Hi I'm buying used Mavic. What should I look for. What is the weakest pont.

user error seems to be by far the weakest point. Read the user manual (recommend more than once). beware of the wind - mavic handles well in wind to a point beyond that point it will fly away - fly safe

Have not bought it yet but will let my brother look at it after 30 min.
Do it have some error log inside like the Phantoms?

Yea when u go into app look for "go fly" as soon as your in u will be able to see a menu with all systems just scroll up and down look for error. Look for scratches on lense how clean he kept mavic. Make sure gimbal is in working order. While holding it move the aircraft around. Also check battery cells while in app make sure cells look good. This of course if u are meeting the  guy and can check all these. Eitger way go over it good at first

It looks like new and it's flay more combo which I get with - $500 from new so its worth it.

The main thing with any new quad is to fly somewere where there's no trees, cars, buildings or people and don't take any chances!!

Thanks for the info. I have bought the Mavic and will get it after few days. Next is to sell one of my my P3S.

Cool have fun man. I recently purchased mine met the guy he was kind of local checked everything over was not even activated. He wanted to start the mavic with the gimbal guard on I told him it's okay I'll do it lol anyway u could tell he just was not into drones he got it as a gift so basically it was brand new all stickers still on no charges on battery snagged it for 700$. I thought it was a good deal

Nice! Have fun!

You might want to check the flight record it will give you an idea on how many flights it had and the total distance flown.

It had about 10 flight on it and looks like new from the box. Just need update, but that will wait til after test. Want to test it as it came new.
Is there some fw better than other on Mavic, or just the newest one?
My flight area today.
