Ok, you have decided to buy the DJI Mini 2 and now the question is which package to buy? the standard or the combo?
So first lets see what are the differances between the packages – the standard and the combo:
Combo | Standard | |
---|---|---|
Intelligent Flight Battery | 3 | 1 |
DJI Mini 2 Propellers (Pair) | 3 | 1 |
Spare Screw | 18 | 6 |
Shoulder Bag | 1 | Not included |
Two-Way Charging Hub | 1 | Not included |
DJI 18W USB Charger | 1 | Not included |
Propeller Holder | 1 | Not included |
- DJI Mini 2 battary = $45
- Two-way charging hub cost = $39
- DJI 18W USB Charger = $15
- Shoulder Bag = price currently not available in DJI store but good shoulder bag should cost ~$100
Let’s break down the costs
(the numbers are up to date to Dev 2020):
So 2 more batteries + charging hub + charger = $144
The combo cost $150 more than the standad. so acctually when you are buying the combo you are getting the shoulder bag for free + USB Charger + more spare propellors + propeller holder.
Buying drone with more than one battery is the best tip you can get. if you will search all drones related web sites you will see that this tip is In all of them.
Bag for the drone is also a must. this + the propeller holder will extand the drone life and will protect it from damage when traveling.
On bottom line the combo provide you things that you need and in most cases if you will buy the standard package you will find yourself buying the components existing in the combo package during the time. the combo package provide good value for the money.
One more thing to consider – none of the packages (the combo and standard) not coming with sd card. I don’t understand why DJI didn’t add sd card at least to the combo package. Anyway, it’s recommended to add sd card when buying any of the DJI mini 2 packages.
