I was pleased to see that DJI has re-evaluated their packaging.
The old Fly More had retail boxes for *everything* and made for a large package.
The MPP fly more on the other hand is a single box with everything sans packaging.
All the manuals are bundled together. The Mavic bag is used to contain the remote and both chargers.
An odd thing was the MPP had only 2 platinum rotors installed on the rear arms - so underneath. Inside the front pocket of the bag there was a cardboard sleeve with the remaining rotors all lined up in opposing order. Under the MPP were the two extra batteries. I think they may have removed the top rotors to avoid marring the body with the paint from the rotor tips. I noticed my MP had gold rub marks on the battery and top sides after a few days in the backpack. As many people have noted the clearance is less with the new rotors and they will rub when folded against the body. So if you're **** about marks you'll want to remove the front rotors when putting away.
Right off the bat it swears it needs a firmware upgrade - it came with 1.40. So I have to charge the remote and I used one of the MP batteries to run an upgrade. WTH? It showed the same version afterwards. No idea what that was all about. By this time it was dark out but surprisingly it said it had a GPS lock right there in my bedroom. So I fired it up. A vastly different sound than the MP running the new props. A low moan while it sat there. It was very stable as I raised it up to about 4 feet and steered around the room. My wife even remarked at how much quieter it was and the dog seemed ok with it. That's significant because he *hates* the MP and tries to eat it when it flies over.
The gimbal seemed much more stable to me - my old MP used to flail about smacking into the frame on initialization. The little song it plays seems a little rougher in tone and a little off on some notes. LOL - just reporting what I observed.
Lemme tell you what - it worked a wonder to stir up the cat fur - I told my wife she needed to check the vacuum cleaner for proper operation.
No rain today so I'll get to take her out on a real flight when I get home.
