Does anyone know if there are actually gonna be any legit DJI Mini 5 Pro Black Friday bundles this year because I keep looking and I feel like Im losing my mind? Ive been trying to plan this out for my trip to the Olympic Peninsula in late December—finally getting out of the city for a bit—and I really wanted to have a solid drone setup to catch the fog over the trees but the pricing is just all over the place. I have about $1000 saved up which I thought would be enough for a Fly More combo if there was a decent sale but everything I see online right now is just the standard MSRP and it’s stressing me out.
I did some digging and saw a few threads on some drone forums saying that DJI basically never discounts their newest flagship minis during the first holiday season, but then I saw a YouTube video claiming that Costco might have a special 'bundle' with the RC 2 controller and an extra battery for way cheaper. But then when I went to the Costco site I couldnt find anything except the Mini 4 Pro bundle which isnt what I want... or maybe it is? I dont know. Some people say the 4 Pro is basically the same but I really want the better sensors on the 5 because I'm terrified of crashing it into a hemlock tree or something.
I checked B&H and Adorama too and they have these 'Value Bundles' but honestly its just like a free lens cloth and a cheap carrying case that looks like it would fall apart if you breathed on it wrong so it doesnt really feel like a Black Friday deal at all. Does DJI usually wait until the actual Friday to drop the real prices or is what we see now on their 'Holiday Gift Guide' basically it? I’m worried that if I wait too long it’ll go on backorder and I won’t have it before I leave on the 20th. Kinda feels like a gamble at this point tbh and I just want to know if I should pull the trigger now or keep waiting for a price drop that might not even happen.
ngl the DJI Mini 5 Pro doesnt exist yet. Just grab the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo since it already has the 360 sensors you need for those trees.
Did this last week, worked perfectly
