I went in to Best Buy in Brandon to buy the mini3 fly more and they said they were sold out and couldn't even order them, they were also sold out online. Now they extend the sale and have stock!?!? Not so sure I want to deal with Best Buy, getting tired of their games.
Looked at other Canadian sites and the prices are very similar:
drdrone.ca/pages/dji-mini-3-pro
droneshopcanada.ca/collections/dji-mini-3-pro
Phoned them up and they say the prices are very controlled by DJI. Also these other guys said the Pro is quite a bit more advanced than the 3 in the processor and optics, which is a different story than I got at Best Buy, but now thinking it may be worth the difference.
I am also thinking if I get the one from Calgary I would save PST.
Haven't got one yet, but I am watching.

Got a mini3 Pro last week, only flew once so far, it is on sale today for $999 at Best Buy.
This thing is a flying computer, it is very easy to fly and it has enough smarts that it should be hard to damage it or crash.
It has a very good camera as well.
Just in case any of you are still thinking about one.

Thanks for the review. How far from an airport can you fly those drones. Can’t remember if any one commented on that problem .
My friend has a drone and when flying it within three miles of our local air strip it lost communication . Drone was only half a mile from us standing on the ground. I don’t know how that technology picks up drones !

Even better sale now at $949.

I just disregard message by x-ing out and then can fly normally.
