HERE IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED AT AMAZON THAT ALLOWS THIS - amazon has a program called "fulfilled by amazon" ((I am one) in which small merchants can supply amazon with inventory. What happens is that this inventory is not usually inspected and gets mixed up in genuine Amazon inventory. Unethical...

I was in corporate marketing for years and it makes sense from that viewpoint. DJI isn't discontinuing the "line" just the entry level P4 I understand, which is at the same price point as a Mavic Pro. Mavic Pro is way cheaper to produce and WAY cheaper to ship and stock for both DJI and...

Thanks for the heads up on this - I notified a few friends who really want P3s. Some great points here - and as far as the "middle" of the market - let's not forget they named it Mavic Pro - so a Mavic Standard will most likely appear soon now that the supply chain has opened up. Making the...

LOL you and I posted the same info on Amazon at the same time - great minds think alike LOL

I have had no problems with refurbished equipment but here is how to protect yourself from DJI's customer support if you get a bad one. DJI sells there refurbs on Amazon - and they are usually a bit lower prices then DJI's site. Type in "DJI Refurbished" to find them - Amazon hides them in...

My LG G3 is my dedicated phone for my DJI and I have had not one problem... my "phone" I carry is an LG G4....
