I noticed today... Never paid much attention to it. After 270 flights... I just swapped the props for some new ones I had since I bought the Inspire 1 v2. The locks weren't holding down the props firm. I noticed the red prop locks had a lot of play even when locked down. One white lock had slight play. Put the new props on, everything seems solid. One thing I noticed... The 2 red prop locks seem to have slight play when you lock them down. When I hold the motor and turn the prop the opposite way, I see the prop move very slightly while locked down. I assume this is normal? Maybe when brake is applied the 2 red prop locks have room to shift itself so it's able to apply brake? That's my theory. What you all think?

Cabralkev, is that convenient to upload a short video about the loose propeller? We will help to confirm if it's normal or not.
Is there is any rattling sound when you spin up the propellers manually? Which Mounting Plate do you use?

I'm unable to show a video at the moment. It's the latest prop locking system for the Inspire 1 v2. It's the quick release one. The 2 red prop locking is what I am talking about. It has a slight play when holding the motor and moving the prop. It's nothing serious. I've heard a lot of people having this too. My old props were just worn out after 270 flights. The play was bad...

These are the props I have. It's the stock one that came with my Inspire 1 v2.0 https://m.dji.com/product/inspire-1345t-quick-release-propellers. The prop locking system is also seen in the pictures to the product.

Mindy I found a video to show what I'm experiencing. It seems it's a common issue with the red props. Here's the video
I have the 1345T prop locking system.

Cabralkev, we suggest to send in the drone for maintenance for safety flight at your most convenience.

Here's a video I recorded. What do you think Mindy? I doubt I should send the whole aircraft to you guys to repair it. It's a prop issue. I tried the crazy glue under the prop mounts and sanded it down until it fit. The first time it fit real tight which I thought it was good. Until I tried to unlock the props. It was so tight it took a lot of effort to remove it. Now it's out so that's good. I threw the old props out that I modified because it was old. These new props I am using, still have that slight play when it's locked. What can I do.

Another video I recorded. Showing the red props having slight play in them.

Loose props are not that way to facilitate braking. They are loose because of poor manufacturing tolerances.

There's tolerance for the mould but won't cause risk for the flight. We'd suggest you to replace the 1345T propeller base into 1345LS for better flight experience.
