3-Axis Gimbal Camera
The Mavic Air is the most portable DJI drone to house a 3-axis mechanical
gimbal, with its angular vibration range reduced to 0.005°. Set in a triangular
formation, gimbal dampeners help create even steadier shots.
The Mavic Air's onboard camera integrates a 1/2.3" 12-megapixel CMOS
sensor and an f/2.8 lens with a 35 mm-equivalent focal length of 24 mm to
shoot high-quality photos and videos.
32 MP Sphere Panoramas
In addition to Horizontal, Vertical, and 180° panoramas, the Mavic Air stitches
25 photos together in just eight seconds to create crystal-clear 32 MP Sphere
panoramas. View them from an immersive perspective with DJI Goggles.
4K100 Mbps Video
The Mavic Air shoots video at an incredible 4K 30 fps, recording at 100
Mbps to capture every second with UHD quality.Slow-Motion Video
With support for recording 1080p 120 fps slow-motion video, the Mavic Air
captures all your epic high-speed adventures.
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.
8 GB 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.
Geometric Elegance
Expressing geometric precision, the Mavic Air's arms fold flush against
its aerodynamic chassis. Magnesium alloy brackets reinforce the seven onboard
cameras, and the primary gimbal camera is recessed for better protection
while the rear vents dissipate heat efficiently.
3D Foldable Design
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.
Foldable Remote Controller
The dedicated remote controller uses a foldable, low-profile, ergonomic
design to hold your smartphone for maximum convenience. Detachable control
sticks store inside the remote controller to pack more comfortably on the
go.
ActiveTrack
ActiveTrack can sense up to 16 selectable subjects simultaneously, letting
you choose the right tracking subject on the go. With higher tracking precision
and broader scenario applications, ActiveTrack can follow targets even when
they're running, jumping, or cycling.
QuickShots
Choose from six different QuickShots — Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Asteroid,
and Boomerang. All are just a tap away and will get you those epic selfie
drone videos without needing to think about composing your shot. Share your
new creations to social media through the DJI GO 4 app instantly.
SmartCapture
Fun, simple, and intuitive, SmartCapture offers a new and interactive way
of controlling the Mavic Air by hand. Launch and control the drone with
hand gestures, then take photos or videos however you like.
FlightAutonomy 2.0
FlightAutonomy 2.0 is the result of the Mavic Air's powerful vision sensing
system. The aircraft observes the surrounding environment and learns its
orientation, achieving comprehensive protection. Your grand adventures of
discovery have never been so safe and easy.
Flight Performance
21-Minute Max Flight Time
The Mavic Air Intelligent Flight Batteries are high-density lithium batteries,
offering a substantial flight time of up to 21 minutes for all your adventuring
needs.

● Remote Controller
Can I connect my smartphone to the remote controller using an ordinary
USB cable?
Yes. You can use an ordinary USB cable to connect your smartphone to the
remote controller via the USB port at the bottom of the controller, but
this may result in more discomfort when handling. Different cables come
with the aircraft to meet your needs.
Where can I find the Mavic Air’s Wi-Fi name and password?
For safety reasons, every Mavic Air has a unique Wi-Fi name and password.
These are listed on the side of the aircraft body, in the battery compartment,
and on the carrying case. (For iOS systems, iOS v9.0 or later is required.)
Connect your smartphone to the aircraft’s Wi-Fi by scanning the QR code
with DJI GO 4 app for first-time use. Alternatively, you can manually type
in the Wi-Fi name and password.
How can I change the Mavic Air’s Wi-Fi name and password?
First, connect your smartphone to the aircraft via Wi-Fi. Next, enter the
DJI GO 4 app and go to Wi-Fi Settings to change the Wi-Fi name and password.
You can also change the Wi-Fi name and password with DJI Assistant 2 on
a computer.
Is it possible to connect to the Mavic Air’s Wi-Fi by using a third-party
app to scan the QR code?
No. You can only scan the QR code to connect to the aircraft’s Wi-Fi using
DJI GO 4.
● Propulsion
Should I take the propellers off when transporting the Mavic Air?
Doing so isn’t necessary.
Why does the Mavic Air use non-foldable propellers?
The non-foldable propellers are more streamlined, making the Mavic Air smaller
and more portable when folded.
What is the highest level of wind the Mavic Air can resist?
The Mavic Air can withstand wind speeds up to 10 m/s.
What is the Mavic Air’s max service ceiling above sea level?
16,400 ft (5000 m).
● Features
What is the maximum control range of the Mavic Air in SmartCapture?
The control range is 8.2–19.68 ft (2.5–6 m).
What Panorama modes does the Mavic Air support?
The Mavic Air supports the following panorama modes:
Vertical: The camera automatically takes three vertical photos, stitching
them into one panorama.
Horizontal: The camera will take nine photos from different angles, stitching
them into one panorama.
180°: The Mavic Air automatically rotates its body and gimbal shooting 21
pictures, stitching them together in DJI GO 4 for a breathtaking 180° panorama.
Sphere: The Mavic Air automatically rotates its body and gimbal to shoot
25 photos, stitching them together for an eye-catching spherical panorama.
When flying the Mavic Air close to me in SmartCapture mode, why does
the aircraft remain at eye level?
SmartCapture only allows the Mavic Air to fly at eye level when it’s 9.8
feet (3 meters) or less away from you. This is to ensure better flight safety
and control precision. You can gesture to fly higher or lower when it’s
farther away from you.
● Batteries
Can the Mavic Air Battery Charger be used to charge the aircraft and
RC at the same time?
Yes.
What is the Battery to Power Bank Adaptor used for?
Turn on the Mavic Pro in Wi-Fi mode, press the linking button and hold for
5s.
What functions does the power button perform?
The power button powers on and off the battery. To do this, press it once,
and then press again, holding it for at least two seconds to power on or
off the battery.
The power button also allows you to check the battery level. To do this,
press the power button once and observe how many LEDs light up for the power
level.
How long does it take to charge a battery fully?
It takes 55 minutes to charge a battery fully when using a standard USB
charger or a Charging Hub.
How often should I charge my batteries?
It is recommended to charge batteries at least once every three months fully.
● Updating Firmware
Can I use other apps while updating DJI GO 4?
No. If you do, the update will fail. You will then need to download the
firmware and update again.
Why does DJI GO 4 remind me to reconnect to the Mavic Air’s Wi-Fi
right before it restarts to complete the update?
Before the update is complete, the aircraft will need to restart. Once it
does, reconnect your mobile device to the Mavic Air’s Wi-Fi. DJI GO 4 is
just reminding you that you will need to do this for a successful update.
Can I disconnect from the internet once the firmware is downloaded
successfully?
Yes.
What should I do if the aircraft and battery firmware versions are
inconsistent?
Connect the Mavic Air to DJI GO 4, and the app will inform you of appropriate
updates to ensure consistency.
What factors could lead to an update failure?
a. Low-battery level. Make sure the battery level is higher than 50%.
b. Powering off the Mavic Air or the remote controller during the update.
If this happens, please restart the Mavic Air and the remote controller
and begin the update again.
c. Internet disconnection when downloading firmware.
d. If update failure persists, or the remote controller does not link with
the aircraft, there may be firmware inconsistencies between devices. In
this case, use DJI Assistant 2 on your computer to update your aircraft
and the remote controller to the latest versions separately.
