Few pilots flying still very capable Inspire 1 aircaft may notice newer version of propeller mounts, mimicking the features of Inspire 2 mounts. The inserts are identical to old version, only clamping mechanism is improved. However, somehow DJI was able to recreate infamous and notorious I2 red props play (!) ... Supplied foam cushions may eliminate the rattle for a while, but props remains loose at the base. To erradicate this annoyance once and forever, I have a few CNC machined metal shims to distribute among fellow pilots. PM me with mailing co-ordinates, if interested ... Differently shaped shims for Inspire 2 props are available as well, although the issue seems to be eradicated by DJI at this moment.

Thank you. I would also be interested in these. I added cyano to the centre mounts which seemed to help a bit. Not ideal though.

On a side note and off topic. Interesting avatar!
I kayaked down the Yukon river back in 1986. I remember seeing a vessel Very similar to yours. Didn’t gets chance to chat with them but was impressed with how comfy they looked.

Yep, it's my summer escape vessel, literally an floatable RV with 1KW solar plant on the roof ...

Outstanding!!!
My wife is leaning over back of my chair looking, “heavenly “

Looks like a nice way - and, nice place to escape (fill in the words).

Having your own power sure is a good feeling heh.

Thank you. I'm not sure if all new Inspire 1 mounts are exhibiting the same loose fit on red props. What is almost funny in this case is how did they managed to replicate the issue plaguing early batches of Inspire 2 props. I guess it's not that relevant since Inspire 1 platform is slowly fading into retirement stage of life ...
