Holy crap.   The box certainly makes it appear as if those are genuine!  That is a hell of a lot cheaper than the $680 DJI wants.   Granted, DJI site also has legs and looks like gimbal mount and motors, but most ppl only need the shell.

What ? its just the shell, and expensive too I think

$680 is for everything, the BODY, not just the shell that u can buy for$60. everything is:
the shell
the MCThe GPS
the motorsthe lights
vps module
the landing gear + the compass and antennas

basically everything minus the gimble/camera

Most accessories posted on amazon (by third parties) are overpriced.  People are gouging right now due to supply/demand.  For instance, the HDMI board is like $183+ on amazon.

While I think it is kind of expensive for just a plastic shell would be good for people who want to paint  their quad.

Yeah, it's pretty much complete. I got one after a crash left me with ESC errors, and since a new MC board was close to $500, I decided to just get a whole new body (my camera and gimbal were fine). Got one direct from DJI, and it only took 3 working days to get here. (pretty fast service, I'd say). The only thing to note is that the new body doesn't come with the foam inserts for the landing gear, the soft rubber cover for the USB port, the locking pins for the gimbal, or any decals, so don't throw out the extras that came with your original P3. It does come with the gimbal dampeners. Installed the camera and gimbal, did all the firmware upgrades to the new one, and it flies like a charm. I'm happy again.

Well that certainly explains the price!  Thanks for the correction.
