I am thinking about buying a refurbished Mavic Pro. Is there ANY benefit to buying it new?

Hi. Thank you for choosing DJI as your next Drone. DJI Refurbished is as good as new for a lesser price. Some of the benefits of new Drone applies to DJI Refurbished Drone like warranty and you can also get the DJI care for those refurbished Drones.

i heard good things about buying refurbished form dji, im planning on doing this with my next Dji product.

same warranty, some coverage, basically everything you see and interact with will feel and look new, be no signs that ever touched before you.

Mine is a refurbished and all of the miles you seen in my sig are from my mavic pro refurbished.  Equates to more than 1600 miles and no issues.

Then I found out that it was not the drone for me, temperature tolerance, screen, and a few more things....

I had thought: Why spend much more for a drone that can do way less (MP). Now it turns out that there is a good reason for the price difference....

In some cases, referbished items can for the most part, preform as good or better than a new one because they have received special attention to resolve any issues.  If DJI offers the same warrenty for a referbished unit at a reduced price, I don't see how you can go wrong.  Either way, it's your call.  Just my opinion.

you have mentioned that a while ago SB, you definitely made my mind about refurbished MP, if I would have known that before  I bought a new one I would have bought a refurbished MP.

Other than simply knowing nobody else has flown before it I'd so no added benefit.
