Maryland Mavic Mini Pilot- Soon to be

[Jeff 240 LTS]

After many, many searches and yt videos I decided on the Mavic Mini. It was going to be the Mavic Pro 2 ($$$) but that may come later.
There is a thread on The Hull Truth discussing all things drone related ... Official: Quadcopter, Drone, (w/video) Q+A thead. - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum ... and this forum was recommended.
First simple question (I hope) where to purchase the MM?
I like brick and mortar stores to be able to pick it up and go but if there is an advantage to buying it online, customer service, insurance, etc. then that is the way I will go.
I've looked at Amazon, B+H Photo, DJI, Cloud City, Best Buy and others. Some have them listed as back-ordered.
Maybe through this forum if that is even a thing since I just joined?
Some youtubers have links to go through them.
Anyway, I will be using it as a tool typically close by on a boat when fishing searching for structure, cover, grass lines, etc. instead of running all around in the boat searching.
I am in commercial construction so I may use it there also when the situation fits.
Thank you,
Jeff

Hi Jeff 240 LTS welcome to Mavic Pilots.
Can't help with a brick & mortar as I am in the UK.
Learn to fly it before taking it out on that boat

Yes, I'll be comfortable before going over the water for sure. Thanks.

After reading a bunch more reviews and searching, searching, searching, I purchased it from Amazon.
I believe I'll get the Care refresh from DJI.

Buy DJI Care Refresh (Mavic Mini) - DJI Store

Shop for DJI Care Refresh (Mavic Mini) on the official DJI Online Store. Find great deals and buy DJI products online with quick and convenient delivery!

store.dji.com

Two replacements even if it is in the water. Yes, I have to be able to recover it.
ETA is Monday.

Missed UPS on Friday so they took it to a pick up location near me. Got it today. Charged up the controler and the 3 batteries.
The back pack looks better than expected. Will fly it this week.
