DJI said Mavic 4 Pro wouldn't launch in US but these stores are selling it anyhow
This morning, I wrote how DJI was skipping the US with its most advanced drone yet, citing Trump's tariffs among other reasons for the decision. DJI did not send the drone to US reviewers, and it wouldn't provide US prices when we asked.
Adorama and B&H, two rival camera stores based in New York City, apparently didn't get the message!
Watch on TikTok
Today, they both listed the drone for $2,699 — or $3,549 for the Fly More Kit, or $4,649 for the Creator Combo with the fancy new controller with the folding sticks and swiveling 1600-nit screen, or $1,299 for that controller all by its lonesome. B&H even issued a press release.
B&H is only offering preorders today; I confirmed with Miguel Perez in the store's drone department that 'we don't yet have it in stock,' and he wasn't sure when stock might arrive. 'It's a little bit of a grey area for logistics between the US and China for aircraft,' he admits. But he says B&H isn't taking anyone's money — 'we don't charge until it ships' — and that he's heard other US retailers like Adorama are selling the drone this very week.
Adorama sales rep Steve Chill confirms that over the phone, and offers to put one on hold for me, because he says they're moving fast. 'We had a few hundred in stock, now we're down to 70,' he says. 'They'll be gone tomorrow.'
Over the phone, he says he has the $3,549 Fly More Combo right now if I want, though he's out of the $2,699 base model. (At the time I reached out, Adorama's website was showing the entry model in stock, shipping next week, though it's now just listing a preorder again; however, the new DJI RC Pro 2 controller appears to be in stock too.)
It's not clear what's happening. Did DJI ship some to the US early, but not enough for a full launch, perhaps? DJI spokesperson Daisy Kong doesn't have an answer for me yet.

How to borrow with confidence by untangling and unlearning debt avoidance
Debt avoidance is the habit of refusing to consider or engage with borrowing — even when it may be strategic — due to fear, shame, misinformation or a combination of the three. Avoidance typically is not just a personal preference, it's often a survival strategy passed down through generations. Maybe you saw loved ones overwhelmed by credit card bills, experience bankruptcy or carry shame from their student loan debt. For many first-generation wealth builders, cultural values and early financial trauma make debt feel dangerous, even when it could be a useful tool. But just like any habit, debt avoidance can be unlearned over time. And when you shift from fear to understanding, you can gain the clarity to make debt a strategic part of your wealth-building plan. Step 1: Get curious about your debt story You can't change what you don't understand — and that includes your relationship with debt. Your beliefs about borrowing didn't just appear out of nowhere. They've likely been shaped by your family's values, cultural background, religious teachings and past financial experiences. To start unlearning debt avoidance, explore your own money story with the following questions: What messages did you hear growing up about debt? Do you associate debt with danger, failure or shame? Why? Have you ever avoided a meaningful opportunity like education, therapy or a career move because you didn't want to borrow money? Debt avoidance may have protected you from self-criticism, financial harm or emotional overwhelm. But only you can decide whether it's still serving you today. Step 2: Practice financial neutrality If thinking about debt makes your heart race, freeze or shut down, it's time to shift how you relate to it. Start by practicing financial neutrality — a mindset where debt is just viewed as data, not a moral failure. Pull your credit report from to get a list of your current debt balances and borrowing history. As you review it, notice your thoughts. Instead of thinking 'This is so much debt,' try 'I have $32,553.29 in debt.' Numbers are neutral — treat them as data, not judgment. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Your Path to Homeownership A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes Once you've reviewed your report, expand your financial literacy. Learn what impacts your credit score. Understand the difference between revolving and installment credit. Use online debt calculators to explore the cost of borrowing. Keep in mind: This step helps you pause, reflect and build a better understanding of how borrowing actually works so you can engage with it more strategically. Step 3: Create a weekly money ritual To build self-trust around leveraging debt, consistency is key. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes for a money check-in. Think of this as a date with your future, debt-confident self. During this time, you can: Review your monthly spending and current savings. Revisit your short- and long-term financial goals. Explore how interest rates and loan terms affect repayment plans. Run mock debt scenarios, such as how you would pay off money borrowed to pursue a certificate. Keep in mind: These weekly check-ins help you stay grounded in your numbers and build the confidence to make borrowing decisions from a place of clarity — not fear or overwhelm. Step 4: Borrow intentionally, not avoidantly Whether you've been debt-free for a while or are still carrying balances, the idea of borrowing again can feel daunting. But avoiding debt altogether can limit your financial flexibility and prevent you from building a sustainable debt payoff plan. Instead of automatically defaulting to avoidance, aim to borrow with intention. Before taking on new debt, ask yourself: Will this debt increase my income, joy or long-term security? What's my repayment strategy? How much am I willing to pay in interest over time? Am I making this choice from fear or from alignment with my values and financial goals? Money tip: Strategic debt is proactive. It means thinking through your repayment strategy before you swipe the card or sign the loan. It's not about borrowing recklessly — it's about trusting yourself to plan ahead, evaluate your options and make empowered financial choices. You're not failing if you borrow Debt can be neutral. That might feel strange to read — especially if you've only ever associated debt with danger, stress or failure. But debt is, at the end of the day, a tool. And the more you understand how it works, the less control it holds over your nervous system. Your thoughts about debt will shape how you engage with it. When you begin using interest calculators and thinking through your borrowing decisions in advance, interest becomes what it truly is: a service charge. And like any service, it can be evaluated, minimized and planned. This doesn't mean you have to enjoy being in debt. But you also don't need to fear it. Unlearning debt avoidance doesn't happen overnight. But with time, tools and compassion, you can build the self-trust needed to borrow with intention and build wealth on your terms.
