I am no longer a big drone person. Little drones for the win. Current pricing on the DJI Mini 3 Pro is here: amzn.to/3JEuTXs Personally ive never had too many issues flying drones. I respectfully avoid crowded areas - away from cities for the most part. But... flying directly over police officers was a very poor decision. Especially with a larger unregistered drone. From now on - I'll only be flying the little guys! This video is not sponsored.

I was fined 250 Euros by the German Police - so I made sure to use the drone footage in my Self Driving Taxi video here:    • How do Robot Taxis Work?! - First Drive!

    That was a hell of an advertisement for it not to be sponsored! Honestly I was surprised when you said it wasn't sponsored. DJI should retroactively pay you for this 😂

    European drone pilot here. The new EU regulation on drones is pretty good, because at first every country in Europe had their own set of rules. However the rules are strict, and yes bigger drones need registration. Even though I am registered, I have the recreational A1-3 licenses and I fly Mavic series drones, I almost completely stopped doing that and my go to drone is now also the Mini 3 Pro. Less rules, more opportunities.
  • @Dupree403
    I love it!! Thank you for the work you did in Kenya brother and also interacting with local kids 💯
  • @StillBlazinTho22
    thank you for this video!!! ive been enjoying your channel/ tech testing for over 6 years now.
  • @UndecidedMF
    I've got the same one and love it. It's great not having to worry about registering it in a lot of locations.
  • @boboso7238
    Thanks for being honest about this, hopefully fellow YouTubers around the world will listen to your words as it affects the entire community. With the remote ID aspect taking effect soon enough this is only going to be more common place with people getting in trouble.
  • @marcfuchs6938
    That's some commitment to proper content right there. Creating a script and filming the respective pieces literally all around the world. This video SHOULD be sponsored, I guess DJI wouldn't pay a video team for ads to travel around the globe.
  • @irvdonaldson4137
    this video should be sponsor. Very informative with good footage. All the best in your ventures. I have both drones mentioned and take them both wherever I go.
  • @arbitraryuser
    One thing to note while flying in weather is that if you're flying above a layer of fog and start descending through the fog, the landing sensor thinks that thick fog is actually the ground and starts initiating an auto landing. That's one way to soil your undies. I had to repeatedly lower altitude, cancel the auto landing, lower altitude etc etc about 20 times until it was all the way through the fog layer. I have no idea what it would have done if I didn't cancel the auto landing. (I hope the answer is that it would have just kept descending but never turn off the props because it never sensed that it stopped descending, but I wasn't about to find out).
  • Hi Zach, been watching your channel for 7 years. Glad to watch your videos again.
  • @MalMilligan
    Very iniformative and I appreciate your humility !!
  • @miket4535
    It's great that your attitude lets you take things to the limit. Flying the mini in medium type rain to me would have been risky. Thanks for opening my already open eyes a little bit more!
  • I'm happy watching you travelling all over the world, completing all those exciting projects. Only few people have the opportunity to have a job they love! Also my respect to your wife for "letting" you stay away for so long...🙂
  • @gspina45
    German here. Here in Germany for every drone you need a registration and an insurance. For drones over 250g you also need a „flying license“, so you can prove that your able to handle drones heavier than 250g. And on top of that, you can’t fly over people‘s property. Has to be some sort of fields or „neutral“ land..
  • The quality of images and drones in the smaller class is so good that there has to be a very good reason to fly a larger one. I fly in mountains, often in quite windy weather; the Mini 3SE copes with all of it, at a very cheap price. Also so easy to carry over the shoulder. Nice footage1
  • @1nartaka
    You rock! Glad I found your channel. I also love the DJI mini's ever since i got a mini 2
  • @jkraft81
    What amazing things you've been doing. It literally can't be said enough, we're thankful for people like you in this world
  • @delta_cosmic
    Zack is the only person who can make a sponsored style video without it needing to be sponsored.
  • @kermitzforg
    Cool! I'm actually headed to Kenya next year so good to know about drone regs there. I have the DJI Mini 2 and when I purchased it, it was required that I register it with the FAA in the US even though it was at or below the 249g limit...just so folks are aware. (I think they started requiring that because the smaller drones have become so popular.). Even the Mini 2 is an amazing machine and the registration process was really pretty easy.

    Really enjoyed watching this, great content as always!!
