I live in Central America and have found a guy selling his DJI Mavic for less than half the price of new (they are expensive down here ... about 30% more than in the US).
Problem is he says he flew in light rain for a short time (just enough to get it back to him, so a few minutes supposedly).
He says everything works, except the GPS. He took it to local DJI repair shop who said the IMU needs calibration, which will cost a few hundred dollars. He says he doesn't have the cash, hence his reason to sell it.
Am I crazy to consider buying this? Never had a drone, though am part time camera guy and know a little about electronics.
Thanks!
