Maybe you just got a new Mavic Air 2 bit.ly/2MavicAir and need to sell your old Mavic Air. Maybe you are buying a used drone from someone online. Either way, there are somethings that you will want to make sure are done before the drone changes hands for the best experience on both sides of the transaction.
I've bought and sold many drones in the last few years and realized that there are some things that are easy to overlook during the process. This video is designed to help you remember to do all the things that you might forget to do before you sell and even suggest a few things that you may not have thought of. It is also good for a used drone buyer because they can check to make sure the drone seller is doing these things - which benefits both sides of the equation.
I mentioned the ANGEL BATTERY CONDITIONER as a good tool for getting your drone batteries ready to ship. Here is a link to check out my overview video about it.

Great job Kelly. Just a precaution to anyone who is trying to sell their drone is not to reset it to factory settings or remove the FAA ID# until after you sell it if you are going to demonstrate flying it to the buyer. This will keep you legal and avoid a mess if something bad happened.

All great suggestions. In my case, when I thought I would sell my MA, I advertised in our local area. The first guy that seemed semi-serious about it wanted to see it fly. He did, and he seemed to like it and I thought it was sold. When he did not come back I was a little disappointed, but then I saw where he added a comment to my ad saying that while he thought it was nice, he felt it was just too complicated for him. Oh well. So, I guess my advice would be make sure you have a buyer before you reset anything 😊

Funny you do the video as I am currently saving and selling things to get a DJI as DJI are a dream drone I would love to have. Was hoping to save for Air 2 but not there yet, so standard Air would be great for me to get into the world of DJI.

Good tips all, Kelly. Just sold my Spark. One snag I came across is that FedEx will not allow you to ship Lipo batteries. Ended up having to switch to UPS. So how is it, two weeks later, my Mavic Air 2 was delivered by FedEx?
@readysetdrone
@readysetdrone 4 жыл бұрын
I thought that LiPo batteries just meant that the package could not go on a commercial airliner - but cargo planes or trucks are OK. That's my understanding. Maybe DJI has a special contract with FedEx?
