I think the displayed price might be a 'little joke'...

Those Asian winter nights must just fly by... :-)

Some sites do that as a sort of "@placeholder@". You see it on eBay a lot, and it makes about wonder if anyone actually buys at that price. After all, a thousand bucks is pocket change for the 1%....

If you scroll down, it looks like product will launch in April. I wouldn't say that the price will start with a $3xx is good news though. It better be $309.

Lots of information there. A standard battery over 250g or a pro battery under 250g? What are these guys trying to do I bet they try to package it with the heavy battery and then try to get more money from you to buy the lighter battery.

No Fly zone's and 100m of HD transmission are some of the features listed. So far, I doubt I will be preordering one. I see none of the current mini packages on aliexpress include a 'pro' battery. On first glance, this thing is turning into a turd. It does look like it has way points though.

yeeessss , that's a good new . a 250 g class ( without no fly zone forced like dji ) , that a very very very good new which make my day .

$399-$20=$379 + the price of the PRO battery

about battery most of us , will get more than one battery , so i dont see where is the problem cause we could get those battery later .

258 g in first time instead 250 g is not a big problem .

I wouldn't even want a battery that brings the drone to 258g although I wouldn't mind 2 pro batteries. If there is NFZs I doubt there is a price that would make me choose this over a dji mini2.

same for me . The NFZ is the red line .

No NFZ forced = take my money and shut up

NFZ forced like dji = no thank

4k@30fps???

Dawwww...

I hoped for 60fps on this bird : (

I'm now back to waiting for FIMI to announce a pro version.

Maybe the NFZ stuff is just for China but if mini + pro battery price starts with a $4xx then this is a no go. 258g might as well be 700g. I hope this is a typo.

With the new EASA (EU countrys) regulation it makes a lot of diffence !! If is under 250gr you can use it also in town, I think this is the eason why DJI made a 249gr drone, strange they release the MINI bfore the new EASA regulation was released...

Not bad, when connected to mobile via WiFi.
That is without using the controller.

you are right . But in most case , in France town are in red , you can only fly in your garden . If you want to fly in town ( outside home ) in France you have to be a pro with all authorization required . So , in practise , the main advantage is outside town .

Thanks for pointing that out.

The heavier battery looks like a regular 2s 2x 18650 battery back like the dji. I wonder what the rectangle Pro battery is made from, unobtanium maybe?
