So, lets start with my intensions. I was always going to buy the M3 with the RC Pro Controller . . . that was never a question; ($1,199.00 + $2,999.00 = $4,198.00 (remember this price).
Like many of you, I waited for the RC Pro Controller and M3 to be bundled to save a little cash . . . but DJI decided to keep their over-pricing tactics exclusive to us North Americans, the Africans, the non- Chinese Asians, the Australians and the Europeans, basically the earth (only offering the bundle to the nice folks in mainland China). Ok DJI. . . I see you .
So this is what I did (with the tremendous help of zeusfl ):
* Purchased DJI Air2s (3-battery bundle) with the RC Pro Controller:
Amazon: $1,749.00 Brand New (link below)
* Purchased DJI Mavic 3 (2-battery Bundle) with RC-N1 Controller
eBay: $2,349.00 Brand New (link below)
NOTE: You can also buy DJI Mavic 3 (Replacement Drone Only) from dealers here in the U.S. for $1,749.00 (body, camera and gimbal only).
TOTAL COST TO ME: $4,098.00
Both drone links are below so you can see what is all included in both packages. So, now I have two (2) complete Drone bundles for $4,098.00 and if I wanted, I could sell the new Air2S and RC-N1 for $1,000 and save even more. Ok DJI . . . I see you , you're not looking to good though .
By the way . . . that carry bag for the M3 that comes in the bundle (that DJI charges $319 for on their site)? That bag is selling in China for $150 U.S. currency. eBay has them for about the same ($150) brand new. It's pretty obvious why the rest of the world is getting gouged by DJI (base of operations: China).
DO BETTER DJI . . . and fix the M3 satellite acquisition time thingy!
