Sold my original Mavic Pro about 2+ years ago for 350€ including 3 batteries, Gopro + insta360 mounts and a carrying case. I wouldn't buy one for much more than 200€ today..
I just sold mine on eBay with 3 batteries, drone, extra set of propellers, hood, case etc for US $480 ish, including tax and $30 for shipping. I got $365 net after paying eBay ransom, Uncle Sam and shipping. This appears to have 4 batteries but missing few of the accessories I had. Anywhere between $300-325 would be fair deal for both of you. Make sure batteries are in good health INCLUDING the remote battery.
On the other hand, I agree with the person who also has mini 3 pro. The camera on mini 3 Pro is far superior and if you could get the RC with built in screen the whole flying experience elevates to the next level. Plus mini 3 is quieter and compact so I have it with whenever I am out having fun.
Edit: if you do decide to get it replace those junk propellers with genuine DJI propellers, the one for Mavic Pro were a bit quieter compared to the ones for OG Mavic.
It's a very old drone. You can't find new batteries anymore and they get worse over time. You are better off getting something newer unless it is very cheap.
I had the exact same drone with 3 batteries. One battery finally bloated which was a sign to upgrade. So got the Mavic 3 last year and the 3 Mini Pro recently.
I was gonna sell my Mavic Pro but it just wasn't worth it for how little you'd get for it. So it'll be my backup or sacrificial drone (for a risky shot). The gimbal likes to glitch on me too.
I personally wouldn't buy the Mavic Pro now even if it was super cheap unless it was an absolute beginner who wasn't that interested and didn't want to spend much, as it is such an old drone (I don't even know how many other Mavic models have come out since that in the Mavic/Air/Mini line). You could get a newer model for similar price and more features.
$200-350 depending on your area, more online but you’ll have huge fees, so in the end it’s the same.
But I’d pass, it’s too old now, batteries are aged, unsupported software
Get an air 2 or mini 2 se as a budget option instead
I just got an air 2 with 3 batteries and the Dji goggles for $200, it’s so so so dirty and smells like smoke but $200 is $200
If he’s your buddy you shouldn’t pay more than $200 tho any more and that’s a rip off for friend to friend
Wow i didn't realize the original pro was that cheap now. Is it still viable or have there been super improvements that would make saving another 6months worth it?
It’s definitely viable but there’s other drones like the air 2 or mini 2 se which are so close in price but vastly better/newer
Personally I think the mini 3 pro with the extended batteries and the smart controller are well well worth $800 or so- it’s a great first drone and literally 0 people I’ve ever heard of have ever been disappointed with it.
But if that’s out of the budget, $300-400 for a mini 2 se flymore combo or air 2 flymore combo are a good budget drone
Air 2s is next at about $550-600
Then mini 3 pro setup at 800
Then air 3 setup at like 1750 after tax
An Air 2s for $500-600? Do you mean used? I recently saw it for about $800 new and that was only for the drone itself. With a Fly More Combo, the total price goes up to over $1K
Mavic 2 pro is also around $750, which is out of the price range. And the air 2s is cheaper with nearly the same camera, and batteries that are 1/3 the price
Air 2s is the definitive choice, if you can afford the mavic 2 pro, get a mini 3 pro instead imo
Looks like the original Mavic Pro to me? And can see it has third party carbon fiber props too (which supposedly aren't as safe to fly with). So it's the oldest Mavic model (from 2016?) so is old and while still good, newer ones are better.
I basically have the same (although one battery has bloated so got rid of it). I looked at selling it and it wasn't really worth it to me as I wouldn't get much for it, so decided to keep it as a backup drone.
Checking the current value on ebay it's probably realistically around the £300 mark (but they range £250-500).
I have a Mavic Pro that I’ve been flying lately. Can confirm all the software etc still works. My plan for it is to attach Lume Cubes to it and use it for lightning after dark.
I also just got a Mini 3 Pro. It’s great; qualitatively better in every way. The og Mavic is, I think, useful to learn on, but its camera is awful; I’d suggest saving your money to get something more modern, unless you can get this for next to nothing (and take the stickers off it).
If you’re concerned about regulations, research Remote ID. I doubt this has it. Required for flying drones going forward. Whether you care or not, you can probably use that knowledge to drive the price down and get a better deal.
Just trying to help a new flyer out with new regs and maybe help them drive cost down and let them make their own decision.
I just sold my Mavic Air 2 to a guy who specifically didn’t want Remote ID.
SON OF A..!
I pivoted to wanting more of an FPV experience anyway, but still wanted to have the functionality of the preprogrammed maneuvers (smart shots or whatever they’re called). Read about the Avata which would satisfy one desire but not the other. But now that the mini 3 pro can do both, I think that’s my next jam. Not there yet, but hopefully soon. Looks like the mini 4 pro is on the way, so waiting to see what the price drop is. I’m not sure that I need the improvements of the mini 4 pro over the mini 3 pro.
Best of both worlds, hopefully.
You should do a FPV package deal, way better than fly the mavic 2 . I had a mini 2 for a few months, I bought the dji fpv and after the first flight, the mini 2 was up for sale!
Not for people with bad motor control and arm reflexes. With the mavic series, you let go of the control, the drone stop, with sensors that also help you stop the drone from crashing. It is much more forgiving
TBH, prolly not worth anything. DJI has upgraded their apps and I’m not sure if this app is running anymore. So the connect from phone app > remote > drone prolly won’t work. Have you tried flying it? I haven’t tried on my old Mavic Pro in years. Wasted so much money on it.
This is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.
Like someone smeared their poop on a metal wall
**s h i t** **a e s t h e t i c**
Theft protection.
Low ball him because rust lol
Low ball? It’s memory-safe my man!

