Selling drone - how to "factory reset"?

Router83 · Oct 7, 2020

Hello
I want to sell my MA2.
How do I "factory reset" my drone, in order that all data on the aircraft and RC is deleted?
So the next owner can start from beginning? (pairing RC with aircraft, setup, etc...)
Thanks!

If you connect to DJI Assistant on your PC you can go to the Firmware tab and down to Restore Factory Defaults.
I wouldn't bother, how can you give a test flight to the prospective buyer if you reset & don’t log in ?

There is absolutely no need to reset the drone but you will probably want to delete all photos and video in the internal storage of the drone.

I don't see "factory reset" in DJI Assistant.

I don’t have an Air 2 so can’t test but I assume it will be the same as for the Mavic Pro in this how to video.

As stated no need too... Just format internal card your phone and DJI account store your info!!!

Sounds reasonable, as he states in the video - the device is removed from your "DJI Account".

Selling anything electronic that has ever had my private info gets cleaned the best it can.
If it's easy to do, what reasoning would anyone have to "not" do it - ? Aside from @THE CYBORG stating "test flight" I can't think of a good reason not to.
