My son has recently purchased a DJI Mavic Mini which is an amazing (to me) piece of kit. The tech in terms of aeronautics, battery, range and electronics, camera and gimble are fantastic for a device this size.

I've read the rules and they all seem reasonable to me except the line of sight bit. The Mini is so small that it is easily lost in the background sky at say 30-40 metres. This on a device that has a range of kilometers.

Stay 5kms from an airport with a tower, no restrictions without just don't fly if a plane comes in
Maximum altitude is 120m
Stay 30m away from other people
Stay line of site with your drone, physically, not what you see on your screen
And last of all don't fly at night

I don't find this at all restrictive and really enjoy my drone flying experience.
