welcome the new member of the family. Just opened the box a few hours ago.

Mine arrived this afternoon as well.

Was your Adorama box packaging as bad as mine?

Probably repackaged at Customs.

This was shipped directly from Adorama's warehouse in TN, with Adorama tape and Adorama packing pillows, so it would have no reason to go through Customs between TN and CA. Any Customs repackaging would have taken place on it before Adorama shipped it to me, during mass shipping from DJI Canada of a plethora of Creator Combos to Adorama. DJI box inside was still factory sealed.

I'm very happy for you. Enjoy.
I already am and I will be. All the notes on the cardboard etc. are already irrelevant. The only thing that bothers me will be the input in a new laptop, graphics card or just a player that will play H.265 6K 60FPS smoothly like for M3P, where we can encode with H.264.
Very happy!!!

Wow Bud- 9 drones!!! I have two and don't have time for more than one.

Congratulations.

Mine is still sitting in customs in a warehouse in Louisville, KY where it's been since the 13th. DJI support has stopped responding to my requests so short of spending another $4500 to attempt to buy a different one I'm just hanging out to dry.

Where did you order yours from? Was this a Mavic 4 Pro?

No..mine was in good shape with bubble wrap all around it and the box itself (outer) was also in good shape.

Yes, it came from DJI out of Canada to the US.

My wife asked how many I've flown in the last two months. The answer was 5 of them. I fly my old Avata2 in dicey situations where I'm a bit worried I might kill it. Same with my older Mav3 but now I may sell the Mav 3 and use my Mav3 Pro for "dicey situations" which could be flying in 40mph wind or snowy conditions or something like that. I did some flying through kids playground toys and used the older Avata for that since I was trying to move through it as quickly as possible. The only drone I really don't use much at all anymore is the FPV and the old Phantom 2 Vision. I was shocked to see the batteries on the Phantom were still working and ¾ charged!! It's been a few years. I'm planning on resurrecting it and flying it just for fun. It has a range of something like 300m if I recall.
