The Reboot Hub Standard
How Reboot Hub identifies, inspects, grades, documents, packs, and supports the exact pre-owned DJI equipment a buyer receives. Every promise below is tied to the item and the written order—not a generic marketplace claim.
- 40
- functional checkpoints for every activated pre-owned drone
- Included
- item-specific evidence provided before dispatch
- 180 days
- listed pre-owned warranty term, subject to policy
- Exact item
- condition, configuration, packing, and tracking matched to the order
The promise behind the Standard
Trust should follow the exact item.
“A grade is useful only when the evidence, inspection, and product received all describe the same unit.”
Pre-owned equipment needs more than a lower price. It needs a clear identity, a complete functional inspection, an honest condition grade, verified package contents, and an evidence trail that stays with the buyer’s order.
This page is the buyer-facing Reboot Hub Standard. It explains what happens to activated pre-owned DJI drones and how non-activated inventory is kept in a separate status. The selected product variant, order confirmation, and linked policies control the exact configuration and transaction terms.
Status before grade
Pre-owned means activated.
Every drone listed as pre-owned is activated and receives the full 40-point functional inspection. Never-activated inventory is not pre-owned; it is identified separately and is never used as an exception to the pre-owned inspection standard.
Pre-Owned DJI Drone
Activated equipment with full functional access. It receives all 40 inspection checkpoints, an honest cosmetic grade, and item-specific evidence before dispatch.
Non-Activated DJI Drone
Never activated and not classified as pre-owned. Identity, physical condition, non-activated status, and package contents are documented; it is not represented as flight-tested.
Provided with the order
The buyer evidence package
Eligible pre-owned DJI drones receive an item-specific evidence package before dispatch. Small parts and accessories may instead show listing photos, condition notes, and model-fit information. Personal details and sensitive device identifiers may be redacted in public examples, but the buyer’s order record stays item-specific.
Actual-item condition photos
Clear views document the exterior, relevant components, and any visible wear of the unit prepared for the buyer.
Completed inspection record
The applicable checkpoints, device status, findings, and exceptions are recorded against the exact activated pre-owned unit.
Functional evidence
Power-on, calibration, camera, control, transmission, or flight evidence supports the completed inspection as appropriate to the model.
Packing record and shipment tracking
Package contents, protective packing, carrier handoff, and shipment tracking connect the inspected item to the parcel dispatched.
The evidence package is part of the Reboot Hub pre-dispatch handover. It is not an optional add-on and the buyer does not need to ask us to create it.

Activated pre-owned drones
The full 40-point inspection map
Every activated pre-owned drone receives all five categories before it is represented as inspected pre-owned inventory. Model-specific checks may be added when a platform has unique sensors, controllers, batteries, or camera hardware.
A never-activated unit is listed as non-activated—not pre-owned—and is not represented as flight-tested. This protects the meaning of the 40-point promise for every product that is actually described as pre-owned.
Written buyer coverage
Pre-owned warranty at a glance
The warranty shown on the listing and order, together with the current Warranty Policy, controls the exact coverage. This summary does not enlarge or replace those written terms.
| Order type | Listed term | What to keep | Important limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activated pre-owned equipment | 180 days | Order record, buyer evidence package, serial information, packaging, and a clear description of the fault. | New impact, crash, water ingress, unauthorized disassembly, and normal cosmetic wear are not treated as pre-existing covered faults. |
Trust needs boundaries
What this Standard does not replace
A strong standard explains which document answers which question. These boundaries keep a general trust promise from overriding the exact product, compatibility, shipping, warranty, or return terms.
The selected listing controls configuration
Bundle contents, condition, region, price, and variant-specific details come from the selected product variant and order confirmation.
Compatibility requires exact matching
Model generation, region, connector, controller, battery, accessory, and firmware must be confirmed; similar appearance is not proof.
Written policies control transaction terms
The current warranty, shipping, return, and refund policies apply to the order. This Standard explains the operational evidence behind them.
Buyer questions
Answers with direct references
Each answer links to the governing section, standard, or policy so a buyer can verify the claim without searching through the site.
Does every pre-owned drone receive the full 40-point inspection?
Yes. Every drone listed as pre-owned is activated, and every activated pre-owned drone receives the full 40-point functional inspection. Never-activated inventory is not pre-owned and is listed separately. See the 40-point inspection map.
Is a never-activated drone a pre-owned unit?
No. Non-activated inventory has not entered activated use and is not classified as pre-owned. Its listing must identify it as non-activated and must not imply that it was flight-tested. See the status and grading definitions.
What evidence will Reboot Hub provide before dispatch?
Reboot Hub provides the item-specific buyer evidence package automatically; you do not need to request it. It includes actual-item condition photos, the completed inspection record, applicable power-on or functional evidence, the packing record, and shipment tracking. See the buyer evidence standard.
How do I confirm the exact condition and package contents?
Use the selected product variant, its condition label, included-items description, actual-item evidence, and order confirmation together. The grade describes condition; the listing identifies the exact configuration being purchased. Read the grading standard.
How do I know the DJI equipment is authentic?
Reboot Hub checks product identity and serial or device information where applicable, and does not substitute appearance for authenticity evidence. Read the Authenticity Guarantee.
Who carries out the inspection?
Reboot Hub inspections are completed or supervised by personnel assigned to the relevant DJI product category, with internal responsibility recorded for the item. View Reboot Hub certifications.
What warranty applies to pre-owned equipment?
The warranty term shown on the product and order applies, subject to the current written policy and its exclusions. This Standard explains the inspection process but does not replace the policy. Read the Warranty Policy.
How will my order be packed and shipped?
The inspected item is matched to the order, protected for transit, recorded during packing, handed to the carrier, and accompanied by tracking. Read the Shipping Policy.
What if the item arrives not as described?
Keep the packaging and contact Reboot Hub promptly with the order number and clear evidence. The written return and refund terms explain the next step and applicable time limits. Read the Return & Refund Policy.
How do I confirm DJI model, controller, battery, or regional compatibility?
Compatibility is generation-, model-, region-, and sometimes firmware-specific. Confirm the exact model and included configuration before ordering rather than relying on appearance. Use the DJI comparison and compatibility guide.
