Mavic Air 2 vs. Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic Mini & Mavic Air - Wicked Wind Test

Here’s what I want to see. Someone doing a video about purchasing their first drone. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced in photography/video this is the first drone you should buy. It would be easier for me to know which drone I should get because I won’t want to upgrade to another drone for a long time

Haven’t had a problem with it in mild winds in the mountains but when I try to film kiting it will be a test but looks like it shouldn’t be to bad judging by your video.

Nice video!
Subscription done!!

Uav forecast is I think the best app

On my MA2 I’ve found the initial start-up of the props is really “aggressive” and shakes the drone a bit, like the motors are a little overpowered for such a light drone. The drone will actually spin a bit. I don’t think it’s hurting anything. When landing it seems to be ok. Have you found that?

Sorry I didn't check all the comments, but, how far distance does the drone have to be to hit RTHome? I had NO idea this was necessary. Thanks again for a great video.

Flight time in windy conditions , kind of subjective tho’ considering each has a different battery capacity, weight , ESC & motor .. too many variables.. each drone has its pro’s and con’s.. however I do agree that the Mavic Air 2 for me personally has been the best in class drone with impressive capability ..its actually very impressive. Cheers love your channel always great content !

I saw that you had the mini in P mode, maybe test it in sport. I have the mini my self and it performed better in sports mode.

Hey Russ, only bought my first "real" drone back in January last - A Mavic Pro2, loving it but still have a lot to learn about flying and also about video editing. A couple of questions, Is there an AirSense upgrade for my Pro 2 ? and also do you have any video's about editing the video files ?

Thank you for great feedback Russ.
You keep saying the mavic air 2 is the quietest drone you've flown but you never compared it to the ultimate quiet drone (until now) namely the mavic pro platinum.
I'm waiting to hear.
Thank you.
Best regards.
Phil

Btw, I was flying my Platinum around the big kites on the beach in Bali. It takes a lot of wind to keep them things flying. Yet I could position my Platinum anywhere I wanted to take close-ups. That Platinum is heavy enough it won't go anywhere unless in a typhoon.

I think your mavic mini battery is fake hahaha. Ive been getting consistent 24mins flight time on my mini.

Rus, I'm a rookie to the hobby. Your videos are extraordinary. I appreciate them immensely and l appreciate your insights, your honesty and your sense of humor.

how much weight can it carry

Great video as usual Russ.

Nice Video👍

I think the real rock star here today was surely the Mavic Mini!!! The Mini got pushed around like crazy and still it gave almost 20 minutes, and had a bit of battery left!

The other drones are just too expensive, this is why the Mini is a real winner here..

Sweet

😁

PS: I'm still saving up to buy me an Air 2 hopefully for Christmas...

Hi Russ, the app is called UAV forecast and it tells you the wind at different altitudes. You Can have the premium Version to see the forecast in 7 days but the free 24 hours forecast is very good and very accurate, at least in France. Also, I use the anafi as my drone. Hope you like my comment and if so, do not forget to like it.

Nice rig for the ipad

Hey! Which Samsung drones work with the dji mavic air 2?

Air 2's batteries are also the newest right?

Great Video Russ, as always straight to the point and no B.S. keep up the great work and we will continue to watch

Hope you don't mind. I might make several comments as I watch the video, rather than summarize. It's late here, and I wish to be cohesive. Comment 1, flight time - do not these batteries 'anneal' ? I believe that is the right word, but they become a little more efficient and retentive of energy after several initial charges. It seems that no company follows a standard that is useful for users of drones. Back to video.

uav forcast is the app

Im inlove with my Air2, my first drone.

One thing that was not factored in was the age of the batteries & the number of previous charge-drain cycles they've had that would deplete them. The mavic air 2's batteries would without doubt be newer/fresher with fewer cycles on them.. Your Mini has probably been flown loads i bet.

Hmm, Vortex Optics shirt, they make good stuff!

So you mentioned in passing you enjoy flying air 2 more than mavic pro 2? I have the pro 4 V1 and looking to get a more portable. I assumed the pro 2 was superior?

Mode P, put it in Sport Mode!

I enjoyed your video, are all very funny and interesting. Following and thumbs up

My first DJI drone - MA2. Totally love this thing. I believe it's even quieter than my Anafi.

who makes the ipad holder you used in testing the air 2

Nice desktop you have clamped to your RC. lol

Been looking at the air 2 for a few weeks. Any idea if it is compatible with the A51 phone and a suggestion on what adapter is needed to go from usb c to the controller. Thanks.

An app for viewing the wind at altitude and more - UAV Forcast

"mind numbingly wind"
... That thought never came to my mind, lol.

Appreciate your advise for the one that handles strong wind better between Mini 2 and Air 2.

Just watched your video about air time was thinking about making the Mavic Air 2 my next drone thanks for swaying my opinion

Fantastic flight time comparison, you have to love the mavic air 2, so glad I chose it over the rest. Keep up with the tests and tutorials fella. 👍

I am Brand New all this. Like day two of checking drones out. I'm moving to Kansas where the winds can be high. Like really high. I'm a deer hunter. I want a drone for checking terrain and scouting from the air. A buddy told me to go with the Mavic air 2 fly more. Please give me honest feed back. Would like to stay $1k bucks or less.

You talk too much

what is better in the wind? mavic pro or mavic air 2?

You Americans keep buying chinese products.
