- Who buy's a faulty drone on PURPOSE? Well I did! and the best thing is that due to a strange eBay listing - I don't even know what it is! watch me unbox the drone, figure out the fault and see if I can fix it or if its good for nothing except for the bin.

Don’t you dare not follow up with a flight 🤣 You’ve told a great story there Gavin the only true way to finish is to put it up in the air. Far better than any Mavic 3 review great idea for a video, Well executed and a really enjoyable watch - Now get that bird in the air!! - Thanks for your content
I do appreciate all comments but this one was very nice thank you, this video took a lot of work and it was designed to be exactly that .. a story so it's nice to see that recognised honestly it means a lot ☺️ it seems the desire to see it is there so I shall give it a flight as soon as the weather allows ! Part of the charm was the fact I genuinely didn't know what it was going to be I'm glad it all came across enjoyable 😊
Gavin, please fly this drone.
I have one and still enjoy it
Only fault is the noise. Pip.
Hi pip, I will certainly give it a go! Never flown one before but the comments tell me it's noisy but I can cope with that! 😊 Make sure you tune in to the follow up
Interesting! It paid off, huge! Awesome, my friend. One more DJI's flying machine was added to the trophy room. Thanks so much for sharing the videos with us. 👍🙂
Thank you very kindly! Glad you enjoyed it my friend yes the trophy room is growing! 😊
@@GAVINHR Awesome Gavin, definitely a score 💯👊
Oh 100% I couldn't believe it! Thanks mate
I still love the mavic air it’s a great drone
I look forward to flying it. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great 😂🤩. I would really see it flying 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for watching! Then I shall give it a flight and show you all the result 😊
Risky but in your case it paid off. I'm interested for more review videos on your Mavic Air. Cheers 🍻 🍻 🍻
Thanks my friend! I'll give it a try and record the results and post it up for all to see
This was a nice video! Yes please, I would like to see you fly this drone.
Of course! I will do as soon as possible. Thanks for the kind words I wanted to do something a bit different !
What a great video. Love your creativity Gavin. Congrats on your new drone
Really appreciate the kind words! Took a lot of making this video so it's nice to see people enjoyed it. Im excited to have a play!
Well done Gavin a lot of work but worthwhile looking forward to watching you fly it
Great video regards Dave
Thanks Dave! Hope you're keeping well and I shall fly it and post the video as soon as possible
Great video, well done...Be interested to see what you think to this "old" DJI drone....Bargain Boy...🤔😳😀😀🇬🇧
Hahaha 100% bargain I have to admit ! Thanks for the kind words
Thumbs up for me mate 👍get flying!
Thanks man! You need to come fly with me soon anyway on the riverbank! Get you filming some ships !
Yes Gavin, fly it! I love my mavic air; you will find that it is a bit noisy though. Ian :-)
Thanks Ian! Seems to be a popular comment about the noise ! I'll give it a whirl and see how she does
Bargain that gav well done , be nice to see a video of it flying now it’s all sorted
Flying it seems a popular request so I shall get it up in the air! Thanks for watching
Hey Gavin! 👋 I really like your videos; especially this one, so much so that I want to try what you did in this video! 🙂 What was your experience with DJI like? Was the age of the drone a problem?
Honestly I can't fault DJI at all, they took it back for repair no questions asked - I gather this was because it was an activation issue so it had never flown as unless it's activated it won't spin the props. Glad you liked the video it was a fun one to try!
Brilliant find and what a bargain!!👍😎
Of course we want to see it fly!
If you're not going to fly it I'll give you a hundred notes for it 😁
Haha I bet 😝 for the money i couldn't even bring myself to sell it, it will be nice with the rest of the collection I think! I will fly it and report back I promise
Of course we want see you fly it. Will bring back some memories of your older videos which where awesome , so you paid 160 for it gav how much do u want for it 😂😂
Yeah I may even strap a set of parabolics on it for old times sake! Yep unreal isn't it! And now I have a brand new one ! Crazy good service from DJI
ebay, good grief ebay. Trying to sell my mavic-air and air 2 on eBay, running into a lot of scammers. Glad you got somewhat of a deal.
eBay has always been kind to me to be fair I have never had any real issues
Woow thats a nice buy...😊👍
Let it airborne...! 😁
Will do my friend !
So they still have a stockpile of Airs? Christmas release of Air SE? LOL
hahaha! who knows!
Love this!!
