Pretty good deal here especially because I can buy with no tax since there are no Costco's in my state. Might wait for a MVM though and have done $20-$40 off in those promos last year, and finally with $50 to clearance Mini M1 last month. Funny as they were doing $60 off in Canada.

picked one up, because it falls under the 250g registration requirement.
was going to hold off and see if they come out with one with all the sensors and other goodies but I don't know if they'll be able to cram all of that and still fall under 250g.

Is this better to use Indoor or any suggestions?

This is a very good deal! I just picked up a new, fly more combo on the secondary market for $550 shipped so I still think I came out better... otherwise I would jump on this. This bag is actually a better bag than the one the fly more comes with I believe. Yea it doesnt have the extra parts, 3rd battery or charging hub, but honestly I think a 3rd battery is overkill and the charging hub is just a nice bonus. Spare parts are cheap.

I have the Spark. These (all DJI drones) are pretty easy to fly. They are very stable. Just practice in an open area for a few hours before you do more daring things.

Also, Costco policy is 90 days for electronics including drones.

majority outdoors. while you can fly this indoors it is primarily designed to fly outdoors for sure.

sometimes people have to drive 30 minutes or more in order to fly the drone. unless you have several drones to fly or you have a car charger and half a day to spare, using two batteries (for 15 minutes each or 30 minutes for 2 batteries max) is not really worth a 1 hour roundtrip drive. for me, i don't even fly the battery down to 0% so i get even less time flight time per battery. i often find 4 batteries to be insufficient but i try to bring at least 3 drones with me per outing.

agreed the drone is stable and pretty "crash-proof" but the crash is likely to happen by a collision while moving and misjudging and/or a malfunction such as a propeller flying off while in flight....issues not fully under your control. everyone will probably experience one of these unfortunately which is why a novice should seek crash insurance. i absolutely agree the costco policy should be used for crash insurance if they allow it and i know what they say in writing; however, it is clear that others have revealed an exception and as you know, not everyone can get the exception.

got it but i have never been able to fly for 30 minutes which is why i am suggesting that a new user should not expect to get an hour of flying with only two batteries. nobody should expect to take a 100% battery down to zero. i always land around 25% or more because i don't play chicken with my batteries; that would be foolish to crash on a low battery if you have 3 other fresh batteries with you.

"Item may be available in your local warehouse."

I checked my three closest Costco - none had it yet.

Much better with the Costco.

Please ask 1 of your Costco membership friends to buy gift cards for you and ase those cards to buy it. No need to pay extra fee.

But can you buy with gift card without membership at costco.com. I know it works in store.

I shredded my props on my mavic air on day one from a small crash, and that was with the guards on.

Props are pretty cheap, though. Get an extra set or two if you're nervous.

Exactly the setup and price I was looking for. Only wanted 2 batteries and wanted a dji case. Hopefully I don't crash this like I did my mavic air 2.
