Should I Buy A Back UP

[CapePilotUSA]

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.

How about propellers guys? Any hope?

I passed on the M5P deal that was going around because I just bought a backup M4P a couple months ago.
If I get up near Canada soon, I'll be picking up a M5P.

Do you have a screenshot showing it actually included the RC 2, and not the RC-N3 at that price, like in the OP's first post?

Go for it! I love the Mini 5pro. Terrific sensor upgrade!

Why not just buy a Drone from a manufacturer that still does business in the U.S. where you can still get parts for it? That way instead of hauling around a bunch of Drones, You can carry one and a small tackle box of parts if you need them.
