Hey guys I’m selling my drone and want to know what steps to take before selling it in terms of possibly resetting it or wiping it.

I do not want to affect anything that will make the drone not work and I would like for the new buyer to have a pleasant experience.

What should I do before sending it to the new owner?

Discharge the batteries to 50%. Format the micro SD card. Reset to factory settings in assistant 2 and reinstall the FW to the latest version. Ensure that there are no faults or even slightly damaged props. Ensure it is well packaged and sent with insurance. Don't ship it until you have the money...

You can refresh the firmware using the app but the point is to reset the factory settings first which can only be done using Assistant 2 then update the FW. It's pointless just updating the existing firmware. TBH it really doesn't make any difference as long as the micro SD is formatted but resetting to factory settings will wipe the drone back to the day you unboxed it. If you don't have assistant 2/macbook then just pack it up.
