I have the RC remote with the screen. It's OK for casual use but there are drawbacks:
-no screen casting and no hdmi out
-no sideloading apps so likely no support for Litchi or any kind of mission mode
-low res screen recording
-its only 5.5"
-lots of complaints about urban range

Upsides include decently bright screen; cleaner package without external cables; and quicker to launch with less setup.

For the range issue, recent updates helped and there is a simple external antenna hack. If I had it to do again, I would get this bundle and use my big screen OLED tablet. Of course it all depends on how you use it; those drawbacks may not matter to many.

link does not work.

correct link https://www.costco.com/dji-mini-3...51247.html

also note that this bundle does not include the new controller with the screen. It's the old style remote that operates with your phone.

Decent price but you really want the DJI RC remote (the one with the screen) for this drone. If it came with that it'd be an amazing deal. I don't recommend this package since it doesn't come with that

Why? An ipad or even a phone will have a bigger screen?

It is not about only the size..Rc Remote doesn't glare in the sun like phones and no hassle to connect your phone, worry about charge of your phone or application crash etc.

This is essentially DJI Mini 3 pro ($759) with the Fly More kit ($189) minus the case and extra propellors coming in the fly more kit.

So you save little over $100 when buying this Costco bundle, but dont get the case/bag and some extras of the Fly More kit.

Good deal for those interested in Mini 3 Pro (unless you want the new RC which is about $150 extra vs regular RC), as there are no major deals yet for this relatively new release.

this deal does not specifically say but it appears the 3 batteries are standard batteries and not the extended batteries. so the deal is ok but if you buy this drone in the u.s. i suggest you use the extended batteries and consider registration.

Funny, i have been researching this drone and was planning on buying it soon. Randomly this AM i thought hey i should check trusty costco. Sure enough, they have this package, which saves you some money from any others available, and is costco, so easy return if there are issues. Went ahead and ordered it, and then later got the notification that the deal was posted here! Good deal especially since some vendors are backordered on some of the packages. Costco in my area offered free next day shipping too, so should be arriving tomorrow!

Agreed. There's a big up charge for that controller. I grabbed an iPad mini6 off of CL for 320. When I'm not flying, I have an extra iPad to play with.

The separate screen allows you to drop bombs on the Ruskies while you video your escapades with your phone for Tiktok. Duh!

The big upside to the remote is that it does not dim. Many (maybe all) modern phones dim significantly in sun/outdoors after only a few minutes at max brightness.

I bought the Spark bundle for like $400 when it came out. Is this drone that much better? I would have never considered the Spark for $800+. Would have laughed at the thought even. This seems really high priced. Haven't paid attention though since I bought the Spark.