Well Gavin, it certainly made for an interesting video. But considering it's an old model, and you already have the much newer, more capable MA2 [or is it the MA2S?], what will you do with this antique now?
I have absolutely no idea my friend! I didn't think that far through ☺️👍 I have the air 2s, quite the fleet now actually it's hard to keep up
@@GAVINHR Hmmm... In that case maybe it's time for some range tests to compare it with your Air 2S! 😊
Still a great drone! Would love to see it fly!
Coming soon!
The Mavic Air is a great drone with so many important features. Very performing. It was my first drone with which I learned to fly, but above all, to practice to master film shooting. I still use it! The only big problem, like almost all DJI drones, is that after 3-4 years it is difficult to find the batteries. They are not in production, and in a few years there is the risk of not being able to fly anymore. Of the three batteries in the Combo kit, only one is still active, but I think it will leave me in a while...🙈😭
Yes I am already finding this to be a problem finding battery's and chargers etc it's a shame
Must be different over there then the US, there's batteries for any and all of them available here, almost everywhere. I couldn't even believe that your comment was a actual concern, because like I said. Batteries are plentiful for anything except older Autel original 4k drone and evos somewhat sparsely available.
Brilliant Gavin I have just returned my Mavic Air 2 because of a camera fault under the refresh scheme so I am hoping everything runs smoothly I think think the refresh scheme is a excellent choice.
I would be very interested to see you fly the old bird I used to own one.
Hi Keith! Oh really? I hope it does not take too long to get back to you, what was the fault? I will certainly get it up in the air if that is what the viewers want!
@@GAVINHR The problem was when recording video the video playback had a quivering on screen so I contacted DJI support sent them a copy of the problem first response was recalibrate the gimbal which I had already done and the next response was have I got the latest firmware updates and again yes I have so then it escalated to send it back so it’s on its way we will see what happens next.
Well I found the process pretty simple and easy so I hope it's not too long ! Thanks for replying
UPDATE ...Hi Gavin Mavic Air 2 replacement on its way back should be with me tomorrow UPS have informed me of delivery fantastic service from DJI Refresh turn around took 1 day.
Hi Gavin received a new Mavic Air 2 today the turnaround took 2 days big thumbs up to DJI Refresh.
Small risk big reward
Yep! worked out very well
Nice one Gavin! enjoy will we be seeing this along the Humber sometime ?
Yes as always I will be testing it along the Humber ! Peaceful and I'm unlikely to hit anything haha! 🙂
Great result 👍
Thank you for watching 🙂
Awesome!
Go on Gav, get it in the air
Will do mate! As of writing this - this video was actually uploaded over a week ago I've not flown it yet I was waiting to see what people wanted. Video coming soon then!
Yeah definitely do videos on this Drone dude.. Would love to see it perform. It's a nice looking Drone.
It feels really solid also! Like genuinely well built im very impressed with it !
@@GAVINHR I've heard a lot of good things about it. Most people say it's still a beast to this day. I'd rather watch this now than more videos of the Mavic 3. Lol.
The original Mavic Air was the last product from the refined age of DJI.
They simply don't do it like that anymore.
It does seem a lot of drone for the money with the obstacle avoidance, tracking gesture control etc and it feels well built also!
Hahahahhaha! Actually belly laughed at that comment, brilliant!
Well at first I thought you where on a looser but as ever you came out on top. It disney matter what you touch Gav it turns to gold, well done mate 👏 👍
Hahaha! Brilliant! 🤣👍 Thanks mate! I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching and the comment
Well done Gavin! its not often that these bargains come on the market! 👍 finish the video with a flight over the Humber!
That's the plan!
You still got a great deal👍I would be proud to win that lottery. Definitely follow up with a flight I'm still rocking the mini it's a blast. I followed your instructions on getting 1.4.8 on mine with assistant 2 works great on my android now👊
I am very pleased to hear that !glad my videos are useful
Cant wait to see you fly it what a bargain definitely fly it be great 😁👍🇬🇧
You and me both!
I actually consider this Drone way better than the DJI Mini, because you get the full obstacle avoidance, way points, all the quick shots, shoots at 4k 30, i have one as well as the Mavic Air 2, you ended up getting a brand new drone, so for what you paid i consider you came way over top, KUDOS!!
Incredible how it all worked out in the end and very lucky that DJI actually replaced it ! When I first saw the listing on eBay I thought it could of made an interesting video but never did I think it would turn out the way it did. Thank you for watching 🙂
Looking forward to the maiden flight just for fun.....
