Although the OP is from Ireland so it should be noted that the Air 3S is C1 in the EU and the Mavic 4 Pro is C2.

Did they really pose a drone near that ring of fire or is that a composited image? So if they didn't ban already-approved DJI drones, can they sell them in the US or distribute through other sellers or once they run out of inventory which were already in the channel, they can't order more from DJI?

They retroactively put a C1 sticker on your Air 2S? I wasn't aware that they bothered to get legacy drones certified.

In some countries, like Europe, it lets you fly with fewer restrictions.

The other factor, which the OP may or may not find useful, is that it's under 900 grams. The Mavic 3 Classic is as well but the other Mavic 3 Pro and 4 Pros are well over 900 grams.

Are third party accessories worth buying? Especially batteries? Which brands out of all the names most people have never heard of?

There was quite a bit of discussion about them using Quad-Bayer sensors on all the new drones starting with the Air3.

What was the typical exposure of each shot, shutter speed and ISO? Particularly the night shots but also the ones with the sun low on the horizon must have required longer exposures. Did you clean up the noise before combining the individual frames into a movie?

Third video is nice, being able to scroll around. And it's not sped up in editing like the other two videos, with the warped perspectives. But when you're filming beautiful terrains, you want to capture as much detail as possible. That's not what this seems to be about, it's going more for...

Wow $1600-2000 for a Mini class drone.

What does that mean if they won't recognize the EU class marks? A C1 drone is still under 900 grams. What is UK1, lower than 900 grams limit? What is the enforcement? Are police in the UK going to make people land their drones to inspect the marks? That doesn't seem likely.

How long are the typical exposures? You're not using the automated hyper lapse, just capturing long exposures separately?

Maybe it's the foreigner tax.;)

Just one model or do they plan to have more models, like those with larger sensors?

Hi, I don't know about local pilots in Italy but if you don't know already, here is a national map of drone zones in Italy. https://www.d-flight.it/web-app/ But that map doesn't include local regulations from communes and provinces. Or requirements at national parks and zones to protect...
