I just received my inpire. I contacted my reseller since I did not see any prop locks in my box.
this is what they had to say:

"the unit you have is a second release that does not require prop locks. You can confirmed that by contacting **** at DJI, 818.235.0789 option 3, then option 5. DJI will also confirm that what you received is new by the serial numbers. If you fell more secure with the prop locks I can send a set no charge. "

Can someone confirm this? This sound like BS to me.

I receive all the service bulletins and I don't remember seeing this.  I have emailed DJI LA for their response.  It would be nice to know where he got that and when.

I received the same response from my vendor, and have seen one other reference on the forum, but no objective evidence. I did notice that  the props don't spin on/off easily.

I am testing the E800 prop lock system which works like a child or adult proof medicine bottle top.  Push down and 1/8th of a turn on and the same to remove.  It is my understanding that this will be the final solution either as a user installed accessory or a factory replacement.  That part is not clear right now.  I am making no promises on the part of DJI do don't go out and say that Tahoe Ed says......  Not true.  We have to wait for the full test and then see what DJI decides to do.

If you are currently getting Inspires then they should be including the prop locks. Anyone that says otherwise is mis-informed.

What is the date on the outside of the shipping carton?

Hmm this is the first I heard about this not needing any prop locks I will wait to hear when Tahoe Ed chimes in

I think its BS. Mine literally has a build date of Feb 1st and a ship date of Feb 2nd and arrive through calgary on the 6th and on to my residence this morning. And it came with the prop locks int he box.  So unless you got yours AFTER those dates, I don't see how your supplier can be correct? No matter what, keep that communication in case something goes wrong so your supplier is on the spot for replacement (in the very least)

Mine just got shipped out of Calgary today as well but wont be delivered to me until later this week, did you buy from multirotor heli?  Could you tell me what type of carbon fibre they used in this shipment?  Thanks

I have lost all trust on this re-seller and with all that has happened this is going back for a full refund.

Could you tell me what type of carbon fibre they used in this shipment?

its the textured/camo on mine and yes from Multirotorheli. He received the shipment on Friday morning.

^ what does that look like? can you post a picture?

FedEx just delivered my Inspire today. Prop locks in the case.

what is the date on the DJI QA tag the is (mine was) under the gimble box. Mine shows 2015-01-24

I ordered direct from DJI in late December. It arrived yesterday with 6 prop locks included in the case.

The date on my tag is 02-03-2015

I confirmed with DJI HQ that there is no V2 and it is still recommended that prop locks be used.

Thanks Tahoe_Ed!

Ed, so essentially a craft that passed QA in Jan 20 is the same the one that passed AQ Feb 08 etc. With the exception that some of the most recent boxes come w the prop locks?

Not that I'm aware of unless something looks strange.  But yes, get the prop locks before you fly.

You'll have a blast, the Inspire 1 is incredible!  

For $2.00 the piece of mind is well worth it. Get those punks and put em on!

Agreed .... not much effort to put them on and for the peace of mind it is definitely the way to go.

Do these motors stop and reverse direction? What causes them to come unscrewed? I heard it was due to people not properly tightening them on all the way cause the motors turn so easy. I hold the motor when tightening mine and haven't had an issue yet. They are always still tight when im done flying.

The 13" props on the Inspires are larger and heavier than the Phantom's.  In aggressive flying situations when the Inspire's motor slow or stop abruptly, it's possible that the heavy props will keep on spinning simply due to inertia.  As a result, the props can potentially unscrew themselves.  This has never happened to me, but with the thousands of Inspires produced, Murphy's Law says prop spin off is bound to happen.  Prop locks are cheap and easy safeguards against loose props, either by not properly tightening the props or some kind of manufacturing defects on the propeller thread.

I got my Inspire from B&H 9 days ago and it too came without the prop locks. I contacted B&H and they agreed that the locks should have been in the box. They advised me not to fly until I had them and sent them to me.

Hmm thanks Im going to call their customer support and ask them. Thanks for the tip.

I ordered them from them anyway and they are only 2 bucks a set but with shipping it cost me like 12 when all was said and done.

These don't fly all that great with 3 props! :@
