And it's cheap $399 and $499 fly more.
30 minute fly time combined with 4km video transmission distance seems like it's every bit a professional drone. Much smaller and harder to detect also. Or for a less scumbag sounding.... less intrusive when filming.

That’s a good buy, would replace my mavic with something that portable.

I still have no reason to upgrade my mavic pro. Once they put obstacle avoidance on all sides then i will think about it. Mavic 2 was close but still i dont think it detected obstacles above.

I am still using my phantom 3 professional I like everything about it but it is huge it might be time to pull the trigger on this. I like the price and looks like I can bring it anywhere I travel.

Losing 4K isn’t a big lose for me, extra flight time and extreme portability is sounding real appealing.
No reason for them to not put a better camera on there though, they just don’t want to cannibalize sales.

This combined with the fact it has no avoidance sensors or any of the advanced navigation options is a recipe for disaster.
When I put my air in sport mode it’s almost inevitable that it’s about to fall out of the sky or get stuck in a tree if the prop guards are on, and it’s often nearly invisible until you can locate the blinking lights.
A lot of people won’t make 10 charges before the mini goes MIA.

Don’t be bad at flying, learn to fly helis. Going to these things from a heli is like going from a Tour de France bike to a tricycle.

So it doesn’t have to be registered with the FAA because of its size?

For scouting ducks

I use my drone to recon the never ending growth around my house. New roads, new schools , new developments . They have road blocks so I just take my drone up to see what’s going on. Also I have a beautiful river inlet with a kayak launch near my house and in the morning there is usually a good sunrise. I have some beautiful videos of sunrises and sailboats.

How will this thing handle any wind?

Thanks
So at 249g it doesn’t require registering

Probably not great
