Yet another nooob joining the dizzy ranks of quad aviation

[Shark69]

Hi boys n girls
Today i purchased my very 1st Drone. After alot of changing my mind and reading reviews and you tube clips, i finally settled on the mavic pro with the extra stuff. Battries etc..
I brought second hand but almost new with very little fly time. The guy has agreed to bring it to my home and aet it into flight himself so i can be assured its ok.
Please can you guys give me hints and clues as to what i am looking for and any tell tale things i need not to see..
This is a brand new hobby and i lime to do things right.
Thanks guys

Here are some things to verify:

• Check the Mavic aircraft and remote controller for signs of physical damage
• Make sure the camera is able to level itself and point straight ahead when powered on
• Ask him to fly it to verify it's able to hover and fly in a controlled manner
