Hi guys,

Just purchased a new DJI Mavic Air Fly More bundle from Amazon (shipped and sold by them) and upon checking the internal storage there's a video recorded, dated 2 weeks prior to purchase date. It's short, about 15 secs, in the boot of a car.

Does this mean that it belonged to someone else who may have returned it, or was it part of some DJI tests and they forgot to delete it?

Thanks!

I wouldn’t have taught so but might be worth checking with dji.

Contact support@dji.com I have seen this coming up before on this forum but it was resolved and apparently it was all very innocent, if your aircraft camera was tested in some way then they should be able to explain , I believe if all stickers were in place and appearance is new then you don’t need to worry, I think you should save the video and keep it for proof , support may ask you to see it.
I would fly your aircraft as normal and not worry about it.

I would have thought a big give away would be if it said that when first setting up the drone the 12 months warranty starts,as if it didn’t then that would suggest it had previously been set up/activated.

Thank you both - I've just sent DJI an email.

Bigguns, I activated it myself as a new product so that's why I wasn't worried. The S/N also got accepted for DJI Refresh with no problems. However, surely returns that are then re-sold may still act this same way? I am not sure how DJI handles returns.

Overall the drone definitely looked new with all the stickers, etc.. I would just be annoyed if it is a returned product since I was sold it as a 'new' product.