Me too! I've not flown it yet I was waiting to see if there was interest, I'll give it a go and record the results!
Only because this drone was from before my drone flying days....
I learned the hard way to NEVER order off EBAY. Their customer service absolutely SUCKS
Nice one Gavin!
Thanks Cliff
Was my first drone the Air. Realy enjoyable, capable bit of kit.
Wow what a deal!!!! Ok yes this was lucky, but dang!
Very lucky! But hey, at the time I had the video idea it could of been a complete fail and worth nothing so it's incredible how it turned out in the end
I think it would be a great video especially for beginners. You don't always have to have to the latest and greatest (which is pretty expensive) to enjoy the hobby. I still think the Spark is a good choice for beginners and I recently got the Air 2S for 750 from Amazon and an extra battery for 65 on Ebay.
I have to agree, from what I know about this drone it's pretty high tech for its age too! Lots and lots of features I'm excited to test out and see how it performs. There are a lot of used drones out there that are still perfectly capable still and hopefully this urges people to look for a bargain or two
@@GAVINHR I was just looking at some videos from the original air and they looked good to me. Can't wait for your review.
Gavin,
Fly it, show us.. then you could do a wild comparison for sh*ts and giggles Mavic Air vs Mavic 3
Congrats you made a very good deal! 180 pounds for a new Mavic Air! It is a very decent drone, with FCC hack and some antenna amplifiers you have a nice transmission signal. In urban environment I reach 2km. Good advise, verify you wifi environment to have the least signal interference. Disable the wifi from your phone as well as bluetooth (bluetooth use same frequency as Wifi) to push the signal to its limits. It has sensors, d-cine profile etc... Sports mode is a lot of fun and you reach 68.4 km/h max speed. The wind will not push this drone like the mini 2 but stays very stable and you have similar compact size. It was my first drone, it's like the first love you always have the best memories. So sad I had broken it, it was below a tree and started to ascend to return home, it was a disaster. It broke in many pieces 😭
Sounds like the seller wanted to get that thing out of their household pretty quickly...
My mavric air is slowly moving forwards but it’s self and I got no Clue what the problem is
Wow great deal im really happy for you Gavin basically you got a brand new drone out of this you kind of wonder why the original owner never returned it to DJI
It's absolutely baffling why they never did that! Some people have more money than sense, I did check the logs on the drone as it seems people have been trying since 2019 to get this drone going and never worked ! I actually thought I could refresh the firmware and just get DJI to activate it but they ended up swapping it for a working one I was very lucky and all credit to DJI
@@GAVINHR OH ya there the best what other drone companies do that, None or any other companies for that matters clearly your not the original owner and bought it on Ebay as used , unbelievable again really happy for you bud , i guess you paid for shipping right
I didn't even pay for DJI shipping they sent me a returns label! But all will be reviewed in my follow up of the DJI experience as it's quite incredible!
@@GAVINHR LOL wow so much respect for DJI anyway look foward to your next video
They'll do almost anything to keep gathering information in American citizens yes, and funding their operation holding down the Chinese people.
Great video mate. Will we see a give away ?? When you getting the DJI MAVIC 3?
I will be doing a small giveaway actually at some point ! Ermmm maybe when it's finished haha! If I do eventually get it I will wait until all the features are working then do a proper review on it
what a total bargain mate i love my air its noisy yep has rubbish range yep but goes like the clappers and i would defo watch some flight cracking video mate.
Cheers Johnny! I've heard it's a pretty fast drone from others also ! Hey all my experience from the Mavic mini will help! I'll pop a set of yagis on it stick it in manual channel and send her out over the Humber for old times sake!
You know what you do with it? Transplant those motors from the Air to a Mini 2...
That would be interesting! Haha
Nice video really thought off..
Thank you! Yes it took a lot of work so I'm glad it was enjoyed by you
That eBay address states the North Pole, i believe that you have been naughty in 2021, and Santa decided to send you a mixed bag of nuts, an incomplete fly-more combo, the wrong drone stated, and a return to DJI required. Santa knows whose been naughty and nice, so best give away that drone to one of your drone fans and make good before Christmas Gavin. You might just get a lump of coal if you dont. Cheers!! and believe.✂
Done the exact same thing a few times gavin and sold them on
Check out the new flysafe down load on dji 2 s new sound and sensor lines p.s. nice to see you got a new drone 👍
Already done ! I combined it with my last app review! Really nice feature isn't it
I was hoping it wasn't a drone x pro or some other piece a junk ! Gavin , you are quite lucky my Man .
