OG version with 2 cameras under real world conditions (wind, some use of sport mode, etc).

Don't remember the conditions but my longest flight was 31 minutes, 99% to 13%. My second longest flight was also 31 minutes, and also 99% to 13%. My third longest flight was 30 minutes, 100% to 13%. All 3 of those flights were while I was in Italy and the batteries were pretty much brand new at...

Keep it clean and you’ll be fine, really nothing to worry about. Almost 300 flights on my Mavic 3 and definitely no scratches. And if it does scratch, that’s what the filter is there for — cheap and easy to replace.

The EU regulations are pretty reasonable for C0 and C1 drones, but since your Mavic 3 is in the US it probably did not come with EU C1 certification. You can apply for it through the DJI Fly app, but only while physically in the EU — and unless your trip will be months long you won’t get the C1...

This is exactly correct. You do not need to reregister to fly in any other EASA country. It should be noted however that while all EASA countries follow the same minimum EASA rules, some countries have additional rules. For example how you need to mark your drone (such as with QR code) or...

Absolutely crazy that the Nisi CPLs can’t be rotated — they are a serious filter company and should know better. They pulled a similar stunt with their square filter system for small cameras (Fuji X100, Ricoh GR, Sony RX, etc). I’m still happy with my CPL from K&F. I explained why I chose it...

Nice find on the list. It is clearly the V2 version of the Mavic 3, not the V1. It is hard enough finding a Mavic 3 with the C1/V2 sticker in the UK so I would imagine it is an almost impossible task in the US. Probably pretty easy in the EU though. Unless their policy changed in the last...

You have to upload your EASA registration number into the remote identification system, so anyone watching will know what drone is flying and who is flying it even if you don't land. The DJI Aeroscope for example will certainly show the aircraft model, and I'd be very surprised if it didn't also...

Thanks very much Dale, I appreciate that a lot! I was admiring your Z8 thread a few days ago — I am considering changing to Nikon myself once the Z7III comes out.

You can check the NT land map here.

I doubt the EASA cares either way, I think it’s just one of those things to file under the “crazy DJI decisions” category. As of earlier this year they won’t even let you apply for the sticker from the UK, and I could be in the EU from my house in less than 2 hours for £20.

As far as I know, no Mavic 3 sold anywhere in the world shipped with the “V2” C1 class sticker. You have to apply for the free sticker from DJI, but the catch is they will only let you apply for it if you and the drone are physically located in the European Economic Area at the moment of...

Mavic 3 V2.0 is labeled with the EASA C1 Class sticker for significantly less restricted flight in the EU/EEA. That is the only difference.

As far as I understand it, public footways only give right of way by foot. You can't even ride a horse or a bicycle. Also, I think generally the bye-laws of the land that the footway crosses still apply to the footway. So to be safe, assume it is not allowed. But of course the only way to find...

Here is the NT Land Map. I use it all the time. Important to note that while we do not have permission to take off and land from NT property, there is no restriction on overflying. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/history/discover-the-national-trust-land-map/
