Redesigned Remote for Mavic Air
The DJI Mavic Air comes with a redesigned remote controller.
While there is no built-in screen, as you get with the Mavic Pro remote, it does add support for the 5.725 - 5.850 GHz frequency range.
It also features removeable control sticks, which tuck comfortably into the handles of the remote when folded.
This allows the folded remote to become even more compact, plus there's less chance of damage to the remote while in transit.
The Mavic Air remote comes with cables for Lightning, Micro USB (Type-B) and USB-C devices.
Mavic Air or Fly More Combo?
The Mavic Air Fly More Combo represents better value than the standalone Mavic Air package - but for those just looking to get started with drones, the standalone package is still a good choice. The Fly More Combo comes with these additional accessories:
- 2 x Extra Batteries
- 2 x Extra Propeller Pairs
- 1 x Charing Hub
- 1 x Battery to Power Bank Adaptor
- 1 x Travel Bag
This means you'll be able to use your Mavic Air for longer periods of time when you're out flying. Essential if you need to capture more angles for video, or more still images.
