Can I fly without limits with a DJI Mini 4 Pro?

The Mini 4 Pro is on everyone's lips these days: the new DJI harmless drone is the cutting-edge solution for those who want high-quality video footage, advanced safety systems to avoid possible mishaps and, above all, the ability to fly in cities without limits with a drone weighing less than 250 grams.

But what does flying without limits mean?
Is it really possible to take off with the DJI Mini 4 Pro without knowing EASA regulations 2019/945 and 2019/947 and the ENAC UAS-IT regulation?
Let's take it step by step.

WHAT ARE HARMLESS DRONES?
According to EASA regulations, all drones that fall within class C0 and have a take-off weight (MTOM) of less than 250 grams are considered harmless. Even though this type of drone can never fly over crowds, having a harmless aircraft means being able to use it in the presence of uninvolved people without keeping a specific distance imposed by the regulation and without the pilot needing to hold the UAS A1-A3 drone pilot certificate.
For these main reasons, the Mini series is one of the favourites among hobbyists and professionals: enthusiast pilots do not need to get accredited by passing the certification exam, while professionals can use the Mini series where heavier drones would require greater care in terms of distance from uninvolved people.

CAN I IGNORE THE REGULATIONS?
Those who buy a harmless drone, however, are not exempt from complying with the regulations mentioned above. Indeed, flying a DJI Mini 4 Pro certainly means fewer restrictions than using drones with a higher take-off weight, but the pilot must still comply with the same rules imposed for the Open category and set out in the aforementioned EASA regulations 2019/945 and 2019/947 and in the ENAC UAS-IT regulation.
The regulations are publicly available online, both on the official EASA website and on the official ENAC website, and it will often be necessary to cross-reference the EASA and ENAC regulations in order to fully understand the laws governing the world of drones.
Therefore, buying a harmless drone to "get around" the regulations is neither the right nor a viable path. Rather, since it is always necessary to comply with the regulations in force in the area of operations, owning a harmless drone will mean fewer limits for pilots, but always based on what is set out in European and Italian regulations.

The solution?
In these cases, to understand the regulations 100% without missing anything, it is much easier to rely on qualified instructors who can guide you through a drone pilot course (which to date is still the easiest way to learn better and faster), ask questions about your future operations and request lessons tailored to your own needs, so that you always fly safely and never break the regulations during your flight operations.

Flying a harmless drone, such as the DJI Mini 4 Pro, without caring about the regulations is therefore a wrong and dangerous belief.
Anyone who owns a harmless drone must necessarily know all the laws governing the world of remote piloting.
