I'm a freelance visual journalist and after several requests for aerial footage and photos, I dipped my toe in the water with this Mavic Air. first of all, it was easy to set up and get going. After registering with the FAA and getting my commercial drone license, I've been collecting aerial shots for about a month. I know there are drones with better cameras and more advanced stability, but so far so good. Most importantly, clients have been happy with what I've delivered. I may upgrade to one of the other DJI models with a better camera at some point, but for now - and for the price - it's great to explore drone photography with this unit. An added plus is the size - drone, controller and extra batteries all fit alongside other gear in my large camera backpack when I need to fly somewhere on assignment.

Love this drone. First time flying a drone and this is small and compact, it’s easy to operate and when in sports mode it’s super fast and fun. The camera is great for video and I use it professionally for film shoots.

My 2nd quadcopter. My family purchased a cheap (~$140) one for me that didn't last 2 days. It was unstable, impossible to control and after my son crashed into a fence, it was toast, and no parts available to repair. This Mavic on the other hand is rock stable, easy to control, stays put while you think about what you're going to do next. The videos it produces are stunningly sharp and steady. There is a bit of a learning curve with all the features it offers, but you can start out in beginner mode for a quick start and then check out youtube tutorials to learn more later. Great fun and highly recommended.

This drone was an easy choice! It got the best reviews, was small and compact & easy to fly. Once I watched all the videos I could to learn what to do in a lot of different scenarios I was able to fly it. It took me through all the simulations and I felt like I knew what I was doing before even doing it. The pictures it takes are unbelievable too!! I would definitely recommend DJI and their drones!!!

Being the owner of this drone and a Mavic Mini, my former drones being a Spark and Phantom 3 This drone is indeed a great portable well built bird. Battery Life is about 15 to 16 minutes on windy days and up to 20 on a normal day. Photo and quality are outstanding , as well as easy to use ! I highly recommend this drone !
