I got a shipping notice from Szechwan. Mine started at 1. It went to 2, 3, 4 and up from there. I can pull batteries, swap memory cards, smash it into trees, replace cameras and the wifi transmitter - it's never skipped a number. That counter is deep inside the drone's brain somewhere. If yours isn't starting at 1 - it's used.
Looks like we need to dig deeper into this because I sure as **** didn't plunk out my $$ for a refurbished pos!
Where do you think all these used parts would be coming from? It is more hassle than its worth to open up an old Drone, extract its parts and put it in a new one. I just don't buy that at all. There is something else going on here...it could even be some kind of testing on the factory line.....
As I said, mine has a serial starting with a new range that nobody else has reported yet..and it still started at 97
