    Drone buying help - parachutes and Canada

    If you just need a parachute and it doesn't need to be certified by any agency then slap one of these on an Air 3S or Mavic 3: https://www.amazon.com/Flight-Upgraded-Umbrella-Parachute-Classic/dp/B0CSWHXQP7

    What Ban?

    What to chose to 2000$/euro price range?

    Air 3S if you want to stay within budget and have some extra $ for accessories. Mavic 4 Pro if you want to save up an extra ~$500 (the fly more kit can be had from South Korean sellers on eBay currently for $2500 after shipping). Watch a few YouTube videos comparing them. The Air 3S is probably...

    Is the Mavic Air 3s worth the upgrade?

    Haven’t heard that but there are plenty of examples of Air 3S pics and vids online for you to checkout.

    Is the Mavic Air 3s worth the upgrade?

    The Air 3S is a significant upgrade over the Air 2S. I think I would take an Air 3S over a Mavic 3 Classic. A Mavic 3 Pro on the other hand is a more difficult question. If your main goal is photography/videography, the cameras on the Mavic 3 Pro are superior to the Air 3S; however the “drone”...

    New Rules, CAA and Remote ID

    I don't believe the original Mavic Mini can be updated via firmware to support remote ID. You may need to purchase an external module.

    What is the best small drone for backup

    The best backup is another copy of what you already have so I'd say another Mini 5 Pro. All your accessories are interchangeable and if you crash one then that becomes a parts bin for the other. If you really want something different (or cheaper) then the Skyrover X1 and S1 are great bang for...
