2800 will only fit the drone and not the controller.

Also if the Costco package doesn't come with a charging hub, how are we supposed to charge the batteries? Is there an alternative way to charge or is the charging hub absolutely needed?
Do you have another model that you'd suggest? I'd like something quality. My son asked for one and in my opinion a gift that gets him out in the world as opposed to say, a game console, is totally worth embracing. His hand-eye coordination is impressive.

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.
