    I did research, but want to confirm.

    Hi, I can confirm what is stated above for drone registration. In addition all tourist spots are usually no flying zone, and it makes sense as a lot of tourists are there. I am living in the Loire Valley, and it is true for Loire Valley castles. For instance, you have also some helicopters...

    Mini 2 - vacationing in Canada

    Just come back from 2 weeks+ in BC. Because it was out first time, we targeted most toristic places. so we spent lots of time in national parks in east BC and Alberta : I did not use my Mini 2. Also spent 3 days in Vancouver island, but a bit too windy. Bottom line.. my Mini2 stayed...

    "Philosophical" thought.. Do we need to upgrade to Mini 3

    @CJG Hi, No real tricks in fact I just use some specific spots (a tree, a house,..) so I know what to overlap. I prefer to overlap too much as anyway the software will find out what is overlapped... than forgetting a piece of the landscape

    "Philosophical" thought.. Do we need to upgrade to Mini 3

    @CJG : That's a good question, and I have also this issue with the "Wide Angle" photoshot, and I do not know if the Mini 3 Pro sorts this problem out, as I do not think it is directly linked to the Mini model, but maybe more to the kind of photo. But Mini3 new owners might have the answer. So...

    "Philosophical" thought.. Do we need to upgrade to Mini 3

    @patc45 Hi, let me later your thoughts after flying with the Mini 3 in our Loire valley. @Phantomrain.org . Yes Orleans, France is far from having the rythm and charm from New Orleans (and neither the climate..)... and neither the drone freedom you enjoy so far in the US :)

    "Philosophical" thought.. Do we need to upgrade to Mini 3

    Thanks to @all for all your very interesting insights which are ALL of great value. And far from me to judge anyone.

    "Philosophical" thought.. Do we need to upgrade to Mini 3

    Hi, Beforehand, I want to emphasize that I DO NOT want to impose my way of thinking at all. Just want to share it... as it is always good to share diverse opinions. I am owning a Mini2, and as a subscriber of many drone youtubers, I have been submerged by all those Mini 3 reviews,.... So I asked...

    Traveling to Paris

    Hi , As said above all drones need to be registered whatever teh weight in central DB (AlphaTango) Once done, it will be OK for all european union countries. After it really depends on the weight, if it is over 250 you need specific exam. After you need to respect no fly zone,... so of course...

    Mini 2 crash/lost, questions about DJI Care Refresh

    Hi, @Areophile, I have a side-question, as I am planning to go to thailand next november and was thinking to bring my MM2. On sites about country rules for drone, it is stated that you need to complete a lot of forms, one requiring your entry visa number,... so I almost give up until I saw your...

    Hello, As you live in Thailand, what are the regulations in Thailand and cambodia (I plan to go in both coutries by end of year) regarding Mini 2. Do we need to register in a site for less than 250g drones ? Are there issues with airport customs ?
