I have an Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition.  Just got my new upgraded prop retainers and BOTH Red props rattle terribly and are super loose.  White props are perfectly snug.  I've tried swapping the Red props to each motor and even tried the 2nd set that came with the I1 that I've never used and they rattle too.  Thought I had torqued my base plate too tight so I pulled all of the new clips off and re-seated them to be sure.  Same issue.  I did notice that when removing the original prop clips that one side (CCW I think) had a silver metal ring that fit into the plastic parts, and one had a black colored metal ring (CW Red again I think).

I don't feel that my I1 is flyable at this point.  DJI - what do I have to do to get this resolved please?

Hi Ahmed,

You are ingenious to tackle the problem in this way as shown in your video. The only shortfall to me is the need to loosen and re-tighten the mount's screws when it's time for you to replace those shims when they wear out.

I tackle the problem in different way using vinyl tape. Please see my post here.

Happy flying

Henry

Good morning to everyone
I find that a big piece duct tape on the engine
This can affect negative way
Example - small vibrations
The lack of engine balance

In my case
I bought three pairs of 1345ls Quick Release Propeller Mounting Plates The problem was in part that in addition to the red and the screw
This is another idea I've use
As in the picture ( Because I do not want to add any overload on the engine )

Dear henry

dji is not small company and dji is big name in market .

Hi Ahmed,

You meant you used the white turning buckle at the red mounting plate to lock the red prop (CW)?

Would like to know the white & red turning buckles are interchangeable.
