Let's face it, buyers have a lot to lose. They send off money before receiving the product. (Unless it's a face to face transaction). Yes, they can appeal to eBay, their credit card , etc. but that's a hassle and not a 100% guarantee. I'd be direct with the purchaser and ask specifically what...

I am sure there is always a risk I suppose, but when I was shopping EBay if I could see serial number I could check on DJI's website and see if any factory warranty remained and if it had DJI insurance. Knowing warranty remained and low battery cycles (I would ask seller) helped me get a...

Don't mean to stir things up, but when I purchased my Mini 2 fly more kit, it came complete with a 20 W charging block. We bought a Mini 3 Pro combo kit a few months later and there was no charging block. (No case or propeller guard either). At first I thought I was shorted the charger but...

My understanding, for what it's worth (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that dual port charging blocks max out at half the wattage split between the two ports. So a 100 w dual provides 50 w each port, whereas a 100 w single port provides up to the max 100 w.

How many watts is the charger rated?

While both Bob and I were aware of the risks in the transaction, the forum really helped. Just reading Bob's posts I knew him to be quite a serious photographer, well traveled and wanting the ability to add an under 250 g drone to his arsenal. It was clear neither of us had bad intentions and...

Some very beautiful shots. Love Spain. I'm not courageous enough to take some of the flights you did.

I am curious as to the height and angle the drone flys when executing a quick shot. For example, Rocket is vertical 90 deg, to what height? Dronie, angle and distance? Boomerang? Helix? I would like to be able to predict where the drone is heading once I press start. Thanks

I no longer have that drone, it was replaced. I will try your suggestion out of curiosity but I have come to the conclusion my lack of experience caused me to think I had enough battery power remaining right before it emergency landed bouncing off the roof.

Thanks for all your advice, it turns out I sold my drone to another forum member. Actually this is a good place, as members know about drones and are educated consumers which makes for a smooth transaction.

Sorry I hadn't checked the site for a while and didn't see your messages. I would be willing to sell it for $400 and split the shipping costs. It's not bound and is in absolutely perfect condition. Do you know of a way we can both be protected and avoid eBay commission? I too have 100%...

Bought a Mini 2 from a person that flew it less than 10 times, without incident. The complete kit, drone, controller, case, 3 batteries, charging block, cables, charging block, etc. all in original box. I have flown it only a few times myself. I now own a Mini 3 (another story) as a family...
