does anything come loose or need tightening??

[DOC 1500]

DJI Phantom 4 Pro for those that own one for quite some time , is there anything on these drones that periodically come loose , need tightening, or should have Loctite applied. Just wondering what you check on a regular basis or have experience problems with.

No, not normally.
Do a simple preflight - props on correctly, landing gear all sound, no cracks.

I flew RC helis and planes for many years, loctite was a way of life. Not with these.

+1 ive tightened the prop holders as well. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 turn

After initial torque check of the prop clips, all I have to tighten every couple months is the RC clip pivot screw, it will come loose.

+ 1 on the pivot screw I'm going to put Loctite on mine.

I suggest that you create a checklist similar to what pilots of manned aircraft have. Use it every time. It can solve safety issues and the drone's survival life. It is so easy to miss something. I saw a drone crash on takeoff because the PIC had not secured the battery. Simple things can cause major problems.
