I like your comparison to having an older drone with less flight time. I remember with my Mavic Air, if I had to fly out a distance for a subject, there was so much planning to ensure that, a) I would make it to the subject at the right time to capture what I needed, and b) have enough battery to capture what I needed. Even hanging around for 30 seconds waiting for the subject would make you feel those precious seconds. Then getting a Mavic Air 2 I was like "well, now I've finished that, what else can I do with my remaining battery?"

Great video, thanks. I couldn't tell from the video, how long were you able to fly with the plus battery?

Hey Mike, yeah, I have one, got for my mini 3 pro, but now, in my mini 4 pro, it was difficult to get with me being in Scotland, but I use it more than my normal batteries 👍

Hey Jim, I hope you are well! Yes I must admit I tend to gravitate towards it a little more often than not myself!

Good to see you posting again brother. God bless

Cheers for the Stuart - I appreciate it mate!

I am going get a plus battery I only fly by the beach so not worried ebay UK have them

I cant find an answer to this question. Does an aftermarket ( non-dji) battery + that does not support firmware updates that is over the standard M4P battery weight trigger the RID?

I haven't got one myself to test, but I would not think so?

So getting the larger batteries means you have to register the drone? What else does it trigger? Are there additional tests one must take now? Any money one has to spend to get a license or something? If this is so then I don't know how important the extra 10 minutes is compared to everything one must do because of the extra weight.

Or you could ignore the rules and just fly the drone. Who is going to approach you with a scientifically accurate scale to weight the drone?

@@joeshmoe7967 I get you. Although I read if I want to make money and upload photos/film then I would have to register and even get a license anyway.

Technically yes, practically? No, in my opinion. Who would know your mini 4 is a bit over? No one is EVER going to pull out a scale and weigh it. Fly responsibly and it will never be an issue

Where can I buy one for my mini 4 pro in New Zealand. Can a mini 3 plus battery work?

Yeah good call mate

So....who would know your Drone was overweight by a few grams. I could put decals on, that would put my mini 2 over 249 grams, but who would know. I would not register just due to the battery slightly heavier. I would operate under 'it is only illegal, if you get caught' Like a 251gram drone is so much more 'deadly' than a 249. The decided weight of 249 is ridiculous in the first place. Should be sub 300 gram. That way you start with 250 add a few accessories and no worries.
