DJI Mini 3 Series 360° Propeller Guard, Compatibility: DJI Mini 3 Pro, DJI Mini 3

Works!
Works great! It attaches by little metal snaps that are rock solid secure! Easy to put on & remove. They do add some weight and makes your battery work a little more, but its worth it for testing attachments and messing around inside. Trying to balance my pontoon attachment has been a nightmare & these guards have saved, at least, three sets of blades already. Definitely worth the money!

A Trade-off between Protection and Portability
As an avid drone enthusiast, I recently purchased the DJI Mini 3 Series 360° Propeller Guard to enhance the safety and protection of my DJI Mini 3 Pro.While the propeller guard undeniably offers valuable functionality, I must admit that its size and bulkiness have left me feeling somewhat conflicted.Firstly, it is important to acknowledge the purpose of the propeller guard. Its primary function is to provide an additional layer of protection to the propellers, reducing the risk of damage during flights.In this regard, the propeller guard excels. The guard’s robust construction and comprehensive 360° coverage instill a sense of security, particularly when flying in confined spaces or close to obstacles. Especially since it did hit tree branches when the drone automatically flew up when the battery got low.So, it would effectively prevents accidental contact with walls, branches, or other objects, which can save both the propellers and the drone from potential harm.However, the issue lies in the trade-off between protection and portability. The propeller guard adds a noticeable amount of bulk to the otherwise sleek and compact DJI Mini 3 Pro.While the drone itself is designed to be lightweight and easily transportable, the propeller guard somewhat undermines this key feature.The added weight and increased dimensions make it less convenient to carry and transport, which can be a drawback for users who prioritize portability and agility.Another consideration is the impact on flight performance. The increased weight of the propeller guard can potentially affect the drone’s maneuverability, resulting in reduced battery life and slightly compromised responsiveness.Although the difference is not significant, it is worth noting for those who value the drone’s nimbleness during flight.Ultimately, whether or not the propeller guard is a worthwhile addition depends on the individual’s specific needs and preferences.For those who frequently fly in challenging environments or are concerned about potential accidents, the guard undoubtedly provides valuable peace of mind. However, if you prioritize the drone’s portability and aim for unobstructed, agile flights, the propeller guard may not be the ideal choice.In conclusion, the DJI Mini 3 Series 360° Propeller Guard offers commendable protection for the propellers of the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Its robust construction and comprehensive coverage significantly reduce the risk of accidental damage during flights.However, the added bulk and slightly reduced flight performance might be perceived as downsides for users who prioritize portability and agility. Ultimately, it’s a trade-off between enhanced protection and the desire for a more compact, lightweight drone.So, although it does the job, it’s not something I really use like I thought I would. And wouldn’t have bothered to purchase in hindsight. I’d most likely have put the money toward an extra battery.

Training wheels
I am using these as I work out my poor coordination skills. They have saved me once so far. They are extremely easy to pop on and off. No Velcro straps to mess with.

WARNING: Unusable in higher altitudes
I was excited to receive these, but unfortunately they won’t work for me since I live outside of Denver at 5280 ft. They definitely feel bigger, heavier, and more robust than I was expecting. I slapped these puppies on my DJI mini 3 pro indoors and it hovered in an incredible unstable fashion. The DJI RC was screaming red text at me to land since it was overloaded (I use the small DJI batteries). I am aware that air is thinner up here but I wasn’t expecting quite that reaction. The fine print: “When using the propeller guard together with the intelligent Flight Battery, the maximum takeoff altitude of the aircraft is 1,500m (4,921 ft) to ensure flight safety”. I wish the description mentioned this which is why I’m knocking some stars.I’m bummed to return them since they look and feel great- I’m sure if you live in a lower elevation area they work as advertised.

Loved the quality as soon as I opened it. Did 1 indoor flight installing it. The flight was stable. However didn’t band the drone anywhere to check the strength of this guard. But sure will give you to confidence to test your skills indoor. Planning to use these for outdoor flights too.

Very recommended for beginners as well as for indoor flights.Very well built. I tried cheaper brands to save money… They brake easily. Dont’t go for the cheaper brand, they brake on collisions and the propeller are not saved either.It is worthe the extra you pay for.
