    Pretty cool little drone by DJI! Flight footage begins at 10:45.

      You should test your Mavic after updating its firmware. Rumor goes that Mavics produced after april 2017 get fixed 60fps mode with version 1.04. My drone is from 2017 july and I updated it. Weather has been bad but I did run around with the drone indoors shooting at 60 and did no longer notice that weird aliasing problem ;)
      Theres also many videos on youtube indicating that the problem has been fixed for the lucky owners of newer Mavics.

    • @EdRickerVlogs

      satikass A few other people have mentioned that, and I went out to test the theory. There’s no difference for me, 60 is still bad news for my Mavic Pro.

    Regarding the Mavic Pro thumb stick protectors that are shown at 6:10. I've got an MP but I flip those over the other way. I was thinking that bar was for screen protection. If you look under the bar, you'll see that it's recessed where the screen is. Not a big deal, but that's what I was thinking.

    Such a great review, I would have to say a very accurate comparison. I just purchased the Mavic Air and started a channel to showcase the Australian landscape, after some more use I’ll also do a review on the Mavic Air from my personal experience.

  • @leesadrone7343
    @leesadrone7343 6 років тому

    Just had the first flight with mine, very extremely happy with it. But upgrading the firmware was hell, I started trying to update it as a 30year old and ended up at the end looking like Old Rose in Titanic. But watching it fly around perfectly with the wind blowing though my long white hair was worth it

    Just purchased the Mavic Air Fly More package - definitely worth the extra price with more batteries and accessories.
    As always - great videos, especially for newbees like myself. After getting an understanding of this machine and operation, am finally going to get it in the air.
    Thanks for your tutorials - helped me very much.

    Must say very good video and the drone is great. Had mine for awhile and I love it. Dji has so much more than my zino pro ,power egg or my new mini 2. I trust my mavic to do what I tell it to and it hasn't let me down yet. Thanks again for the videos and keep up the great work 👍

    I was very lucky to discover your video on how to set up the mavic pro when I first purchased it. I had never flown a drone till then and your video made everything so easy. I had the perfect set up with your suggestions. So first of all I'd like to say thank you for making me love drones by making everything so easy. I still haven't received my air yet as I live in Istanbul, hopefully should have it next week, would have loved to buy it thru your link but already got 3 🙈😄 I am looking so forward to your beginners video for air , so I can just adjust everything quickly without worrying if I should switch this on or switch this off 😅 Hope you do it soon please 🙏🏼😁 Once again thank you so much for helping me be a drone user 🙏🏼

    @SafariLifestyles 6 років тому

    May I ask are you seeing any warping on the horizon when you fly.... the reason is that some users like me are seeing this when you circle the aircraft whilst the horizon is high in the video.... I have just noticed what could be this in yours at about 11:35 when you start to tun the camera left, the horizon looks like it starts to warp to the right of centre on the horizon... more and more users are seeing this and I wondered if you had seen more of it... its more evident on a very flat horizon

  • @jostalking
    @jostalking 6 років тому

    Great Video - Trying to decide between the Spark vs Mavic Air. I had the spark and crashed it while shooting because of no rear sensors. I shoot mainly vacation videos, how annoying is the sound? The spark wasn't too bad at all. No one paid any attention to me, but I'm concerned about this attracting too much attention. Can you compare sound between the Spark and Mavic Air?

      Ben Thunder you haven’t made a mistake at all, your MPP has longer range, longer flight time and is much quieter. It’s essentially an upgraded Mavic Air :)

      Absolutely no mistake at all. I’ve had the mavic for little over a year and can’t speak high enough about it. I am very recreational in regards to level of use but it has far exceeded my expectations. I’ve actually been able to carry with me easily on a dirt bike trip and never had any issues.

    Thank you for this video! I was going to buy a Mavic Air for it's better quality camera and it's size. This would be my first drone. But, the noise! Wow! Is it possible to get a short video with the Air and the Pro together so we could hear how loud one is compared to the other? Maybe I should just wait and look into the Pro 2 when it comes out. It isn't that far away. Any ideas???

    Not a bad video but I clicked on it because I just bought a new mavick air and I have never flown before and I wanted to know step by step how to set it up after you unbox it, how to put in the micro SD card, where it goes, how to do the compus calibration etc.

