Hello, in quarantine time,
I decided to make a video of 2 accessories that I find spectacular for the Mavic Mini.
Hope you like it

Be safe. Thank you for sharing your views of these products. It appears, to me, that the prop guards for the front are under pressure (bending) when the guard is snapped in place. Maybe it is the camera view. Thanks again.

Hello,
Thank you very much for watching the video. The Propeller Guard, although tight, does not force the propellers. it’s their shape and the camera’s angle. Stay safe

Here are my fancy prop guards.  Strips of gaffer tape with paper strips in the middle so they stick only to the drone body and not the props.  Cost: about 3 American pennies.

I think SunnyLife pretty much nailed every accessory for the Mavic Mini, I currently own of them:

- ND PL filters
- Neck strap for the RC
- Parabolic reflectors and MD display hood

But... to be truthfully honest I have a reservation for the propeller holders. Considering how delicate the Mavic Mini propellers are, and how an (almost) indistinguishable profile change can cause ESC errors (that can lead to DROPs and Aircraft losses), I would be quite afraid of using something that pins the props against the body as prolonged contact might actually induce a change of shape.

For my Mini I use pre-creased micro-Velcro like cable-ties so I can comfortably store it in its original DJI carrying case (Fly More kit), and the ties don't exert any significant force against the props as they just serve to keep them bundled together when they have the tendency to move about.

Just have to find my tape (that I use to hold my skis)

As annoying is it is to have the propellers flop all over the place, I've decided not to use straps like that on my Mini.  I'm afraid the tension will warp the delicate arms and the propellers and eventually cause the props to hit the body.  I also have that hood; it makes the Mini more susceptible to wind.

I must agree with @m80116:

So I printed such things:
