I am wanting to get my first drone and planning on getting a DJI mini pro. I just saw that DJI typically refreshes their models each fall(read typically in September). Because there is no rush, I would rather wait to see if a DJI Mini Pro 5 gets released next month, but the Senate drone bill has me concerned. From what I have read it sounds like the Senate will probably not accept the house version of the DJI ban, and their bill, which also just had the DJI ban added back in, will come up for a vote in September and then head to the House. -Who knows what will happen, but I have a coupe of new guy questions and trying to see if anyone has any details(or educated guesses)
1. What is the confidence level the DJI will even release a mini pro 5 this September/October? I know it is a guess, but with the leaks of the Neo getting released, are people thinking it is now 50/50? or do they normally refresh most of their lineup each fall? -Looking for any info like "they have released a new mini the past (2)Septembers, etc." because I just do not know.
2. Can you actually fly either the nano or the Mini pro(<250 grams)drone over US national forests? I am not asking a legal question(https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/know-before-you-go/recreational-drone-tips), but an actual drone question. Will they actually fly everywhere? or does GPS make them refuse to fly over national parks and banned national forests areas(similar to controlled airspace over airports, etc.) I sometimes go extremely deep into the White River and San Juan national forests and just wondering if the drones typically detect(and refuse to fly) in wilderness areas of national forests where they are not allowed, etc.
3. What advantages would a future Neo possibly have over the Mini Pro? I saw a youtube where someone mentioned that because it will be even lighter and has enclosed props that is might be allowed to fly over congested people in a city park(which is normally illegal for mini 4 pro?), or maybe much safer to fly indoors(I doubt I even would unless kids are over at the house, etc.), but if anyone can think of any advantages where they are allowed, etc. let me know.
4. Any really good accessories for the Mini Pro besides the RC2 controller, 128GB card, and extra batteries for just recreational filming?
