I picked up a Phantom 4 last week for dirt cheap ($200 with 4 batteries and a club case rolling carry-on). The deal was too good to be true so I did some digging around and found some memory cards in the case. I went through the videos, got a screengrab of one of the only faces without sunglasses and found the owner of the drone through some reverse lookup catfish sites. Reached out to him to see if it was stolen from him. He responded 3 days later thanking me for making the effort and said I can keep the drone - he is backpacking across Europe and doesn't want the extra baggage. He has since dealt with the Perp (who was sadly a family member of his).
I just tested it out and it flies beautifully. Tried to update the firmware from 01.02.0602 and it kept failing -- then I read a FW Update thread and am grateful that it did not work!!! Going to stick with the current firmware and airplane mode my phone that I use strictly for DJI products.
Question about the landing. I noticed it was a little rough on the landing (bounces up and down before hitting the ground harder than I am accustomed to). Think there may be something wrong with the bottom sensors?
