3:25 "It produces some sweet looking 4k" then KZfaq proceeds to chew it up with its shitty encoding.

Love your videos kai, you do a great job

Lovely shots and views of beautiful Norfolk.

Makes you wonder if they’ll add a side sensor to the next version, or keep that function for higher end models.

Was that Happisburgh lighthouse I spotted around the 3 minute mark? Currently my desktop wallpaper 😂

I flew my Air yesterday again after a long period and I really enjoyed it. I really like the compact form factor, I like the looks (looks cute) and okay the battery is a bit shorter but I can live with that. And I still have a lot to learn to make real cinematic videos. So, no upgrade for me

I used to live near that lighthouse at Happisburgh in North Norfolk, and Cley, and Wroxham and Blickling Hall

Does iPad Mini fits the Air 2 controller ?

I drive a dump truck and sit alot, so I fly my air and mavic 2, and I really do still enjoy my air very much, I feel its easier to use, but loved the video, it was very helpful. One thing I would add from experience, the fixed antennas are a mistake i would describe the change as temporarily more rigid, but from toting i. Dumptruck even in Smart tree case, the antenna breaks. I'm currently exploring soft antenna and simpler landing gear for mavic 2.

Real question is do you have the same features with just using your phone or recommend buying the smart control?

Thanks Kai baby. Another ripper video

brilliant review sir!!

Helpful, thanks!

please tell me that wasnt the balcome viaduct! :( and did u follow the drone code?

Does size matter?

Hey tried to use your squarespace link but their dodgy website won't work in any capacity. Psh.

Kai long time fan here. I absolutely love your input and humor. Keep on being you my online friend!

Funny how the _J_ in _DJI_ is pronounced as _G_ 😂

I am actually very surprised by the 1080p quality. To me, it looks even better than 4k, because 4k on this drone is way too oversharpened. @Kai W, can you confirm that the scenes from 6:29 are definitely shot using 1080p? If so, the Mavic Air 2 is a buy for me.

hello...my fellows and friends...My DJI Spark flew away in the wind in Nov 2019. I was so distraught and shocked, I decided to leave it all. Now i want to try again...but this time I am looking at the Air or Air2. My biggest fear is 'flyaway' ..Can anyone tell me if the connectivity issue is any different for the Air vs Air2?

I new to the realm of drones. Someone is selling the first one for $800. Should I get that or pay for the Mavic 2? Thanks

Is this better than the mavic pro platinum from 2017?

can you put in activ track air 1 and air 2 .....but in the same time ? you will be the first to do that. please!!!

Fav KZfaq channel

Great video

Amazing KAI W

Tried the tracking and it flew straight into a tree on the first day I had it. Second flight it returned to home onto a tree.....yeah the sensors leave alot to be desired.

I dont have any drone, I´d like to buy - What is better ? Mavic Air 1 Fly more combo or Mavic Air 2 standard edition ? I just make litle jobs and just need a good images for my videos.

“Wow” - Owen Wilson

Honestly, I would take the Mavic Air 2 over may original Air even just for the Ocusync 2 controller. The wifi sucks. Yes, you can get like 500m on a plain field, but you get strong interference warning even at like 50m, when there is a house, tree or just a bunch of WiFi hotspots in the area (I guess). It is so annoying and I had a few close calls, when it just took over control and started coming back, ignoring trees and power lines. Also the larger sensor for stills would be nice.

I sold my air already . I hated how it disconnects intermittently and its uncontrollable yaw . I bought the flymore pack and still flying without any flaws so far . The only thing i hate is the fly app . Have to relearn from go 4

all in all looks like great upgrade, but Ill stick with air 1; I like that gimbal is actually protected by body in case of crash and controller is smaller as well as drone as pointed giving it smaller overall package when traveling, other thing is I think Air 1 arms looks more tougher to brake (maybe coz of the lenght). Shame it fly's only about 15 minutes tho but Ive got 4 batterys so Im kinda good for about an hour flight. The only advantage I would change for is Occusync and battery life, but that does not give me anough pros to upgrade...

