I recently purchased a used Inspire 1 and to my surprise it did not have the quick release assembly that is present in my P4. It has of course a set of white and blacked tagged props that screw in CW and CCW. Mind you when it screws down it feels fairly secure. I just never saw anything like this. Is this normal, or perhaps just something that is found on an older Inspire 1
 
The thread on props were the original props, some will say they were the best. I tend to agree with that statement.

For added peace of mind you can obtain clips that go over the prop hub and engaged in the vent slots of the motor. DJI introduced these after a few people had failed to spin the props on tight to the motor )or had dirt between the flat motor surface and the prop base

DJI Inspire 1 propeller lock part number 18 - in the UK £3 plus postage on eBay.
 
I still fly my Inspire 1 in it's original status,that includes the "old "props and never had any issue or whatsoever.And I still love this machine

In fact all inspire ones have the ability to use threaded props. All you do is remove the QR adapters and you are set to go again.
