Today I noticed that almost all DJI drones, except for the minis, are showing “notify me” instead of “buy now.” I can’t buy an Avata 2 and most DJI drones don’t seem to ship to the US anymore. Has anyone else seen this?
I just checked and the Avata 2 is still available to buy and ship to the US. I think it’s just low stock right now. The Mavic 3 Pro is available too. They’re estimating delivery for June 5th here in Arkansas.

Try switching the country at the top of DJI’s store website and check some popular models — it’s weird. Canada has stock but the US doesn’t.

They probably have separate warehouses for the US and Canada. The Canadian warehouse has stock, but the US one doesn’t. That’s how some other companies I buy from work too.
@Allegra
That’s true, but there’s also some weird stuff going on, like not releasing the Mavic 4 in the US because of politics.
@Zacky
Yeah, low stock is hitting a few things I buy directly from China. My robot lawn mower, which is near DJI, has been out of stock most of the year and parts are hard to find. Other stuff from China is out of stock too, with no clear restock date.
@Zacky
Same here. Here’s a link showing the Avata 2 is still listed: Buy DJI Avata 2 - DJI Store
Also, the US store has a limit of 1 item per customer.

Seriously? Guess I’ll have to hold off on getting more for now
It’s the mess our government made. As a pro photographer, I had to use the grey market to get the Mavic 4. Looks like it’ll stay like that for a while. Maybe when things calm down in DC it’ll improve, but I’m not holding my breath.
@Harlyn
This problem is on both sides of politics.
@Harlyn
I think the hate for DJI actually started with Skydio first.
@Harlyn
The last administration kicked off the DJI hate, so I don’t expect much change with the new one.

Pretty sure it was actually started by a Republican congresswoman from Long Island named Stefanik in the last Congress, not the Biden admin.
@Harlyn
And she’s a total moron!
Try checking Ebay.

I already have a Mavic 3 and 3S. Just surprised by the change on DJI’s site. But thanks for the tip!
I saw my local Microcenter had the last Neo and battery combo, so I grabbed it. Felt bad for whoever missed out. I also got the last Avata 2 Fly More combo there yesterday after checking nearby stores. It’s crazy how Amazon prices it at nearly $1800, more than half over the original price. I paid about $1280. Now I have extra goggles 3 and a motion 3 controller I probably won’t use since I have controller 3, which isn’t that great.
@Bevin
Did the same, drove an hour to get the last one within a 70-mile radius.
Nice find! Always feels good to get the last one.
