Loosening the screws and retightening them to hand tight is a suggestion I seen others advise. But, its still no guarantee. That is what this debate is about. Is it the screws too tight? Is it the shell designed poorly? The zipties won't really prevent it. Loosening screws and tightening them back to proper torque may prevent it. I don't mean to scare you away from this product. I think its a minor flaw right now that will be resolved sooner or later. Once DJI comes out of denial and starts working on a better shell then things will look better. To be honest even after seeing the cracks and throwing on zipties I can really careless now. I feel just as safe to fly again. Will test it tomorrow on my trip. You can always open up the P3 shell and glue the weak parts like other are doing. But, you void warranty doing so. To me, it seems these cracks or holes will only effect the screws keeping the top and bottom shell together. Meaning, the zipties will prevent the shell from coming apart. However, if I start to see more cracks or bigger cracks that effect the motor screws. Then, I'm sending this P3 to DJI. I can understand people raging about having to put zipties on their $1,000+ P3. But, to me it doesn't matter because I know this issue will be resolved sooner or later. Even if I have to buy a new updated shell in a couple months, which will void warranty if I install it myself or send it off to DJI so they can do it.
