Good choice. I have multiple drones, but if I could only have one, it would be the Mini 4 Pro.

75% - Mini 4 Pro - the most by far. Mostly for social media photos and video. 15% - Mavic 3 Classic - for pro quality photos for customers or my own walls. 10% - Air 2s - strictly for contract mapping gigs.

Costco has them in stock with the RC-N1 controller, an extra battery and a data card right now. I don't remember the exact price - maybe $779? - but I just saw it yesterday.

I'd suggest trying out CapCut before you spend any money. It is the most user-friendly and resource-friendly option I've found. It works great for everything I do.

Since it says "recreational", maybe Part 107 pilots don't receive it.

I recently started looking into taking on some mapping jobs. I was disappointed to discover that neither of my current drones seem to be capable of using software like Drone Deploy. I have owned numerous DJI drones, and now it appears that I should have held on to one of the older ones. I...

Kinda makes you want to have a non-DJI backup drone, doesn't it? I've thought about this for just such a situation.

I have a Mavic 3 Classic and love the camera. I do a lot of photography with cameras, as well, and a lot of editing. Of the drones you mentioned, the Mavic 3 Classic wins, hands-down. I've owned an Air 2s, which did a great job, but the Mavic 3's 20MP Hasselblad micro 4/3 camera with adjustable...

I've noticed getting the controller closer to my wifi router helps the download speed. It makes me think the wifi radio in the controller isn't the greatest.

Great photos! Where is the bridge with the arches? I photograph a lot of bridges, and I don't remember seeing that one.

The same thing happened to me with the Air 2 and Air 2S. Fortunately, I was able to sell my Air 2 locally for a good price and also kept the Fly More kit, which was compatible with the Air 2S.

I've used an iPad Mini with multiple drones with no problem. I now use the RC2 because it's so quick and convenient. I think the RC2 is brighter, but the iPad was better for spotting power lines and other hard to see obstacles.

This article actually supports my position. It states the rule as I have described it (in Class G airspace), and states that the Part 107 rules are the strictest standard for drone pilots. Do you see anything in this article that infers that a different, more restrictive rule applies to...

Here is a good explanation of the rule. I know this article pertains to Part 107, but the rule is the same for recreational fliers in the US. https://www.dronepilotgroundschool.com/kb/can-i-fly-my-drone-higher-than-400-ft-agl/
