I have no use for a drone right now, but gee, I really wish I had those 2K to spend right now. This looks amazing.

I thought this came out in 2018. Is this a new model? Or an old article?

You are correct, DJI released this in 2018. https://www.dji.com/newsroom/news/dji-introduces-mavic-2-pro-and-mavic-2-zoom

Perhaps only now is the Boing Boing store selling this. If so, I’m confused why it doesn’t say the list price is $1,000,000 but it’s on sale for 99.8% off like everything else in the store.

“On sale”? Yeah, using the equivocal meaning of “on sale” as in “for sale” rather than offered at a discounted “sale” price. $1729 is the MSRP.

You can get the Mavic 2 Pro cheaper elsewhere on Amazon and/or with bundled extras (they way retailers do to offer deals without violating the manufacturer’s minimum advertised pricing restrictions)

The most interesting drone to me right now is their $399 Mavic Mini, a 249 gram drone that is under the 250 gram limit. So it is legal to fly without FAA registration and, I think, over people (though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that).

That is very tempting…
