I never looked at the 1 star reviews until after i saw this post. It also prompted me to write the review.I think I just read your review on Amazon.
Amazon sold me fake "Genuine DJI" props. Warning.

Ah, crap.
I just installed an Amazon set, came in dji bag, looked official.
No plastic wrap on hubs.
Has gold stripes on tips.
Flew it last night, seemed ok.
I'll take a closer look when i get home.
Compare to originals, look for factory stamp....

THEY ARE LEGIT. DO NOT SEND THEM BACK OR LEAVE A BAD REVIEW. I just finished chatting with DJI support who verified with sales that they sold props without the logo and that Amazon only sells genuine DJI props. I sent this a link to this post to the rep. He is escalating it to see if someone will officially address the concerns expressed on this post. No, I do not work for Amazon. Like many of you, I was concerned when I discovered the props were thinner and did not have the logo but I had to use them. I like them much better than DJI's old props because they are much quieter. I feel they should have used a different model number on the props because of the changes. Here is the final part of our chat:
- I just checked Amazon. I bought them there.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010U0JHXU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Like I said, It's been a while

This is what made me think to check with you......http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/amazon-sold-me-fake-genuine-dji-props-warning.112275/ - 22:05

seems like this is a legit dji p3 propellers -
Francis
you can compare it with the one we have on our official web store -
Francis
http://store.dji.com/product/phantom-3-9450-propellers - 22:06
-
Does the one from the web store have DJI molded onto it? -
Francis
yes - 22:08
-
Then this is different - 22:09
-
Though if DJI changed to a prop that does not have DJI molded onto it the store wouldn't necessarily replace the photograph -
Francis
Let me clarify it with our sales -
Francis
can you hold for a minute or 2? -
Yes - 22:16

I just looked closer at the prop. another differece is that the black hubbed prop reads, 9450CW. The previous DJI props just read, 940 -
the previous DJI props just read, 9450. - 22:18

I posted too much of my chat with DJI. The end was truncated off. Now I can't find the chat window since I closed it. Francis has the link to the post. he will escalate the link. Hopefully someone from DJI will address the issue on this post.

I already sent them back. Whatever DJI did, they need to go back to the old ones. These new ones are junk.
He did say that DJI sold "some" without the logo. That makes me think they fixed the issue with the logo however my experience with the quality is polar opposite of yours. The balance on mine were spot on. Because they are thinner does not make them junk if they are properly engineered. I expect they reduced the mass in the props to reduce prop drag and noise.

I have to agree with your assessment of the props you received. I would would call them junk if mine had flashing on them, too.

My Amazon props, with gold stripes, came in legit dji bags, had the dji logo molded in, and perform flawlessly.
Im keeping them as good and legit.
But thanks for the heads up, and watching our backs.

You know what? After reading this again.... I am still not convinced. It really sounded like that the chat person had no clue what you were talking about. This is not the first time DJI chat has been wrong about something. There are MANY stories on here with them giving out misinformation. He was using words like "Seems like" and "looks like". That doesn't convey confidence to me. Also, the ones in the pic Amazon shows have DJI on them. The ones you receive do not.
"Seems like". "Looks like" are my words. Not DJI's. It is true he did not know anything about the issue. After reading this thread he contacted someone from Sales. They told him that "some" were sold without the logo.
and some other poor guy is going to buy a dead battery from best Buy! Thanks a lot

And that's probably gonna be me,,,,
Sir, you committed FRAUD, if you were my friend and told me this story you would be an ex friend. I can't comprehend how people like you think this is ok. I've seen this on other forums where others have done the same. How do you justify that this is a good thing to do. Would you teach you children it's ok to steal from a company.
I would hope you are banned from this site for the theft you committed.
