Mavic 3 Pro UK advice

[W33K3NDWANDERER]

Good Morning All

I currently own a mini 3 pro & use whilst out hiking in the mountains in wales/lakes & Scotland. I've been looking at upgrading to the mavic 3 pro , I understand that it can't be flown closer than 70m to people or over the top of them either , but after an online examination/certification that can be reduced to 50m. Would the drone be geofenced unable to fly in the UKs wilderness like wales , the lake district & the Highlands of Scotland???

Kind regards

I think all the geofence zones are the same regardless of which UAV you have, so if the Mini 3 let you do it, there is no reason to think a Mavic 3 Pro wouldn't.

Be wary of miltary low flying training grounds.

Drones banned on the Mach loop after 'almost catastrophic' near misses

A3 category: far away from people. Far away from buildings. You'll be fine.

Make sure you're logged in to your DJI account in the FLY app before you head out for a yomp, a lot of wild Wales and parts of the Highlands are still mobile signal black holes, so no amount of tethering attempts will help you log back in if DJI plays silly-buggers while you're in the field (personal experience).

Download the online maps for N.T. property boundaries and if you're heading for the coast: the Crown Foreshore & Estuary map... that tells you where you definitely CAN TOAL with blanket permission.

As already mentioned: walking in military areas might be fine.... Putting a drone up might not. Check your locations beforehand.

Or you could sign up to FPVUK pay your membership & then fly it with

Article 16 Operational Authorisation​

which reduces the distance to 30m, 15m for take off and landing & allows overflight of uninvolved people as long as you maintain 30m altitude. I know sounds crazy but thems the rules
