Best Buy has a 15% restocking fee on all returned drones, unless you claim a defect upon return. However, because of Holiday Extended Returns, you are not limited to the default of 14 days. It's "returnable" until January 15th.I am watching as many reviews as I can and so far, I really like what I see. Glad to see it being sold at BBY.
Still would like to see what DJI has to offer but it's going to be hard to beat when you come in over 249g, you are still using a bunch of old equipment (goggles/controller) and it's based on Avata platform. Something tells me DJI can't wait and they are forced to launch now but they're going to have a lot of catching up to do.

I'll probably end up getting it from B&H with no sales tax but it depends on what kind of promo BBY has later on. Their price tends to drop faster than the other retailers but I balked at the 15% restocking fee when I first saw it as well.Best Buy has a 15% restocking fee on all returned drones, unless you claim a defect upon return.

Also available at B&H with no restocking fee.
The BB workaround exception to the 15% restocking fee on drone returns is claiming any unverifiable defect, like poor range or not getting the advertised flight time. They won't question it.I'll probably end up getting it from B&H with no sales tax but it depends on what kind of promo BBY has later on.

It can only be controlled by their version of the Motion Controller.I've seen little about how it is controlled. By where you look? I see trailers with people holding there arm out. I can't do that. Thus I wait to understand better how the drone is controlled.
The only advantage is seems to offer over the Avata360 is sub 250g for no RID and no FCC registration required with the standard sub 250g battery, but without a spotter, flying with goggles means no VLOS, so you are already in violation of hobbyist exception, and so need a 107, and must therefore register and have RID broadcasting anyway! LOL!also watched lots of reviews.
The goggles look great, although reported to be uncomfortable after a few flights. External battery doesnt really worry me.
Range and signal strength looks sketchy on some reviews and fantastic on others so prob need to wait until some "real" users report their findings
I think an advantage it will have in the 360 space, is that insta software seems pretty good and intuitive for editing the 360 videos and pics.
I do like that you can replay a flight in the goggles and look around as if it was happening live. This is cool.
Im pretty sure Ill make the leap in the new year, just want to see some reviews from our community first.
