My M2Pro has a screw loose! Well...extra screw.

So it’s been performing flawlessly, but I kept hearing something rolling around in the area above the camera gimbal. I removed the small panels next to the front legs, and managed to shake a small screw out from that area.

Guess someone at the factory dropped it and moved on. It has blue lock right on the threads so I believe it is one of the gimbal screws.

That's... making... me... nauseated...

I really hope it's not from your drone!

It did come from the drone. After much tilting and light shaking it fell out. I checked every visible external screw and all are accounted for. My guess it when the person assembling it dropped a gimbal Mount screw, they just grabbed another and moved on. It matches those screws exactly (I removed mine to check).

Did your MP2 have any scuffs or marks on it? Mine has scuffs all over the camera and a small nick at the bottom by one of the sensors. I know I'm being nitpicky, but I wouldn't expect something I just paid nearly $1500 for to look like its been used.

I was removing screws to open up the top shell to get the loose screw out. The drone is put together so well that I was unable to get the top shell apart. I’m convinced you could take every visible screw out and it would still fly and stay together fine.

I was finall able to get it out of the small port by the front leg.
