yeah, those anti drop screws, those black plastic things that go through the dampeners to keep the whole thing together from popping off.

every now and then i lose an anti drop screw when returning from a flight. the replacement set that DJI has sells for $39. **** expensive for items that are cheap plastic and loosen during flight.

do you guys use thread locker to keep them in place?

the one that I keep loosing id the one that it underneath the body. i assume the disk portion is held in place and the vibration slowly backs the plastic screw out in flight.

what are you experiences or fixes?
 
Hey me too. I just randomly notice one is missing so I replaced it. Then in that same spot, another screw leaves me. Pain to put back in and i'm running out of spares. It must be the dampener has a big hole or something.
 
I crashed and broke 3 of the screws and due to the ridiculous cost to replace them I now use loosely fastened small zip ties, work perfectly fine.
