DJI MAVIC AIR: 3-Axis, 4K 30fps drone

DJI wowed the drone world with the Mavic Pro ($999), followed by the Spark ($499), and now the AIR ($799) which sits in between both its predecessors in terms of size and pricing. The AIR trumps the Spark with its 4K video camera versus the latter's 1080p HD capture capability, that can take super-cool 32-megapixel panoramas. The 12MP stills camera (same as the spark) is mounted on a newly designed, three-axis stabilising gimbal as opposed to the Spark's 2-axis gimbal for steadier shots.

HDR Photos

New HDR algorithms help you obtain the right exposure settings intelligently, according to lighting conditions. Overexposed or dark areas are processed for more natural transitions between highlights and shadows, while DSP acceleration allows for more efficient shooting.

8GB Internal Storage

In addition to a Micro SD card slot, 8 GB of internal storage let you save photos and videos directly to the aircraft and export files through its USB 3.0 Type-C port. Expressing geometric precision, the Mavic Air's arms fold flush against its aerodynamic chassis. Magnesium alloy brackets reinforce the seven onboard cameras, rear vents dissipate heat efficiently, and the primary gimbal camera is recessed for better protection. The camera and gimbal are protected by a protective shroud. As tall and wide as a smartphone when folded, the Mavic Air is an ultraportable drone that stretches the boundaries of what's possible for a device its size.
