What to buy
This page carries affiliate links. A purchase pays this account a commission, at no extra cost to you.
Filter
An ND filter set made for the DJI Mavic Air
The lens is fixed, so an ND filter is the only way to hold the shutter near 1/50 second in daylight. Buy the set cut for this model, because a filter for another one will not seat.
Battery
A DJI Mavic Air Intelligent Flight Battery, 2375 mAh
One battery runs 21 minutes. A spare is the difference between one flight and a whole session.
Card
microSDClass 10 or UHS-1 rating required
The DJI Mavic Air holds 8 GB inside, so a card is what turns a short flight into a whole trip.
