- I am no longer a big drone person. Little drones for the win. Current pricing on the DJI Mini 3 Pro is here: amzn.to/3JEuTXs Personally ive never had too many issues flying drones. I respectfully avoid crowded areas - away from cities for the most part. But... flying directly over police officers was a very poor decision. Especially with a larger unregistered drone. From now on - I'll only be flying the little guys! This video is not sponsored.
I was fined 250 Euros by the German Police - so I made sure to use the drone footage in my Self Driving Taxi video here: • How do Robot Taxis Wor...

That was a hell of an advertisement for it not to be sponsored! Honestly I was surprised when you said it wasn't sponsored. DJI should retroactively pay you for this 😂
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.
He is sneaky :D he put affiliate link in the description :D but you said it well they should have sponsored him either way :D
@@Nickerian91 FACTS
its just an referral affiliate link, still kinda sponsored imo
@@Nickerian91 well, we see the 4k footage here and it's not that bad...
In france, if your drone has a camera it gotta be registered and it's illegal to fly in cities
That's some commitment to proper content right there. Creating a script and filming the respective pieces literally all around the world. This video SHOULD be sponsored, I guess DJI wouldn't pay a video team for ads to travel around the globe.
I love it!! Thank you for the work you did in Kenya brother and also interacting with local kids 💯
Where was the arrest you said just to get views pretty sneaky!
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.
How many km You get until signal gets weak? I got like 2.1km outside in open field and signal was very weak.
@@Ruslan_davudov_photography You don't, because in the EU, BVLOS isn't allowed outside of the VLOS and with a spotter.
@@Galileocrafter Thats what i was thinking, it sucks tho, thanks
@@Galileocrafter so you get an obstacle between you and the drone and the drone crashes to the ground?
@@OrloxPhoenix it does not crash, but the signal will be noticeably weaker.
I've got the same one and love it. It's great not having to worry about registering it in a lot of locations.
I don't believe you!
@@quietflintuk Oh no! What ever will Matt do?
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Undecided...
Have you used it a lot for B-roll and other footage in your videos? Any projects down the road that you're planning on using it?
Love your channel by the way! You make great content and it makes me happy seeing your channel grow :)
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.
thank you for this video!!! ive been enjoying your channel/ tech testing for over 6 years now.
I'm happy watching you travelling all over the world, completing all those exciting projects. Only few people have the opportunity to have a job they love! Also my respect to your wife for "letting" you stay away for so long...🙂
Hi Zach, been watching your channel for 7 years. Glad to watch your videos again.
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).
My Mavic 2 did just that, it just keeps descending very slowly until it is on the actual ground
I was filming fog over a river. I had to fight mine from auto landing in the water. Not a fun experience to say the least.
I can confirm. I almost we my undies the same way. But if you let it auto land, it will keep descending until it feels the ground, it won't just shut off the propellers out of the blue. It was an intense experience.
Get the dji refresh care, then you won’t mind that much anymore ;)
You can turn off the bottom sensors to let you descend no problem. I've flown above fog layers many times and land no problem.
Very iniformative and I appreciate your humility !!
Really enjoyed watching this, great content as always!!
Thanks for being honest about this, hopefully fellow CZcamsrs around the world will listen to your words as it affects the entire community. With the remote ID aspect taking effect soon enough this is only going to be more common place with people getting in trouble.
I wish I was arrested for flying my drone, instead I watched $3k fly off into the horizon. 😂
Ouch. 3k hurts especially when you're forced to watch it's demise.
Congrats
Ouch!!!!!😱😱😱
what drone costs 3k that didn't have failsafe's? was this a long time ago before tech got to that point?
@@Algorythmfpvit was probably his fault
You rock! Glad I found your channel. I also love the DJI mini's ever since i got a mini 2
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
Apart from the wonderful flying,footage,recommendation/promotion,its quite the impressive how u combined n joined ALL those various locations shots seamlessly like u travelled on a single day...very precisely planned,just for Dji...never flew any drones,but now u got me hooked...
start with fpv and you'll never go for mavics. sure it takes time to practice but it is worth every hour!!!

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.
Zack is the only person who can make a sponsored style video without it needing to be sponsored.
I don’t think Dji sponsor CZcamsrs
@@teebu that's not an affiliate link
@@BrianGlaze how does one tell if a post amazon link is an affiliate link?