    I have had bad experiences flying Mavic Air. My first MA suffered minor crash after losing contact with the controller (on the 3rd day)....IMU and accelerators errors (still with DJI service centre after I sent back 3 weeks ago). The second MA without any crash.....could not fly because of ESC errors.....also sent back to the seller (after only 2 days with me)

    @mikekay6288 6 років тому

    Thanks Ed; concise and helpful tutorial on this new drone. As there is no screen on the controller, DJI are forcing the buyer to use a phone or tablet and as DJI are biased towards Apple, does this mean us Android owners need to purchase an iPhone or iPad?

    • @EdRickerVlogs
      @EdRickerVlogs  6 років тому

      Hi Mike, no that shouldn't be the case. There are many examples of Android phones working with DJI products...though sometimes there has been app crashing and such. But I don't think an Apple device is necessary.

  • @russella5296
    @russella5296 6 років тому

    Just got mine and one thing that kind of freak me out a bit. When I was holding it by the body and turned on, the props moved a bit and I thought - what if the mavic went on, for some weird reason, I would have my fingers cut for sure. They are in props way when turning it on. I understand it is very unlikely to happen, but it did freak me out when they moved.

  • @vashon100

    Why would you do IMU calibration, when it was done under specific conditions at the factory. That should be the least required calibration.

  • @sekarbalasubramanian369
    @sekarbalasubramanian369 6 років тому

    How does the shoulder bag size compare to the dji bag for the mavic pro? It lookss similar or bigger in the video. Wondering if the flymore combo will be bigger in size to carry over the flymore combo of mavic pro.
    I see the case for the drone adds bulk to it whereas the mavic pro goes naked into the dji bag.

    • @EdRickerVlogs
      @EdRickerVlogs  6 років тому

      The Mavic Pro Fly More bag is more like a cube whereas the Air bag is more like a brick in shape...if that makes any sense. I think they both take up the same amount of space in that way.
      By the way, I don't use the small case when I'm using the bag. The Air fits snuggly in without it, so honestly it feels pretty much exactly the same, just a slightly different shape.

  • @ircqa3788
    @ircqa3788 6 років тому

    Question, as far as phone dji app crashing, I see it often on UA-cam. Is this an automatic pro towards the Mavic Pro/Platinum because of the LCD screen that allows you to still keep an eye on your drone? I'm new an considering Pro an Air. If the app crashes with the air, what happens to the drone, does it just hoover until app comes back up? Thank you in advance?

    @BillTheDroneReviewer 6 років тому

    @TimFitzwater 6 років тому

    Another great video. At this point I'm still happy with the portability of my Mavic Pro and I think if I did get another drone it would be in the opposite direction - a bigger drone with higher quality. If I were in the market for a fold-able drone right now though - this would be a tougher choice.

  • @shaniawlfgrl

    • @EdRickerVlogs
      @EdRickerVlogs  4 роки тому

      Hi, that's based off of your phone or display device volume. If you've turned the volume down on your phone that you're using as a display device with the controller, you won't get audible notifications like that.

    @bgm13 6 років тому

    Awesome video. Still can't wrap my head around the USB-C cable. The drone has a USB-C port but the RC has a micro USB port, very strange decision.

    • @EdRickerVlogs
      @EdRickerVlogs  6 років тому

      It could be that the Spark and Mavic Air controllers are from the same manufacturing "batch". Yes the thumbsticks are removable, but the controller thumb gimbal springs feel more springy. Perhaps the thumb gimbals are the only difference between the two since they're probably the easiest aspect of the controller to upgrade from an existing design. Not sure if that's due to a rush or just getting the most mileage out of existing controller designs...who knows?

    • @bgm13
      @bgm13 6 років тому

      Ed Ricker Vlogs either way, it was a bad choice. Loving every other aspect about the drone but that decision is just bizarre.

      It controls the shutter speed without having to dive into the menus. So with the Air, you've got to go into the Camera Settings to control it. Luckily that button in place of the dial is programmed to open the Camera Settings so it's still pretty convenient.

    Nice one Ed! Looking real comfortable, to the point. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. What was it?
