Has anyone else noticed this? I first noticed it when I folded the arms so I can put the drone away. One of the arms had a slight play in it as I was holding the drone. I guess my hand placement was more on the lower arms which is the rear arms. That's when I first noticed the left rear arm have slight give going inwards to the body. I assume this is normal? When the arms are unfolded, I didn't notice any play in the arms. I tried to wiggle each arm, didn't notice any play in the arms. All I heard was the plastic making sounds lol.

Seems like that's a common problem and is normal. I'm afraid I don't have a ton of experience with Mavic 4 quads.

Oh okay, just wasn't sure. I'm coming from an Inspire 1 and that platform was stable. It freaked me out when I was holding the Mavic 4 Pro in my hand when folding the arms... feeling that slight play in the arm. It wasn't like I was squeezing hard to the drone. Literally just holding it and the 1 rear arm moved inwards slightly and it threw me off. As long as it's normal, I'm good. Again, when the arms is unfolded, the arms are stiff. Even when I try to wiggle the arms to see if there is any play, all I hear is the plastic lol
