However, note that all of this is just speculation on our part. The company may not end up launching the Mavic Air successor, launching a whole new product instead. We’ll just have to wait until the launch to see that. The launch will take place on April 27, 2020. It will start at 9:30 pm EDT ( 7 am IST April 28, 2020).

Back when it launched the DJI Mavic Air was the first DJI drone to include 8GB of onboard storage, allowing you to record and store more photos and videos of longer duration. There’s also support for a microSD card for storage expansion. The drone uses a Type-C slot for data transfer.

The DJI Mavic Air is available in three color choices of Onyx Black, Arctic White, and Flame Red. The retail price of $799 (approximately Rs 50,900) includes the drone, battery, remote controller, carrying case, two pairs of propeller guards and four pairs of propellers.

The brand also launched the DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo. This included the drone, three batteries, a remote controller, a travel bag, two pairs of propeller guards, six pairs of propellers, a battery to power bank adapter and a battery charging hub, priced at $999 (approximately Rs 63,700).
