Hi,

Has anyone 3d printed or designed some prop CAGES for the ph4?

Let me know if anyone has a solution? THANKS!

Best,

Probably someone has, look on eBay. But consider what happens with things like that on your aircraft. It severely limits the performance of your aircraft, makes it very difficuilt to control in medium winds and could possibly stop your aircraft coming home under RTH if the wind is strong.

Haven't found anything yet which is surprising.

Its for flying indoors under very slow conditions and no wind.

Aloha Joolzay,

     DJI sells prop guards for $19 (US) for the P4 series, two different types although I see only one type available now.  I have both types.  The one for sale protects the sides but the front and back (I think) count on object avoidance to keep from hitting anything.

This set of guards is very low profile and deals with some of Geebax concerns.

     Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

The best prop guards are learning to fly well.

Avoiding congested areas, staying in an open environment and those prop guards will become pointless.

If you plan on flying indoors, consider buying a smaller more appropriate drone...
Or use the onboard flight SIM for practice.

Thanks for the red hot tips dudes but I have practical applications for flying with the cages in congested locations. I don't care how good you are at piloting if you are flying in atti mode, in congested locations, experience compass errors or a mild breeze you are not keeping that thing in the air.

Looking for something more like what they have made for the mavic with the cages but for the PH4.

Not using mavic because the camera is poor in low light conditions and it can not carry a lume cube with the prop CAGES already installed.
