kind of bs anyway. you cant compare big drones to small drones. its like comparing a cellphone to a real camera. The sensor is tiny all the details and depth is washed away and the image is smoothed out to compensate. Cellphones use tricks to fool you into believing the picture is better than it is which is also the case for drones. If you wanna fly around for fun get a small drone. if you actually want to use the footage in any kind of professional production you need the big boy to fit a real camera. It is not a replacement and never will be they are different kind of products meant for different things.

European drone pilot here. The new EU regulation on drones is pretty good, because at first every country in Europe had their own set of rules. However the rules are strict, and yes bigger drones need registration. Even though I am registered, I have the recreational A1-3 licenses and I fly Mavic series drones, I almost completely stopped doing that and my go to drone is now also the Mini 3 Pro. Less rules, more opportunities.

Be careful though. Here in Germany for example you also have to register UAV under 250g if they have a camera. It's just 20€ though if you're a private persion and 50$ for commercial.

One thing to note while flying in weather is that if you're flying above a layer of fog and start descending through the fog, the landing sensor thinks that thick fog is actually the ground and starts initiating an auto landing. That's one way to soil your undies. I had to repeatedly lower altitude, cancel the auto landing, lower altitude etc etc about 20 times until it was all the way through the fog layer. I have no idea what it would have done if I didn't cancel the auto landing. (I hope the answer is that it would have just kept descending but never turn off the props because it never sensed that it stopped descending, but I wasn't about to find out).

Cool! I'm actually headed to Kenya next year so good to know about drone regs there. I have the DJI Mini 2 and when I purchased it, it was required that I register it with the FAA in the US even though it was at or below the 249g limit...just so folks are aware. (I think they started requiring that because the smaller drones have become so popular.). Even the Mini 2 is an amazing machine and the registration process was really pretty easy.

The quality of images and drones in the smaller class is so good that there has to be a very good reason to fly a larger one. I fly in mountains, often in quite windy weather; the Mini 3SE copes with all of it, at a very cheap price. Also so easy to carry over the shoulder. Nice footage1

Hmm, it's a little more complicated than that in the US. Everything you said about sub 250g drones is correct for a recreational flyer, but filming for a monetized KZread channel means you need a part 107 license, and flying part 107 means the drone must be registered no matter what size it is.

This is a great informative video about drone regulations, permits, and licenses required. I had dabbled a bit with a few Drones but you get what you pay for. Especially when it comes to filming something you want to present to others. For such a short video, I learned a lot as it has been around 5 years since I last had a drone. And I will be looking at this one in particular. Thanks!

Zimbabwean drone pilot here...regulation varies by classification, and the smaller the drone, the less strict the regulation by class. However, here we still need a letter of approval and registration for every drone, and an RPL for the pilot. More drone related content is welcome!

As a drone pilot, I really appreciate you making this content. It's becoming an issue that anyone can purchase a very capable drone online or from any box store, go home and charge the battery and be trained by an app how to fly it within a few hours, and circumvent any knowledge of how to fly safely and legally. I'll admit, I actually did the same thing a few years ago with the original Mavic Mini, but it wasn't my flavor, so I sold it and got into building DIY FPV quadcopters. This required a lot of time, money and effort, and along the way, interacting with a large community of enthusiasts that promote safety and legal flying as a priority. Government regulations are now making it more difficult for us hobbyists to fly, and the main reasons are casual fliers with no understanding of their violations, AND large corporations wanting to harness that same airspace for their own businesses, like drone delivery. I'm in Canada, but I'm now licensed and have registered my +250g rigs with Transport Canada, and closely follow new imposed regulations, such as Remote ID. If we don't follow the basic laws and clamp down on safety issues, we're going to be regulated out of the sky, in favor of big business. I'm not a bootlicker, I just love my hobby, and don't want to see it die, so please, everyone do your part to, at the very least, be smart about flying, so we can all enjoy this incredible technology, and the joy of "flight". 😁✌🏻

