    Part 107 is not needed to fly either drone, Mini 4 pro or Mavic 3 Pro. Weight is taken in consideration for registration with FAA. The Mini 4 pro has to be registered with the Battery Plus you are using. Think you are confusing Licence Part 107 with registration.

    • @scottmckenna
      @scottmckenna  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I mentioned this in other comments. I said it wrong in the video at one point. I meant to say "you need a part 107 license if you want to fly the drone commercially."

    • @ClarkFamily2014

    I owned the mini 2, and for the life of me I could never get a good image out of it. The mini 3 pro has a pretty good image, leaps and bounds over the mini 2. I don't remember if the mini 4 pro has d-log, but that's something I'd like to see, since it's the perfect size for a wedding filmmakers. While the mini 4 Pro can get more close to 35 to 40 minutes of battery life, that's only for the larger battery that puts it over the FAA 249g weight limit for a non-licensed operator. Those new controllers are amazing though - no more phone - just charge and go!

      I hate they did away with the p4p’s mechanical shutter…. Electronic shutters almost always lose a tiny bit of dynamic range, but I will take the larger sensor over any other criteria.. praying for a x7 sized apsc sensor on the Mavic 4 . Cheers!

    You only need a part 107 to fly recreational if it weights 55 lbs or more. So, whether or not you get your 107 isn't a determining factor unless you intend it for commercial use. (USA ONLY).

    • @ClarkFamily2014
      @ClarkFamily2014 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is no need to upgrade from a Mini 3 Pro, in my opinion. It's practically the same sensor with a little more processing power behind it. Other than the obstacle avoidance, it's more of a software upgrade than anything. Dronelink is fully compatible with the Mini 3 series now, so you can do more than waypoint missions. I have used DL for a number of mapping missions of commercial rooftops within downtown of where I live. I own and use two Mini 3 Pros (along with an Air 3 & Mavic 3T) for my done business. I have done a lot of indoor drone fly through videos with them to create content for my clients to use online to show off their venue or space. The Mini 3 Pro is the most versatile drone on the market right now. It's the closest thing to what the Phantom 4 pro became all those years ago. It's not quite the same, but it's really close. At least until the SDK gets released for the Mini 4 or the Mavic 3 series (if ever).

    • @scottmckenna
      @scottmckenna  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ClarkFamily2014 I would disagree. I think the m4 pro feels like a huge upgrade in my opinion. I’ve never been super happy with a mini but the 4 has been the best mini drone I’ve ever used.

    • @ClarkFamily2014
      @ClarkFamily2014 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @scottmckenna So what is it specifically with the Mini 4 Pro drone itself you feel is a huge upgrade? I have flown my brother-in-law's Mini 4 Pro and compared it to my Mini 3 Pro. The Remote RC 2 is definitely an upgrade as it boots much faster, is more responsive when going through the settings, has less lag (not that the original remote RC was that bad), and the screen didn't glitch once while I used it flying his Mini 4. The drone itself handled and flew just like my Mini 3 Pro. Climbed, accelerated, turned, banked, flew just as fast and as steady as my mine. The only way I was able to tell the difference in the footage was the white balance because I typically have my set to manual, and his Mini 4 was on auto. The waypoints, RTH path, and tracking features are all software upgrades. Now, I will admit that I didn't get a chance to try out the low light night mode feature, so that could support your argument. However, that could also be more of a software processing or enhancement the footage than an actual upgrade on the camera sensor. So other than the obstacle avoidance and the remote (and yes, I'm throwing in O4 transmision system as part of the remote), what does the Mini 4 have from a drone hardware standpoint that you feel is a big upgrade over the Mini 3 Pro? I'm not disputing that it's the best Mini drone you've flown, just that the bulk of the upgrades seem more software and firmware driven and perhaps better quality of life experience flying it. Not necessarily as big of a design upgrade the Mini 3 was over the Mini 2 when it first came out. I will say that if the SDK ever comes out for the Mini 4 Pro, I would then consider purchasing one. But I won't hold my breath. I think DJI isn't going to release SDK for any more drones, including new enterprise series. It will not surprise me if they force enterprise users to stay in their ecosystem of Terra and other software suites.

    • @elrondmcbong467
      @elrondmcbong467 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@scottmckenna That's also true. In the end both drones have their target audience. The Mini 4 Pro is more for casual use and people that want to deal with laws as little as possible. The Mavic 3 on the other hand is clearly targeted to a professional use, where law usually aren't that big of a problem, because you have the required reasons to obtain permits to go closer to stuff.

    Nice review comparison. Simple DJI Mini 3 Pro is mine and I love it. People should realise that while the drone can easily fit in a jacket pocket, the RC doesn’t unless you have a fisherman’s gilet/waistcoat with a huge back pocket. Anyone know what that pocket is for?😂 I have a set of ND filters of which I’ve only used a 4 and 8 , plus a wide angle lens used a handful of times .
