Spent 2 months reading here and watching You Tube to get full understanding of what I may need with my MP before I even bought it. This is what I decided and it came up to a little more than I thought it would. Sure adds up quick.

Mavic Pro - $1000

Spare batteries (3) - $267

Spare props (3) - $23

I Pad mini 4 128 gb - $600

Sandisk 64 gb micro sd - $135

Marco Polo - $220

Battery port covers (4) - $31

Lipo battery bags (4) - $16

Carrying case (MP & Remote) - $19

DJI car charger - $49

Polar Pro filters - $79

Leg extensions - $20

DJI Phantom 100 watt battery charger & cord - $56

DJI advanced charging hub - $60

Remote cables (2) - $17

Lo Pro BP 300 back pack - $120

Video editing software w/back up cd - $69

Total - $2,781


If you add 2 play quadcopters for practice (1 lost, 1 still have) it comes to $3,021. Hope it’s all worth it. All ordered and will be here Monday thru Wednesday. I’m ready and waiting. Looks like I may need a couple of vacations days if the weather is good.


Oh almost forgot. The wife gets to go shopping for a new outfit and I guess I’ll take her to dinner…Priceless!!!
 
I bought magic combo 1500€ and taco filters 55€. In addition I have the DJI care. I've flown many hours. IMO everything else is more than optional

You can save yourself a lot from the get go by doing the $1300 fly more combo. And as said, you're spending up to twice as much on some of these items as you would on amazon or ebay.

Especially the micro sd card. Is it going to be delivered inside a bag of cocaine or something? If you're ever paying more than $1/GB, on any storage for that matter, something is wrong.

For me:

$1136 on the fly more combo (amazon warehouse deal)
$60 Taco RC ND filters
$10 leg extensions
$8 controller protector

Total: $1214

I already have a photography bag and the mavic fits perfectly in it with my DSLR, so I don't think I'll even use it. I'll probably sell it on ebay. They're going for around $50, so I might be able to knock that total down to $1164. Although I'm also likely going to do the state farm insurance, which will balance that out

I was up your neck of the woods this past week:) We were staying at the Ameristar which is a nice hotel. I was at a park nearby and the winds were 17-20 mph and did not want to risk my Mavic in the Missouri River:)
Oh well, yes St Charles a cool place, but alas I left my $$$ at the casino. Yes I also left $$$ at the Outlet Mall which my wife loved. The only thing, sales tax was high compared to KY.

Just wished I had flown, but it was a getaway for a few days:) So good luck on your new drone and very important thing to remember, as much we spend on this "hobby" keep the wives happy as well:)
