Lol,  they dont appear too.

But the Mini 4 must be quite a bit heavier than the Mini 3 Pro without a battery installed if it makes this much of a difference.     My Mini 3 Pro with battery and  labels, SD card etc weighs in at 247.5

Your scale must not be very accurate M3P definitely weighs at least 249g up to 250g

I'm sure we're going to get the overzealous cop walking around with a scale just to mess with us.

That's exactly what mine said on the scale as well. The 249g batteries weigh in at:

Mini 3 Pro - 79g
Mini 4 Pro - 76g

Accurate enough. Take-off weight of mine, with fully-charged battery ( ;) )  is 247g.  @DAFlys has strobes fitted, I believe.

Personally I struggle they would allow them to work in eu if they put the package 250g.  I can’t see the EU liking that.  But hey. They’re doing it.

This says nothing, maybe calibrate properly with a reference weight

LOL that is fun as DJI give out the 249g information ;-)

I believe these guys use not very accurate scales ...

in many places, law enforcement or police has scales in their car to measure the weight of drugs.  very popular when the war on drugs was in full swing and a few ounces meant the difference between letting you go, writing you a ticket, jail, or state/federal prison.  and those scales are certified.  don't underestimate that you can't run into an overzealous officer with scales.

Ooh great point forgot about that.  In the end, scale or not, if they want to screw with you, they will find a way.

If it weighed 249g you'd have no scope to install an SD card,   labels,   ND or wide angle filter etc.

I guarantee they weigh it if theres a serious enough problem,      probably not in advance though.
