In a sunny, warm climate, this would not be an issue….

Your signal/range problem is actually due to where you are geographically. In order to pass certain ratings/certifications, DJI needs to push down the power... and therefore range is only ok. The range is given in FCC mode (full power)

There is a massive issue with the settings in sports mode. Yet only Ian from London and a few others discuss it. Flightpath and others just do the safe videos.

Before relying on sensors remember 3 things: Wires - this drone doesn't have top sensors, so if you launch it somewhere near electric line be careful. Branches - it doesn't see them, if there's no leafs on branches, it just doesn't, be aware of that and don't crash your drone. Flying sideways - in follow mode especially, since the drone doesn't see sideways, be EXTRA aware of surroundings and be careful when launching it sideways, make sure it is at sufficient height and there's nothing that it can bump into. Oh, and don't try flying it through your apartment windows or through your car like it's an fpv drone, first it will stop because of the collision warning and if you turn it sensors off it will crash, that's it. Everything except cables is from my personal experience, don't make my mistakes and keep your drone and yourself safe

Can you please do a video talking about how the Mini 3 Pro overheats? I’m not talking about when transferring files. I’m talking about *in flight*. When that happens it enters a failsafe auto land mode in which you have zero control. It does not return to home, rather it lands on whatever it is over at that moment. People have already lost drones because of this. DJI needs to at least provide a warning system to let users know that an overheat is imminent and allow them to manually control the landing of the drone. I have personally experienced this and talked to others who have as well. I can provide you flight logs if you want. Please help start bringing awareness to this so DJI does something about it!

I can only tell you what I experienced at the time. But like I said,, DJI keep releasing firware updates and that will improve, Also, some people set/ hack their RC controller to different settings or licenses, like FCC.

But like everything in life, there will be clever bees out there who know how to squeeze every drop of performance out of the RC controller. The average Joe will probably not fall in that category... I hope this makes sense... By the way, thanks for chipping in!!!

For the insurance, in my opinion you are better of using the drone from Amazon and get the Asurion 2 or 3 year warranty.

Well, I was filming on Saturday around Tower Bridge area in London and the range is still crap. You can "hack" ther RN1 controller to use FCC using apps you can install on your phone but the RC with the built-in screen is not that easy so you are stuck with CE which is far, far from ideal... But I am sure, like everything in life, with time and firmware updates, it will improve, expecially if they allow 3rd party aps to be installed in the RC cointroller, that would then allow for easily switch from CE to FCC... But for now, it is what it is, still an amazing drone and amazing experience, 100%.
