Best Mavic Air Accessories

Top Mavic Air Accessories
Here are some of the best and most essential Mavic Air accessories. You will also find great prices for Mavic Air accessories these as you scroll further down the page. Additional Intelligent Flight Batteries: Professional aerial photographers always have 3 or 4 spare batteries with them to meet their shooting goals. For beginner pilots, spare batteries are also a must for practice. So pack some extra batteries and make your exploration truly limitless! Spare Propellers: You’ll never regret keeping a few prop sets on hand as the fragile nature of propellers makes them easy to break. If the Mavic Air isn’t flying as smooth as you like, then maybe you have a bent propeller. Swapping propellers is keep with the new props being well-balanced propellers in your Mavic Air kit! SD Cards: The Mavic Air does have an 8 GB internal storage. However, to make sure that you have enough space for 4k videos, it’s good to have either a 32 or 64 GB Micro SD Cards with you. DJI recommend the certified SanDisk SD card where a 32 GB card can record up to 40 minutes of 4k video. The 64 GB Micro SD card can record up to 80 minutes of 4k UHD video. Car Charger: A Mavic Air car charger allows you to charge the Intelligent Flight Battery through the car’s 12 V accessory socket. It comes with low voltage protector to ensure you don’t drain your car’s battery completely. Also, overheating protection will automatically cut off charging if the accessory port exceeds a certain temperature.
Charging Hub: The DJI Mavic Air Battery Charging Hub is a terrific accessory. It is designed for use with the Mavic Air Intelligent Flight Battery. When used with the Mavic Air Power Adapter, it can charge up to four Intelligent Flight Batteries in sequence according to their power levels, and from high to low. This saves you from charging all your batteries one by one which takes quite a while. The charging hub allows you to power up all your batteries at the same time. ND Filters: These help avoid overexposure so that you don’t shoot overly dark or bright still images. There are sets specially made for the Mavic Air below which include ND4, ND8, and ND16 filters, reducing light by 2/3/4 stops. Travel Bag: Without a correct fitting travel bag, your Mavic Air could suffer scratches, bumps, and scrapes during transportation can be a headache. This could include scratches to the vision sensors which are essential for obstacle avoidance. Also propellers could get bent and then the Mavic Air will not fly as smoothly as possible. So having a proper sized Mavic Air travel bag to hold the aircraft, controller, a couple of batteries, charging hub, a charger, and smaller accessories such as cables is an essential accessory.
