Wow - that's a steal! Congrats and welcome to the hobby! I think it is a great place/price to start. I found, after having purchased the mini as my first real drone, that many locations I anticipated using my drone prohibit it (MA state parks/forests). I hope you have better luck where you...

While this sounds like a good option, if you have the fly more you can use the batteries as a power bank until you get 2 solid and 1 flashing light to put it in the 60% range.

Amazon has extended returns until January. If you are patient, you can buy the drone now and wait for the mini 2 announcement. If you haven't opened the drone (or maybe you can, unsure about amazon's return policy), you can return it after you have more information. I don't think you can beat...
