This "refurbished" drone does not act like a refurbished item! It runs great, it moves how you want it to move. The picture quality is okay, but the video quality is amazing! Everything works great, the battery does get hot when it does its updates but other than that its awesome.

This is my 4th drone and by far the best. It’s small, high quality video, obstacle avoidance, and comes with a controller with a huge screen. I’ve had to use my phone in the past and while it worked, it left me without a phone while I used it. I am familiar with DJI controls and response time to controls so I picked it up pretty quickly. I would say this is a good drone for beginners because of the obstacle avoidance. Battery life lasts me long enough for what I need but I can see myself purchase additional batteries down the line. Did I mention that the video quality is excellent?

So I was worried a lil bit after seeing pictures of drones showing up in zip lock bags so far I’m impressed mine looks brand spanking new not one scratch at all anywhere now to charge and see about getting previous owner account erased if it’s still on my drone I will add more reviews later

Great drone for the price. Wont let you hit anything and the built in screen on the controller is a must. I use for work for the last 2.5 years and has been great.

they sell used things without checking the products, it arrived without a battery and with a blow and without a set of propellers because I suppose the other one was destroyed when they hit it, a very bad job of an alleged inspection of the product, bad job on refurbished.

This mini 3 pro drone came in the original box and looks brand new. Everything works as it should and the drone flys great. I would by refurbished again the next time I’m shopping at Best Buy.

The drone I got sounded like it was going to break at any second. The flight was perfect, the gimbal on the other hand made constant loud motor sounds that made it seem like it was going to break. The risk was not worth it for me since I returned it the same day I recieved it. It seems like with refurbished drones, 30% of them turn out to be fine but the other 70% have a defect too big to ignore.

Product arrived quick and was like new. Only reason got holding back a star was the drone was still bound to someone else’s account. I contacted DJI and proved ownership and the fixed it

I have a DJI Air2 and was looking for a mini. I think DJI makes a superior product. I'm on the waiting list for a refurbished M4P at DJI and then I saw this available on BB. Reading reviews of refurbished DJI drones from BB was hit and miss. A lot of complaints of drones still registered to the previous owner but the price was too good to pass up so I took the chance. What I got looked to be a new, never used DJI M3P! Not a scratch on it. Nothing came with it except the props and screwdriver. I ran it through the paces for DJI care and it passed. So I ended up with a NEW DJI M3P and 2 years of DJI Care for under $400! Wow. If I ever get my M4P from DJI, this one will go to the grandkids

Bought this CERTIFIED refurbished Mini 3 for my son for christmas. Everything was nice Until we flew the first time. Took it in the air, and within 5 minutes, it was looking unstable and the camera did not function properly. We got an error code and immediately brought it down. Said gunble needed to be calibrated. No big deal, so we went through the steps, and it just started making clicking noises, and the camera was going crazy. I took a closer loo, and the camera was inly attached to one side of the drone. The other side was completely unattached. Happy Best buy gave me a full refund.

Best Buy is Listening to the Negative Reviews

Got one of the good ones in near mint shape and I love it. AND I think that Best Buy has been reading these reviews as my drone came with a Geek Squad email address that had no ties to any accounts and I had no issues registering it with DJI. Probably the only negative thing is that since it a return and had initially been registered a month or so before I bought it, I have to complete and online form and test video to be able to get DJI Care Refresh coverage. Not a big hassle considering I saved a lot of cash with the discount and using my stash of BB reward certificates.

This drone is amazing!!! I definitely recommend the pro model over the others. The added features are a big bonus. I bought a refurbished model and was nervous there could be come complications but the unit I was sent is pretty much a brand new product with no signs of use.

I read all the negitive reviews on here about the risk of getting a renewed Mini 3 pro from Geek Squad and decided the savings was worth the risk and i have to say it was. The drone i got looked brand new. Not a scratch dent ding or even a smudge of dirt on the thing. It even had the tape and plastic on the camera that protects it until someone buys it. And it wasnt bound to another account either. So glad i took a chance on it and id for sure do it again.
