The DJI Mavic Air is a pocket drone that records in 4K

This Tuesday, January 23, DJI has officially added another device to its already large fleet of commercial drones. The new Mavic Air, which is cheaper than the original version that gives it the name, comes to fill a space in the portfolio of the brand that has the Spark in a lower range, the Mavic a step above.
And if it is in the portability that meets the answer to your needs, perhaps this drone is ideal for your type of use. Despite the fact that it has a superior set of technical specifications to the Spark, this device does not neglect the compact and lightweight design (430 grams) - if you have deep pockets, you can even carry it inside.



To this, DJI has added a 32MP camera, supported on three axes, which integrates capacity to record in 4K and to record panoramic photographs. The transmission of the video to the smartphone in real time, is done at a speed of up to 100 Mbps. If you are interested in recording in slow motion, be aware that you can benefit from a 120 frames per second mode.
Battery life reaches 21 minutes. A low value, but still in line with the averages reached by most of the drones (of this size) currently available in the market.
The drone's steering system has also been improved, compared to the latest device launched by the Chinese company. According to DJI, this Mavic Air has a new obstacle avoidance system and new software for the detection of gestures, which facilitates the gestural control.
