Going to purchase a DJI Phantom 4 pro drone. I'm going to buy a used one and just wondering if anyone has ideas as far as what to check?

Well obviously no one here knows much about this model.
Just for anyone that runs across this thread;
I ended up with a used DJI Phantom 4 Pro model drone. Things that need to be checked when purchasing used are
1) Evidence of crashes like cracks in body or legs, heavy scratches other than light handling.
2) There is an app that can check how many cycles a battery has had. Can also check for drones total flight time. Most sellers already have this app and info.
3) Have seller demo the drone. Make sure it functions in various modes such as object/subject tracking, return home via GPS and other commands like tap to fly...
4)Make sure the area you intend to fly is not a no fly zone due to private, state, county laws.
4) go to "before you fly" website to find out about above and other things to know before purchasing.
Don't go solely on what I have listed. Google info about models,laws...as there are many write-ups and detailed videos.
