This is a good deal for a drone in the US with a warranty in these times. This is a strange hybrid of DJI Mini 4K (Basic) drone and higher end drone like Mini 4 Pro that has some lesser specs of the mini 4K, but some of nicer features of the Mini 3/4/5 Pro. The camera is a tiny sensor like 1/2.3" and it doesn't rotate to vertical mode, so image quality isn't the best compared to Mini 3/3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro. It includes some of the auto tracking features and LOG video encoding of the nicer drones, but skips the object avoidance, so there's a chance it just flies into the side of a building as its tracking you. Watch some videos on YouTube and decide. You can still buy grey market DJI from Amazon, and could be worth it depending on what you are looking for. I recently snagged a mini 5 Pro because sadly, there is no one competing at the same level with DJI at the moment and you will likely not be able to get them here in the US in the near future.

I get the features on the higher end models of DJI blows this out of the water, but the Mini 4k is the closest competitor for this and I think this is far superior to that.
I bought this a couple weeks ago at full price from Costco. I'll be getting the sale price due to my purchase 30 days or less prior to sale. The drone is very intuitive and sturdy even in winds. I just don't know yet how to get it to fly and follow me yet. Any videos suggestions off yt?
