Halo Drone Pro 4K Camera/Video Recording – Brand New in Backpack

This is a brand-new Halo Drone Pro that I purchased, intending to take it on a cross-country driving trip.  However, when it arrived, I opened the backpack, and it looked considerably more complicated than I could use.  I had no experience with drones, and this one looked way more complicated than I wanted to tackle.  So, I placed it in climate-controlled, no-smoking storage.  So, although it is brand new and has never been used, it has been in storage since early 2018. 

The drone has never been removed from the backpack it came in.  I did not wish to disturb the shrink wrap plastic on the drone, so I’ve never removed anything from the backpack other than the printed manuals and the propellers, which you can see are enclosed in sealed plastic bags. 

Please note that this package includes two drone batteries.  When I ordered the drone, I also ordered a second spare battery.  These are the CB-1 Smart Flight Batteries with 6000mAh.  I have never attempted to charge these batteries, so I cannot verify that all drone parts work or that the two batteries will hold a charge.  The second battery is shown in one of the photos encased in protective Styrofoam.  The first battery is in the backpack.      

The dimensions of the backpack are: 12.5 inches wide, 19 inches long, and 7.5 inches deep.  The backpack, fully loaded (but not including the extra battery), weighs about 10 pounds. 

One of the photos includes the “Camera Specifications,” including the video resolution of the recordings and the camera display specs. The video format is MP4, and the video compression is H.265 and H.264.  WiFi is supported.
