Hello, im using my P3P for 5 months now. It works flawlessy for me. But when i take a closer look at my Phantom screws, they hav some brown color on it. And when i take a look in the gimbal motor, they hav some rust. Is this normal for P3P, FYI i've nvr fly it in the sea. And where i live is not near the sea.
I always store my phantom with some Silica Gel in the Original DJI Hardcase Backpack. To make sure no moisture get into it.
Any help will be appriciated...

If you live in Indonesia, which is right on the Equator, the humidity level would be extremely high, this would cause rust to form.

I see... Okay i will always change the Silica Gel. At least tried to get rid of moisture in my phantom backpack.
Im asking to my friends also, some of them also hav the same problem.
DJI should use coated screw, what a shame my $1000 camera's screws are rusting.
All my Canon DSLR never has rusting screw. DJI should solve this issue.

Yes, I agree, they should use nickel plated or stainless steel.
