M2 Pro: Refurbished Hesitation

[RickinWaST]

I'm in the process of making my first drone purchase. I've done a great deal of research on the Pro 2/Zoom and Platinum. The 2's are out of my budget range, but I'm not totally against considering refurbished models. However, I'm always guarded simply because I've never purchased anything refurbished. The DJI store only has the zoom which I'm not interested in.

There is the Ebay path, but again, I'm a little cautious as to who I would be dealing with /-: Example: DJI Mavic 2 Pro Quadcopter (DJI Refurbished) 192223074958 | eBay. I have no background in dealing with ebay when it comes to electronics such as a drone. In this example, it is a 2Pro. So how does this work: The DJI store doesn't have the 2Pro (Just the zoom), but this ebay "Offical DJI ebay store" does?

Finally, I've received reference to "djidroneservice", but can't seem to determine if they have deals on M2Pro?

Thanks!

Hey Rick - welcome to the forum.

Have a look at the classified section here. You often see people selling their Mavic 2s like this one:

MP2 Bundle For Sale

Selling my Mavic Pro2 due to it collecting dust. It’s awesome and I love it, I just don't have the time to fly it. Everything works great! Included is 2 batteries, Polar Pro case, ND filters, landing pad and everything else as if new. I am asking $1200.00. Let me know!

Second, you may want to reach out to @djidroneservice as I understand they occasionally have used and/or refurbished ones for sale. And he does his own work (in addition to being an approved forum vendor), so you can have more confidence in what you purchase from him.

Good luck with the search...

"djiofficialstore" is actually DroneNerds from Ft. Lauderdale. I've purchased 2 UAVs from them refurbished. Both were indistinguishable from new and they had a full warranty and new battery and were exactly as advertised. I personally ONLY buy refurbs, and not just UAVs, but anything I can.

Drone Nerds ships products on behalf of the DJI Store from that eBay store. You can see DJI has that eBay store listed as one of their official online stores on their Where To Buy page.

Most everyone who purchases a refurbished drone from DJI comments they look brand new. Refurbished drones come with the same one year warranty as a brand new drone. You can find more details about DJI's refurbished drones here.

Bought a refurbished Mavic Air and Pro thru DJI store. Both work great and come shipped like new. I plan on buying next one the same way.

I purchased a Refurbished Mavic Pro. Great price and quick delivery. If you can tell my MP apart from a New one I’d be surprised.

Update: Purchased the M2 Pro through DroneNerds!