@@jadesluv You can tell because affiliate links have special urls that incorporate the creator's name or brand. Also, CZcams regulation says that affiliate links have to be stated as such.
Crazy that Zach can teleport like he does!!
this video should be sponsor. Very informative with good footage. All the best in your ventures. I have both drones mentioned and take them both wherever I go.
It's great that your attitude lets you take things to the limit. Flying the mini in medium type rain to me would have been risky. Thanks for opening my already open eyes a little bit more!
German here. Here in Germany for every drone you need a registration and an insurance. For drones over 250g you also need a „flying license“, so you can prove that your able to handle drones heavier than 250g. And on top of that, you can’t fly over people‘s property. Has to be some sort of fields or „neutral“ land..
Es ist wirklich so schlimm hier

What amazing things you've been doing. It literally can't be said enough, we're thankful for people like you in this world
Great review, thanks for sharing.
the Mini 4 Pro comes out on Monday. I think I'm going to pull the trigger. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos.
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!
I've owned the first two versions of the Inspire, and honestly, the mini 2 has been my favorite and what I take with me to every shoot now. Not only because it can come with me anywhere, but the difference in quality is almost unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Also there is a lot less of a stress factor having a couple hundred dollar drone vs a couple thousand dollar drone expecially when filming in dense locations.
Hello "JerryRigEverything"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!
Thanks for the great info 👍
I almost ran into this problem while visiting Greece recently. Even with the Mini 2 you will want to go through the registration process. They are not big on perceived privacy violations so they regulate their use (much more so in the bigger landlocked areas) strictly.
Usually Greece wants to charge you a fee to register almost everything. I would ask to see the regulations which MUST be passed by parliament. If they cannot provide you with the exact law then is BS! It boils down to greasing the palms of local law enforcement. A typical third world country.
How did you register it for use in the EU? I'm traveling to Portugal and I was wondering how the process works.
I love how this wasn’t a durability test, but you still managed to get some sand in there
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere
@@sshah2545 I don't like sandy surfaces but it's because of a crazy ex of mine. Ha ha.

Great content as always, many thanks
Great video, love the rain test
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.
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.
Toronto Police or the Goofs Royale du Canada?
we all make mistakes
Thank you
I have thought about purchasing a drone and you provided some excellent information. Thank you!!
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 CZcams channel means you need a part 107 license, and flying part 107 means the drone must be registered no matter what size it is.
Indeed. So many CZcamsrs seem to not realize this, or just don't care. I think its a silly law, but it's still the law.
I hate to say this because I believe you should be right, but as of this moment CZcamsrs can fall into a grey area. If they are filming content for their CZcams channel it’s still considered recreational flying in part 107 eyes. I’d say in a couple years I’d say the laws will catch up and CZcamsrs will fall under 107 but currently they do not.
@@-b1ghorn087 The unfortunate truth is that if you are uploading it to CZcams it would be considered commercial, as you do have the potential of making money from that. My personal opinion is that it is a misguided law that will only make drones less safe (They have to target 249g to make it on the consumer market, meaning less sensors for collision detection and shorter flight time) and more impractical to use. I hope that one day the law is relaxed to allow greater innovation with consumer drones.
I also noticed that he said it was hard to recover when his gimbal stuck. Technically in the USA, you’re not supposed to fly out of sight, although I do it all the time too.😂
@@---capybara--- part 107 has nothing to do with commercial anything. I had that mistaken impression for a long time. I take pictures with my drone and put them on canvas frames and sell them from time to time when somebody likes them. Mostly scenery stuff. I do not have nor need a part 107 because it’s all about intent. I take pictures because it’s fun and I enjoy it. But if somebody comes along and sees one of my pictures and says I really like it will you sell it I do. CZcams is kind of the same thing. People make content with drones for CZcams because they want to. It’s not exactly a for profit guaranteed job exactly. Nobody is coming to them and says I’ll pay you x if you do such and such with your drone. They do what they want and upload it to CZcams recreationally and if they make a little money from it then good deal. It’s a very confusing topic. FYI until I took pilot institutes part 107 course from Greg I was under the same impression. I specifically had a conversation with the instructor and he explained to me the actual way it is. He verified my situation was legal and didn’t need part 107. He also gave me an example of if you were flying a drone and video’s something happen an you post it on social medias or whatever and a news channel contacts saying they would like to pay you to use it on the evening news for a story you are perfectly legal because 1. Your intent of the original flight was recreational and 2. You weren’t commissioned upfront for the flight.
