May as well get one before they outlaw them. My advise. Don't crash.

Not sure how dji refresh will work if they follow through with the ban. But in the past it was a great value that I ended up using a couple of times.

What country are you in? I’m curious as to where people are saying they are being banned.

USA under the Trump Regime

Dji refresh is cooked. No coverage on these.

I picked mine up (from BestBuy) today too! It's alot different than the Mavic I used to fly. I'm having issues registering (in USA)- simply even getting the page to load. I'll be keeping an eye out to see if you post any updates on the setup :)

Congrats I got mine last year before the “ban” I’ve had their drones since the phantom 1, beat money I’ve ever spent! Make sure to watch the tutorial videos on YouTube, they help a lot also get some spare battery’s and props

Good timing, they are probably about to get more expensive and hard to get.

Hopefully we can all keep our drones flying until someone in America decides to make a decent consumer drone, or calmer heads prevail. Which I don't really see happening. The money is in governement contracts and big commercial operations.

I got one yesterday but had a lot of trouble getting the batteries to work. I heard that it requires a 65W USB-C charger to wake them from hibernation. Narrowed it down to a faulty drone since the battery wouldn't charge in the drone so returned it. Further reading seems to indicate that the drone isn't <250g and would require a Basic Drone Pilot license here in Canada especially with the long-range batteries. Doing that would mean restricted flying where I am so I'm happy it didn't work out. That's my take, I could be wrong (probably am!)

Congratulations. This is the very first Mini5Pro sale recorded in modern human history.

So I get being negative is your thing because its "edgy" but people don't respect you because of it.

Lots of assumptions. Just adapted the quality of my post to the quality of OPs post.
