Hi there
I am seriously considering buying a drone to enjoy flying it and to take video/photos. In my youth I learned to fly a small aircraft (a Victor Air tourer) and took a few glider flights. Gave it up to buy a house and have a family (no regrets). Flying a drone seems like a nice way to fly again, and I have always enjoyed taking photos.
I waited for the release of the DJI Air 3s, and then for black Friday specials, but now I am conflicted between the Air 3s and the Mini Pro 4. The Air 3s seems better in almost every way, apart from noise. I have watched many Youtube videos comparing them, but I am still not sure. Several said that the Mini Pro 4 is considerably less intrusive and will be noticed by the public far less, and the Air 3s quite the opposite. I live on the coast and think that the Air's ability to resist wind would be a huge advantage (as would the double camera), but all my training flights would be in the local (usually pretty empty) park. I really do not want to be a public nuisance!.
Do you find that the Air 3s does generate negativity from the public (c.f. the MP4?). Two days to decide, or miss the specials.
Thanks
Bob

. Yes, fortunately no weight limits here (well, below some much bigger number). But, yes, it is pretty windy here quite often. They have a few retailers here that sell the DJI drones, and their stock levels suggest that they sell quite a few, but I can't recall seeing anyone fly one near where I live. I have not seen much of Texas, only a bit of Austin. From the map, it looks like you would have plenty of places to fly. Every time I look at a map of the US, I realise how small NZ is!
