I have this drone and I love it. It's very small, fits in your hand, and folds up nicely in the bag, and I'm normally not a "buy a bundle with bag" kind of guy. It was so small that I was able to take it on my Norwegian cruise (security didn't catch it) when their policy states that they ban drones and got incredible shots of Bermuda. It's very simple to use. Takes great photos and video. The first time I flew it was right after a tropical storm came through, like first break in the rain after, and the wind was 25+ mph, and I had no issues controlling the drone. I got a couple of "high wind warnings" when I was up 300+ feet, but it's just a temporary warning. The auto land feature is cool but I like to land manually to practice. I also got stupid one time and flew it around the side of an island with buildings between the drone and I, when it was already almost a mile away, and it lost connection… after a full minute it reconnected and it was flying right back to me (it's programmed to return to its takeoff spot if it becomes disconnected). Super cool that he came back!
A couple of cons. You will buy an extra battery pretty soon because it's so much fun that 20 minutes goes by very quickly. It's also not the biggest/best sensor, especially compared to the Mini 3, which I may be buying soon. I also went to use it one day and it wouldn't fly due to some internal (I think IMU) error. I have the extra warranty through DJI and after chatting with support, they suggested I send it back to them, and they sent me a different refurbished Mini 2.
Overall I'm very happy with it and it's a good starter photography drone that can take some great photos without taking a ton of space if you're going on a trip.
If you're not interested in taking photos or videos, just flying it, I would get a different drone or one of the DJI POV drones.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
The DJI Mini 2 Fly More combo just went on sale everywhere for $509. I wonder if the $129 is worth the extra battery (Costco 2 vs Fly more combo - 3 + charger) and the extra propellers, etc.
From my math, it seems getting the
Costco deal + extra battery + battery hub + set of propellers total $486 before taxes as opposed as the Fly more Deal which is $509.
Anyone care to correct my math here? am I missing something?
Costco combo +
battery hub $39.00
intelligent battery $55.00
propellers & screws $12.00
total $106.00
This is their version of the Fly More combo.
Charging hub is $40 and an extra battery is $60.
I don't think there's a smaller drone with better flight software and camera system from this drone, other than the new Mini 3.

The prices of extra battery $55 and hub $39 are from the DJI website.

$55 x 2, $39, $10, comes out to $159. Plus all the extra stuff in the package.
So if you want 3 batteries versus 2, it's a tiny bit more if you bought the Costco deal and then everything separate versus buying DJI's Fly More package.

the Costco bundle has 2 batteries so to match the FLY MORE Combo you have to get 1 extra $55, 1 hub $39, 1 set of propellers and screws $12
$380+ 106 = $486
Please anyone let me know if my math is wrong or I am missing something on the extras. I think I might go with Costco and get the other stuff from B&H.

How can I find out where I can take it?
Did you bring it in your checked back or carry-on for the ship?

For $380, this seems like a steal for a drone with a good (not great camera), not avoidance or active track, but not the end of the world.
