This is a nice price for the pro with extra batteries. I have been waiting for a sale on mini 3 or 4 pro for months and finally paid $1,000 for the 4 pro with fly more bundle. It may be worth it to get 4 pro with display and fly more batteries for $300 more.

Both Pro 3 and 4 are good; $670 is a good price. Two thoughts:
>I (personally) would buy a package with the battery plus rather than this. None of the batteries last as long as advertised and the true 35-39 minutes of the plus is worth it to me.
>I would get the RC N1/N2 like this package has rather than the remote with the integrated screen. I care about waypoint flight and 3rd party software. The API has only been released for the Mini Pro 3 with the RC N1 and may never get supported by anything else. After living with it, I like a bigger screen anyway. The 4 Pro does support waypoint flight but not the API.

My only concern with the battery plus that comes with my fly more package is heavier and makes the drone exceed 249 grams.
Do you know how the regulations are for using the mini 4 in Europe? I am taking a 2.5-month trip to Europe (Holand, Germany, Danmark, Norway, France, and Spain). The info online is not very helpful.

I would not want a anything over 250 grams in the EU. The laws are quite a bit more of a PITA than the US, In some countries the public seems dislike drones much more so than the US. That is at least my anecdotal impression.
Do any requirements you need online before you go, if possible. Take any test in a country that offers it in English unless you speak a local language native.

My personal ethos is when a guest in a foreign country, I scrupulously obey every rule. At home I am happy to stretch the rules as long as others are not put at risk.
I have read that to fly in the EU, the easiest category is c0 (under 249g) and the drone must be marked as such and also the CE mark. Are DJI drones sold in the US comply with these markings? I cannot look at mine since it is from before the EU class markings were defined.

Thank you for the info. I agreed with you that always play it safe when you are outside of US. I tried to register online for France and it was all in French . I will need to do some more research before leaving in the first week of April. Appreciated!

Agreed. I may play a bit lose here in the US. Not in other places though. I have heard of a guy that essentially paid off the cops in Mexico to keep his drone. In the end it was his fault for not knowing the local laws.
I think you can do the regististration through Ireland in English since they are EU.
I doubt there would be questions later since do not plan to go there. If so, I'd just tell them that I had initially planned to Ireland first and had a change of iteniary, why would they care.
Make sure you label the drone with reg number issued. I am still fuzzy on any test though, if there is a test needed to fly C0, recreational in A1-A3?
Let us know how it goes.

I think you're right. If you think about it, why would they care if you registered in Ireland or France.

Haven't dipped my toes into Drones yet much, so some basic questions:
The remote with screen does look good. If the remote doesn't have a screen can the same view be watched live on say a smartphone? Any accessories that make this easy? I don't mind decoupling components of an integrated system in principle.
Any other reasons to go for 4 Pro instead of 3 Pro ? When making such a big purchase, I'd like to future-proof it a bit.

For the N1 and N2 controller, it is required that you connect a cellphone to the controller via the supplied cable to control the suas.
