Well, I caved and I bought the M4P CC, mostly due to this post where the 10% off from a prominent South Korean seller did it for me. I had some other eBay discounts and a few eBay gift cards so I pulled the trigger and today (4 days later) the FedEx package arrived. Final price for me OTD (tax included) was US$3768. I checked the serial number online at DJI.com and all is good.
The drone world is not getting any better, new tariffs might arrive on August 1st, prices in general are rising, lots of anti-drone activity on the legislative front at both the state and federal level, DJI is launching a few new models shortly with destination USA unknown (we may not even see the M5P), DJI Care refresh and related supplies dwindling or non-existent, and most importantly I am convinced the South Korean merchants have found a solid process to get M4P drones into the States with relative ease and no-hassle; a loophole that could close at any point.
After getting my package delivered plus the shipping details from the seller, I know more about how they are doing this and it's not going to last forever. Sorry about the pic but I intend to keep the M4P under wraps until I truly need it later. Plus I will have the option to sell it as New, right here in the Classified.
Summer is almost over and I still have a fairly new M3P (the only thing that bugs me about it is the limited O3 range) and I fly FPV 75% of the time. So unless things really change, I hope to activate it next spring 2026 and hopefully by then, DJI Care Refresh will be restored (likely under a new scheme) and the promised M4P accessories will be available.
