Who was the actual seller? Was it Amazon.com or a reseller selling products on Amazon? Did you try to actually contact the reseller and explain the problem? If the seller was selling stolen property, then you recourse should be through the actual reseller, but waiting more than 2 years to...

Anyone remember how quiet the skies were after 9-11? In an emergency the FAA/government can clear the air. This could easily be extended appropriately to drones.

They don't need to share lens sizes, image dimensions or resolutions. You can even mix in still pictures. You just do it all with your video editing software to make smooth transitions and adjust views.

What specific tax was listed on the invoice? What is the sales tax rate in your state?

If I wanted a new drone now I would just purchase one direct from DJI. On the other hand if I were looking for an excuse to not buy one I sure would be able to find an excuse somewhere. So, just do it and start enjoying a new flying experience. It's not likely prices will go down if you wait.

If purchasing "refurbished" make sure you understand what refurbished means. Also make sure the actual seller (it's not Amazon) will tell you what it means. From what I read, it doesn't mean much; it wasn't really refurbished, but just minor appearance review and may a little seller test, not...

The rone doesn't have a build-in microphone. If it did all you would pickup with the noise of the motors and propellers. Just record locally and synchronize during video edit and production.

Contact the seller and ask for all of the details that are important to you.

Drone video high definition file recordings are on the drone SD card, not on the controller. Make sure you copy all new video files to your computer after each flight. Only very low resolution video files are on the controler.

You should have asked for battery details, including the number of charge cycles on each an the date of original purchase. If the details aren't satisfactory, then your risk goes up and your offer price should drop to match your increased risk.

The receipt seems to be rather generic and non-descript and doesn't even mention batteries, so not much to go on. "Minimal wear" is rather useless for any electronic equipment. The seller should have written out details, not used the generic box layout. For me it would have been sufficient...

What are the details on the receipt about the drone and accessories?

If you have a real buyer meeting your price. To me the obvious decision is to sell quickly and not wait for a better offer or some future personal decision. If your real plan is for a new drone then just do it and move on.

When it comes to electronics, and as price is no concern, get the latest technology that suits your expected usage. Refurbished is still used with electronics of unknown expectations. On the other hand if refurbished is not used but really an unused model sold as used/refurbished, then you...

You could ask for a screen showing that the seller unbound it from his/her account. You could ask for a signed affidavit that the seller unbound it from his/her DJI account.
