Buying a Used Drone — The UK Checklist
Before you hand over cash for a used DJI, run through this checklist. It's the same one our workshop uses to grade pre-owned stock.
Serial numbers and activation
Confirm the drone can activate against a fresh DJI account — otherwise it may be locked or stolen.
Physical inspection
Look for gimbal play, motor grit, cracked shells and impact marks on landing gear.
Battery health
A tired battery is the single most expensive part to replace. Check cycle count in DJI Fly.
