But if it were me, I would look hard at a factory refurb Air 2 Fly More for a bit more, at $689 but back ordered. They have been coming in and out of stock: https://www.dronenerds.com/produc...efurb.html
In spite of all the hoopla about 1" and 1/1.3" sensor, the Air 2 sensor will work well for most in daylight. A curious lacking in the Air 2s is that the 4k60 is crop only, negating much of the benefit of the bigger sensor in the mode that a videographer might most care about. Neither the Air 2 nor the Mini 3 do that.
Cosmetic imperfections, bigger than 1", on bottom, top or sides of the camera body. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged or re-packaged.
which is no big deal. open box implied the item has been used and returned which is likely not the case with these. you will be able to get dji care refresh. i once received a new dji drone with minor damage to the package but not the carton so these might be banged up pretty good. doesn't mean the drone itself is affected.
this is a toy which is less than 249g which means there are no drone rules to follow. you can take it anywhere and fly it anywhere with no restrictions. it is exempt from remote id forever. /s

There are still rules to follow even for a sub 249g drone. Read the rules.

What restrictions you are talking about?
Drone always has restrictions, you can't fly in airport area or national park
He may be talking about DJI's Fly Safe. I live in a city that has an airport that makes the city a no-fly zone because of the city layout. When I bought my 1st DJI it would start flying go100 yards and return home on its own.
My other Drones don't have this feature/tool/PIA. I understand why it exists, but it can be a real problem if you are trying to do any work with a DJI. Again, the feature is great and has its place but at the time there was no way to disable it.
I don't own any DJI's now and there may be a way around it.
I would much rather have the onus put on me as the pilot to know the rules than be auto restricted with no way to turn it off.
If you have your part 107 license you (not you personally) know you can call the airport Air Traffic Control and give them your flight plan and get permission to fly in those restricted areas. I have only been turned down once and it was only for certain hours on a certain day. I have no idea what was going on that day, but I rescheduled.
Then again, he may be talking about something else.
I love my mini 2, if buying used I'd prefer to buy straight from DJI though. I paid $349 for mine on newegg earlier this year, then bought extra batteries on ebay.
I was tempted by this but Amazon says they are "Used, Acceptable" which suggests more than a simple open box, and to me doesn't justify the price. You can get a DJI-refurbished Fly More bundle on eBay for like $455, and I think that's more worthwhile if the drone is in better condition. Other than that I may wait for black Friday deals and hopefully they offer steep mark downs since the Mini 3 exists.

Purchased DJI mini 2 Fly more combo (DJI refurbished) @$378 months ago, it is great
