Hello All, first post here. Have been flying for a few years. Had a mini 2 since 2020 that has been great. Put it up 3 weeks ago, all good than "lost comm with controller" out of the blue. Long story, but crashed on way home. Bought a M4P 2 weeks ago. Everything is great. But....I have a M5P in my amazon cart ready to go now that they are available. Thinking of getting it as a back up especially since we don't know about the upcoming potential ban and especially since we can't get "refresh" in the US currently. Thoughts?

I had the same thoughts. Knowing a possible ban or at least having a hard time getting DJI in the USA I went ahead and got both. Here is my drone case with the Mini 4 Pro in the top right and the Mini 5 Pro in lower left sides of the case.

Well, I paused and the deal is now gone! I literally was ready to pull the trigger 2 hours ago and all was good. Just went to finish the buy and it was deleted from my cart due to "some problem". Was $759 with the rc2. Snooze/loose....

Got mine on eBay for almost twice that price. Came from Korea in 5 days to Hawaii though so I was Happy!

You had a Mini 5 Pro with RC2 in your cart for $759 and you didn't buy it? C'mon. 😂
