$300 for a copy of FilmConvert to try and match footage between cameras better
$20 for a local aeronautical chart
 
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 did not need everything in the fly more package. I did not need the bag, I had a camera bag of the same size already. I wanted a rapid charging hub, not the standard hub that came with the fly more package. I did not need the battery to power bank adaptor or the car charger because I have a Goal Zero Yeti (GZ) permanently in my vehicle to recharge things. I plug my house charger into the AC port, while plugging the Mavic remote and iPhone/iPad in the USB ports on the GZ. While I am out in the daytime the GZ is constantly topping off because it is hooked to a solar panel on the roof of the vehicle. When there isn't enough sun I switch the GZ over to the dc port but only while driving. So I used the money for another battery and came out roughly to the same price as the fly more package.

Here is what I used to create my fly-more bundle:

After half dozen flights it is all worth it. Love this thing.
I'm kind of crazy when it comes to buying, I think I have to have the works. Always been a problem.

All this is not needed but like others have said go big.
