Phantom to Mavic - From Metropolitan Detroit

[SkyWay Weezel]

Hi All!

I previously used Phantom drones and now I'm very excited to move to a Mavic especially with the new Mavic 3. Love the portability and new tech in the Mavic 3. Get up and running in no time! I am from the Metro Detroit area in Michigan and looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing where you are all from.

Take care and fly safe!

Welcome to the Mavic world. I also experienced the transition from Phantom to Mavic. It's for sure a pleasant one. Mavic 3 gives you the same feel of safety when flying it. If you happen to look for a case to store and carry it, feel free to check our M320 hard case.

Yu wrote that you previously used a Phantom and things may have changed since you last flew so there are a couple of Legal Things you will need to do…

If you have not already done so, you will need to get your TRUST Certificate. You can get that at the Pilot Institute Web Site (FREE…) . Your Drone weighs less than 250-grams (0.55 pounds) and if you are flying under The Exception for Recreational Flyers, you are not required to register your Drone.

I registered my Mini 2 because the TRUST Certificate and FAA Registration established me as a "certified" Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Flyer.

But just in case, here is the link to the Pilot Institute Web Site (FREE…)

Enjoy that new drone it is not anything like your old Phantom…

Below is the link to all of the downloads offered by DJI for the Mini 3 Pro, including the User Manual.

After you read the Manual, read it again, you will be surprised what you missed the first time and you will be better prepared for that first "scary moment…"
