I saw another post about this (except his was refurbished) and want to share what I learned about my NEW P4P 2.0...
First I'll say that I just saw in the other thread where he updated, returning his drone and it was replaced with a unit that his batteries aren't loose in, so I guess I might be contacting DJI about mine.
Very sad that DJI doesn't have better Quality Control for the amount of money these things cost...
Second I did what I did in the video below (rather than contact DJI right away) because I'm one of many that doesn't trust everything DJI does in the way of customer/product support (IE quality control).
My Heads Up Info on the 2.0 is that after reading about it having the tab/switch that won't let it take off if the battery isn't properly locked in I decided to do a test and was BOTHERED by the result of the test.
With drone and radio on and connected (battery for sure locked in 100% properly) I pushed up on the battery and guess what? GO went to saying CAN'T TAKE OFF, so that had me wondering if this "safety feature" they added to the 2.0 is going to cause issues/crashes on drones that "for sure have the battery properly installed before we take off"???
Well the good news is I just did another test and once the motors are running they don't shut off if/when the safety-tab detects the bottom lock isn't seated properly (all you have to do is push up the bottom lock so it isn't pushing on the tab anymore)...
"This shim deal is only temporary"
I only did it because I'm moving away from here soon and really REALLY want to take nice pictures and video of area before I leave.
With that said, this is what I did to make myself feel better about my Loose Battery situation...
Side notes that I sanded the top "Edges" of the shim smooth so they don't scratch up the battery compartment and when I say "this battery" in the video, that test was before adding the shim...
