Not the best drone now specially with mini3 raising the standards.
But very good price for entry level/ first drone
Can flip it on marketplace with almost same price if you didn't like it.
Anyhow, it is still a good one! takes good pictures, fun to fly, just take care when its windy.
why? DJI refurbished is usually very high quality repairs, or could have originally been a minor issue like damaged box. I got an ozmo mobile gimball for 1/3 the retail price from amazon DJI refurbished and it was legit brand new with just a new box.
Preordering in general is a crock, but creating a preorder for a refurb item? That's complete nonsense.
just means they lack stock currently 🤷‍♂️. would trust kogan to actually ship you something
@Leho: Except Kogan preorders are notoriously dodgy, so yeah, no. Neg me all you want, but a preorder of a preowned item is bullshit and Kogan knows it.
I don't really get your thinking here. Preordering a video game that has unlimited stock is pointless. Pre-ordering what is obviously a very limited stock of refurbs makes total sense to me.
As Leho said, there is a myriad of reasons that an item could be deemed refurbed and plenty of them would not class the item as "second hand".
or Ruslan is out in his backyard turning on dodgy Kogan wifi extenders and waiting for drones to fall out of the sky so he can resell :)
(and Dick Smith is standing behind him yelling at clouds :) )
I might trust DJI, not sure I trust Kogan.
If I’ve learnt anything from Ozbargain it’s to never trust Kogan with pre-orders…. or just Kogan in general.

Apart from the preorder, is the DJI Mavic Mini itself any good for photos/videos? Can it be controlled like an FPV?
I tried to get into FPV in the past with 15 hours on Liftoff and DRL using a Radiomaster tx16s, but in the end sold the controller as custom drone components are too expensive :(
I bet you can't buy the DJI warranty thing for 2 years insurance either can you?
Not sure, but I wouldn't do that at this price anyhow.
Definitly Worth it for mini3
Actually good point.
You know what I can't find, is the Fly More Combo Kit (no drone inclded) anywhere.
Still waiting for that sick deal at a reasonable price. Surprised it's taking this long.

Yeah I'm not preordering a second hand item.
