The current Reboot Hub replacement-price references on 17 September 2026 are $399.99 for a DJI Mini 4 Pro Pristine Pre-owned drone-only kit, $590.99 for DJI Air 3, and $817.99 for DJI Air 3S. The Mini 4 Pro model year is 2023 (under 249 g), the Air 3 model year is 2023 (720 g), and the Air 3S model year is 2024 (724 g). Reboot Hub’s published 2026 repair-guide ranges put Mini 4 Pro gimbal or camera work at $150–$250 and Air 3 arm or motor work at $180–$320.
Those two kinds of number become a decision only when they describe the same aircraft, the same damage, and the same destination kit. A repair quote under half of the live like-for-like replacement is usually the path to keep the serial you already own. A quote that approaches or exceeds the live replacement kit is usually a replacement conversation.
How should repair versus replace be read in 2026?
Reboot Hub’s crash guide uses a first cut: repair if the likely repair cost is under 50 percent of replacement value for that model. On 17 September 2026 that cut is $200.00 against Mini 4 Pro’s $399.99 drone-only Pristine price, $295.50 against Air 3’s $590.99, and $409.00 against Air 3S’s $817.99. A Mini 4 Pro gimbal job at $150–$250 therefore sits on the line. An Air 3 full shell and sensor job at $400–$550 sits above the Air 3 cut. Air 3S labour is quoted after inspection; do not copy Air 3 ranges onto Air 3S. The rule is a planning cut, not a guarantee. Water damage, bent frames, and missing vision systems often move the job above the estimate.

Repair ranges come from the 2026 repair guide. Replacement prices are live Reboot Hub listings on 17 September 2026 for Pristine Pre-owned drone-only kits. Fly More and screen-controller kits cost more.
What else changes the replacement number?
Drone-only kits omit batteries. A Mini 4 Pro battery is $72.99. An Air 3 battery is $139.99. An Air 3S battery is $165.99. If the damaged aircraft’s batteries are still usable, drone-only replacement is the fair comparison. If they are not, add those live battery prices before calling replacement too expensive. Controller generation also moves the total: replacing an Air 3 that already has RC 2 with a drone-only airframe is not the same as buying a full RC 2 combo at $1,049.99–$1,128.99.
A third path is a single live OEM-pulled part when one zone is damaged: Air 3 front left arm $63.59, Air 3S front left arm $84.95. Several arms plus an Air 3S GPS board at $151.91 and upper cover at $118.68 add up quickly. See the Air 3S parts table.
