I have a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Great drone. I have been flying for a few years now. Got my PIC SUAS license that allows me to fly for hire.

What did that entail?

It sounds bigger than it is. It’s basically an FAA license that allows me to fly for hire.
I assume you know that you will have to register your Magic Mini with the FAA. Every drone weighing above .55 pounds has to be registered. Flown recreationally or for hire.
From FAA’s website.
“In order to fly your drone under the FAA's Small UAS Rule (Part 107), you must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. This certificate demonstrates that you understand the regulations, operating requirements, and procedures for safely flying drones.”

To get that certificate you will have to take a written test in one of the FAA’s testing centers. It’s a pretty comprehensive knowledge test, including weather, SUAS law/regulations, flight behavior, aeronautical charts, and some other parts. It takes a bit of studying to pass it.

• All drones must be registered, except those that weigh 0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the Exception for Recreational Flyers.
• Mine weighs .54 LMAO
• FAA is busy trying to keep idiots from purposely crashing their airplanes on youtube. LOL

Fly a DJI Mavic Air2. Used mainly for videos created for fun. Considering a Part 107 certification but haven't done much studying yet. Probably will get around to it this year.

My mini does not need registering or licensed.....

Good one!! Just don’t put too many fingerprints on it. It might add 0.001 lbs. ;)

Just picked up a Skydio 2 Plus and love it! Last weekend was the first time I used it, during a weekend outing to Anza Borrego. Still lots to learn!

I have a Mini 2 and an Air 2S. I like the mini for hiking.

Got the drones out and stretched their wings. I’ve noticed the Air 2S batteries do not like to hold a charge. Anyone else experience this issue? The Mini 2’s batteries will stay charged forever it seems.

We just recently got a drone and are still learning how to use it. Curious as to why they are not allowed in national parks. Is it for fear of overcrowding or a nuisance?
