Hey guys and girls,

I’m going to upgrade my phone in a couple of weeks (currently have iPhone se) and I was wondering what phones are highly rated for flying the mavic air and also uploading and editing 4K footage?

I’ve got my eyes on the iPhone 7 Plus . I’d rather stick with iPhone, but does anyone have any pointers and suggestions?

Thanks

I use an iPhone 7 Plus with mine. Works well.

Do you do editing on it too?

Hi. Thank you for reaching DJI Forum. You may check here the list of compatible devices for Mavic Air: https://www.dji.com/mavic-air/info#downloads

I’m asking who uses what and the pro’s and cons of each

You can find a list of supported and commonly used mobile devices here. They are ranked by votes from DJI drone owners.

I’m using iPad air2 and so far everything is working good on it.
My Samsung galaxy s6 couldn’t run the latest apps.

Fly safe.
Alex.

I read that iPhone 7 Plus being a bit awkward uploading files? Something like it needs to be done through iMovie first?

I got an iPhone 7. No probs here

I use the Huawei P20 Pro and it works perfectly.

Iphone 7 plus and it´s ok better with iphone x but im not using it because its my primary phone and i have many calls during flights . Editing on my iphone 7 plus with luma fusion best mobile editor ever! or on my ipad pro 12,9.

Just out of interest have you had any issues with your current phone. - Don't think you can go wrong with  keeping things IOS.
I'm still using iphone 5s dedicated, even though it fell off the list for recommended devices for v4.3.0 but it still works 100% editing included.
