DJI Mavic Air specs and images leaked ahead of official launch; could be priced at $699

DJI’s Mavic Air drone pictures and specification seem to have leaked one day before its official unveiling. The drone is reportedly seen in these photos donning a white, red, and black colour combinations with a design which is not unlike the **DJI Spark** .

The drone will have additional obstacle-avoiding sensors, controls via gestures, visual positioning system and flight time of about 21 minutes. The legs of the Mavic Air also seem to fold like the Mavic Pro and compatible DJI goggles will be provided alongside the drone. However, there is no information on the top speed of the drone or the range it has before which it cannot detect radio signals. Also, the report claims the weight of the drone is yet unknown and the expected price of the device should be to the tune of $699. The DJI Mavic Air does have superior video shooting capabilities and a higher resolution camera than the DJI Spark, however, it does fail to register a higher flight time than the **DJI Mavic Pro** which can give 30 minutes on full charge.

These are, however, just speculations and should be treated as such. More information shall be revealed at DJI Mavic Air’s official unveiling on 23 January.