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!
I absolutely LOVE the footage of the children! So cool!
Great to watch and much better than some of the official DJI videos. Thanks. Laurie. NZ
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!
man as an human i really respect you ,as an African i love you. thanks for you positive impact over the years
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!
Your the best !! Way to make a difference in the world 🌍!! Keep up the hard work 💪
Zach, have you looked into manual controlled fpv drones before? I think it would be worth your time to do some digging. I fly recreationally and I have like 3 times as much fun flying those then dji quads. Nice video, gotta love the cool tech
Arrested and detained are two different things.
The great part of the video is the Kid's smile, thanks Jerry for the video! 💖
Am I the only one who saw far beyond the drone but the work you are doing for the needy. God bless you
I hope you aren't drown.
The smiles/joy you put on those kids faces ❤
In the US you must register your drone if you are using it for any type of profit. Including youtube video's if they are monetized.
Nice video I learned alot
Well that was a top dollar presentation! Great editing!
A tip for landing and taking off - I do this in and out of my hands. I do this by letting go when I’m in take off mode and in landing mode catching it and it will automatically stop when it gets resistance. This prevents the drone from being in the dirt/dust/sand or wet ground.
You do that as long as you got no accident where you nearly broke a finger doin so.
In Germany you as the pilot need to be registered with your registration ID stuck on the drone. So that everyone knows its your drone when you crash it somewhere
awesome video as always
Awesome, thanks. And thank you for what you do for the kids in Kenya
Lol my first thought after reading the title was "why, have you been in Germany..". :D
In Canada you also need a license to fly drones over a certain size and when flying in public spaces.
No, in Canada you need license and insurance to fly in Canada over 250grams period. You cannot fly near people or anywhere close to an airdrome. (the whole of Toronto is airdromes for reference)
The rules in Canada are bad.
@@yourimpossibletoisgn That is partially not true at all. You need a drone pilot certificate and you need to register your drone for drones above 250g. If you are flying for sport or recreation, then you don't need insurance.
@@yourimpossibletoisgn for small drones Canada is good. No vlos required

Of course its Canada, you need a permit to leave your house there
Good comments. I have been wanting to get a
What a beautiful shot of those kids chasing the drone. Amazing!
Germany really bullied em into an unsponsored ad lmao
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". 😁✌🏻
Compliance leads to overreach, bootlicker.
Is under 250g legal in Canada, maybe Ontario? Not sure if it's a provincial law.
It's still amazing that for 1K+tax we can get an FPV drone like this to learn how to fly and shoot good quality video.
I would still study what the rules are; it's not the Wild West.
@@OviWanKeno9i absolutely man, it is legal below 250g to fly without a license or registration. 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 stopped flying my drone because it became WAY too strict in my area to do so.
@@airtec87 sorry to hear that, man. Are you living close to restricted airspace? There is a lot of instances where law enforcement will tell you you can't fly something, when they don't actually have jurisdiction. They can only instruct you that you can not launch or land in certain areas, but they don't have any jurisdiction over airspace. That's for transport Canada to decide. 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.
Drone regulations are constantly changing now a days. We all want less headaches when it comes to flying our drones and getting the shots we want for our creations, but we have to take the time and research the regs as to where we are going. Thank you @JerryRigEverything for posting this video. Hopefully it will serve to remind us, check it out before hand. Also, in the part where the gimal got stuck, I think it was mentioned in another post, but you can use the map instead of the camera to navigate back with. Also, you may or may not want to check out the Mini 4 pro that's out now!! Thanks for all the work you do, on youtube and in other countries as well!!
Map and RTH to return. It is better to have an automatic takeoff to have a safe RTH!
Since January 2024 in the EU there a new drone regulartories put in place. These mean: Everything above C0 class does incooperate automatic tracking features - on RF so basically they drones are constantly sharing your position (not just that of the drone - the remote) with the officials (few miles). Good luck with that! Next up will be C0 ... somehow understandable but also somehow crazy regulatory shit they're doing nowadays ... maybe the only way to combat potential drone thread (and its a real thing, considering what these things are capable off with their sensors).
