Hello All, first post here.
I used to fly a Phantom 1 for work/video projects way back when DJI/Consumer drones were somewhat new. Because of this, there were never really any regulations.
Since then, I've looked into getting something for personal use, but I live very close to no-fly zones and was always put off spending the money, if it meant I can't use it, for example, to film my daughter and I playing in the local park.
I've also looked at the possibility of providing "drone" services when clients ask. I work as a video editor and mostly working on the standard talking head videos — but I've always pushed drone shots away as the who certification steps are expensive and I am not sure I can justify that, on the off chance I need to get an external shot of a clients warehouse or manufacturing plant. I normally point people towards certified drone specialists.
I guess I'm asking two questions here, possibly in the hope that the new Mavic Mini, will provide me with something that I can take and fly anywhere — without needing to worry about flyzones, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adam.
