Next up in our “Ask Drone Girl” series is a question about where to buy drones from a brick and mortar store, specifically in Mississippi (but my answer applies to many states!). If you have a question for Drone Girl, contact her here. Note, the following question has been edited for clarity and brevity.
Hello, my name is Justin, and I’m from the great state of Mississippi. I need help finding a good, reliable place to buy a Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo set.
I‘m buying it to take photos and videos both for work, which consists of making ads for the car dealership where I work. I’ll also use it for fun.
I would LOVE to buy the Mini 4 Pro at an actual brick-and-mortar store so I can return it easily if I have problems or get to know someone who works there who can help if I need it. I’m not completely against ordering online, as long as it is from a well-known and reputable seller.

Hey Justin!
I’d be honored to help you find the perfect place to buy a DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo. Since you’d prefer a brick-and-mortar store, your best bet in Mississippi is Best Buy:
Best Buy
- Why it’s a solid option: Most Best Buy stores stock the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo, and they often carry drone accessories, too. Returns are easy, and they have a neat feature where you can place your order online and then do same-day pickup in store. You might also know them for their Geek Squad, which promises to provide technical support and protection plans (assuming you don’t want something like DJI’s own Care Refresh plan.
- Find your local store: There are eight Best Buy stores in Mississippi. Hopefully there’s one near you.
Online but reliable sellers
If you’re open to ordering online from reputable retailers (which I know you mentioned), these are 100% trustworthy:
DJI’s Official Store
Benefits of shopping through DJI’s official store include that they often have promos. Some of those promos entail free gifts or store credits.
And now is a good time to buy from DJI. The company just restocked the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Along with the restock news, DJI hinted that price hikes are coming to account for tariffs, so now might be the best time to buy. You’re also buying directly from the source.
The drawback? Some readers have been saying that they have been having issues getting their drones delivered because they’re stuck at U.S. customs. Given that, it might be better to shop from a U.S.-based retailer like Amazon, Drone Nerds or B&H Photo.
Amazon
Shopping for the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo on Amazon is incredibly convenient — and can even help you save a little money. If you have an Amazon Prime Visa Card, you can earn 5% back on your purchase, which adds up on a big-ticket item like a drone.
Another huge perk? Amazon’s return process is super smooth. If anything’s wrong with your drone or you simply change your mind, you can often print a return label instantly and drop it off at a nearby UPS or Amazon hub — no questions asked.
That said, you need to make sure you’re buying from a trusted seller. Look for listings that say “Ships from and Sold by Amazon” or “Sold by DJI Official Store.” Avoid sketchy third-party sellers.
Order the DJI Mini 4 drone from Amazon now.
B&H Photo Video
B&H Photo is a dream destination for any gearhead. If you ever find yourself in New York City, it’s worth planning a pit stop to wander through the aisles of their flagship Manhattan store — one of my favorite detours in the Big Apple.
Even if you’re not local, their online experience is just as reliable. B&H has a stellar reputation for customer service, fast shipping and a deep selection of drone accessories. Their staff actually knows what they’re talking about, too — so if you have questions, you can get real answers from real pros.
They also frequently run promos, and their checkout system is super clear when it comes to taxes and shipping timelines.
Order the DJI Mini 4 drone from B&H Photo now.
Drone Nerds
If you want a more boutique experience with real, personalized support, then Drone Nerds is your spot. Their customer service is phenomenal — and they’re one of the most knowledgeable DJI-authorized retailers out there.
One thing that really sets them apart? The Drone Nerds in-house drone repair team is arguably the best in the business. So if anything ever happens to your drone, you can rest easy knowing they’ve got your back.

Where I’d buy (if I were you)
If you want a local brick and mortar store, I’d start by calling your local Best Buy to see if they have the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo in stock. That way you can walk out with it today and have someone to talk to face-to-face if anything comes up.
If you’re buying online, my top pick is Drone Nerds for the unmatched support, especially since you’re serious about using this drone for both business and fun. That repair team is a lifesaver if anything ever goes wrong.
If speed and savings are your thing, Amazon is excellent — just be picky about the seller. And if you want gear shopping to feel like a kid-in-a-candy-store experience, B&H is your place, especially if you might pick up other photo gear down the line. If you make it to New York, the B&H brick and mortar store is amazing.
Is the DJI Mini 4 Pro the best at its price?
Short answer: YES. Especially for your combo of work and play.
- It’s lightweight (<249g so no registration required for most use).
- Shoots 4K video, has 360° obstacle avoidance, and excellent ActiveTrack.
- Incredible range and stability, perfect for dealership shots and creative fun.
- The Fly More Combo gives you real value with extra batteries, a better case, and the upgraded RC 2 controller.
It’s one of my favorite travel drones next to the DJI Air 3S, and it’s also one of the best drones for photographers overall.
If you were doing heavy lifting, like towing cinema cameras, I’d say look bigger. But for ads, aerials, hobby content, and even client work? The Mini 4 Pro is exactly the sweet spot.
Happy flying!
