Mavic Pro vs Mavic Air - Which to Buy 

*Hands down, the BEST comparison video between the Mavic Pro and Mavic Air I've seen to date.* Awesome job and I loved the boxing references! Well done!! I'm anxiously awaiting my 'Flame Red' Mavic Air which I should have next Tuesday. Can't wait to get the puppy up in the air. Oh, only one 'small' mistake (or mis-spoken) at the end of the video. You said the pricing as of Feb. 20th...but you meant to say Feb. 2nd, 2018. Great job again!!

I own Mavic Pro 2 years now. Done some great vids with it. Happy with googles. Now: 1. Flight time is important sure but 21 mins vs 27 mins is not a huge difference. 10vs25 is sure, but to make good shots you need 15 mins tops. Because this is why you bought it right? Unles you flying it for fun, but Pro with it's size and weight is not easy to control. Not as easy as Air. 2. Camera quality - Pro is slightly more sharper but colors are better on Air same as focus, gimbal is more stable and less fragile 3. You get 3 sets of sensors - I crashed my Mavic 3 times on the trees during intense shots and 3 of them where while I was flying backward 4. Distance - 4 km easy on Pro vs 2km on Air - but hey - believe me or not - never been flying more than 1,5 km during filming. For fun - yes I did set 7,5 km distance flight one way - I flew from my home to my friend. Never been so scared. 5. Controllers - Pro with screen , Air - without - fine Pro is better BUT to be honest - I always check battery level etc. on the phone not on the screen. You can fly Pro without connecting your phone? sure but so what if you can't see what you filming. you can do the same with Air + even better because it has gesture control. 5. I paid 2000 eur for Mavic and googles. I am selling it now for 1100 EUR 2 years later. Am I happy? yes because I just got Mavic Air and I can tell you straight away - it is better for non-professional filming and fun flying. 6. Pro - I will miss you, Air - long live the king :) ps. fantastic comparison and I agree 100%. ps. Googles are nice but you need to have nice area around you to use them. Flying low is very dangerous as you won't see cables or other small obstacles and Pro won't always detect them. They are heavy and chunky and you will get tired after top 20 min of using- I used them to watch movies - my neck was screaming to put them away after 1h... Anyways I recommend both drones, but my choice is now Air.

Great Review! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

I know the feeling of moving to a complete different city, that means leaving behind everything you know and everything you fought to survive for, it aint easy. But in the bright side welcome to LA my dude, you deserve a place and home for your family, you stuck to your roots and mission and life. That right there is a true inspiration of being a great human being. Wish you the best x

This is the best example of what a review should be like! THANKS for being concise, to the point, and WELL organized! LOVED the review and find it SO healthful!

If I already owned a Pro, I wouldn't bother buying the Air. If I owned neither, I'd definitely buy the Air.

Very well put together, good job Kelly :)

Thanks for taking the time to thoroughly review both drones. I just purchased the Mavic Air today from B&H. I wanted to get the FlyMore Package but they're on backorder. I've been researching for a few months and the Air looks like a clear winner amongst a number of drones in this category. I plan to take it to Vietnam and Thailand this summer, so I'll be trying to get well acclimated before my trip. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your current drone videos concerning the Mavic Air. You always mention good aspects, comparisons and present them absolutely authentically. The Mavic Air is going to be my really first drone. Thumbs up and greetings from Germany ✌🏼

This really helped me for when I can afford a drone down the road. I feel a lot more informed about both drones

The winner of this video is dji

Probably one of the best comparison videos I've seen. Thank you for your time and diligence preparing this video. You made my choice clearer, and I learned a few cool things on top of it all. All the best!

Such very comprehensive and many informative reviews are always highly appreciated. Thanks for your hard work and share.

Awesome video, great job Kelly well done...

Well done Kelly and I agree with you on all points, the mavic air is a fantastic machine. Only thing for me is the reduced flight time, but let's see. Also you could have mentioned the gimbal cover as this is a large improvement in daily handling

Best intro I've seen is a LONG time! Awesome review!

Great video! I've seen a lot of video comparisons, but I like your straight-forward presentation the best. I've been wanting to get my first drone for a while and have been up in the air (pun intended) about which DJI model to get. This has helped me in my decision-making. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences!