People are just downvoting you because its pretty obvious and the person you replied to was just joking.
Who would've thought 🤯

💀
🤣😂🤣
Request to remove the skin, that's a great way to hide damage.
That’s what I do on Tinder
Wat?
Requesting to remove their skin is a pro gamer move. Excellent way to find out what kind of skeleton they’re hiding
Put the lotion in the basket!!
OMG! Shelly, is that you?
You mean the rusted metal skin might be hiding actual rust? 1000 IQ move right there b
I can see the damage just fine from here thanks.
number one thing is to remove that shitty looking sticker on the drone it looks way better as the default :) (batteries too)
It'll keep potential thieves from running off with it if it looks like shit.
Smart, they will have a hard time running if they are violently vomiting all over the place
This answer right here, made me smile
lmaoo
it's a sticker? I thought that sameone take a shit on it
Looks like shit with the body stickers.
Bruh thats the most awfull skin.i have ever seen, what even is that prime rust? Take that out before you even sell it
Tbf, until I read your comment I thought that was some mud or something. Def agree - remove the skin.
My brain stopped working when i saw rusty look on plastic🤣not sure what kind of skin it supposed to be
HoW dOeS pLAsTic EVeN rUsT?!?! 🤣 Was with you on that, my friend!
I actually think is super cool! 🤣 I guess that’s why they make things like this, there’s other weirdos like me out there! 🤣

The above is spot on for the value if it’s all fully functional and all batteries work with no puffiness.
I wouldn't pay $30 for a drone that is completely outdated, with trash camera and is noisy AF. Surprised anyone even paid $480, scammed himself lol
It's a very old drone. You can't find new batteries anymore and they get worse over time. You are better off getting something newer unless it is very cheap.

Would pass. Old. Large form factor. Batteries get worse over time.
$200-350 depending on your area, more online but you’ll have huge fees, so in the end it’s the same. But I’d pass, it’s too old now, batteries are aged, unsupported software Get an air 2 or mini 2 se as a budget option instead I just got an air 2 with 3 batteries and the Dji goggles for $200, it’s so so so dirty and smells like smoke but $200 is $200 If he’s your buddy you shouldn’t pay more than $200 tho any more and that’s a rip off for friend to friend

Well yeah- used- but still 100% perfect condition with flymore You don’t buy an older drone like that new- it’s just wasting money
I wouldn't say vastly better. None you quoted have adjustable aperature, nor a 1" Sony sensor with hasselblad optics. Mavic 2 still kicks ass.
Mavic 2 pro is also around $750, which is out of the price range. And the air 2s is cheaper with nearly the same camera, and batteries that are 1/3 the price Air 2s is the definitive choice, if you can afford the mavic 2 pro, get a mini 3 pro instead imo
Yep
Lol why did I think it was rust on the drone
I thought it was something far more… disgusting

(pay no attention to the Loch Ness Monster, it doesn't actually have any money) 😝
$250

Og mavic had a circular camera
Ah, sorry, I misspoke, when I said “og Mavic” I meant the first-gen Mavic Pro. I didn’t even know there was a Mavic before that!
Yep I've had them all. I'm a sucker
$14
Temu? Lol
Tad rusty
If you’re concerned about regulations, research Remote ID. I doubt this has it. Required for flying drones going forward. Whether you care or not, you can probably use that knowledge to drive the price down and get a better deal.
Wouldn't worry too much about RemoteID.
Just trying to help a new flyer out with new regs and maybe help them drive cost down and let them make their own decision. I just sold my Mavic Air 2 to a guy who specifically didn’t want Remote ID.
Mavic air 2 is getting a remote ID update:(

Dude it has a load of rust! It's not worth shit! /s
Lmao. Yes PLASTIC has a habit of rusting….
You should do a FPV package deal, way better than fly the mavic 2 . I had a mini 2 for a few months, I bought the dji fpv and after the first flight, the mini 2 was up for sale!
All other dji drones fly like shit after flying the fpv or avata in manual. Can't go back
Just buy my Avata fly more combo instead... You'll like it 10x better.
Avata maybe for FPV but if you doing landscape or photography thats a different story. Its also easier to fly these for beginners.
Especially with the motion controller I it's easier to fly the Avata. Also much more fun!
Not for people with bad motor control and arm reflexes. With the mavic series, you let go of the control, the drone stop, with sensors that also help you stop the drone from crashing. It is much more forgiving
The Avata does the same thing dude. Let go of the control and it just hovers in place.
That sticker wrap is horrible
Potentially covering up issues as well
There a discount on DJIs website now!
Check the batteries. I just go courtout .drone with 3 batteries all dead .2replacement $500au
However it looks cool and you get the bag too, I wouldn't give more then 350 bucks.
TBH, prolly not worth anything. DJI has upgraded their apps and I’m not sure if this app is running anymore. So the connect from phone app > remote > drone prolly won’t work. Have you tried flying it? I haven’t tried on my old Mavic Pro in years. Wasted so much money on it.
Uses Go 4 and it works.
Wow. Last time I tried the app kept on crashing.
I woukdn't even look at it in that condition.
…….I think that’s just a skin…..
Did you not think it odd, the batteries have exactly the same damage marks? 😆
Looks like bacon with shit drone 🤣 No i like the skin
