No DJI drones anywhere???

A friend expressed interest in getting a drone. Mini 3...Neo...Flip type budget. Wants a RC screen controller. Nothing at DJI...nothing at BH...or Adorama... There is a model here or there...but at this point there is -almost- nothing. I knew the Mav 4 was impossible to get (almost) but I had no idea that was true for almost the entire line if DJI drones.

Exactly why I bought the Avata 2 and the NEO ahead of time before I really needed them. Saw them on sale at a good discount so I bought them but still haven't activated. I thought there would come a day when DJI drones were scarce in America and existing supplies would be difficult to replace. I bought the Mini 4 Pro and kept if for year only to find an opportunity to give it away (to my brother) but as mentioned, if I were to decide to do that today....probably would be out of luck.

Not sure why anyone feels the Mini 5 Pro or the Mini 5 Max will show up in America. If that model launches sans America, it will be a wake up call. There's no way for Adorama to do all the heavy lifting.

Not saying I knew this exactly was coming, but I knew something bad was coming. Anytime the government is involved, bad things happen and it's unpredictable.