I cannot grumble at all! Hope you enjoyed the video :)
@@GAVINHR, Totally !
Wow! lucky you Gavin. What i don't understand is why the original owner never sent it back. I remember i wanted to buy that Air 2 when it was released, but it was a bit pricey for me. If one had to lose a DJI drone for whatever reason, can somebody who finds it buy a controller and start using it. Thanks for interesting video. 👍
No reply, just a like. Tells me you do not actually read all messages.
Sorry I actually thought I'd replied to everything, technically yes you could do that if you found a drone you could just pair it to a new controller or even the same one, for example. RC N1 controller works with the mini 2 / air 2 you could just take the one controller out with you and both drones and just pair them on site. No me neither however maybe they did return it, for example if they bought it from Amazon and returned it people can buy these "returns crates" online which will be full of a mix of faulty / working bits .. that's my suspicion, looking at the logs somebody has tried to turn it on a few times but after researching it was a common fault it seems with this drone. Sorry for the delay
@@GAVINHR : No problem, thanks. I would have thought when i fist flew my DJI Mini 2. Put in my name credentials etc and took the DJI Care Refresh they would have that on record as my drone and controller. Maybe contacting DJI and tell them where i lost it, if it would make any difference. Just a concern of mine, no i have not lost my drone. 🙂👍
Yes you will have to rebind them if you bought a second controller or anything but aside from that you would be just fine ☺️
Lol brilliant nice one. Get it in the air
I sure will do! 🙂
I'd like to buy a broken drone off eBay and make a similar video, while at the same time upgrade from the DJI Mini 2. I have my eyes set on an Air 2 S. Problem is that most vendors on eBay as way too much money for their crap (that's all you can call some of the stuff). A broken drone, especially if it's been crashed, should cost next to nothing. But so far all I'm finding is very expensive garbage.
there is a lot of stuff out there but I totally agree I am shocked at the asking price for even broken things!
Yeah, interesting video that mate. You’ve dropped on with that. Wouldn’t mind seeing a video about it, supposed to be a tasty little drone, isn’t it?
Yeah it seems it's actually really quite advanced to be fair? It's got lots of features and the obstacle avoidance and gesture control and stuff it's quite an incredible drone really!
How didu pay?? Sry if u said already
You obviously didn't deal with them through their "Official" Fakebook page!
No steve haha! I got kicked from that one for helping somebody haha
Gavin has turned into @TronicsFix lol
Hahaha! Well it all worked out in the end so I'm not complaining at a working Mavic air for £160!
Can I buy used and repaired drones? Is there a good price for me?
I think I'd like to see the drone in the air doin some video footage
I wonder if you could have paid extra and got an air 2?
I already have the air 2s anyway :)
FLY IT FLY IT FLY IT
WILL DO WILL DO WILL DO! 🙂
Maybe you could start a giveaway for it😂👀
Go fly it gav you know you want to
Hi Jim! Yes I will give it a go and record my experience!
O come on Gav, not alot of us know that Drome. A least show us what it dos. Thats alot, dirk.
maaaan, this drone in ce is awful, i had it and then i sold it, was flying it in fcc coz ce is impossible to fly at times. now i have mavic 2, mavic pro platinum and mini2 , those have muuuuch better signal
Yeah it will be a learning experience! To be fair I built this channel on getting the most out of the Mavic mini ( which was equally terrible in CE ) so I know what to expect I think haha
A little time to sort out but what a bargain....👍
Absolutely unreal eh! Very lucky in what happened and certainly a great deal. Thanks for watching
That should be thanks a lot, dirk (that me)
th-cam.com/video/inc9Hdu4R3k/w-d-xo.html
That was the follow up :)
Had one they were good drones but DJI decided to stop making the batteries
And chargers! Can't get hold of them anywhere
Ima say something mate your mic is laggy
👌👌🇵🇹
Thanks Victor!
i brought a dji mini 2 se off ebay
Was it good?
@@Bowhoe09 yeah it good
@@lonesuk awesome
You bought a faulty DJI drone from ebay? Why? These things come faulty from the manufacturer....no need to go to ebay! Absolute scam garbage these things are! Riddled with issues 😡
Bargain
This video title is very misleading! Sending it to DJI for replacement DOESN'T mean you fixing it! Pls be more honest in the title next time yeah.
Did I attempt to fix it? or did you skip that part of the video
