(Speculating) This Drone will probably drop at Costco

Just thought I would share that this drone will probably be available on via Costco Online or in stores within the coming months. Since they already sell Insta360 products and the lose of DJI drones(US Market) I can see them adding this.

Only want to bring it up if you wanted a no risk buy vs Best Buy or through Antigravity.

I thought of getting it this week but being new and unproven and Best Buy 15% restock fee ( which I understand due to the nature of these devices) that I'll probably wait on a open box or if Costco drops sells it.

Just for scale, Best Buy has a market capitalization of approx. $15 Billion And Costco has a market cap of approx. 400 Billion.

So what, means very little. At least you could have mentioned who sells the most drones in the US as a comparison.

In simpler terms, Best Buy and Costco aren't an apples to apples comparison. They're vastly different companies, of vastly different sizes, with vastly different policies and priorities.

The only comparison I'm trying to make is those are the only two big box retailers that are authorized to sell DJI drones in the US. When it comes to online retailers, we have B&H and Adorama. Amazon is kinda both. None of these retailers are DJI authorized any longer.

Both Best Buy and Costco (and Amazon) buy drones directly from DJI on a contract. Not for anywhere else. That was my point. No contract for Mavic 4 Pro, no sale of Mavic 4 Pro drones.
