This is a helpful video, thanks. I had decided to purchase the Fly More Combo because this is my 3rd drone and obviously I really love to fly, in addition, the prospect of purchasing extra or replacement batteries in the near future would have retroactively justified the extra cost savings of the Combo. I had no idea what the "Refresh Plan" was about - thank you for explaining it.
Buy the fly more combo on their eBay official refurbished store, at the price of the Basic Kit, 2 year warranty, free shipping. I just got a fly more combo for $449.
I bought the fly more combo and I believe it’s worth it. I fly this thing everyday and I’m pretty new to drones. I’ve owned cheap ghetto drones that ive crashed and lost
The batteries alone would make me chose the fly more combo. If Im already spending over $450 on a DRONE..... might as well spend the little extra to get the extra batteries and propellers. Good review, especially since you added the warranty/insurance plans. 👍
This is the best in-depth video i have seen regarding comparison of the basic vs the fly more combo. Also that additional info about the $49 /$79 DJI care was very helpful. Thank you!
Man, me and you are very similar when it comes to these kinds of purchases. We sit there and analyze and analyze... and then crunch numbers. I would probably not got for the fly more option but consider 1 extra battery. I feel like you can get a lot of footage in about an hour. I love the video quality of drones but don't have a ton of desire to record with one. Then you have to know about the laws associated with them. Another solid edition of GEAR!!!!
This is a very useful video dude! I love the amount of detail you put in your unboxing and comparison videos. Really helpful for anyone looking to buying this and not knowing the difference and wondering if it's worth the extra cash. Awesome job.
in Chile the fly more is around 1000 usd and the basic I got a good deal for 550 usd reg price was 700 . Got a extra battery for 70 and a generic bag from AliExpress for 12 bucks
I dont really need either one of them but i just want the better of them. I can pay 6 months no interest but i just dont know what id do with them beside flying around as i dont make videos. Therefor when my wife asks me why do i need to spend that much i wont have a good enough response. Any ideas you can throw at me is appreciated😆
drones always love them my brother has a one with crazy distance he literally puts in our poscode and annoys me at my window lol, thi one is 100% made for me as with his one is to high tech for me
Thanks for this video. You are right. Those extra batteries alone will cost $150. Extra propellers, screws, bags, cords and etc are not included. I think fly more combo is worth it. I’m just planning to fly for recreation. I think fly more combo gives you more options unlike just getting the basic. I’ll just take the 1 yr insurance for the drone.
Man I really want to get this drone but with the taxes and insurance plan, $700 is way too expensive for me. If I do buy it, I would get the Basic Kit and just pick up an extra battery if I need it. Might even be a hero and go sans Insurance Plan... don't take my advice folks! I'm just cheap...
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment oh, okayy thank you.🙏🏽 Your video answered my questions about the difference between those two boxes. Now, I guess I have to go for the basic kit for now since this it the first time I would buy a drone.
Hehe where I live I got no tax. I think I would get the basic kit and then buy the propeller holder and I think thats good! But maybe get another battery if I used it more.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Oh mann!, I really really really like your reviewed very deep in details. I just new for DJI mini2. Hope you talk more about this little gems....such as setting up, tips and tricks. Thank you in advance. ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment basically the mini falls into the new category under 250g non-toy drones C0(open category A1) which means can be flown in congested areas and over uninvolved people(not crowds) without need of any certificate. Mavic pros can be flown in congested areas, but not over people and not less than 50m (horizontal distance) and only if you have have passed the A2 CORFC certificate(£100-£249 cost of the course). Also all drones above 250g that are currently available, as legacy drones, will all move into A3 category in 2023, meaning they can't be flown less than 150 m of any congested area or people(parks, leisure areas etc) www.heliguy.com/blogs/posts/uk-drone-laws-where-can-i-fly
The Mini 2 is a cool gift for Christmas. Very useful for outstanding filmography, also best value accessories kit here mate! Nice review as always I enjoy your product suggestions.
As someone who has flown many drones before (none are that fancy) I will say that having more than 1 battery is almost a need. This way you can charge one while using another. Also, extra propellers are more useful than most people think because sometimes you will chop some grass or hit a stick during takeoff/landing and harm a propeller
Ah, the ever present tax man sticking his tax stuff on everything but I was thinking of adding a drone to one of my other channels and this does look like a good investment
Remember folks,when the battery runs out you have to bring the drone back to you and change them out.Its not like the drone holds the extra batteries for a 90min continuous flight.
Charging hub and extra batteries your going to need them to fly would get the combo the refresh plan is important too and yea it adds up but in the long run it seems to be worth it 👍🏼
I've been meaning to get into drones for aerial footage. Thought about going the cheap route with the no name off the shelf to try it out but a established brand might be the only way to go. What's the footage like at 30 fps 4k?
That's exactly what I went thought at the cash register at best buy. Having never flown a drone before. Now I thought I got the care refresh but the price was 194.00 for 2 years. So now I dont know if I got the plan through best buy or what I have
Depends on the product. I couldn’t find anything specifically about the Mini 2. But basing it off the replacement of a Mavic, I’d guess around $50 to replace the drone the first time. Then $100 for a second one.
You could do commercial drone work with it, but I think you have to register the drone with the FAA and also get a license... I could be wrong though and welcome being corrected if this is untrue.
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment sincire I thinking about making yt videos by startin new yt channel and also to record my travells so not so much shure about all of that to happen but still interested in this i would like to say machine rather than just a drone. I can work couple monts harder in a year and by air or some of pro but am bigginer and that's a price for a registered car whole year... But have four wheels ☺
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment and my kid also provide a pressure on me to buy it! And my wife says it's nice peace of tech and how much money? And am like 😶mmmmn
Do you get much use out of it and how long can you fly them for? I'd be worried about crashing inbetween buildings or pissing off the fly boys with this one :P I wonder if there's a competitor which would offer the same type, or even accessories that would fit this like how GoExtreme are to GoPros.

