Take a flight out to Japan. Pick one up tax free. Fly home with it. 2-in-1 combo - vacation and shopping! Comes out to sub $3200 for the full combo with the pro controller!

Again NO WARRANTY

Again NO WARRANTY

Do you mean no US warranty? The drone will have a warranty just not from the country you live in.

Also I am hearing rumors that one day when M4P launches in the US then DJI will make an exception and allow those drones to sign up for Care Refresh via video verification. Still don't know for sure if that means your Care Refresh will allow US service.

This drone isn’t ever releasing in the United States

it already did with a few sold from the DJI store in NYC plus Adorama.

All the more reason why you should try to get one today because as soon as it's well known the Mavic 4 Pro is not ever for the US and the Mavic 3 Pro is the best the US has to offer....prices everywhere will rise on both!

BTW: I tend to agree, not sure how this can be pulled off and launched in America unless they do it in the next 30 days.

Not officially, those are unofficial inadvertent releases from retailers, not the manufacturer. However, those sales are legitimate and most likely have a warranty but although some were able to get Care, this has since been blocked.

Accidental. If you check now, neither are taking orders for the cine package. You still can’t get the air 3S and that’s been a year.

Yeah, let’s say you get care and you need a replacement. How are they gonna pull that off?

If the drone was bought officially in the US and DJI sold a care package for it, that's DJI's problem to sort but I can't see how it would be a problem anyway. DJI care on previous drones sold in the US has been handled in Canada and since the drone is for sale there, they should be able to continue to do that with the Mavic 4. During the time of 145% tariffs, US drone owners were complaining that when organising a DJI care replacement the drone was coming across the border from Canada and some delivery companies were charging a huge import cost.

I would suspect the same way if you had Care on your Avata 2 and you needed to file a claim. My understanding is a few people were able to get it thru Adorama/DJI-NY before they suspended and unless they cancel and refund, DJI is probably going to honor it as an honest mistake. Are you suggesting DJI has no way to get DJI drones into the country? I agree it's going to be tough because I have seen other drone models go thru some pain with Care Refresh along the lines of replacements, I dunno maybe DJI has a small stock in country which would make sense since Adorama/DJI-NY had a small stock too. Certainly they were not hanging out there with zero DJI support. How will the influencers get their broken drones replaced? To me, DJI message is "we're not ready to sell in the US just yet" as opposed to "we prohibit sales in the US and anyone who tries we're going to block you." I hear M4P sales to the US from Korea are brisk.
