Yea...........

thats the one I've been looking at also

been doing a little research

there seems to be three categories when it comes to drones

the mini's , under 250 grams , don't need to register it , don't need a license

drones over 250 grams ,

Hobbyist , needs to be registered with the FAA

Commercial , needs to be registered , and needs a FAA License

this is were it seems like the more I read , the more confused I got , because there seems to be a pretty large grey area for what the FAA considers hobby flying and commercial flying

you would think commercial meant for a profit , where money changes hand , well , according to the FAA , not exactly , even if it's used just to promote something , even non profit , it could fall into that commercial grey area ,

now the mini , you don't have to register it , but if you intend to use it commercial , you'll still need to get a Part 107 license


but for a hobbyist , the mini seems to be the way to go , although , the mini does have a couple distractors , it has no follow me capabilities , and it also has no Way Point programing , if you want those features , you'll need to step up to the larger Drones , not necessarily a more expensive drone , but those features must add weight to the drone , and the mini is under 250 grams , but just barely

although I might hold off a bit on the mini , word on the street is that the DJI Mini 3 will be out later this year , and the hope is , the Mini 3 will have one or both of those features , but no actual confirmation if it will
