Thanks for the videos. I'm aware of the rattling props and think DJI's stance of (our engineers have concluded it's within spec) is pretty disgusting to be honest but at least that problem can be easily addressed. The other three examples of I2's spiralling out of control suddenly are more worrying and certainly look like hardware failures, you have to feel sorry for the operators who DJI seem to have abandoned. I do however wonder if a handful of failures warrants the level of scare mongering thats happening on forums. A new visitor could easily be left with the opinion that their Inspire 2 is going to crash unless they buy one of the third party fixes, which is quite hard to justify with just a handful of example failures from what, multiple thousands in use I assume?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for added peace of mind and your solution looks extremely elegant and well thought out. I just think the way the likelihood of motor mount failures is being portrayed is a little misleading.
I honestly believe the issue is a bit more widespread than reported...
Ask yourself how many people report accidents compared to people that do not (Same as how many people write reviews on, say Amazon, compared to real buyers).Also, how many people don't know what happened? Almost certainly the numbers are higher than known.
As for the rest, I lost one this way and it was not funny. I lost another one and to this day I do not know the real reason. I think the kit offers a number of advantages, such as synced position motors, probably reduced vibrations (So far so it seems) and an overall more stable flight, although we do not have scientific proof, but so far it seems more users experienced more stable flights as well.
How many dangerous accidents do people have in a car per mile compared to the number of miles driven by cars around the World? We still use seatbelts and have ABS in every car. The same can be said for a number of things. If it was for us, we would love to have stock parachutes even in the P4P or the Mavic (Complex, we know).
We honestly think the using DJI stock props and replacing them very often is a good solution, we said that a number of times, also because that's what we've been doing for a while now. We're not even bothered by the extra $$$ we need to spend for that. We just think that this kit has a number of advantages that goes well beyond the mere possible engine problem. Now we fly with more confidence, that comes natural. We love the Inspire 2, always did! , it's a gorgeous little beast.
