your Inspire 1 from the DJI Online Store, the Propeller Locks will automatically be shipped to you. If 

you purchased your Inspire 1 at an authorized DJI dealer, they can be collected from the dealer. These 

Propeller Locks will be available next week, and DJI recommends that you do not fly your Inspire 1 

before receiving and attaching the Propeller Locks. Future customers can get Propeller Locks from 

the DJI Online Store or at a local authorized dealer.
