I got just the drone, no fly more combo. That's because my retailer doesn't sell the Fly More combo, and I got a great discount on the drone itself.
Although most people tell you it's worth it, let's see what you get for it.
It's about €300,- more than just the drone(not sure in £ or $). What do you get for that money?
2x extra battery (€99,- each), €198,-
2x extra propellors (€9,- each), €18,-
Battery Charging hub, €45,-
Car charger, €55,-
Battery to power bank adaptor, €21,-
Shoulder bag, €89,-
Total worth: €426,-, so you save €126,- if you have a need for all the items. But would you buy them separately? In other words, is it really worth it?
Let's have a close look at all the items. What do they do, and how likely is it you want to have it.
2x extra battery
increases flight time in the field
you'd most likely want to get this
2x extra props
nice in case you break some
you'd probably also want this at some point
Battery Charging hub
the good: it charges up to 4 batteries. The bad: they won't charge simultaneously, but one after the other. It will however save you on time for disconnecting one battery and then connecting the next one.
Do you need it? Not really, but it can be useful
Car charger
Charges a battery while you drive.
Are you out for a long time, without a power socket nearby? In that case you may want this.
Battery to power bank adaptor
It turns a Mavic battery into a power bank for a smartphone, or the controller. Reducing flight time out in the field, but more power for making phone calls, or DJI GO.
Needed? Only if you really need a power bank on the go, can live with some reduced flight time, and don't already own a power bank.
Shoulder bag
Transports the Mavic, controller, and a few extra's.
Useful if this will be the bag you're gonna use.
So now it's up to you to decide what you need, and make the calculations.
Personally, I have no use for the Battery to power bank adaptor (I already own a power bank for my phone), car charger (I'm probably going out into the field using my bicycle, or in most cases there will be electricity available, plus I did buy extra batteries for a reason), and bag (I already have a DSLR bag which is a perfect fit). And I could live without the charging hub. In my case that's €165,- tot €210,- worth of stuff in the Fly More combo that I don't need. So buying the things I do need separately would in my case be the better option. |