Hope this video gets the views in deserves. So well crafted and informative. So many Mavic Air videos out now but none have as much useful information as this video. Thank you.

Spectacular video too too good...subd keep it up by far the best review out there

As usual, brilliant. Thanks mate. I now have all the info I need.

Thank you so much for your in formative reviews. They are well delivered and very interesting. I appreciate what you do.

thanks, great review, bought the Mavic Air and love it. Cant get the thing to fly indoors though!

Just got the Mavair and it truly is the next generation drone much better quality in every department, some great points raised 👌🏽

I love your approach to comparing the two drones. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Good and comprehensive review.. well done mate

Dude... thank you so much for this video. I bought the Mavic Air and wanted to return it to get the Mavic Pro. After watching this video... I'm glad I got the Mavic Air. 👍

Thanks for the video. I have been wanting to buy a drone, now I know to go with Mavic Air

Best comparison video i have seen yet regarding these two Drones!

Very comprehensive video.. Great job as you gave me a lot to think about

For some of us that value range, endurance and signal strength, the Mavic Pro Platinum is the clear winner. If you add a less cumbersome goggles experience, the choice is even easier to make. The Air has the size and price advantage but I'm pretty sure the Pro handles wind better and is quieter which offsets the Air's edge. My 2 cents.

Awesome comparison! Thank you!

Only two words would be enough to sum it up - simple & precise . Thank u .

As always you provide a fair analysis of your topic with no slop in between. Great Job!

Thanks watched your vid and decided to get the Mavic Pro.

This is Great, I will buy Mavic air next month and all the answers are here

Thanks - really useful with easy to understand information.

Great comparison. Thanks for the info. Old but gold.

The pro when looking at the two flags looked sharper even some of the items in the background looked sharper

Great video, clear, informative, no crappy music, no over enthusiastic child, shouting and saying ‘awesome’ ‘rad’ and any other non sensical word, every 5th word, this is useful. I have the pro, its fine for me.

Thanks a lot for that comparison and a ton of info!

Im.leaning towards the mavic air.. I know range isnt as good as the pro ,, but have heard its still pretty good? Great review

hey ty so much for more info to drone :))

Great video, bro... very well put together and very practical comparisons.

This was very helpful and thorough.... thank you!

Good Video. I was just considering my own choices. All the talk up of the Air but the video examples of the Pro look better. More detail, sharper, more contrast. I see this in other videos too. What good is a faster bitrate when the video is not as clear. Thanks for the demo. Seriously, pause the vid at 2:16 and 2:45. Just look at the image quality. Mavic Pro seems warmer, not as cool blue. Look at the trees. Mavic Air video they are blurred, and on the Mavic Pro trees, fence, rocks on the railways, utility wires look better. MP looks better, sharper more contrast all around. Maybe 100 Mb/s isn't all it's cracked up to be in this version. Longer flight time, sharper clearer video and pics AFAICT. Mavic Pro on the way.

Excellent comparison video! I had assumed the "Pro" would be the better machine, but after watching your video, I'm pretty sure the Air is the better machine for my needs. Like and sub for you today. Thanks for sharing

You made my mind up for me. My C card is coming out now and is getting used to buy a mavic air i'm more of a sporty flyer so the movability is high on my list plus nimbleness but then another day i can use it on my friends wedding or on my website builds for customers. I think we will always (for more intense expensive jobs) keep a phantom 4 or a typhoon but, This bird will be my everyday one i go to use to quote prices on my aerial jobs up with for sure! Thank You again for your video. Well done!

Best comparision video I have seen so far, great job

AWESOME INFO THANK YOU GETTING THE AIR TODAY!!!

Happy to have an Air, just bought it.

Great video. This is the best comparison of this two drones that I’ve seen so far. Good job. Thanks.

That was very informative and just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thanks for great review :) I will still stay with Mavic Pro (Platinum) - and not only because I've just bought it ;) But for me flying time and especially noise are two the most important factors. I have to say Mavic Air is suprisingly good, especially in this price range. But fortunatelly Pro is still better in some important aspects :)

I have the Mavic Pro and its the best drone out there in my opinion. He showed the best feature on the Air compared to Mavic. But should have compared best features on Mavic to Airs Features..... Like for one..Stability in high winds and Mavic can get beat up by the natural elements and still perform like a PRO. but other than that... Great vid bro!! keep up the nice work.

