Thank you so much!! I got my screw out, thanks to this video! Other ppl suggested tools and even burning the plastic. This was the most reasonable!!! DJI Mini 4 is up and ready👍🤙
Thanks I've been trying to figure it out all day. But I got it after watching your video . And thanks for not talking throughout the whole video you got straight to the point
This video was a great help! I couldn’t get my nail clippers to cut the plastic back around the screw. I had to use a pair of robogrip pliers to chew away at the top of the plastic until I could grab the screw. Fixed! Now off to an Air bnb shoot. Thanks for the tip.
I could not get it using the nail clippers, luckily I had a Dremel tool designed for trimming my dog's nail. I used a disc to slowly remove the plastic away from the screw head. Sounds like this is a problem with the DJI Mini 3. I replaced all of the blades and everything went fine until I got to the last one, and of course that screw stripped.
I stripped 2 screws on a prop change a few months ago..i just contacted DJI and they apologised and told me to send it back to them..they replaced the slightly damaged props ,replaced the screws ...AND sent me a brand new mini 3 pro battery as an apology. (i did explain to them that this was their issue and not mine..the 'factory' person or machine had overtightened the prop screws on manufacture)
I took a chance with a local watchmaker thinking that tiny, stripped screws should be a common issue in watch repairing. I brought my Mini 3 Pro to him, which at this time, had just one prop still attached and for which the screw head completely stripped. He immediately took my drone to his work bench that was behind him so I could not see what he was doing. It took him less than one minute to extract the stripped screw. He refused payment because there was less than 60 seconds work. Bottom line, it appears that there is a low-cost alternative to doing the work yourself that has the advantage of removing the risk to causing damage.
Initially I following the method shown in the video. Then I saw your comment and did the same. The watchmaker had variety of screwdrivers and he unscrewed in front of me in seconds, also took no money. Thanks🙏🏻
I managed to remove it from this video, (thank you very much DRONE MANTRA!) but the propellers on the Z axis have a gap from top to bottom and when the others are super tight and the screw that I put in moves a little further to stay the same then I won't be able to take
You sure we're not making a mistake there at 4:00, where we put the screws onto the shaft without the prop 'to check' ? If we then immediately remove those to fit the actual prop, have we not already broken the threadlock seal that is the entire reason new screws are provided with props !? I'd say - don't check they fit - if they came with the DJI props they will fit. Just go straight to fitting new props, tighten once, and leave !
Stop using the cheap-ass screwdriver they supply with the drone & use a real screwdriver. This will reduce the likelyhood of stripping the screw head. 🦘😎👍
The horrible wee driver is a Phillips and the screws are Japanese Industry Standard - jst not compatible!!! get a JIS 00 and ull have the right tool and no more stripped heads. a lot of JIS 00 come with a plastic clutch to prevent over torqueing on reassembly. it would have been much safer cutting a slot with a dremel or even a mini hacksaw and using a suitable flat driver to undo the screw - well done getting it done tho!! 🙂🙃😊 happy droning!!@@DroneMantra

Thank you!!! Just used this technique to remove the screw. Local computer repair shops wanted to charge $50+ 😂😂

It worked…thank you for the JUGAD
Thanks a lot, helped me, I did exactly the same. God bless.
You're welcome!
Ingenious and brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
You are a goddamn genius
Worked perfectly 👏

You got lucky
@@DroneMantra I'm Irish.
Thanks for tutorial!

genio, muchas gracias
Thank you. I hate this design.
nice idea
Thank you! Cheers!
Do not use the screwdriver DJI supplies. Get a high quality PH0 screwdriver. It might cost you, but it's better than going through this process
Yes, you are correct
Good video will try this method thanks for sharing new subscriber
Thanks and welcome
Good video!
Thanks!
Thanks Sir!
Most welcome!
Thank a lot it really work
Welcome 👍
Why do these screws strip so easily? Is there a more robust replacement option for the screw itself, i.e., just something of higher quality?
my screw head is broken and the body is still stuck in that how am I gonna take it off 😭
Bro this happened to me too… what’d you end up doing?
I've broken the screw holder pin thingy. Do I need a whole new arm?
DJI service centre would be the best option.

No concerns about getting pieces in the motor?
It’s a hard plastic, just need to blow the air time to time if required. It did not jam the motor in my case.
@@DroneMantra ok. gr8! I have 3 screws from the factory install that are not budging.
Top❤❤❤❤
I think the screws tool with propellers is bad. It wasn’t really fit at all. It has happened to the Mini 2.
Done exactly the same
👍
Need fast Timelapse.
Prima di tutto cambia cacciavite 😢😢
i bought a dremel for this issue XD
SADOMASOQUISMO COM DRONE. É UMA ANTA AMBULANTE ESSE😂😂
Nope!

Yeah, we need to get better one. DJI supplied screw driver is not reliable.
