Haha, ingenious. that doesn't mean you couldn't sell them on ebay.

I've seen folks buy anything on there from 6" lengths of plastic "drift" rope to tufts of sheep wool pulled from a barbed wire fence.

Although with that lovely textured fabric I reckon yours could make more in an etsy shop.

Wow, so let me get this straight your willing to pay 6.000$ on a drone namely the Mavic 3 Cine but not will to go the extra mile maybe buying a Mini 3 Pro propeller guard which I’m sure they probably have one by now on Amazon. This comment was meant as a joke.

I feel like it may warp the wrong way if tightened too much.

It was actually the case that there was no suitable protection for the Mini 3 propellers anywhere (on the fly).
In order not to risk something breaking during transport, you sometimes have to be a little "inventive"...

Of course you have to be very sensitive, with this little one anyway!!!

I am giving up on those propeller holders, bought 2 to 3 different designs and they all put pressure on the propellers.
Now I just use a ziplock bag for the drone.  Easy to take out and put into the bag, and no pressure on the propellers.

I heard from someone that the army is willing to pay BIG some of money if you can make the velcro “noiseless” while taking it apart!!
