Which is better for beginners?

A. The DJI RC controller has a built-in screen, so there is no phone setup or cable to fuss with, and the three batteries let you practice longer per trip. Neither drone has obstacle avoidance, so fly carefully either way.

Is the Fly More Combo worth the extra money?

Yes if you will fly often. You get two extra batteries and the DJI RC screen controller, which together cost more than the price gap when bought separately. If you fly a few times a year, B is enough.

No. A records 4K. B tops out at 2.7K at 24, 25 or 30 fps, or 1080p up to 60 fps. Both use the same 1/2.3-inch 12MP sensor.

How long can each fly?

A is rated at 38 minutes with its Intelligent Flight Battery. B is listed at 34 minutes in one spec and 31 minutes in another, so expect around 30 minutes of real flight. Real times are shorter in wind or cold.

Do I need to register either drone?

In the US, no, both are under 250 g (A is 248 g, B is under 249 g). You still need to follow FAA rules, including TRUST certification and remote ID rules for recreational flight.

Which holds its value better?

The combo usually resells higher because of the DJI RC controller and extra batteries. Check the price history on this page before buying used.
