I purchased a solo a few weeks ago, Rev B. I purchased one last week, Rev A. The most recent one was originally intended for the UK because it had UK and USA wall plugs.
I got in early. I ordered mine right when the sale started; saw the deal on another shopping forum, so my order processed real fast on Friday.
I received the Solo and 3DR backpack today. The "original sale package" accessories haven't shipped yet. I think my 2 packages made the last UPS truck before the Friday afternoon Sabboth shutdown at B&H.
Pictures may follow, but the Solo shipped in the brown outer box. It was retapped with clear tape, and the serial number sticker on the brown box was covered with another bar code sticker. So I thought Oh Oh, here comes a refurb or return.
The inner Solo box was retaped with the round stickers on the two tabs. After opening it, the black Solo carry container had the strap this time, unlike the missing strap from the one I received from Amazon earlier this month.
Three reactions when I opened it:
1) there was a battery charger power cable loose under motor pod 4 and
2) there was a controller charger cable on top of one of the accessory boxes and
3) the motors had the paper covers wrapped
around the motor on the outside, unike my original from last year, where there was a round cover
on top of the motor. There is no plactic on top of the motor pods. Oh Oh - again.
The accessory boxes were sealed well, unlike the Amazon one from earlier this month (those stickers barely held on).
The controller looked new, but had some marks on the underside.
Once I opened the two accessory boxes I remembered the post from @
Perspective - UK power plugs and US power plugs. Yes indeed, I received the export version of Solo. Each accessory box contained the UK wall plug for the battery charger and the controller.
So if I ever fly in the UK, I will have not have to buy and adapter!
I just wonder what TX and RX frequency is defaulted on the controller - US or EU?
The battery is the second generation (with the Chinese writing), just like the one's Amazon was selling earlier this month.
GPS is green board - Rev A. But I'm changing it anyway.
Sorry, I haven't tested it out yet.
The last 4 digits of the serial number ends in a number lower than 3000.
Seems like new. Hope the accessory package is what was stated at my time of order.
Long live Solo!
