Selling DJI Mini 3 Pro for DJI Air 3? How to Prepare a Drone for Sale (all DJI Drones)

With the rumored DJI Air 3 coming soon, you might be considering putting your DJI Mini 3 Pro up for sale, and I want to show you how to prepare your DJI Drone for the new owner, getting rid of all personal information as well as unbinding the aircraft from your DJI account. Same procedure for Air 2, Air 2s, DJI Mini 2, DJI Mini SE, and other DJI Drones using the DJI Fly App

My tips for selling your 2 hand drone that has been used solidly for a year, used in gale force winds, crashed multiple times, landed on a sandy beach, flown in wet weather, flown into a tree, launched in long grass multiple times, carried your insta 360 camera and gopro regularly, dropped on the floor when you tried to hand catch it, stuffed into a far too tight camera bag or jacket pocket, flown multiple times with the gimbal guard still on, controller dropped on concrete....

Is mention none of the above, your ad should read something like -

For sale Almost New Mini 3 Drone, only flown once to test it works, stored carefully in it's original box, a few cosmetic marks where I took it out of the box and carefully placed it back.
Controller has slight scuff which was there when it was brand new, doesn't affect use at all.
One of the motors seems a bit gritty just needs oiling, flies fine.
Camera gimbal might need calibrating as the horizon is tilted but doesn't affect quality of video.
Fly app says gimbal overload error but I just ignore that, seems to work just fine, just needs calibrating.
Battery snapped off when I was removing protective tape unpacking it, just tapes back on and causes no issue.
One of the controller sticks has snapped off, just needs glueing back on and the crack on the screen was there out of the box from new, doesn't affect use.

One very careful owner, very low flying time.

Also in US if drone is registered with FAA you need to go online to FAA site and remove the drone from your account 👍

Hi Henrik, just used this video to prepare my Mini-3 Pro for selling it (sniff, very sad, even though it is to a friend). It was perfect, easy to follow, and helped a lot, thank you very much.

[Lee-zggx]

Best video around Henrik for unbinding and all that good stuff

[heklik]

How can it accept a new account, when the drone is registered to the previous owner ?

[CaminoAir]

Greatly appreciated, Henrik. Even with DJI making it so easy in the Fly App, it still helps to have all this advice.

[martinstreasurehunting]

Don't think there is no data on the first mini.

[steveday]

Very good video sir! One question is what happens to the DJI Care Refresh plan? Would one just 'eat' the cost of that at the point of sale? thanks.

[chris-ippk]

Excellent video again, I'm getting ready to take my brand new mini 3 Pro back to shop, I've not flown it, but I've noticed the rear left arm when folded in has some up down movement ok when unfolded, is this normal, from hinge, ?

[RonaldBrown]

Great information my friend, and thanks for sharing.

Hej Henrik. Tak for dine gode video. Jeg er ved at købe en brugt dji mini 3 pro. Den har fløjet i 800 min, ca 14 timer, er det meget for sådan en drone?

[andrewschwartz]

Thank you for this video! I’m just ready to sell my DJI Mavic Air 2 since I upgraded to the Air 3. This video was very helpful as I would’ve missed a few of those steps had I not watched it.

[aquaclean]

HI, I'm not selling my drone I'm returning it because it was defective. Do I still have to remove it from my DJI account? thanks...

[iDokoMedia]

Thank you sir, I’ll prep my DJI Mini 2 for sale. Just got my Mini 4 Pro so time to say farewell to the my old Mini 2.

[mpberger]

That's very helpful - thank you very much!
However, I'm in a special situation - hopefully, someone can help me with that:
1. My Mini 3 Pro was replaced (just the drone, with care refresh) and now, I want to sell the new, replaced drone together with the original equipment (Fly more etc.).
2. Care refresh is still valid until May 2024.
-> What would the process be here? Do I just unbind the Mini 3 from my account and log out? (There is obviously no data on the replacement drone)
-> What about care refresh? Is the replacement drone (different serial number) already registered under my care refresh contract and will it stay with the drone?

[IanKeith]

I have a DJI Mavic Pro, I’m not seeing anywhere to disband the drone from my account…

[derekpask]

Henric thats useful info anyway, thank you as all ways.

[luf]

Ja, jeg glæder mig til at se din fremvisning af AIR3 ;-)

[paxmortum]

i sold my Mini 2 last week and would have been happy to see this video before 😅 ... in the end i did it all, but ever felt like i've forgotten something while searching through all the menus and settings 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️😅
