...and here I was, going back and forth on buying a Mavic 3 Fly more refurb from DJI. This is one of the few times my lack of decision making may have worked in my favor. I was already interested in the 7x for the different look, but this new one just completely caught me by surprise because I...

I just realized I have never turned my Mini drones off via the power button, I just pull the battery. I hope I'm not hurting anything lol

Best Buy was great about it. I called beforehand and explained that I completely understand why there is a 15% restocking fee, but that I had documented errors out of the box with one dead battery. Surprisingly or not, due to the fact that the 3 batteries and Fly More all came as one package...

I was able to capture the motor error, so I am going to try to return it all today.

Yeah I would love that, but 26 minutes is my 100% charge on the two batteries that work. There is no way my kit will get close to that. 25 minutes of flight with 15-20% battery left is great Edit: I just flew it to test again and was able to screenshot "Motor error. Check propellors and fly...

Some screen warnings and 1 of 3 batteries dead is what I have to work with so far. I guess I will find out if this meets their bar for a return. If I was standing on their side of the counter, I would offer me a replacement of the dead battery only. With that 15% restocking fee in place, the...

I've filmed and watched hundreds of hours of drone video and I don't think I've ever seen that before. It almost looks like it is painting overexposure stuff. My second thought was it looks like a failing video card from heat, but that can't be it

Now I'm stuck with the realization that Best Buy refurbs aren't DJI refurbs. I think I have landed myself in a situation where I have, at minimum, lit a 15% restocking fee on fire for this Air 2S. My logic is...if I want to return my Air 2S and get the Mavic 3 refurb from Best Buy, I am...

I bought the Air 2s and I am now considering a return for a refurb Mavic 3 fly more. Same move as you because I have the Mini 3 Pro already and I am very concerned about the Air 2S battery life mainly. How is the Mavic 3 battery power for you?

I have a Mini 3 Pro also and I just bought the Air 2S new from Best Buy and besides one of the batteries being dead out of the box, the fully charged flight time is 26 minutes and my first test flight was concerning with real use. It is larger and louder, but I'm mainly after a better image so I...

No, it is a new drone from Best Buy. I didn't want to buy a refurb from them but someone will be if I bring mine back. Text of the unit from there: DJI - Air 2S Drone Fly More Combo with Remote Controller Model:CP.MA.00000346.01 SKU:6454877

I ended up buying the Air 2S Fly more (new in box not refurb) from Best Buy and added the 1 year care. I currently fly a Mini 3 Pro every day unless weather won't let me, as my reference for DJI stuff. TL;DR - bought new Air2S, out of the box one dead battery and poor image performance and...

I am right here with you. I have been going back and forth for months on going over my Mini 3 Pro sub-250g weight because someone else here pointed out that the heavier batteries in the Mini 3 fly more kit blew that up already anyway. I love my Mini 3 Pro but the Air 2S pricing is really...
