Used camera drones

These are the drones people buy to film and photograph from the air: a stabilized camera on a gimbal, GPS to hold position, and a controller with a live view on a phone or screen. The folding DJI Mavic and Air lines, Autel's EVO series and the square-bodied Phantom all sit here, along with Skydio's self-flying 2 and 2+, Yuneec's six-rotor Typhoons and Holy Stone's budget GPS drones. All of them weigh over 250 g, so in the US they have to be registered with the FAA and fly with Remote ID. Used, the camera is only half the story. Check the battery count and health, the gimbal, the arms and props for crash repairs, and that the seller has released any account lock.
