Packed with features, including SmartCapture, FlightAutonomy 2.0 and Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems, the Mavic Air is an ultra-portable, foldable camera drone that delivers higher performance, more intelligent features and greater creative possibilities than any other consumer drone on the market.
Developed with the traveller and outdoor enthusiast in mind, the new Mavic Air inherits the best features of DJI’s iconic Mavic series, and adds to that DNA a 4K camera for superior image quality, new QuickShot modes, SmartCapture for easier, more intelligent photo and video capturing, and FlightAutonomy 2.0 with Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems for smarter, safer flight.
Weighing just 430 grams, Mavic Air is also the most portable DJI drone ever created. Its folding arms and propellers sit flush against its slender aerodynamic frame, making it so compact that its footprint is nearly the size of a modern smartphone when folded.
In fact, the Mavic Air is the best of the rapid drone technology evolution distilled; its recessed three-axis mechanical gimbal is suspended from dampeners to further reduce vibration providing superior protection and steadier shots, while a powerful camera housing a 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor and the equivalent of a 24mm F2.8 lens (on a 35mm full-frame sensor) captures high-quality photos and videos, whether you’re at home or on tour.

Mavic Air photographs crisp 12-megapixel still images utilizing new HDR algorithms that preserve more highlight and low light details, allowing you to capture stunning aerial pictures from sunrise to sunset. The new drone also shoots smooth stabilized 4K video at 30 fps, capturing the highest quality video of any DJI consumer drone with a maximum bitrate of 100 Mbps, onto 8GB of onboard storage space. You can even shoot 1080p slow-motion video at 120 fps if that’s your thing.
The Mavic Air is available in three colours – Onyx Black, Arctic White and Flame Red – from US$799.
