My friend just purchased a mini 3 on Amazon. There's no hint of any problem there...next day delivery, even. How are they getting around the customs issue?

Whoa…that looks a bit tricky flying around the falls. Did your bird get wet? Good shot descending from above it, and thru the cave part

Impressive building. Imagine being the roofer on that job. Or the one who puts the final cross on top. How did they do it? Scaffolds? Cranes? Anyway, nice collection of clips of a place I’ll never see in person.

Nice comp of that part of the country. Don't think we will ever get there, so it's great to see the sights.

I'm seeing the jitter in most clips. Definitely annoying. I wonder if it's due to the video editor used, or the manner in which it was exported. I also think the overly saturated scenes are too unrealistic, but maybe that was the OP's intention.

Great vid! You'll definitely have to plan another trip. We took a month to do Lake Como, Venice, Modena (balsamic vinegar, Ferrari and Lamborghini museums), Cinque Terra (Ligurian Sea and hiking from town to town), and Siena (short drives to all the beautiful Tuscan towns). Took trains to all...

Thanks for the reply. I really need to upgrade my ancient original Mavic Air, but I'll probably go for a Mini 4 Pro (if the US doesn't block all DJI). The techniques used for the night shots worked extremely well. Do you do that in Final Cut or Premiere? Great effect on the waterfall. The R5...

That was amazing! I could have sat with each scene about 4 times longer. I don't see which DJI model you shot all that with. Quite spectacular. Nights shots are very nice. Waterfalls, incredible. Good dramatic soundtrack that works well, although I do like more etheric subtle mood pieces. That's...

Nice sharp footage. Looks beautiful there. Is your mini 3 sufficient for your needs? Would you upgrade to the 4? I'm still flying the original Air, but I like the smaller form of the mini.

Nice. Brings back memories of a backpacking trip there in 1976. I have a similar shot. It had been pouring rain on our ride to the park, and totally socked in the day before. We woke up to clear blue skies with the mountain gleaming in the distance. Awesome place.

Yeah...I'm thinking I bought this original Air about 8-10 years ago. I had to work to get replacement batteries for it, tho. I've thought about upgrading to the mini 4 pro, but as long as this one still works, I'm happy. I'm wondering what the ban on DJI will do to our hobby, and availability of...

My ancient, version 1, Mavic Air is still going strong. A glorious 3 weeks of drinking in the vitamin Sea!

Thanks. You've got a lot of nice extras that will be worth it for someone. I may go with a 4 pro, if this whole US banning DJI thing doesn't blow up the market. I guess it's stated that you can still fly what you have, but just won't be able to buy new...if/when it passes the next step.

How old is this unit? Can you venture a guess as to how many hours it's been flown? Any significant downsides to this model? I have the original Air and would love to upgrade.

Thanks for that overview. I didn't know it could not be controlled with my iPhone. Is the same true with the Mini 4 Pro, in terms of less stability in the wind? Probably, since it's the same weight. I've been very happy with the air...maybe a newer Air would be better.
