DJI has announced its latest camera drone, the Mavic Air. It compact, has a 4K camera and can take 360-degree photos. <\/p>\n

In almost all aspects \u2013 price, performance, weight and size \u2013 the new Mavic Air balances between the powerful Mavic Pro and the compact Spark. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s closer to spark in terms of size and weight but nearer to the Pro when it comes to shooting smarts and flying performance. <\/p>\n

It has a convenient collapsible design. When folded, you can easily slip it into a large pocket. It measures<\/a> just 168L \u00d7 83W \u00d7 49H mm. Unfolded, it\u2019s still a fairly compact drone at 168L \u00d7 184W \u00d7 64H mm. <\/p>\n

It weighs 430 grams, which is slightly heavier than Spark\u2019s 300 grams but almost half the weight of the 734-gram Mavic Pro. <\/p>\n

Like most hobbyist drones nowadays, the Mavic Air is designed to be compact and light while still boasting impressive specs. <\/p>\n

Surprisingly, it\u2019s faster than both the Pro and Spark. While in sport mode, it can cruise at 42.5mph. The Pro and Spark have max speeds of 40mph and 31mph respectively. <\/p>\n
