FAQs

Do I need to register this drone? A. In many regions (like the US), recreational drones under 250g do not need to be registered, but you must check local laws. Using the extended battery increases the weight above 250g.

Does it follow you automatically? A. Yes — the Mini 3 Pro features FocusTrack (ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, and Point of Interest 3.0) to automatically follow subjects.
