Worrying build quality...

I saw this story on a FB group and wanted to share..

Not very happy about this. The braiding on both sides of the forward foldable arms is already either worn, damaged, or not wound properly. And when I say "already" I mean it came out of the box that way.

I am not going to send it back because who knows how long until I get another one. But I did file a complaint with DJI to get a note on my account in case there are issues in the future. It is right at the spot where the braiding rubs the plastic every time you open and close the arms.

That's the area which some of us were concerned about in the design but they claim it will be fine for 1000s of flights.

Think they missed the decimal point, 10.00s of flights

That's how braided cables work to protect the connection cable running inside. Judging from the picture it's perfectly fine IMO. Even though it's a repetitive movement, the radius is small and should not compromise the cable integrity. I'm sure it will last a lot, no worries.
