I swear that DJI uses the refurb moniker as a means of getting around their contracts with retail partners. EVERY "refurbished" item I have bought from them has looked, smelled, and acted BNIB. It also comes with a full length warranty. Absolutely no point in buying new. If I needed a new drone I would be all over this. Alas the places where drones are allowed that are actual worth flying a drone are few and far between, so I am sticking with my "refurbished" Air 2S for the foreseeable future.

Yep, I and others in the DJI Action 4 "refurb" received brand new products.

I pickup up a new mp4 fly more for a better price but it's not going to be reproducible.

Abt.com had it $101 off 998 VS 1099 regular price, but I signed up for an account (abt.com) got a $25 coupon, also am a veteran which you can validate during checkout for $50 off $500. Then when it arrived there was damage to the box and the soft case and I could have exchanged it but after talking to customer service I accepted a 10% discount so 998 - 25 - 50 - 100 = $823 bought a hard case on Amazon for $40

I can't decide whether it's worth it to get the RC2 controller with the screen because it's only 5.5 in and 700 nits.

My S24 Ultra is 6.8 in and 2000 nits and I also have a 9" tablet I like to use with my mini 2.

Tough one.

IIRC, there were situations that you still have to tether your phone to unlock it or something, but I could be wrong. I saved my money and went with my phone and have no regrets 🤷

Decent deal for a current generation drone!
I run one with the RC2 remote and it's a beauty. (Coming from mini1)

The avoidance is awesome lol.

Always go with the remote WITH screen. The connection speed and the experience is better than having to TIE up your phone for drone use. Buy once cry once!

You have nice options there. For me it was worth it to have the all-in-one convenience of the RC 2, especially for taking it on the bicycle. A slightly larger screen would sweet tho.

I'm leaving my comment here as a warning for others about DJI and their refubished drones. Every time I shared this story/opinion on DJI reddit or Facebook group the bandwagoners come out of the woodworks defending DJI.

I ordered a refurbished Mini 3 Pro last year directly from DJI. I had a trip coming up and I wanted to bring a drone. Shipping took almost a week. Drone arrived, turned it on, and long story short, it was missing a vital internal piece and it didn't work. So I went to send it back to DJI. Because it was a refurbished unit, they said they had to open a case number, I had to send it back, they had to repair/inspect the defunct device, and they were going to send me another refurbished unit. The whole process was going to take 2-3 weeks. I said please, just give me a refund, I can't wait on another refurbished unit. My trip was the next week. I immediately ordered a new one from BestBuy, picked it up, and it worked flawlessly.

They REFUSED to give me a refund. They said they had to resend me a drone. I said, per your own return policy, I should be able to get a refund. They said no we have to ship you back the drone since you opened a case number. I said no, YOU opened the case number and return process when I told you that the drone I bought refurbished didn't work.

So they send me another refurbished drone about 3 weeks after I first purchased. I told them I want a refund. They said ok, here's your shipping label, when we get the drone back we will give you your refund.

2 weeks after they received the drone, still no refund in my Paypal account, no updates on my Case # with this drone. They then tried to say they never received the drone, they had no record of ever receiving the drone, even though I had screenshots and tracking numbers, and thankfully I wrote all that down. I spent hours between the phone and online chat. This went on for a few weeks. This went on so long that the tracking number from UPS actually expired, and thank God I had screenshots of the UPS site showing delivery. Finally they said they did have the drone, my refund would be processed within 60 days.

I finally get a refund 2 months later, and then a week later, DJI re-charged my Paypal account for the same amount as my first purchase. I was furious. That took more hours on chat and phone and talking with Paypal as to how this was even possible.

I think it took close to 6 months for me to finally get my refund.

DJI makes the best drones on the market and I absolutely love flying them. But my GOD I had such a horrible experience. I will never buy a refurbished drone again that I couldn't immediately return to a 3rd party reliable seller like Amazon or Bestbuy.

They have 14 day returns on refurb products so I don't think this is a common occurrence. I would imagine a return within 14 days would be a smooth process.

I quite literally just told a story of how I tried to return a drone within that 14-day window and how it was anything but a smooth process. I started the original return process within 1 hour of receiving the drone in the mail from DJI.

Yes, you did and it doesn't sound like a common or normal occurrence when a return is done within the return period. I have never had a company pressure to do an exchange either when returning a product. Unless their refurbished return terms state that, it doesn't seem normal.