You are incredible person and I’m honored to follow you
I was really tempted to buy this drone as an upgrade from the Mini 2, but decided to go with the DJI Air 2 S instead, get my advanced Canadian drone license and try to get into a little drone business besides using it just for my CZcams videos. I'm now starting stage 3 of that plan and so far I'm very glad I got a bigger drone. The way it flies even in strong wind is really incredible. I'll get a Mini 3 Pro when I make enough money, because like you said, it is the only drone of its caliber that you can fly almost anywhere. I flew my Mini 2 in Mexico many times and it is ideal for travel. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on the Advanced! Was it very difficult? And did you attend a flight school before you attempted the exam?
I'm in western Canada and I've been considering going for my advanced now that I have my basic. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@willpowerfpv3246 Thank you! I'm in Alberta myself.I found the online test hard and studied a lot for it, using Don Joyce's videos. You only get one hour and need to score at least 80 % correct. The flight review went well, but again I studied the material and prepared the required material in a binder, not just the app. So no, I never attended any course. 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 😊
You know it's not clickbait on this channel when he said he got arrested
I am impressed by this drone. Image stability and quality is phenomenal! Thanks for sharing.
Very well pur together and Informative. I have one and like you said , use it for the icing on the cake for my CZcams channel
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 😊
I live in the EU and have the same drone. You still have to register it and have the number on it because it has a camera. The only thing you don't need for it is a license.
Insurance is mandatory as well
Really great video mate
👏😁
I noticed you inverting the drone to shut off the motors and that made wonder if you knew about, or have ever tried, hand landing. Such a cool feature and it really amazes onlookers. I found it to be a lot easier than grabbing the drone in a hover.
1:38, yep that things now broken.
Always tricky knowing when you're able to fly. Especially if you have to register a drone.
The mini 3 pro looks great
Not only register, he has to have a flying license in Europe to be allowed to fly a drone. Then he has to file a flight plan, wait for permits and not deviate from the plan. Just as he would have to do when flying a helicopter or plane in the same area. Not even the fire departments or rescue services are allowed to just fly wherever they want. And certainly not with a large drone. It all depends on the size and speed of the drone. Not the speed flown, the speed the drone is capable.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 with a small drone (above 250 grams and below 1 kilo's I think) you don't need to file a flight plan, you just need to have drone certificate
Why are we arresting someone for something like this? Seems more like a traffic infraction than anything else.
@@wolfgangpreier9160HAHA what the F! I will fly my drone anywhere anytime without any permissions. The european regulators can kiss my ass.
@@truescotsman4103 the large size (not the one in the video) is a concern if it falls out of the sky. It's treated the same as other aircraft/helicopters.
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.
Good looking out! The kids were stoked!
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.
And I got a fake license and fly my Air 2s wherever I want, also in the UK. Some people are just too afraid of the Gov.
@@NeedToBike considering that most of our recent prime ministers had faked their way into their position I'm not surprised by that at all. Fake every single document the government issues. They're dumb as sht.
@@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've been really wanting to get into drones... I'm just terrified at the thought of sending all that money up in the air 😂
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
always start with something small to learn on, I learned on a tello, then got a mavic 2 zoom.
And that's the other thing. I'd have to drop a decent amount of money, because the only one worth buying would have to be one that has legit sensors and GPS to keep me out of trouble. One that the return to home feature actually works lol
This short video clip is too much enough to fall in love this drone ♥️❤️
That was one hell of a “non sponsored” videos I’ve ever seen.
Greetings from Germany 😂 Drones are very Hard in Germany so many rules...
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?
That’s an interesting question but I do know according to the faa you have to produce the proper drone documentation if asked by law enforcement
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.
Yea something isn’t adding up with this. Why was they acting like that about the drone in the first place? Your allowed to fly a drone. Why did the detain him? What made them come and find him
Here in Napa Valley watching you make a video in napa Valley never thought that would ever happen😅😅
SO Impressed with the DJI Mini series. I have been absolutely loving mine. The video quality is just amazing for the size
Glad your ok . We need you!
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.
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!
Great video. You made want to fly my Mini 3 Pro tomorrow.
You are such a calm guy. I would be so scared to see all the kids trying to take my drone once i land it. 😅
Exactly the same thing I thought!
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..
Still needs to be registered if you are using it for work related purposes.
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.
This was awesome to see the excitement on these children's faces when you flew this drone in Kenya.
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
how can i register for this license? costs?
Hey it's Mr. Clean!
Nah 💀
Amazing Sir!. So Awesome!
Great video... thanks