It's kind of considered a toy in the eyes of the government, but you still have to follow the same safety and privacy laws as you would with a larger drone, and your local areas may have bylaws a boat flying in certain places. I live in a small town in Alberta, and there are no drone signs at some of the local park attractions, so I usually end up flying at like a schoolyard or an empty lot. Those minis are so capable, they're an absolute blast. The only thing I would take into consideration is how windy it is in your area. When they get that small and light, they sometimes have trouble fighting strong winds, like above 25 km an hour. And the higher you go in the sky, the stronger the wind is on any given day. I've been thinking about getting another one just because they're such a excellent machine to have in the tool bag. 🙂

I know what you mean tho, I don't like getting into disputes with people, sometimes it's easier to just find a different location. I found that most people don't know the law anyways, which is why I got my basic license. You can diffuse 95% of the situations by just telling them that you have a license, I which point they mostly assume that you know the laws better than they do.

Nice! I have one just like it....do almost all my flying over water since I live on a ski lake in Florida! Love it!

I own the same drone... its pretty awesome! I debated a larger drone, but I read/saw a lot of horror stories where people ended up arrested or chased by random people so I figured the smaller one would be best. I love it so far.

The Mini 3 Pro was a really nice upgrade over the Mini 2 (which I picked up last year). It's incredible how capable these little machines really are!

It's likely that the gimbal got stuck from hitting the sand and the g force spike affecting the control filtering software (simplified). Should have power-cycled it before flying over water, that would recalibrate it. Also using the map rather than the camera can help you navigate back 😊

Great to watch and much better than some of the official DJI videos. Thanks. Laurie. NZ

This is fantastic advice. Recently in my country (Canada) the police in a city near Toronto flew their drone into a flight path of a airport and crashed into a Cessna. It's crazy to think even a certified pilot and agency could screw up so bad, but even among pro's there's a lot of ways to make mistakes. Luckily DJI won't let us normal people make such a bad mistake but the police don't get lockouts so they really need to know their stuff. These smaller drones can do SO much what a bigger drone can do but in a much safer fashion. Always read up on the laws, do the course and listen not for the grade but for the knowledge. PS: Nobody got hurt but the poor Cessna and the drone was no more. It could've easily been a national/international headline if they had hit the plane in a different way. Especially in a urban place like it was.

Just remember Jerry here in the USA if you use your drone for a business you will need to register it no matter what. Also if you are using it in furtherance of a business/making money or for Nonprofit you will need a part 107 license from the FAA. Good thing is the license is pretty easy to study for and pass. I got a 97%. Failure to do so can bring on a hefty fine from the FAA. The cost of the license is currently $175 and I do recommend an online course such as Altitude University. But if you want to try a free course there are a few options.

My cost for this was probably around $ 250, everything included (except the drone), right down to the dollar store cones and first aid kit I brought along 😆(they want to make sure you have safety in mind and can fly your drone). I brought my better half with me to act as a visual observer.

@@the1andonly Awesome, thank you! Great idea to go overboard with the safety aspect. I know a lot of times it's less about the actual material than it is about their perception of you. I also used Don's material to get ready for the basic. I have some if impediments about absorbing information from legal jargon, but I did get the same score as Don did, so I was pleased with that. 😅 How to look at flight school last week, and apparently it's getting popular since it was around $600 last year and doubled to $1200 this year from the one school that I was looking at. I haven't shopped around but I assume they're all fairly similarly priced. Maybe I'll start studying for it, take a crack at it and see how I do. Thanks for the reply, happy flying!

@@willpowerfpv3246 You can't go wrong! If you screw up the online exam it can only teach you something. The cost for that is just ten bucks! I was prepared for that, but squeezed by with an 82 % score 😊

That's a good info. My colleague did need to register his drone and get permit to fly in Switzerland. Hopefully this smaller drone can avoid all those problems.

I am impressed by this drone. Image stability and quality is phenomenal! Thanks for sharing.

Still needs to be registered if you are using it for work related purposes.

Same problem here in the UK, so opted for the Mini 2 which was the most current at the time. I still registered with the CAA as it removes the most flying restrictions here with regards to flying over people etc. Also, brave using it in that rain. I've used mine in very light drizzle as an electronic umbrella once but was not confident in the outcome but it held up.

