Buying used Mini 4K from my friend for $150, any advice or tips?

Not worried about scams or anything, he’s a good friend. This is my first drone, so just wondering if you guys have any advice or tips. Only thing I saw was the battery life was like, in reality, around 20 min. Is it worth spending $50 on more batteries tho lol?

Ask if it was ever crashed. $150 is a tad low. Also check battery cycle count.

Don’t believe it’s been crashed; he sent a pic, it looks in great condition. How do I check the battery cycle count?

@Sloane
When you go to fly it, go to Menu > Battery. It should show battery cycle count. I couldn’t paste the picture since Reddit won’t let me.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll check on Tuesday.

No problem. Anything over 150 cycles, I’d buy a new battery. I’ve seen DJI state that around 200 cycles are to be expected before functionality begins to deteriorate.

I don’t think it’ll be that high because he has another drone, and he doesn’t fly them daily or anything. But I’m curious now to see what it’s at. Thank you again, I’ll update you on Tuesday.

No problem! Definitely lmk.
