New M3 - Scratches on the legs? Minor design flaw?

[Jhun80]

I just used it once, folded unfolded for a couple of times then noticed scratches already. Does your mavic 3 have this too?

Swing the arms through their full range of movement as see if you can see anything that would cause a mark of that "J" shape, I'd have thought a rub scratch would be a straight line or multilpe straight lines.
Are you sure it's not some dribble of something that has been rubbed?

I just checked mine and I am rough with it, but nothing like that at all on any of the legs.

Wondering if you flew thru some stones or sand that got caught up in there from the Wind.

I flew it from a concrete parking.

Yeah it's from swinging the arms, and it rubbed against the body and there was no dirt or anything on it. Planning to rub a high grit sand paper on the legs

Ah, I might see a ridge on what is the top side of the arms when they are in their flying positions. Would that be correct?
Are the white marks actually scratches or some form of surface contamination e.g a powder or dust?

 

[millbah]

Haven't had that problem. Looks like some form of dribbling, or moisture effect.

Slight j shaped mark on the body section on mine, but no rub marks on the arms. The j shape mark I will assume is normal.

I just realized it came from here when i closed and opened it, i just wiped it with alcohol and cloth, it's like powdery mark thingy...

 

[Yorkshire_Pud]

With you saying it's powdery, I would watch for a reappearance, it might be a vibration wear thing.

 

[Starz]

Must be a designed wear point.

Just checked mine. The J marks are the “stop” points when the arm is opened
I imagine there would be micro vibration here, but this would be part of the design and accounted for
