I fly a DJI mini 2 all the time.

Leave the prop guards off and youll stay under the weight limit.

No need to register.

Stay under 400’ AGL.

Don’t fly near airports. Don’t take off or land from federal property.

While not illegal don’t fly low enough over homes or people to be heard or presumed to be a voyeur.

Don’t fly over busy roads.

You can fly over your own property at any altitudes under 400’ AGL.

A Drone is great for roof surveys and even timber surveys. You can inspect roofs, eaves chimneys, gables etc. Friends love pics of their homes.

Drones are great for taking group photos.

On and on.

Be polite. Use your head. Don’t break 400’. You’ll be fine.

If you get serious there’s tons of online support for passing your FAA part 170.

AGL = Above Ground Level.
Please spell out acronyms at least once when talking to newbies.
I am one.
