Was doing some commercial cinematography and during pre-flight check saw that one of the screws that holds the propeller mount to the motor had the screw head sheared off. The style of flying we were doing was nothing abnormal. The M600 Pro is fairly new and has only 14 hours of flight time on it.
When looking at the size of the screw used it seems that the head is not very thick. DJI could this be a problem that should be addressed? Upgraded, thicker screws?
Makes me a bit nervous about this happening again. I've read of some props breaking as well. We have the newer thicker props so hopefully thsat doesn't happen.
DJI are you addressing this failure point on the M600?

Cheers, Craig

Hello,

I have the same problem and for the second time.
The first time, DJI says "it's not guaranteed" and nothing else.
Now, I would like to know why the head of the screw broke. it's very important for me because I have missions with very expensive equipment on the drone.
If it's because the diameter of the screw is too small, DJI must react quickly.

Thank you
