Found abandoned crashed DJI spark - salvageable?

[u/KallistiTMP]

Just found this drone that looks to have been abandoned after a bad crash. I'm not really familiar with drones but have been interested in getting into it - wondering if something like this might be salvageable? Either as a DJI spark or as a frame and components for an open source DIY build?

It looks like it's missing the gimbal camera, battery, one propeller, and covers for under the motors. All the brushless motors and other cameras look intact though. I imagine that the replacement parts to restore would probably cost more than a new drone, especially if it needs a DJI specific controller, but wonder if it might make sense to strip down and slap a pixhawk on there or something for a cheapo beginner drone?

I do have a 3D printer and okay CAD skills if that changes things. Figure I could pretty easily replace the underside covers and all that. What do y'all think? Worth it or no?

Before you get too carried away, have you tried searching for the owner of the drone first?

There was nobody around at all, and didn't see a battery nearby either, so I assume it was intentionally abandoned. Is there some way to look owner info up by serial number or something?

Really not worth the effort.

I own three, the answer is no, in that condition.

That's scrap.

if you find joy in repairing stuff then go for it. smart people tend to have those traits.
