Finding a Mini 5 for MSRP has been impossible for folks in the United States. 5% with Amazon Prime, frictionless returns, and free shipping makes this slick imo.

Community Reviews
The Mini 5 Pro stands out as a compact upgrade for aerial shooters, with the 1 inch sensor and strong image quality drawing the most excitement. It is also seen as a meaningful step up from the Mini 3 Pro, while the Mini 4 Pro already covers much of the same ground for less. The main concerns are US warranty and service uncertainty, plus customs and availability issues for units shipped from China. Remote ID and sub 250 gram registration rules also look murky depending on battery setup and region, making this a better fit for buyers who can navigate the gray areas.
people who already own the Mini 4 Pro controller and batteries and mainly want to upgrade the drone because commenters said this can be a good deal when you're not rebuying the whole setup.
recreational flyers who are trying to stay under 250g and only fly for fun because one commenter said you won't have to register if you plan to fly recreational only and the drone is under 250g (with conditions).
buyers who want to rely on extra protection through Amazon payment because a commenter said you're covered for at least a year when you use an Amazon credit card.
buyers in the US/UK who are counting on DJI service and warranty support because commenters said DJI service is not applicable/available in the US anymore and that China-origin units can be held up at customs with limited ability to get replacement parts or drones.
people who want to add DJI Refresh Care after purchase because commenters said Refresh Care can't be added post-sale (including cases where a new DJI Mini 4K account wouldn't allow it).
buyers who need easy care-refresh logistics in their home country because one commenter warned that care refresh may require shipping the drone back to Japan (and they had to rely on Allstate coverage).
buyers who are worried about parts availability for repairs because a commenter said their RSR Pro repair was pending for a long time due to unavailable parts, and they wouldn't trust repairs or reissues anymore.
people who want a guaranteed sub-250g "no-permit-required" situation in the US/UK because commenters said some countries are not certifying the Mini 5 as sub-250g unless using certain battery setups, and that if it's not certified you may need a license/permit and could be in a grey area with warranty/service limitations.

Ah, I got it. RC (as opposed to the non-screened RC-N1), not RC2.

These have no USA warranty correct? Probably worth the risk for some, DJI drones very reliable.
