Is is possible thay DJI will release a firmware update that will allow ocusync with the Mavic Air or is it just not possible?

Hi, thanks for inquiring, the connection between the RC and Mavic air is enhanced wi-fi, I'm afraid that we cannot change the connection type, however, we will forward your request to our R&D engineers for consideration.

Nope it has to do with the hardware not the software as far as if it is OcuSync or WiFi.  Not possible with the stock MA.  

Kindly let us know if you have another concern, we are happy to help you. Cheers!

Yes, it is possible because the hardware is the same

I would definitely be interested in buying a DJI Mavic Air with that for sure. "Advanced" WIFI is useless, a friend has a Spark with standard WIFI that has stronger connection and can fly much MUCH further.

I have an Air and a Pro and considered trying to strip them both down to make 1 good drone.

Size and compatibility is important when everything needs to fit into a the saddle bags of my bike. Air and 7 batteries is more compact then the Pro and 3 batteries.

Perfect drone would be the Air with ocusync, Platinum propellers, a remote that does not charge android devices when connected and possibly 60fps camera.This in my eyes would perfect all of my needs and wants.

Definitely not possible

This is such a bs cop-out. Ocusync isn't hardware. It's software.  The air is powerful enough computing wise to have ocusync

The p4p got a fw upgrade from basic lightbridge to ocusync 2 .

The mav air is a drone dji made as a money grab imo.  More capable than the pro but factory gimped on purpose and plagued with issues because of only one compass (and the "yaw and flyaway" issues)

I think it's a hardware issue with the Mavic Air since OcuSync also isn't just inside the drone but also the Remote Controller, which the Mavic Air remote currently is WiFi based.
