    Lucky to be a drone flyer in Canada. Sub 250g drones no registration, no test, no height, vlos, airspace(except class F) or flying over people or cars restrictions. Super lucky to have the freedom we do with micro drones. Can literally fly anywhere. Only must to follow is dont be dumb and use good judgement.

    Epic scenery will still look epic on a $300 drone versus $3,000. (Pro drones allow more flexibility in the edit).
    99% of drone reviews ONLY show epic scenery.
    The truth is that most people looking to buy a drone will get real bored looking at the top of their house and the rest of their neighborhood REAL quick...and for most people the drone will then collect dust for 360 days a year.
    Better to let $300 collect dust than $3,000.
    The beauty is that when you DO go somewhere epic on rare occasion, a $300 will slay.
    That's why Mini 4K is an absolute no-brainer.

    What advantage is there to buying a "learner drone" other than the price? If somebody only wants to fly occasionally or has no intention of ever using a drone for business it makes sense to buy this for a hobbyist. I get that. But why would somebody who ultimately wants to use a drone for business need to buy this thing to learn on first. I'm not saying that's not valid, I'm just asking why it's valid. If I intend to use a Mavic 3 Pro for business, why not just buy that one to start with, be super careful with it & learn that to start with?

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  7 месяцев назад +3

      If someone intends to use a drone for business, then I would recommend getting the air three or Mavic three. This drone is great for beginners and people who just want to film themselves or their family having fun traveling.
