, I think it’ll be a unique tool to help people get closer to what they want.
The fly more combo includes a few things that I think are necessities if you’re not just going out for a casual flight. First, they give you ND filters. The camera cannot change it’s iris so the settings you change for your exposure are the Shutter and the ISO. Raising the ISO increases noise and exposing with the shutter too high creates this jittery effect to the action. All cameras deal with this so the ND is super helpful when you’re shooting in bright sunlight. If you’re trying to get nicer images and you don’t want to spend the extra money for the fly more combo, at least order the ND filters. They also include a USB battery adapter in the kit, which allows you to charge anything that uses USB off of the drones batteries. Maybe you need to charge a second phone and you’re nowhere near your car? Maybe you need to charge the controller? It’s a smart alternate use of the drone’s batteries
They’ve also smartly included extra rc sticks, iPhone cable and props in case you lose either. I rarely lose my gear, but if I’m moving fast, these small parts can easily fall down so it’s great to have backups. One thing to notes is that it takes the Mavic Air 2 Batteries a little longer to charge than the Pro, so it might be worth picking up an extra battery if you’re planning to fly a bunch in one day. However, with that said, I got about 30 minutes of flight time on my first flight.
The new controller is nicely streamlined. It appears to have joined the phone holder and antennae into one piece, which is great. It’s easier to install the phone on the new controller than the previous models because the controller clamps down on the sides of the phone that don’t have the lightning connector. I also appreciate the iPhone being placed above the controller. It’s easier to see.
There is one additional thing they’ve added to this drone that I knew was coming in the future and now that it’s here, I’m a little less worried about it now than when I first heard about it. ADS-B is an aircraft tracking system that is used in all modern aircraft now and keeps pretty formidably accurate tabs on where all aircraft are at all times. Just look on flightradar24.com and you’ll see how many flights you can track live with incredible altitude and flight detail. I thought the addition of the airsense chip that provides ADS-B for the drone might make it easier to track consumers, but instead it’s actually just a receiver that listens for manned aircraft. When a plane armed with ads-b flies towards the mavic air 2, the mavic warns the user through the app that the aircraft is on a collision course and tells the drone operator to move through the app. This is a huge positive development in my opinion. Right away, when I turned it on, I saw that there were planes heading my way. Frankly, if I’m flying a mile away—which I have with this drone—knowing all the hazards around me is essential. I don’t want to endanger people and I don’t want to lose a drone that I’ve spent good money on.
Overall, I think this drone is a good choice for shooters who need a quick and small drone but don’t have the resources for a bigger drone like the inspire 2. It’s smaller than the Mavic 2 Pro and still provides good image quality on H.265. I think if you’ve got $1000 to spend to go adventuring with it, this will enhance your experience. There are a lot of clever additions to this beast and it’s all packed into a tiny package.
I have a few tips for the uninitiated as well:
If you want to get the most natural movement to your videos from this drone, use the ND filters on a bright day. These filters will reduce the light hitting the sensor, allowing you to slow the shutter down for less choppy motion blur. As a rule of thumb, you want to expose your shutter at double the frame rate (ie 24fps, 1/48th of a second or 30fps, 1/60fps).
Professional hyperlapses have smooth, consistent movement and this drone can do a few moves on its own very effectively, like course lock for instance. I strongly suggest filming in non-windy conditions and to not use the free movement mode for the best results.
One last tip, you don’t even need to fly the drone to take advantage of its stabilized camera. You can fold up the arms and run around with the camera just like you would a regular gimbaled camera. It won’t record sound, but for those shots that don’t require sound in your edit, it’s a perfect hack for steady footage.

Image quality
I find that for me—shooting around dusk and dawn are ideal times of day because the sun is not front lighting the earth and golden hour shooting lasts only a short period of time. In general, I prefer to shoot within 2 hours after sunrise and before sunset. When it gets dark enough to shoot above 100 ISO for video, noise becomes apparent in 4K. The image looks great at 100 ISO. It falls in line nicely with what the whole line of dji drones can do in the mavic series. It actually looks better than the Mavic Zoom, less moire.

PD: El dron me llegó dos días antes de lo esperado y todo perfecto.
However, we actually ordered 2 Mavic Air 2's (Fly more combos) - one was for my daughter. The first one we received had Air Sense. When we decided we wanted to order one for ourselves, we just hit the "re-order" button assuming we would received the exact same drone. (This was only 3 weeks after we ordered the first one) It was the same drone of course however ours did not have Air Sense. We returned it and purchased one elsewhere. I had called Amazon to inquire as to why ours did not have Air Sense and no one could tell me why, basically it's hit and miss when you order from here. You might get one with Air Sense and you might not. It may not be a deal breaker to some people but to us it was. So just a heads up. If it has Air Sense the bottom right hand corner of the box will have ADS-B AIR SENSE on it. Like on the attached photo. If it doesn't have it on the box, then it doesn't have Air Sense. As far as I understand Mavic Air 2's sold in Canada and the U.S. should come with Air Sense.
I copied this information from another source:
“The DJI Mavic Air 2 has taken the number one spot in our list of the best drones you can buy, but there was a curious footnote in its official release – according to DJI, Mavic Air 2 units with built-in Air Sense (an alert system that detects nearby aircraft) would "initially only be available in North America."
DJI went on to explain that "due to supply chain shortages related to the coronavirus pandemic", a version of the Mavic Air 2 "will be available outside North America without ADS-B", which is the broadcast tech that Air Sense detects. The two drone models are, DJI says, "identical in all other aspects, such as flight and imaging performance.
