With any relatively modern flight controller & firmware you can slap 4 motors onto pretty much anything relatively rigid & it'll fly okay with zero tuning. Picrelated flew fine on an old naze32 rev5 running an ancient version of cleanflight on stock PIDs. I only came into this hobby ~1 year ago, so I never knew the pain of not having MEMS gyros etc. & I honestly feel a bit spoiled with how well anything I build flies considering how unbalanced a lot of it actually is.

If we're talking reconditioned by DJI or a reputable third party then I'd have no qualms, but I'd avoid random 'factory reconditioned' units from individual ebay/amazon sellers. Make sure you get a warranty, etc.

I didn't weigh the frame itself, but the whole build (without battery) is just shy of 300g so the frame certainly isn't 'heavy'. The screws are surplus to requirement now & could be removed to save a few grams, but I like the a e s t h e t i c.
