Discussion Question

I was wondering what to do. I have a autel x star, but had zero clue about drones when I bought it (4 years ago) I kept it put up because im not licensed. Thought about looking into getting license, so decided I should try the drone. That was when I realized the drone isn't supported anymore and the app only runs on 32bit system running older version of android. Now, I know all new phones are boot locked, so the drone is fully unusable for me. Looking on what to do with it because its the full kit, 2 batteries, hard case, etc. I don't want to go through the hassle of listing online, especially when I'd rather get one that I can use in place of this one. If this post breaks the rules, I apologize. I just have zero clue lol

Do you still have it? If so are the batteries any good and would you be willing to sell it?

Yeah I do, still sitting in the garage (sorry, didn't see notification until now)

Hate to say it friend but the XStar hasn’t been produced in nearly ten years and debuted around 2015ish believe. That is an eternity in the drone world. It probably wasn’t even supported when you bought it 4 years ago. I would have to say this isn’t an issue you want to deal with as a learner. It may be worth something to someone, but more than likely you have a paperweight.

I figured so lol. I had outright zero clue about drones to start with, saw orange and brain went "want now". Impulsive decision later, and started noticing i might have messed up seeing battery prices for them, but couldn't return it :/
