Costco is clearing them out. DJI mini 3 is supposed to be release in a month or sooner.

Is this worth it over the fly more combo?

I guess the fly more combo nets you:

DJI Mavic Mini 2 Intelligent Flight Battery × 2
Two-Way Charging Hub ×1
Spare Propellers (Pair) ×3

Need to figure out if the cost of those is more or less than $200

Edit: maybe it's only 1 extra battery? Unclear as the fly more combo comes with 3 batteries and this one says it includes an extra battery. So is that 2 with this and 3 with fly more then?

I would not look at Costco reviews for such products. Youtube has plenty and more thorough review on DJI products, both short term and long term reviews on drones.

Just adding in my experience. Had the mini 1 and it was fantastic. Got a great deal for the mini 2 fly more bundle during the Prime day. The upgrades have been awesome over the mini 1. The auto pictures(panorama, etc) are super nice. Controller is just nicer to use overall and the better connection has been great.

If you are thinking of a drone I'd absolutely recommend this one. Not too steep and the flying experience is great.

For what it is worth, the DJI on my s9+ wouldn't show video on the mini 1 with whatever update they did. Mini 2 I have only tested on my s21 Ultra and it has been fine.

I have been flying the Mavic Pro for years. I got this drone at Costco to replace my aging Mavic Pro.

I cannot express how disappointed I am with the Mini 2. I thought because of the updated flight and transmission software, it would be a good replacement, but it flies terribly, frequently shifts around on its own, never does a good job hovering in place, and sometimes takes off for several seconds before you're able to stop it. It was so bad that I even exchanged it for another one at Costco. The second one exhibited the same problems. I'm now going to return this Mini 2 and will end up getting another one of the Mavic Pro drones.

If you are a first time user, you may not notice these limitations/problems, but if you're coming on as a experienced drone pilot you will not be happy with this drone, even though on paper it should be a much better drone.

This seems to be a good deal for those in the market!

Side now, with all the money I dump into gadgets and electronics on a whim, I still can't justify spending money on a drone. I feel like I'd be interested in it for about two weeks and then it would collect dust.

I read that the issue was with the latest version of DJI fly. I downloaded the version 1.4.4 from the DJI website instead of Google play from the get go and have not experienced any issues. But then I've only gone through two batteries.
