You have no issue flying in rain w/ the holes not covered by the rain jacket?

Excellent info! I could plug this up and get that data. And you're correct, I just got the controller out and I am logged in under my DJI account on both the fly app and on the controller as well. However, when I look up the bound section it shows the original owners email but with a couple of...

What you want is the 1001 hacked firmware.

2) I have no idea. I never looked. He turned the drone on and the controller then handed it to me for the brief test flight. It's an RC controller. I see what you're saying. I answered your questions in green above. I'm not home but I'll put a video together. I believe that the guy logged out...

Agreed, but in the OP I mentioned that this drone I purchased is bound to another account. An account that isn't mine so I don't know the email address for it.

Well said

3 weeks ago I purchased it. But then a couple of days went by that I realized the issue of it being bound. Reached out to DJI and after several days DJI advised me that they did contact the original owner but that they advise me to return the drone back to the seller for a refund because they...

Well, I'd be happy to do that but they told me to send it back to the seller. Which is the person on Facebook I bought it from. They never said to send it to them at DJI.

Makes sense. Sounds like if original owner changes their password, I'm done for & this is now an almost $1500 paperweight.

Excellent point M3USA as always. I can't thank you enough for your feedback these past 24 hours.

Whoa now that is wild. I had no idea DJI auto logs out customers. So this is starting a whole other topic I am interested in, what does DJI do if I am the original owner of a drone and I forget my login?

True. In fact I asked CashApp about it and gave them the police report... Crickets from cashApp. And it's been some days since.

Hard to say really. I had assumed he was just deleting his flight logs. And on my stupidity, I never even thought about checking for the bound account. The lesson I've learned here is to try not to save money next time I purchase a drone and for peace of mind, just order direct from DJI I...

Certainly true. (I work in IT) However, there was no SD card present in the RC controller nor in the M3 unfortunately. But even then. Odd, that DJI's email to me said return to the seller. I figured they would have said send us the drone because it's been stolen. And even more oddly, I can...

yes very true. We met at a local park. After the quick flight he requested to clear his info off the device. I said I understand. I figured perhaps he was deleting flight paths and records & taking his sd card out. After that I sent him cash App and that was that. Unfortunately I didn't pay...