2:59 the pitch motor of the gimbal having seizure

Neat! Lets go! :)

I got square space now :D

seems twitchy at 3:00 mark. heard other reviewers mention this gets pretty bad

Man you are the best reviewer in youtube ever ❤️

Wow, stunning scenery, where was this shot at?

can i fly the Air 2 using just the smartphone>??? (without the big a55 controller)

5:05 Your thinking of a Bidet my Friend

You're right👋. With the Air the big point was all the great tech in a size you could fit in your pocket. Along with the selfie emphasis with the gesture control etc. The Air 2 is non appealing to me

I was not expecting that voice to come from him

Happy with my air 1

The things that anger me most are: 1) changing the app to DJI Fly - this stops sideways compatibility of the DJI Crystal Sky which I used on both my Phantom 4 Pro and original Air, 2) these products are NOT cheap, and DJI seem to care only about the next new product, not existing customers. Constant battery design changes does not = environmentally friendliness as we all collect up now obsolete batteries as the new drones get released. By all means redesign the drone, but find a way to enable backward compatibility of batteries. Instead what DJI do is make the battery a part of the overall design, and all that does is ensure their pockets are filled with new sources of battery revenues too. 3) mobile phones are less stable to use than a CrystalSky - so why up until now have DJI refused to release Android 6.x upgrades for it? And those of us who own them shelled out between £500-1000 for one!

im so glad that troughout this whole shebang my country never was so dumb to think a curfew helps... we had lockish downy things but thats just for busines - you where never forbidden to go out for a walk/hike etc. :D

Wait , so this is not your Mavic air 2 videos?

The Boston Air reminds my of that Boston Dynamic's robot

You will hit 1 million subs before 2021

legal to fly outside my bedroom?

Where was that lighthouse? Looked like Portland or something.

Hope Lok is ok in Hong Kong.

looks a bit toy ish to me then other older drones of the mavic. Maybe there trying to make it a little crash resistant.

Dereham windmill is the last thing I expected to be seeing in this video.

Kai, what do you think about the situation in Hong Kong?

"Automated bumwiping machine" Well... there's bidets, which are superior.

Is this like the ones from the king fu movies were it’s dubbed? This is super awesome work..it looks like you’re the one actually speaking...where’s the English man doing the talking? 😂😂😂

5:05 Give a bidet a go

wow

hi

Well, there will always be better technology then the previous one today it's Air 2 tomorrow it will be Air 3 .. I have decided between pro, spark & Mini - "Mavic Air" fits in will all checks !! obstacle avoidance, 4K , small and durable .. I am happy with Mavic air !! As a hobbyist its more then ennough and a great one time investment

Original Mavic Air looks better to me, dynamic range better, colors better, and more accurate picture. Mavic Air 2 picture has too much extra detail... too much contrast, extra sharp... but Oculus 2 and 30min. fly time looks great!!!

Kai drop tips!!

Nothing like. K video without a little thrust action

I prefer to just have the sensors off when flying, its very annoying when you are trying to film close and the sensors keey trying to stop the drone and ruins the shots... its easier to just learn how to fly your drones

Kaiwen Wilson

🤯 what happened to Kai's eyebrows? They look so grey... Maybe the mighty Kai is getting "wiser"? 🤔

Yeah drop the drone 😆😂

I wouldn't say no if someone wanted to give me one : p

"Tweakers"😂😂😂

wooow

Castle acre definitely looks better from above.

eyyyy i was at same spot in england

1:02 bruh my heart

Drooooooppppppp ittttttt

Pity you can't use the iPad mini with the Mavic Air 2 controller

How do youtubers manage to make things look small and light?! The air 2 is bigger than what it looks like in his hand, so is the controllet

That drone missing something in EU that US version have... you didn’t mention plane detection function.

you fly through water ? you mad man lol

Another thing... Go into Sport Mode and the camera becomes useless as it always pitches down on the Mavics

What mic is he using for the voiceover? Granted his creamy voice is what makes the audio sound good. That’s cheating.

The new mavic is 2 times better than the original.

First in the USA

I’ll stick with Air for now 😬

Won't be upgrading anytime soon. #1...I hate flying with a phone! Can't see shit, questionable brightness and no detail abounds. With the MP2 can fly with CS monitor and oh what a difference! Will never again fly with a phone. Having said that...DJI says, with subsequent fw updates, that the SC will be compatible.

Another Kai.w video ,the legend that broke 2k worth of gear lol

“Buddy” is that code for you shot it but can’t let on 😉

too much video for mavic pro2 i thought its a comparisson video

I'd like to hear this guy's voice in a trailer!

short answer: hell fucking to the yes

Had both. Now only have the Air 2. Enough said

Dji totally f. Up with that big controller

Im know this voice hmm

Can Netflix just give you a show already?

really just dont get the hype for 4k footage noone ever watches it in 4k

8k 120fps

Blimey first comment. Whoop whoop. Keep up the good work :-)

ahahah dude loved this review! You're so fun to watch bro, I got my mavic air 2 last week and I'm loving it! Waaayyyyy better than the original mavic air! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Air2 is better than Air 1 because Air 2 is expensive than Air 1

i want drone also ;D
