Hey guys, brand new owner of a 4K. Just signed up to the forum too. I hope to get a ton of info here...
I am on my second unit as well. Both from b and h...
The first unit, bought Black Friday, was missing the neck strap and the orings on all motors. When I unboxed the bird I noticed the yellow tape securing the gimbal to the holder was torn.
I called yuneec and they sent me orings and the neck strap. While on the phone I was told to ensure I did a firmware update. During that update it failed and bird died with blue red flash on belly light. Was told to return it.
Second unit arrived today... Box had factory tape cut and retaped at center only with clear tape. Yellow gimbal tape torn too. Tweezers now missing but neck strap present. This unit only came with one gimbal to usb cable present instead of two on first unit. Uv filter was installed with plastic sticker cover installed. Another filter appears to be in a plastic bag with cleaning cloth, previous unit secondary filter came in white protector sleeve inside plastic bag with cleaner cloth.
The bird seems to be in good shape and the controller still has the screen cover plastic with no bubbles. I am concerned about the open outer box and missing items and torn tapes... Thoughts?
Before I attempt to update firmware on this new bird, I want to at least fly it once. Just in case the update dumps again...
Btw, BnH had a great deal of $1049 with a free 64gig card and free wizard wand. Not sure anything could come close.