Glad it could help! What other 2 drones do you have?
Buy the fly more combo on their eBay official refurbished store, at the price of the Basic Kit, 2 year warranty, free shipping. I just got a fly more combo for $449.
That's an insanely good deal! Wish I would have waited!
I’d go for the Basic Kit if anything, especially since I’ve only ever casually thought about filming let alone with an actual drone
Wise choice for your needs!
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment The basic kit is more affordable
The fly more combo sure does sound like its worth it if you are into drones.
I bought the fly more combo and I believe it’s worth it. I fly this thing everyday and I’m pretty new to drones. I’ve owned cheap ghetto drones that ive crashed and lost
“cheap ghetto” i’m rolling😭😂😂
This would actually be great for people who are just starting to learn filming. Even i have the urge to buy it 🤔
Such a fun little toy!
The batteries alone would make me chose the fly more combo. If Im already spending over $450 on a DRONE..... might as well spend the little extra to get the extra batteries and propellers.
Good review, especially since you added the warranty/insurance plans. 👍
That’s what i thought
Drone=happiness. You don't need a wife. (I'm married)

I want fly more but my money is just basic
I feel your pain… 😭
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment it’s my chore money, I earn like 100+ money a month but not over 300 dollars a month
I just ordered one basic kit and extra battery with 1 year insurance
Good buy! I have yet to use 2 full batteries when I take it flying.
I was actually looking at these with my kids. Thanks for going over the differences. Gives us some stuff to think about. 👍
I dont really need either one of them but i just want the better of them. I can pay 6 months no interest but i just dont know what id do with them beside flying around as i dont make videos. Therefor when my wife asks me why do i need to spend that much i wont have a good enough response. Any ideas you can throw at me is appreciated😆
I said it once and I will say it again, if you gonna but never go for basic kit unless your budget is crazy tight
I’ve got the fly more kit and it was worth the money it also my very first drone I’ve own
drones always love them my brother has a one with crazy distance he literally puts in our poscode and annoys me at my window lol, thi one is 100% made for me as with his one is to high tech for me
Thank you you've helped me decide.
Glad I could help!
I have been wanting to get a drone for summer hikes - thaks for sharing!
The Costco kit comes with a spare battery and carrying case it says, Not sure about the charging hub
I think paying 599 plus tax is ok but I do think it is a better idea to get a cheaper drone.
This is probably the cheapest that actually shoots usable video in my opinion. But I do understand that price tag can be a bit much for some.
Thanks for this video. You are right. Those extra batteries alone will cost $150. Extra propellers, screws, bags, cords and etc are not included. I think fly more combo is worth it.

