Propellers Guards

Drone 1

Good day all,

Just an arb question....
Why don’t DJI Mavic Pro Pilots not use the Propellers guards? Is it because the performance is affected or is it just not manly to use them.

Guards are not standard equipment and are generally not required.

just not manly to use

No need for them

I used them once on my Mavic Air, and found that whilst the props were protected (and the walls of your house also protected!), it just didn't seem as stable to me. If anything, using the propeller guards caused my confidence level with the drone to drop.

Thanks for the reply, I guess only really used for indoor flying?

I'd only ever use them when flying in someones back garden near to people I know (in my control) or if flying indoors. Otherwise they stay in the box though I don't even own a set for my MPP.
