Just got a mavic air !!

mitikoki · Sep 7, 2019

I just got the mavic air combo for my birthday, I opened the box but I think I want the mavic 2 pro so I haven't used it, I had the original mavic and I love the way this one looks but I'm not sure i'm going to be happy with the performance , am I being too picky?

Is this your first drone?

Picky? You haven't said what you want to do with it.

Of course not. You should go with whatever you need/want.

Per the OP, it's at least the 2nd.

No, this is my fifth drone, I started with a p3s, I’ve had a mavic pro before and I’m thinking this may be a step down but I like the looks much better than the mp2.

Not being picky. The M2P is in another class. Love mine.

You like the looks better? Are you going to fly it or display it in a case? The Mavic 2 is in another class of capability. Can’t really compare the two.

Can’t beat the portability of the Mavic Air

The air is fantastic, especially for the price. If you don't mind paying double the price, the is m2p fantastic. But if you're on a budget, or just getting started, the air is a great choice. If budget isn't a consideration, the m2p is worth it.

True, but I find the m2p in the fly more bag just as portable.

mavic air is not a downgrade it depends on how you want to use it. if you want more portability, Mavic air is an upgrade. but in terms of range Mavic pro is the way to go with ocusync. both has almost identical Video settings with slight edge on the air with added sensors and intelligent flight new shots. but with MAVIC 2 Pro, no Contest Go with mavic 2 pro Next level everything. youre not being picky if you have the money go get the best one.
