Erase Your Drone
You may want to erase your memory on the drone in case you have pictures that you want to keep private. Images of children and the elderly especially fall under privacy laws and it is always a good idea to wipe them clean from any device.
Clean Your Drone
There are a lot of moving parts on most drones and they can all gather dirt, dust and even bird poop! Use some cleaning spray that is meant for electronics to clean off any surfaces and a microfibre cloth for any screens. Gently scrub buttons and joysticks to get the dirt off them from different hands touching them.
Photograph Your Drone
Take lots of high-resolution pictures of your drone and all the accessories that come with it. Include videos of your drone flying as well as any videos or photos it has taken to show the quality. Make sure to capture it from every angle.
