Thinking about grabbing a brand new sealed Mini Pro 4 with the Fly More Plus package for $880. I’m totally new to drones, this would be my first one. I don’t want a cheap $50 toy, but also don’t wanna overspend if I’m just gonna wreck it. Would this be a good way to start or should I look for something cheaper first?
Does it come with the RC2 controller? If so, that’s actually a solid price if you’re sure what’s included. The non-plus version has been on sale for less here and there, but $880 is still better than what you’ll find right now.
Honestly kinda funny to call that a bad deal. The retail price is $1159, so you’re looking at a $280 discount—yeah, that’s solid. Sounds like someone probably bought it on Woot for around $750 and is trying to flip it for a quick $100.
Just keep in mind: the Fly More Plus bundle includes the bigger batteries, which push it over 249g. That means you’ll need to register it. The lighter batteries are about $65 each.
Definitely consider DJI Care too if you’re worried about crashes.

Didn’t mean for it to sound like a dumb question. I guess what I really meant was—is it smart to drop nearly $900 when it’s my first drone?
I do plan on getting DJI Care for the peace of mind though. Appreciate the help!

Totally fair. The Mini 4 Pro is super popular for a reason—it’s a great combo of price, size, and features. That $880 isn’t just for the drone either, most of the extra stuff stays on the ground. The drone itself goes for around $760 alone, so you’re not overdoing it at all.
@Niko
If you’re hoping to find a solid drone for way less than $900, maybe check out the DJI Mini 4K. Those used to go for around $300 before the tariffs hit.
I learned on the original Mini 2 (Mini 4K replaced it) and it was awesome for getting started. Taught me a lot.
Sure, the Mini 4 Pro has way more bells and whistles—but if you’ve got the budget and don’t crash, you’ll enjoy it for a long time.
Solid drone at a good price. Definitely grab DJI Care. Every drone crashes at some point, but the more you fly, the better you get. Hope you have a blast!
