Mavic Air White Stuff

[-MavicMiniPilot]

This drone had had zero accidents in the past and is new. What is this stuff? It appears when opening and closing the arms.

Is there a corresponding patch on any contact point on the drone's shell?
If so is there any play in the arm's pivot?

Nope, it is also on the other side.

Vibration between parts sand down the plastic basically, when it's flying that part is touching the other plastic part, it happens on all drones to some degree, some even crack.

Nothing to worry about, not even in the long term as degradation is minimal, and you are probably not going to fly enough hours for it to be a problem.

Thanks, I’ve shared this theory before on this forum and everyone lost their minds! Thanks for the reply.

You stated that it had zero accidents in the past, implying that is it has been flown so it wouldn't be new. So, when did you purchase it and how many flights already?

Just got it back from being fixed from dji. Brand new. I had sent it back for an issue that didn’t involve a crash but I noticed that before. I’ve never crashed a Mavic air.

Normal plastic wear point residue.
