2 x DJI Air 2 batteries
1 x DJI Air 2 controller
1 x 12v car charger
1 x 3-battery charging hub + ac adapter
1 x set of ND and other filters for DJI Air 2

Just no DJI Air 2 drone. Drone took me literally when I took it out for its last flight.

Not sure I understand the last sentence. Sounds like maybe you decided to see if you could hit it with an arrow, and sure enough you could?

Lol. Then I’d still have a drone to give away.

Nah, I figured I’d fly it a bit on the same river as its first fight before stuffing it in a closet and uninsuring it. I was letting it hover and no sooner had I said the words “I’m not worried about losing it because I’ve flown it dozens of times here, and its insured” then it skipped itself off the water once, climbed to about 15’ and then powered straight down into the water.

Wow, I watched a duplicate of that about five years ago. I had jogged to a nearby park with a lily pond in the middle. A guy comes along, opened a brand-new drone box on a picnic table, and then sent it into the air over the pond, where the drone promptly augered into it

It’s weird. I’ve flown this drone over lakes, ponds, saltwater, rivers, and never had that problem. Only thing I can think of is that this one time reflections convinced it it was rapidly ascending and it needed to descend to get back to hover. Sensor confusion + faulty logic.

Thank goodness for insurance. $50 deductible gets me a new equivalent (DJI Air 3s, apparently) which has lidar and much better sensors. Shouldn’t have a repeat issue.
 
Ohhhhh! I have a DJI Air 2 and would be willing to take these off your hands. Will pay for shipping, just let me know how much and how you want payment. (y)(y)