Haha that is one way to save some money, but I don’t recommend it! 😜
So the basic kit does nkt have an 18watt charger?
Correct. Just a charging cable, no brick.
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment oh, okayy thank you.🙏🏽
Your video answered my questions about the difference between those two boxes. Now, I guess I have to go for the basic kit for now since this it the first time I would buy a drone.
Very solid choice! You’re going to love it!
Looks a pretty neat gadget to have! The fly more combo looks like it would be worth all the bucks you spend on it.
Hehe where I live I got no tax. I think I would get the basic kit and then buy the propeller holder and I think thats good! But maybe get another battery if I used it more.
Not a bad move! I’m jealous of the no taxes!!
I have a spark and platinum..to you think that this mini 2 would be considered a upgrade???
Yes, I would consider it a pretty big upgrade!
Great review and information enjoyed it sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the vid!
This looks like a real nice drone and the extra batteries are quite affordable if you ever wanted to upgrade from the basic.
I would take the starter just because i am new to it. I really want a drone though as I've said before. Great review Wesley Snipes!
They not giving 18w charger in standard kit. Then how we charge it??
im saving my money to buy it the normal kit
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Oh mann!, I really really really like your reviewed very deep in details. I just new for DJI mini2. Hope you talk more about this little gems....such as setting up, tips and tricks. Thank you in advance. ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
Got the combo.
Video on point!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it. Fun drone!
i sure want to get drone for myself ..but 799 dollors that s too much ....mini 2 will be good for me !!
is not just a beginners drone, with the new rules now in europe, I have seen lots of people ditching their mavics pro to buy this
What are the rules in Europe?

thx dude for the info 👍
Drones are to damn cool might have to buy this the price ain't even that bad for what you get for it going pro I think
Gracias, buen consejo para gente del 3er mundo , el 2do país con mayor inflación, saludos desde Argentina
Wow this is an interesting gadget. Those of you who buy this I hope you have fun.

I actually laughed hard on that fly more joke 😂
Basic kit comes with no bag? Bruh
😂😭 yeahhh…
Drones are so cool but cause if the price it should be seen more of an investment then for fun
Charging hub and extra batteries your going to need them to fly would get the combo the refresh plan is important too and yea it adds up but in the long run it seems to be worth it 👍🏼
So much helpful information in here! A lot to think about for people currently looking. Choosing equipment can be so hard!
Thanks, good info. You need better lighting in your video.
Omg a mini kit. I actually would want this haha 🤣. This looks pretty cool 👍😎
I want one really bad, I'm hoping Santa brings me one for Christmas
My boy the the plugs! ahaa Hell yeah hope people find this helpful! Keep up the great work!!!
Brock Lesnar would approve the more expensive overpriced one, just sayin. ;)
This drone is well worth the investment especially if you use it for your content
I've been meaning to get into drones for aerial footage. Thought about going the cheap route with the no name off the shelf to try it out but a established brand might be the only way to go. What's the footage like at 30 fps 4k?
Great job! This review gave me a TON to think about as I am shopping around for a drone for short films and cinematography!
That's exactly what I went thought at the cash register at best buy. Having never flown a drone before. Now I thought I got the care refresh but the price was 194.00 for 2 years. So now I dont know if I got the plan through best buy or what I have
You 100% got the best buy geek squad plan.
Loving my mini 2 :)
Yeah man! This is my first drone, and I’m really loving it! Perfect little beginners drone that’s still capable of cinematic footage.
Coverdrone insurance is far far far less faffy, and covers you for public liability.
Haven’t heard of coverdrone. You recommend it then?
I'll make my dad buy the basic kit, i think I can con him into it. thanks Wes ;)
Great comparison. Thanks
Great review, thank you!
I would buy the combo, seemed better
Excellent video
Thanks!
How much is the "small cost to replace" after you pay for the insurance?
Depends on the product. I couldn’t find anything specifically about the Mini 2. But basing it off the replacement of a Mavic, I’d guess around $50 to replace the drone the first time. Then $100 for a second one.
How can I make profit off of this drone? Anyone know lol😅
You could do commercial drone work with it, but I think you have to register the drone with the FAA and also get a license... I could be wrong though and welcome being corrected if this is untrue.

Just bought the fly more combo
Hope you enjoy it! Fun little drone!
Thanks for all the tips
Costco kit
How do we activate dji refresh I bought it but I did not get any instructions or activation code
Hey! Did you buy your DJI refresh with the drone or separately?
I bought it all in same order from dji site
The refresh plan should be automatically bound to your drone if you purchased them together.
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment thank you is there a way I can confirm that with dji I sent mail to support site
You should have gotten an email from DJI that contain your agreement number linking to your drone’s serial number.
Question, In the UK will I get the 3 ping plug?
Yeah, it comes with adapters!
Very good review as always
Am still undicided
What kind of content do you do and how much do you think you’ll fly?

Great review!
if i could afford it id do the basic kit + extra battery + 1 year of the care plan bc 700 bucks is to rich for my blood
Do you get much use out of it and how long can you fly them for? I'd be worried about crashing inbetween buildings or pissing off the fly boys with this one :P I wonder if there's a competitor which would offer the same type, or even accessories that would fit this like how GoExtreme are to GoPros.
Both Kits Are Great But If You Are Beginner The Basic Kit Is Good For Start
if I could afford the upgraded one I would but I am broke daddy lol FEED ME!! jk I'll take the standard, hoping a loved one gets me one for xmas
