    Buying broken DJI drones

    FREE: I have an original MavicPro that landed in a creek, was underwater for 5 minutes, and no longer binds to the controller. I want to give it to someone who wants to salvage its parts. I also have a battery that was not underwater, the controller, filters, etc. Not sell, but give.

    Buying broken DJI drones

    I am not looking to sell my original MavicPRO. I want to give it to someone who wants to salvage its parts. The quadcopter does not bind to the controller after it had a 5 minute bath in a creek. Let me know.

    Mavic Pro Submerged 10 Minutes

    No water in the lens, not even under the filter. No water marks. Removed the mSD card immediately. Thanks for your advice, won't test it again for 3 days.

    Mavic Pro Submerged 10 Minutes

    A gust of wind blew my 2017 Mavic Pro into some trees yesterday. Lost a prop, watch the video feed of it tumbling, and then, "aircraft disconnected." I went to the shallow creek where it last hovered. Found it after 10 minutes, submerged in the creek. Drone was still on! I disconnected the...

    Cheaper drone suggestion for a newbie before they buy the more expensive mini?

    Opinions here are very individual, so here is my 2¢. I bought a "practice drone" for $40 with an end result of wasting $40. I then took out my Mavic Pro (my wife paid $1000 for the drone package) and took it to a WIDE OPEN FIELD and put it in BEGINNER MODE and began with small steps like hover...

    Looking for a reason

    Thank you all for your great responses. I am familiar with ground-based emergency responses as I am a physician and have done relief work in disasters. Yes, it is about logistics first and your responses point me in the right direction(s) if I wish to pursue it. It was good to see examples of...

    Looking for a reason

    I've been flying a Mavic Pro for 3 years, fixed wing RC airplanes for 2 years, and a Mavic Mini for 1 year. Fixed wing: I watch the airplane as it flies and it's beautiful. Mavics: I enjoy the FPV (first person view) and photograph abandoned structures. Tons of fun. Now, I am seeking the next...
