Mavic 4 Pro Fly More Combo In Stock at B&H?

[Landshark99]

How about FCC?

I presume it is. I will check next time I fly it but I just looked again at an image of the bottom of the box and it says that the product complies with all FCC rules for both the drone and the controller, with two FCC numbers. It also says that "This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules"
Also the bottom has two different warnings in 12 different languages, to me it seems like all these drones are a global version, and the country codes are for the right cord , some sales thing with DJI or a warranty coverage thing. Not a feature or performance change. If there was some different drone inside I think it would have to say something more than just a country code.

when I get mine hopefully soon, I'm going to activate it right away and check both the FCC and RID then report my results... (I will do the firmware updates first to both the controller and the M4P)

Appreciate it. How will we know if a sw update delivered these updates unless we compare both the before and after to see if there are any changes? I don't see anything in the release notes but they don't always tell the full story.

I think we've determined that all boxes are the same regardless of the two different drones that are inside. Since the box is a marketing tool, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate. In this case, if you are a Korean buyer and you live in Korea and you buy the KR sku and the box your drones come in has FCC and RID all over it, not going to matter to you. If I were DJI, there's no way I would print up separate boxes just to remove that language for KR buyers. I would simply print the relevant information on the sticker and leave it at that. I suspect it is but for us to have solid proof, we need to focus on the drone only for results.

It was not a software update. I tried it at the original 100 FW and it was transmitting RID and transmission levels were the same at 110db. Several threads and hundreds of posts on this concern that just doesn't exist. At this time there is no of evidence that the KR's are any different other than the KR on the box and no US cord. It's all been speculation with no facts. All M4P's are created equal.

Ok sorry I didn't see a single post where the user pointed out the sw version and then tested it for RID (or FCC) + date and said it was detected. I've seen a lot of other stuff but I haven't see that. But I don't see everything so if you happen to know where you saw it, please let me know.

Again, I've seen "I took it out of the box and it had RID" and I've seen "I never performed a sw update and it had RID" and I've seen "I was forced to update the sw but I have RID" and similar but I've never seen the sw version + RID/FCC + date statement except in this post so thanks for pointing that out.

What we are doing at this point is trying to establish a reason why someone would make these claims. It would be nice to know why. It's not an absurd claim such as if someone said the third camera doesn't work on drones from Japan, we wouldn't bother with that one. Again, if you sold your drone and the buyer came back and said it doesn't do FCC, what would you do/say?

There is no sticker saying that the drone inside is different than any other, just the KR designation which could mean anything else more to do with marketing or more likely warranty coverage, no US warranty but one for Korea.
I do not see how they could print all that on the box and then not put an advisory sticker explaining the change from what is printed.

I did sell one of my KR's. If he claimed this I would ask the same that I am asking anyone here. Prove it, show me evidence it is not in FCC. So far nothing, all speculation and hearsay. I am fortunate to have one from Japan and can compare the two. The 3rd camera works!

The sticker clearly indicates the contents in the box have something different than every other M4P. Despite the boxes all being identical, the sticker is a good way to indicate the difference from an inventory or logistical perspective, certainly not having to do with the warranty (we know that for sure but there are only 2 types of stickers but there are dozens of different warranties). It's not an advisory sticker, it meant for shipping and sales related stuff.

So again, the sticker is not used to explain away the changes, only to indicate there is a change. For example, if you are a dealer in KR and you get a M4P and you scan the barcode to take it into your store inventory, it's going to beep if that upc doesn't match. The KR dealer doesn't care for what reason but only that there is a mismatch and he needs to return/exchange that lot. He doesn't need to know why. The sticker means nothing to the ordinary customer but us folks on the forum have a way of decoding it, it wasn't me that pointed this out so I leave it to someone else to explain it fully.

 

[Landshark99]

The sticker does not clearly say anything to the consumer. If one notices the sticker, there is the KR after the description. From what I can find on line, it seems that South Korean drones have to comply with some specific South Korean frequency regulations and laws, one of those is the automatic switching between FCC and CE. There also may be some software adding specific no fly zones for sensitive areas in South Korea. The
I still think the newer drones switch on activation by GPS to where you are. The notice from that vendor may have been for older drones sold in the past, where switching was more involved.I just checked the transmission page on mine and it is for sure FCC, it is also transmitting RID. So I see no issue with mine made on 7/25.

Update on my thoughts: I am convinced the FCC vs CE is not an issue on the M4P. I have seen the same "warning" language posted on other ebay drone listings from Korea such as the Mini and the Air and I hate to say it but I think this might actually be a translation issue as in an attempt to warn Korean buyers that you won't get FCC out of this drone while flying in Korea. Either way, combined with the FCC details provided in this thread and a few others, I'm convinced; thanks everyone.

