Mavic Ray · Jan 23, 2018

DJI must have given Casey a Mavic Air to review:

Casey getting too fancy with camera tricks now and not enough review for me.

This dude is the real deal.

He does mention wifi issues right at the end, in comparison to the Mavic Pro. Definitely a concern of mine.

Still want one.

Sigh.

If only DJI could build a drone big enough to drop Neistat on an island where he'll never be heard from again.

I love iPhonedo but with each new DJI review he does it becomes more and more of **** kissing of DJI and less review. His Mavic Pro review was AMAZING and clearly done over a long period of time and the detail and footage showed, I think it resulted in DJI giving him the Spark and now the Mavic Air early and both reviews have been clearly done in a short rush to make the launch date. The new Mavic Air review was clearly all filmed the same day he got it and in terrible cloudy and dreary conditions (probably because there was no time, maybe he got it yesterday and had to work with what he had weather-wise) and so the whole thing is rushed and the comparisons he did are just a regurgitating of the DJI specs from the boxes and manuals. There is no real careful breakdown of the camera and drone performance from a personal perspective like he did in the past, just a rushed attempt to gush over the latest DJI drone, make sure his video was ready by today, and ensure he continues to get the latest DJI drones in advance. I still like his videos but you have to take all of these early videos with a big grain of salt...

His Mavic review is certainly the reason I bought it.

Agree, do not click his childish non sense!

All the reviews posted so far are from people who received early access to a Mavic Air directly from DJI. And who do you think DJI is going to send pre-release products? Probably not people who've made negative comments about DJI in the past. It's hard to be completely objective when given special privileges.

I wonder why none of these reviews are following FTC Disclosure Rules?

Yeah, there's a lot of "gray area" there...

DJI should fix the app before making more drones

tangoseal · Jan 23, 2018

All the reviews thus far are sponsored meaning they can't say crap thats negative.

The review itself is a pile of meh, but that opening 3 minute montage is the stuff of legend.

He used to be very clear with "this is not a paid review" but not a word about that in this vid... just saying..

Well they are paid by getting to keep the drone.

do you really think that he only get to keep the drone and is not paid? he got a million views in less than 24h, that marketing value is huge...

Oh I am sure he got paid. I really can't stand him though. I don't know why. Cant pin the reason why. Just something about em.
