I live within 5 miles of an airport so my Mavic Pro won't even start outside with the NFZ I posed with the firmware update I installed so now I'm thinking of getting the Mini. My question is would the Mini work at my location where my Pro doesn't work because of the NFZ I posed because of the firmware update?

Hello and good day Bob1102. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. Both the DJI Mavic Pro and the DJI Mavic Mini uses the same Flysafe Database to prohibit flight that are implemented around locations such as airports, power plants, and prisons. In addition I will be posting a link where in you can check a certain location if it is a No Fly Zone ( NFZ ) or if this certain area is free to fly your DJI drone. Thank you and have a safe flight always.
