Yes, it's missing the "$0.97" denoting clearance. It's kind of a mystery right now. I don't know of any Costco price trackers.

Interesting, thank you! I was also having a hard time price tracking it, which is why I asked haha

This price has been going on since feb.. sale end date has been moving weekly since then.
I looked up my price. I paid $729.99 on 7/4/23 for it. That was after a $110 one day coupon that day and the best price by that date. On 7/5/23 it was back to $839.39, which was pretty good at the the ime.

Quality of Kirkland products has cratered, and the dot-com side of the business has been a complete shit-show.
My buddy and I have been wanting to futz around with a drone for a while now, and Costco is still, warts and all, the best option with the lowest barrier for entry. I may give this one a shot since it's a 90-day return window.
>I (personally) would buy a package with the battery plus rather than this. None of the batteries last as long as advertised and the true 35-39 minutes of the plus is worth it to me.
>I would get the RC N1/N2 like this package has rather than the remote with the integrated screen. I care about waypoint flight and 3rd party software. The API has only been released for the Mini Pro 3 with the RC N1 and may never get supported by anything else. After living with it, I like a bigger screen anyway. The 4 Pro does support waypoint flight but not the API.
The whole remote control fiasco for these drones is giving me a headache lol. Im trying to decide which is best and where I want to invest my money.
So the remote control with display can't do waypoint tracking? And just so I'm understanding, you'd rather plug your phone into the remote and use it as the screen? I thought it would be much easier to get the controller that has the integrated screen.. Any advice/thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Do you know how the regulations are for using the mini 4 in Europe? I am taking a 2.5-month trip to Europe (Holand, Germany, Danmark, Norway, France, and Spain). The info online is not very helpful.
Europe, in a lot more cases, is friendly to sub 250 and much more restrictive to >250. If you get the fly more and have 3 batteries you should be fine without having to go over 250

On YouTube I watched a video on how to hack a way point flight, you create a way point flight with one stop then edit it on a computer and put in your points. Does not appear too strenuous.
I'm happy to have the rc2, my phone isn't getting texts or calls interrupting flying. Have that happen once and you'll never want to have your phone as part of the drone controls again, or like a buddy of mine have your phone slip out when you let the controller dangle by a neck strap. His iPhone hit the deck, luckily not breaking the screen. The rc2 avoids all of that.

Mini 3 Pro doesn't do waypoints as designed by DJI. The remote has nothing to do with it.
