DJI MAVIC AIR REVIEW

 

The DJI Mavic Air is a compact, ultra-portable quad copter.  It’s the smallest, most portable drone with just as many features as its larger siblings.

 

It did meet all of my requirements.  It has good quality video, it’s small, very portable, performs well & is affordable.  I also found the Mavic easy to fly & of course, my favorite, it takes good selfies & group photos.

 

Take a look at the features & specs below to make sure it has everything you’re looking for in a drone.  You won’t be disappointed.

DJI Spark Drone Combo

 

DJI SPARK REVIEW

 

This review is on the Spark Fly More Combo.  The Spark is aimed at the dronie crowds or new pilots that want to take the drone out of the box & fly it without having to learn any real controls whatsoever.  Yes, it’s that easy.  I love the fact that it takes amazing aerial photos just using hand gestures.  That’s right.  You don’t have to use the remote controller.
