DJI Fly More Combo Explained
A Fly More Combo is DJI's bundle that adds extra batteries, a charging hub, a carry bag and spare propellers to the drone, usually for much less than buying those parts separately. A Fly More Combo Plus swaps in larger Plus batteries for longer flights, which on Mini drones pushes the weight over 250 g and means a Remote Pilot Licence in Pakistan. This guide explains each bundle, the controller options, and which one to choose.

What a Fly More Combo usually includes
Exact contents change by model, so always check the box list on the product page. A typical DJI Fly More Combo includes:
- the drone with one battery
- two extra Intelligent Flight Batteries (three in total)
- a two-way charging hub that charges batteries one after another
- a shoulder bag or carry case
- extra propellers and sometimes a charger
- on some models, an ND filter set (for example the DJI Air 3 Fly More Combo)
The standard (drone only) package normally has one battery, a remote controller and the basic cables.
Fly More Combo vs Fly More Combo Plus
For the Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro, DJI offers a Fly More Combo Plus. The main difference is the batteries: the Plus combo ships with Intelligent Flight Battery Plus packs. DJI rates the Mini 4 Pro at about 45 minutes with the Plus battery, against about 34 minutes with the standard one.
The catch is weight. With a Plus battery, these Minis weigh more than 249 g. In Pakistan, that moves them from Category I (250 g or less) to Category II under the Civil Unmanned Aircraft Rules 2024, and Category II pilots need a Remote Pilot Licence (Geo News, 16 June 2024). Registration with the PCAA is required in both cases. Read 249g drones explained (249g Drones Explained for Pakistani Buyers) for details.
RC-N2 vs DJI RC 2: which controller?
Bundles also differ by controller:
- RC-N2 (or RC-N1 on older models): you clip your phone into it and use the DJI Fly app on the phone. Lower cost, but your phone's screen brightness, battery and notifications matter.
- DJI RC 2 (or DJI RC on older models): a controller with a built-in bright screen. Faster to start, no phone needed, better in sunlight, and calls do not interrupt your flight.
For outdoor work in bright Pakistani sun, many pilots prefer the screen controller. For a tight budget, the RC-N2 with a good phone works well. Note that not every controller works with every drone, so buy the bundle made for your model.
Why the combo usually makes sense
One battery gives roughly 20 to 35 minutes of real flying on most Minis and Airs, less in heat and wind. That is rarely enough for a wedding, property shoot or travel day. Three batteries let you shoot, swap and keep going. Batteries and the hub bought separately usually cost more than the price difference between the standard and combo versions, though this varies by model and stock.
The charging hub also matters: it charges the batteries in sequence from one wall socket, and DJI hubs can move remaining power between batteries on some models.
When the standard package is enough
The drone-only version can be the right choice if:
- you only fly short hobby sessions
- you already own compatible batteries
- your budget is tight and you plan to add batteries later
- the drone is a short-flight selfie model used for quick clips
For the DJI Neo (DJI Neo), which flies about 18 minutes per battery, a multi-battery combo is especially useful.
Buying batteries later: what to watch for
If you start with the standard package, you can add batteries later, but be careful:
- Buy batteries made for your exact model. Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro batteries look similar to others but are not interchangeable with every model.
- Avoid unbranded copies. Fake or low-quality lithium batteries can fail in flight or swell, and the app may not read their health correctly.
- Check the battery's cycle count and health in the app after purchase.
- Remember that a Plus battery on a Mini changes its weight category.
A Fly More Combo avoids most of these issues because the batteries match the drone and are new.
Extras worth adding to any bundle
- ND filters, to keep a cinematic shutter speed in bright sun (some combos include them)
- a fast microSD card, V30 or better for 4K
- a landing pad for dusty or grassy take-off spots
- a hard case if you travel by road a lot
- spare propellers, since chipped propellers cause vibration
Which combo for which drone
- DJI Mini 2 SE (DJI Mini 2 SE): Fly More Combo is good value for beginners who want longer practice sessions.
- DJI Mini 3 (DJI Mini 3) and Mini 3 Pro (DJI Mini 3 Pro): standard Fly More Combo to stay at 249 g; Plus only if you will get a licence.
- DJI Mini 4 Pro (DJI Mini 4 Pro): same rule. The Fly More Combo with standard batteries keeps you in Category I.
- DJI Air 3 (DJI Air 3): the drone is Category II anyway, so pick the combo for the extra batteries and ND filters.
- Mavic 3 series: Fly More Combos often include a bigger case and extra batteries; very useful for film work.

Battery care for multi-battery kits
- Number your batteries and rotate them so they age evenly.
- Let hot batteries cool before charging, especially in summer.
- For storage, keep batteries around half charge; DJI batteries can discharge themselves to a storage level after some days.
- Do not carry loose batteries in checked airline luggage; follow airline rules for lithium batteries.
- Retire batteries that swell or show poor health in the app.

Bundles and the rules
Whatever bundle you buy, the drone must be registered with the PCAA within 15 days of purchase (How to Register a Drone in Pakistan), and in 2026 outdoor flying has been restricted by federal and provincial orders. Check the drone ban status (Drone Ban Status in Pakistan: Federal and Provincial Tracker) before flying. Last checked: October 2026.
