Mini 2 front left arm clicking sound when opening and closing

[Vaideeshwar]

I have owned all Mavic (except the pro series) and this is the first time I am hearing this clicking sound when opening and closing the left arm at about the halfway point.

I spoke to DJI CS who recommended that I return it for a replacement, and when I finally opened my REPLACEMENT, IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM TOO!!

Are any you guys having the same problem?

It sounds like you're describing the noise the protective cable covering makes on some drones when opening/closing the arms.

I have owned every Mavic model too and have never NOT had the issue you describe. It has always been due to the cable as described above. I was worried it would cause damage due to additional wear, but it never has, so no need to worry.

That sounds positive! Thank you. I did my own searching in the internet to find out some poeple who had a clicking arm later saw development of minute cracks near the arm hinge, which got me worried.

Thanks for that. I wanted to ignore the sound, but read comments from a few people who saw this sound turn into bigger problems. It is a good thing I returned the first one because the drone did not make the "ta na na" DJI startup welcome sound and I thought DJI got rid of that for this model.
