    Mini 2 now or wait for mini 3?

    When did you get your mini 2? I searched the threads and saw a thread from June asking the same thing and if it was then I would just go with the mini 2. But seeing as October is round the corner a year on from the 2 I would happily wait if it was only going to be a few months.

    Mini 2 now or wait for mini 3?

    Hi all So I have decided to go for a sub 250g drone but seeing as the mini 2 was released nearly a year ago (after only a year between that and the original mini) and we have the likes of Hubsan zino Pro putting pressure on DJI surely the mini 3 can't be far off? Anyone else in the same boat...

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    @BigAl07 Post #10 has zero relevance to anything I have said and doesn't answer a single question or point. But I see where this is going so good day to you sir. Just to muddy the water further Amazon has in the last hour or so just knocked off £170 from the Air 2S o_O

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    @BigAl07 with all respect, you claimed my original post is "90% overly dramatic" Exactly how? I thought I was merely stating the current rules. I would argue that sentence is overly dramatic in regards to my post. Rather than condescendingly making this about me personally maybe you could...

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    @The Fat Controller thank you, I will do. Have not heard of them. I really would like to participate but the rub is that I run my own business and have two small kids. Travelling great distances just to use my drone isn't really optional. I don't have the time. The truth is that the rules have...

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    I can see a ton of positive to drone flying, it's the reason I decided to jump in finally. But if I can't take off from a beach or land in a park (generalising here but that's essentially what the recreational rules mean) then I am relegated to travelling unknown distances just to find...

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    Would you care to elaborate? How so? As I say I am new to the drone hobby so I am more than happy to be corrected on this. I WANT to fly. What is not realistic about what I said?

    Hello.........and Goodbye.

    Well after a grand total of five posts in a single thread, three days after joining and not having owned a single drone it seems my flying days are over ?. I created this thread purely just to give a perspective from someone who is completely new and wanting to get involved in drone flight and...

    Looking to buy a Mavic Air 2 and get A2. What does 2022 mean for me? Confused.com

    @old man mavic thank you but I still have the same question. Does it mean that the Air 2S simply cannot be flown nearer than 150m after 2022? OR will there be some way to allow legacy drones to "fit in" with the newer models? Also I can appreciate a company will always bring out newer and...

    Looking to buy a Mavic Air 2 and get A2. What does 2022 mean for me? Confused.com

    @old man mavic thank you, I appreciate the response. So, just to clarify the point, come January 2023 the Air 2 (or Air 2s which I am being swayed by) will essentially be obsolete and if I want to fly closer than 150 metres to people and buildings I would need to purchase a new drone with...

    Looking to buy a Mavic Air 2 and get A2. What does 2022 mean for me? Confused.com

    Thank you. A few points if I may..... So if I am understanding I could buy an Air 2 now and take the A2 exam which would allow me the freedoms that comes with. However that will be void at the end of 2022, is that correct? Secondly seeing as I plan on using the drone for quite a while at a...

    Looking to buy a Mavic Air 2 and get A2. What does 2022 mean for me? Confused.com

    Hi all. I used to be a professional photographer and have been wanting to get into drone flight for a long time and recently the itch has become too hard to ignore. So I have decided on a Mavic Air 2. This will be my first drone (outside of kids toys) and I feel it's a happy balance for me. I...

    Hey everyone. Rich from down on the south coast giving you all a friendly wave. Have a steep learning curve ahead of me and this looks like a great place to learn so much. Apologies for the questions in advance!
