I have a Mavic Mini 3 Pro... it's amazing technology with
all sorts of canned video and photo modes and flight
paths. It even has automatic obstacle avoidance for
'follow-me' mode. Heck of device!

Interesting. I didn’t know about the 250 gm transition to
the strict rules. When I looked into this about 4-5 years ago,
you couldn’t use one within a large radius of an airport. So
YHZ and Shearwater eliminated about half of HRM. Then
there was the rule about not flying them around houses
that I figured would eliminate the rest of HRM. And you had
to register it . . . and get some permit. I threw up my
hands at this point.
Probably all those rules applied to the ones that were
above 250 gm. I have often thought they would help inspect
roofs, fly around the property, etc. Conversely, if I saw one
over MY property, I would shoot it down. That’d be fun.
BOOM, BOOM! A 12-gauge double barrel shotgun. Pieces
of drone everywhere. I suppose there’s a law against that,
too! :-)
I see the one you mentioned (I think) on Amazon for
about $1000. Lot of money, but I suppose you can’t take
it with you.
