Hi - new user and first time drone owner - exciting times. Just thought I'd show my first 'hack' - cut off a piece of 30mm wide velcro just to wrap around loosely and hold the propeller blades in place when transporting. I used a roll of this I had already - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00186OJG6 - sure any brand will do, and as it isn't elasticated, won't bend the props. Yet to fly - all updated, but waiting on an SD card...

This might be a good idea to start with, but i fear that the props will be bend in a way they should not and will deform during time.

Well, I based the idea on what DJI do themselves for the Mini 2 - https://store.dji.com/uk/product/mavic-mini-propeller-holder - it's only a loose loop.

Nice idea.    As long as it is a bit lose it shouldn't deform the props over time.

Good idea. A very weak elastic band will also do the job I think
