    Damaged drone on arrival....safe to fly or not?

    Yeah the second he said I caused the damage I pretty much knew where it was going. I'll try to take the positives from it as I have learnt a lot... I'll be a glue expert in no time.

    Damaged drone on arrival....safe to fly or not?

    Thanks for all the info everyone. It's great to get all the opinions for consideration. The seller has gone MIA so I will have to make do with what I have. I've ordered a new middle shell but after doing a lot of research and seeing as its a temporary fix I also decided to get the screwdriver...

    Damaged drone on arrival....safe to fly or not?

    Thanks Guys, It definitely seems like the drone has had a collision, there are a couple of scuffs on the gimble as well. I contacted DJI Support and they said its safe to fly but advised me to run a couple of checks which I did and all seems good. I'm not going to spin the propellers just yet...

    Drone flying in Rotterdam

    Hi Joost, Thanks a lot for the info, very helpful. I'll take you up on the advice. I'll be checking into the hotel at 8am, so weather depending I might just make a beeline down to the park before the crowds show up and have a little play. Off to the country side in the UK next so I can be a...

    Damaged drone on arrival....safe to fly or not?

    Thanks for the info @old man mavic and @THEN3LLI . Yes, I don't plan to fly with a crack like that. I've looked into buying a replacement middle shell but then I looked into the teardown of the Mini 2 which is way beyond my skill set. The photos looked fine, the seller was on FB marketplace but...

    Damaged drone on arrival....safe to fly or not?

    Hi Everyone, I just ordered my first drone and I regrettably purchased a second hand one on the basis the seller said it was "as good as new" with no crashes or damage. Well, after a quick inspection after receiving it I see what appears to be a crack but I'm a total noob so not sure if its...

    Dji Mini 2 Fcc hack

    Waiting for my first drone to arrive in the next day or two and cant wait to have a play with it. One thing I haven't asked the seller if the firmware has been updated to V01.04.0000 (Its second hand). I see there is no roll back, has DJI ever made it impossible to roll back firmware before...

    Drone flying in Rotterdam

    Hi Everyone, I just picked up my first drone, DJI Mini 2 and will be passing through Rotterdam in a couple of weeks. I would love to get down to the port but since having a scout around online it looks like for the most part its all a no fly zone along with the rest of Rotterdam. Has anyone got...
