Hi to all.

All propellers and screws looks genuine. All screws are tight to the max. All 8 propellers has the same play. Can you check yours DJI Mini 4 Pro please?

Is this normal movement? Thank you.

That is NOT Normal. Are you sure you have the correct screws?

The props on my Mini 4 Pro have the same amount of play.

Have you compared yours? The movement might look more pronounced in the video since it's zoomed in on the action.

Looks the same on the Mini 3 Pro as well.

Do take into consideration that the props do not 'spin/rotate' around the screws while in flight, centrifugal force keep them static, the screws only keep them in place.

Sorry I was not aware that they had that much play I seem to recall the mini 3 having play but that seemed excessive to me.

That was fast response. You guys are great. The reason why I am asking is that I see too much "dance" on a wind from a drone. Also wind lifting front of the drone too much visually (maybe because 4 is sort of designed that way with lifted front). Never looked on my previous drones too much, but if you can see Mini 4 Pro up close on the wind, looks really nervous.

The footage looks stable. Never getting any wind warnings on the screen and now is the part of the year when winds are stronger compare "normal" time of flights for me.

Drone asked for IMU calibration but not like forbidding me to fly (not like that compass warning on Mini 1 every time). I did that, but not flying yet after calibration.

Maybe is just the way light drone act on the wind and winds in my case are not very powerfull. Mostly somewhere in the middle for the flight to be possible.

Do you think yours 4 Pro acts too nervous on the winds when you look it directly (no through the screen)?

It is vital that you carry out the IMU calibration, and also calibrate the collision sensors, EVEN if you do not turn the collision sensors on during your drone's flights. Neglecting to calibrate the IMU, the compass, and collision sensors can cause the drone to fly erratically and stop without reason while flying waypoint missions, for example, which could result in the outright loss of the drone.

I lost TWO Mavic 1 Pro drones over the years because I neglected the calibration of those collision sensors, so I tend to go overboard warning others not to repeat my mistakes
