The Mavic Mini is the first DJI drone to weigh below 250g. The rules differ in each country, but in many places, a sub-250g drone may not require registration, and may also be eligible for more complex operations, such as flying over people.” “Since they consider sub-250g drones to pose the lowest risks, they have made them subject to fewer restrictions or requirements than their heavier counterparts.
“In a fall or a collision, a sub-250g drone is just not going to cause the same kind of damage as a heavier drone. In a statement, DJI says regulators around the world have agreed that drones weighing less than 250-grams are virtually harmless. However, national key points like embassies, airports and government buildings are still off limits. Zahavi explained that given its small size, the Mavic Mini doesn’t need to be registered with aviation authorities, meaning anybody has the freedom to fly the drone and can do so when travelling overseas.
