Looking for a Mini 4 Pro deal for my $600 budget—planning an Iceland trip—and I'm confused. I checked Amazon and DJI's site but the prices haven't moved yet. Is the 'Fly More' kit actually a deal? I'm a total beginner... oh, do I need a special SD card too?
honestly this comes up a lot every black friday and the short answer is you wont find a brand new DJI Mini 4 Pro for $600 unless its just the base kit. iceland is gonna EAT your batteries because the wind there is no joke and the drone has to work double time to stay stable... you definitely wanna find a way to swing the fly more kit for the charging hub alone because charging batteries inside the drone one by one takes forever. heres the reality of what you actually need for that trip:
A $600 budget is tight for a DJI Mini 4 Pro but doable if you shop refurbished. I saved $150 on my last unit by avoiding new retail prices. For an Iceland trip, the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo is mandatory. Buying batteries separately costs about $95 each. The bundle saves you roughly $120 over buying individual parts, which brings your cost per flight down significantly over the life of the drone. Regarding your setup:
I've been through three of these. For $600, find an open-box DJI Mini 4 Pro. Use a Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 128GB microSDXC. Cheap cards I tried years ago were garbage.
Can vouch for this
Exactly what I was thinking