This is truly a great comparison video thanks for all the great things you talked about

I just got my air today . I got it after seeing your videos. Nice review thank you.

waahhhh nice review! Finally I bought Mavic Air because of this video! That's awesome!!!

I still buy the pro even its old i like the range of mavic pro

Amazing comparison! Found it when trying to decide between Air, Pro and Spark. Thanks alot. :)

Thanks for the great review. This has helped me enormously, I'll be going with the Mavic Pro with the prop upgrades. Thanks again great work.

I think your review was spot on, really depends on what you want from a drone. I could not decide so ordered both.

Your clock has two sixes!

Such a great job with your explanations, thanks for sharing

This was such great info.Thank you so much! Thumbs up'd!

Distant and flight time are my major concerns so magic pro!!!!

1:07 The mavic air comes like “hi. im smol”

Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot to decide.

Yes it is! The best comparison video between the two DJI quads!

Very funny begining. Tanks for this video.

I actually Sold my Phantom 4 for the Mavic Air, And i couldnt be happier with that descision 👍🏻

Fantastic review. Content like this is much appreciated.

Well presented and very informative....Thanks for sharing your insights. Safe flying.

you didn’t mention the fact that mavic pro and air have totally different gimbal design. it is true that the air’s gimbal is more robust, but the pro’s gimbal can have wider angle of pan movement(30 degrees on the pro vs 12 degrees of the air), and the pro’s gimbal can rotate 90 degrees to shoot in true portrait mode. Although i agree that the air’s gimbal is more robust in terms of design but it still could not sustain damage from impact and a crash may cause it to malfunction. Plus the pro’s gimbal is made of metal vs plastic on the air, metal looks better imo

Great comparison video Kelly and I agree with your conclusion, the Mavic Air just beats the Pro by a whisker. Best Wishes and Thank You from the UK :-)

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Just got my Mavic Pro 😁

Thanks you for your nice videos!🙏🏻

Looking for best flight rang, best flight time and less noise? go for Mavic Pro Platinum. Looking for smaller size and more sensors? go for Mavic Air.

Mavic pro is for the more experienced pilot and the Mavic air is for the beginner pilot. Both great drones

Awesome clear comparison, with a nice roundup. Very helpful

One of your very best videos. Entertaining as well. Well done.

Thanks, you have made my mind up, Mavic Air it is. 👍

Mavic air is the best deal for the average consumer in my opinion. Even for someone who flys a drone for the first time. All the technology it offers make you look like an experienced pilot. I still wonder if it can avoid obstacles and change route while in active track mode.

Great video thanks very informative.

Great review and it really helped me to finalise the drone for my criteria. Thanks a lot

*expert* *question* : is'nt mavic pro preform better in slight winds also high altitude and distance ?

Word on the street is, Mavic Pro 2 will be coming out within the next several months... we shall see!

Thanks for a clear comparison on functions that matter. The best review for me trying to make a decision. Very helpful..

this is a great little video. well put together

You compare cameras but didn’t mention the aperture on the pro being larger, which has a large affect on shots where perfect sunlight is not available.

Very good comparison, but I still can't decide.I think I should wait for the Mavic Pro 2.

Excellent job! Finally a great comparison - I have now made my decision - Thanks!

Hi there. I bought the pro yesterday and I very pleased with it. Enjoyed your video.

Buy whichever you like and can afford. i'll just keep my Mavic Pro Platinum

Superb episode but round 6 made no sense because it doesn't exist in the Pro. A free round for the air. It like the pro has backward folding booms and the air doesn't.

We really liked your presentation style, comparison points were pertinent, you spoke well, clearly and slow enough to take in the information. Well done!

Great video!! Well edited and very informal whilst being fully informative thanks very much!!

Great videos, i just got my mavic air two days ago and i was able to fly it indoors by just using the hand gestures, i was impress how accurate it responded.I love your conclusion at the end because its so true. "the best Camera is the one you have with you"

The Mavic Pro is definitely a superior drone between the two. But that doesn't mean it's the best drone FOR somebody. Like you said, it's all about what you want to do with the drone. But as far as which one is better.... just simply take the 2nd word after "Mavic" on each one. That'll tell you everything you need to know. :)

Great video, very useful. Thanks.

Love this well-thought out battle, such a great video!
