Hey aakashgupta,
Just wanted to flag something important.

If you're entering India with the Mini 4 Pro, you should be aware that importing foreign-made drones into India is currently prohibited under government regulations. This includes personal drones like the Mini 4 Pro, even if they're under 250g.
It's here: https://sansad.in/getFile/annex/256/AU2722.pdf

I wasn’t even entering India – just in transit to Mauritius – and still had my drone removed from my checked baggage without notice. No documentation, no contact, and getting it back has been a nightmare.

If you're flying into India and carrying the drone, even in your cabin luggage, be aware that customs could confiscate it, and there’s no clear appeal process. There have also been reports of fines and long delays at the airport.

So I strongly recommend you double-check with Indian customs or DGCA before your trip. It’s really not worth the risk.
