Anyone think the fly more will be delayed more than what they say? I worry that they won't be able to meet battery demand. Thinking of just getting the standard version and using a portable battery charger to charge on the fly and get some more batteries in the future. Don't really have much of a need for the case or the prop guards.

depends how much you wish to fly and if you plan on charging directly out of the drone over USB a lot.   honestly, i think $499 in the US for the fly more is a rip off for this drone.  

Well I really don't think I need an extra hour of flying time. A half hour is pretty good and I don't usually fly more than that at a time. Just looking at the price of $45 for the batteries makes it seem like a deal. For the price of one battery though I can get a portable battery that will charge the drone almost 10 times.

Does seem a bit much for a entry level drone.

Cancelling and re ordering might delay your order at this point.

The fly more is a good deal if you ask me.
Only  €100,- extra while the charger + 2 batteries are already costing more.

Plus if you cancel now, you will receive it even later (first come, first get)

Up to you, for me I will get the FMC

BTW welcome to the forum robat19!

I think i will keep my Combo order in the queue. The extra batteries and charger are value added, to me. Currently, I carry 6 batteries with my MA and always enjoy the extra flight time. Add this combo and my nephew and I can enjoy plenty of flight time.

I would not be cancelling the fly more combo. If you get a battery error on your only battery your gonna be screwed. When I got my Mavic I used one battery 6 times and got an error. Also you will now lose your place in the Q...

Historically the fly more combos have suffered serious delays because DJI can never seem to make enough batteries, with that said, it may be different this time.. I ordered just the mini because I’ve been boned in the past too many times...

Yeah true i hear ya. A lot of people have. Just buy 2 lol the mini batteries are out of stock right now to.

I understand you want to charge that single battery from a portable charger, but how long would  it take to charge it if you decide to fly more than 20+ minutes?  Just bite the bullet and get the combo.  You will immediately have access to 2 extra charged batteries.  DJI will charge you more for shipping down the road for single items.  The combo is a great deal.  

consider this: i always traditional either got flymore combo myself or built out a fly more as i needed, and is $100 more really a big savings vs building out your own?   for my mavic 2 the savings i decided just not there for me here in the US at the very least.  also people have different lifestyles, maybe some people dont need to fly more than a couple times a day they just wanna use it while traveling between locations and 30 min battery is enough between top ups.  maybe they get a half hour break at work they wanna goof around on a drone..in that case maybe base kit + desktop charger is a better fit.  

I will go for the FMC, extra batteries would be great and the charging hub can be used as a power bank too
