I just bought a Matrice 30 for 5,200 dollars. It included everything, 2 batteries, RC Pro Plus, Battery Charging Case, and the M30 w it's camera payload.
It was originally 6,500 dollars, but I got lucky and received an offer from the seller for 5,200. In 2022 the M30 was selling for 10,000 dollars while the m30T was selling for 14,000.
So why the price drop? I think it has to do with the federal governments ban on DJI drones being used by government agencies. That's my guess anyway. If anyone has other explanations, please post your input.
Because of the loss of federal and some state and local government sales, I think distributors ended up sitting on more stock than they could sell. Especially affected are the federal branches of government. Many Local Law State Law Enforcement Agencies still buy them, but probably not as many as they would have before the ban.
Anyway, if you want to buy one with all the standard accessories. make offers to the companies selling them. Stay below 6.000 for an m30 and 9,000 for an m30T.
Just a side note: This drone is not for the faint of heart. It's loud, bulky and pretty heavy when the 2 batteries are installed.
I have to say this though, it is an incredibly stable drone in flight. It doesn't drift. It's nimble and fast. When looking through the camera, sometimes I think the video feed got stuck, because there is absolutely no movement in the screen image. It's rock solid/steady, except when zoomed in several times.