That makes a lot of sense, as the majority of purchasers of Korean eBay offerings are likely South Korean, and the box says FCC all over it, but in Korea, it's range will still be limited to CE and only 15km. Those FCC/CE disclosures are likely intended solely for South Korea.

On the other hand, no Korean sellers are mentioning anything about RID because there is no RID requirement in South Korea, so even if it were to be broadcast, no one is expecting it to be received, so it's a non-issue. It is only in the U.S. that it matters, and the box states it is RID compliant, and so it will broadcast RID in the U.S..

I believe MSRP is $2799 so that's a bit more than I want to pay....last month. This month? We have no idea yet if the tariffs have started to kick in on our favorite Japanese and Korea ebay sellers so this might turn out to be a good deal especially if you have Payboo and can defer $330 in sales tax.

Also it appears you can add Allstate protection (2 yrs) for $1000.

Wow, $1000 for 2 years of insurance? Is that US$?

 

[mavic3usa]

Yes it is.

Allstate Insurance is realistically priced based upon risk, and full replacement price for any incidents, since their claims cost payout is cash of the purchase price, and not merely a refurbished replacement aircraft, like Care Refresh, where DJI's manufacturing cost is 20% of the sales price of new.

Finally picked up my Mavic 4 Pro from my son in Denver. The Global model is different in the B&H supplied version in a few details. Yes it does RID and FCC power level. What is cool, it came with 8 pairs of propellers, or two complete sets, guess they think you mess up propellers more on a global basis. The box only indicates 4 pair, go figure.I also now have power cords from every corner of the globe, 8 in total. I now have figure 8 cords for everyplace, except South Africa and India. Both of them are different and suitably different from the ROW and the South African one I actually need. It came with the usual other creator combo stuff, 3 batteries, charger, high power USB cord. So with the tax savings by shipping to Oregon, the package worked out to $1,100 cheaper than B&H and came right away, 2 days.

My burning question is; Has anybody found a good and reasonable source for batteries. I find I need something closer to 4, I can live with 3, but 4 works out better for me. I did try ordering one from Amazon almost two weeks ago, (only $50 over retail) but still not out of the gate yet. The ones on eBay seem to be $150-200 over retail, unless you get one from Japan, which will come out to a mystery total (Tariffs).

Mavic 4 Pro batteries

Aug 25, 2025

Got an OEM battery from eBay seller in Japan; had to pay a little more ($225 reg. $195 not incl tax) for it but got it in 5 days. No extra fees or tariffs; no issues in customs. Beat any possible changes to De Minimus.

There's always a risk when you get your M4P fly more combo that you get one or more dead batteries with no immediate help from DJI. With no DJI drones coming into the US probably doesn't affect accessories as much but probably so with batteries. I felt I needed 1 or 2 extra batteries just in case the situation gets worse after all you cannot fly a drone without a good...

That seller seems to have no items available at this time, or I am too retarded to find him. We shall see if Amazon comes through, someday.

I need one more battery and my eBay watchlist has 2 items:

As soon as I am convinced there are no tariffs from such items coming from Japan, I may make an offer with this one:

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery from Japan

If not, I may choose this one from China which says no tariffs are applicable:

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery | Ship Via FedEx/DHL

 

[Dogpilot]

Not betting on the tariffs to end anytime soon. China has just posted record exports to the ROW with a 1.2 trillion trade surplus, so they are unlikely to bargain, why should they. Deck kind of stacked their way. This will be used in classrooms for decades as the "live and die by a bad decision," poster child example. They warned us about this tendency during LMT (Leadership, Management, Training) training seminars even back when I was a Naval Officer. Just have to sit back and watch the show unfold.

My other option is just pick one up overseas on my next trip, which is now pushed to April next year since there is a very noticeable downtick on consulting. Not complaining, I hate to travel anymore, just plain sick of it. I hate to ask my buds to smuggle one for me.

BTW, since somebody mentioned insurance. It went 'Bing' in my brain. I keep forgetting to check with my insurance, USAA, about that. I recalled they had a new coverage category, of Technology Coverage, which includes drones, computers, laser death rays and so on. To add $5,000 coverage to my Homeowners policy specifically to cover the drone, including crashes, dunking in the water like a doughnut in coffee, squashing it with my car or just general drone mayhem cost me an extra $63 annually. So if any of you ex-military officers have them, you may want to check.
