my bird is coming up 200 flights now and I remember reading DJI recommend replacing props at this point. My question is what else needs attention at the time, eg gimbal bands or battery etc. would appreciate advice for others on what needs to be looked at about this time please?

Thank you in advance

I use Airdata.com. It keeps track of how many times and how far you've flown, how many times your batteries have been charged and a bunch of other stuff. Then they recommend what maintenance steps you should take based on that data.  If you have only one drone, they offer a free account. Then there's several other levels depending on how many drones and how many flights you want to be able to access in the future. Once you reach your plan limits, the oldest flight is archive when you add a new one.

I had read this, but found it lacking. It seemed more to do with battery temperature and storage than maintenance.  But thank you for the link.

Good idea thanks, I guess  checkarms for tightness  and cables for wear also fits that as well.

ya know really Mavic Pro and other variants you need to just make sure it looks just like new. That is how it is done. No big secret just make sure it looks brand spanking new when you go to flying it. Easy peasy lol If it doesn't look like new then it needs new parts and replace them.
