DJI - Mavic Air

Try flying the air s in high winds. Then fly the mavic. Which one do you have a higher chance explaining to the client that you have to come back to fly at a different time?

I have 4 years doing this as a professional all over Texas. The hell I'm yapping about is experience. take your mavic air drone and put it in a high wind scenario and tell me what happens.

well i looked it up. There is it but its extremely old. So no i would not get a "Mavic Air"

I have the Air and really like it. If I was starting fresh, I might go for the Mini Pro. Get one of the devoted controllers with the build in screen if you have the budget. You can buy them refurbished. Connecting the phone is a hassle and has had more problems than not with potential data cable failures, phone batteries being low, etc. If you do go the phone route and your cable inevitably fails, know that you need a **data cable** and not just any ol' USBC cable to replace it.

What a fucking joke. I still have an OG Mavik Air, and while it's been rock solid and still works, I was wanting to upgrade soon. So Temu and the likes can ship millions of Chinese knockoff brands/items over daily, and some Chinese cars are hitting stateside now even, but drones......WOAH......that's were they draw the line!

3 lenses for mavic pro 2 lenses for Air <3 awesome products but so expensive :(

It was great on the Air 1!

No sede donde eres se requiere licensia pilot 107.Te recomiendo una viejito dji phantom advance tiene buen alcance como 2 millas y es muy fuerte.Tambien si quieres mas distancia el dji maveric.Yo tengo phanton y el fpv dji te los recomiendo.Yo uso mi phantom hasta para pescar en la playa.

Mavics are so good!

Throttle control and flying indoors definitely. If you have a drone without sensors that is. With a DJI mavic you have sticks like a game controller where both center.  If you want to get higher, you push the left stick up and release it (center it) when you’ve reached your target height.

Please be aware, that there is a complete world of difference between flying a Mavic and flying an analog FPV drone:    1. The Mavic is basically idiot proof when it comes to piloting alone. There are so many assistance systems which you don't have any on an (non-DJI) FPV drone. Is he using his current controller to fly FPV simulators on his PC? This is going to help a lot. If not, get him started - a few hours in the simulator help save quite some money as you don't break your drone so easily when you finally start.    2. Video quality on analog is absolute garbage compared to DJI. It like comparing a 1980's TV with a wonky antenna with today 4K TV with streaming. And I am saying this a someone who only flies analog.    Have your son check out this website: https://oscarliang.com/hglrc-draknight/ This guy is great and offers a lot of info for FPV. Like I said, it's better to buy stuff single and not in a kit.    It's quite standard to buy stuff directly from China in this hobby, for example from AliExpress or Banggood. Yes, don't expect fast delivery times nor great customer service. But the have stuff cheap and available. Do check the ratings of the vendors on AliExpress though!    If you want to buy locally, I can recommend https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk - already ordered a few times with them (from the UK to Germany) and was always happy.