@@NeedToBike Would you be afraid of a £4000 fine, with all your equipment being seized? Because that's what happened to one drone flyer in the UK, who flew where he shouldn't have.....And it happened over a restricted area not too far from where I live. The regulations are there for a reason. What would you do if the police, or some other official, saw you flying and asked you to provide your CAA registration number? Which, by the way, should be displayed on your drone. With respect, it's behaviour like yours that gets the whole hobby - and those who enjoy it responsibly and legally - a bad name. Shame on you. It has absolutely nothing to do with being "afraid" of the Government. It's about the risk to others, and facing up to your responsibilities and obligations as a drone operator. What would you do if your drone developed an issue and lost control, hitting someone in the face, causing them to lose their sight in one eye? An incident similar to this occurred quite a few years ago, with a small balsawood model plane hitting someone in the eye, causing the loss of sight in that eye. The claim ran into millions of pounds, and was one of the largest claims made through the insurance offered by the BMFA - the British Model Flying Association. The model which caused the incident weighed about 2 ounces......

I absolutely LOVE the footage of the children! So cool!

I have a 4 Pro and I love it. Especially the 360º photos. They take a decent chunk of battery (all the photos + processing) but they are stitched 100% seamlessly. It's quite amazing how this little buddy has done what I never could archive with the Google Camera + the disappeared 360 option.

As a professional drone pilot, I gotta say the Mini 3 Pro is legit. I’ve been thinking of getting one in addition to my Mavic 3 just because it’s far easier to deal with the international restrictions.

Something I have to wonder... When the police approached you, how did it go down? Did they ask if you had it registered, and when you said no you got arrested? Or did they just immediately arrest you and ask if it was registered later?

Also, if flying in Europe, you need to stick your license number onto the drone. I suppose that the police officer had him show the drone. No sticker, no permit.

Hello, Nice informative video.Just purchased the same dji Mini 3 pro. I want a suggestion.Please reply . While travelling where should i put the drone body,controller and the betteries?Should they be in checked in luggage or Carry on ? regards

I’m amazed that flying in the rain did not damage the Mini 3 Pro! Is that really true or did you have a back up Mini 3 Pro? If it’s true, that’s god to know, however I still would try it. Nice video.

You would be amazed by what these drones can handle Zack. They are extremely durable and in our opinion over-engineered for a consumer product.

Hola Jerry este verano voy a viajar a Kenia. Podrías indicarme qué permisos tuviste que tramitar para poder llevar el mini 3 pro? Muchas gracias

My mini 3 pro arrived today (first drone). So far, I am very impressed. I decided to bite the bullet and register it, and will probably apply for Part 107, just to be safe. I cant believe how easy it is to use. Great video!

I think that for anything that isn't recreational, you have to register and get your 107partb license in order to use the footage commercially no matter the weight

Bro you don’t know how rich this guy is.. he has a good heart and all but let’s not forget he buys a drone like that as if it were pocket change so the happiness of the little kids outweighs the cost if it breaks..

The Mini 4 Pro adds waypointing, cruise control and omnidirectional anti-bonkand amazingly, improves the capture even though it has the same sensor. Waypointing makes it really easy to do complex shots smoothly.

awesome video as always

You definitely get used to it! I have a DJI mini 2 and it's very confidence inspiring. I once flew it quite far down an estuary to get a shot and it completely lost signal (there were too many trees and buildings in between me and it). But it just ascends to the height you pre set and then fly's back to you on its own. They also use GPS to hover so it doesn't just drift on its own. Think I paid £70 for insurance for 2 years through DJI too, so helps build confidence while you're learning

Awesome, thanks. And thank you for what you do for the kids in Kenya

I wanted a drone for years and my wife got me the DJI Mini 2 a couple years ago for Christmas. Absolutely love it. Even though it was below the limit, still made sure to register it just in case. It's taken some great pictures and videos on some of our vacations. Works pretty good here in the Upstate New York snow, and has even survived being dumped in a snow bank once or twice.

pro tip is also, if youre going to another country, check laws according to what ur planning to do there etc. taking for granted that it works like in ur own country can turn out bad, even like a small thing as flying a drone somewhere. be careful
