I posted a few weeks back asking for advice on a Mini 3 and everyone was very helpful so thanks!
It turns out my Uncle and Aunt from out of state stopped to visit and during our conversation they offered to send me her drone that has been sitting on a shelf for 3 years. Well, I now have a shiny red Mavic Air in my possession, been flying it for a week and haven't crashed it yet! Loving it so far but the flight characteristics have a pretty steep learning curve, I guess it just takes time to feel comfortable looking at the screen instead of the drone but I constantly feel like I am going to crash into something unless I'm at 200ft, lol. Sensors already saved me twice and I trimmed some leaves once. It's a lot more like a boat than I thought it would be, slow turns that happen way after, long time to stop, weird sideways drifting in the turns, etc...
I gotta be honest I am pretty surprised how good the camera is for a half inch 12mp CMOS.
Here's my video from yesterday morning:
