Hey Guys, new here just joined. I have a mavic pro that i havent used in awhile, what do i need to do to make this useable again. I know i need new batteries, possibly software updates and help. Thanks for any input, unit is like new, I hate to throw it in the trash.

It will have logged itself out of your DJI account, so it will be restricted in range and altitude until you log back in, which you can do wherever there is WIFI, or via a mobile hotspot if out in the field...

As for updates they are somewhat optional - it will probably fly fine without them, but you may get some extra / better functionality if you do update firmware. Be aware you may also get some additional restrictions so think carefully about whether this is worth doing !

DJI batteries do tend to look after themselves to some extent when not used - they should self-discharge to 60% and then remain relatively stable there. You can check their status and voltage stability via the RC, but they might be OK.

Check props for any cracks or other damage, and replace any that are not pristine.

Clean all the sensors and the camera lens with a soft microfibre cloth.

Fire it all up at home first to check it all connects OK, then move to field tests, which will usually involve hovering quite close to you and monitoring behaviour whilst flying LOS and checking stability and reliability and that all the controls work and are calibrated OK.

And that should be all you need to do, other than the law-compliance stuff.

Which model of the Mavic Pro do you have? Obtaining OEM batteries for the original Mavic Pro and Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom can be challenging.

If you are worried about RID, AFAIK, the original Mavic Pro would require an external RID model.

Once you update the mobile app, that should handle the software updates.
