STARTRC MINI 4 Pro Propeller Guard,Quick Release Removable Propellers Protector for DJI MINI 4 Pro Accessories

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)As someone new to the drone world, I needed something to protect my DJI Mini 4 Pro while I got the hang of flying it, especially indoors. Enter the STARTRC MINI 4 Pro Propeller Guard – a game-changer for any newbie or cautious flyer!Protection:First and foremost, these propeller guards are a lifesaver. They shield the drone’s delicate propellers from any bumps and scrapes, significantly reducing the chances of it crashing to the floor if it brushes against a wall, furniture, or even a curious pet. This added protection has given me the confidence to practice flying in tighter, indoor spaces without constantly worrying about damaging my drone.Indoor Flying:Flying indoors can be tricky, but these guards make it much more manageable. They create a buffer around the propellers, allowing me to maneuver my drone more safely around obstacles. This has been invaluable for improving my skills in a controlled environment.Obstacle Avoidance Disabled: It’s important to note that once the propeller guards are attached, the drone's obstacle avoidance system gets disabled. This was a bit of a surprise at first, but knowing this in advance is crucial. You’ll need to be extra cautious and manually steer clear of obstacles since the drone won’t automatically do it for you.Battery Life Impact: Another point to consider is the additional weight from the guards. It does slightly reduce the flight time due to the extra load. However, for the peace of mind and protection they offer, it's a trade-off I’m more than willing to make. It’s a small price to pay for keeping my drone intact and prolonging its lifespan.Recommendation: Despite these minor drawbacks, I wholeheartedly recommend the STARTRC MINI 4 Pro Propeller Guard to anyone, especially beginners or those flying indoors. The protection they offer is unparalleled, and they’ve certainly saved me from numerous potential crashes. If you want to safeguard your drone’s propellers and reduce the risk of it plummeting to the ground after a minor bump, these guards are an essential accessory.In conclusion, the STARTRC MINI 4 Pro Propeller Guard has been a fantastic addition to my drone setup. It provides much-needed protection, boosts my confidence while flying indoors, and helps me focus on improving my piloting skills without constantly fearing for my drone’s safety. Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the STARTRC MINI 4 Pro Propeller Guard specifically for flying my DJI MINI 4 Pro in low light and at night when the built-in obstacle detection system is inactive. These guards are quick to install and remove, providing an added layer of protection for my drone in challenging lighting conditions.One notable feature is the on-screen notification alerting me when the propeller guards are fitted. However, it's important to be aware that the performance is downgraded when the guards are in use, and the obstacle detection system is automatically switched off. This behavior is consistent with the official DJI guards.Despite the performance trade-off, these propeller guards have proven indispensable for my nighttime flights, offering peace of mind and safeguarding my drone in less-than-ideal visibility. If you're flying in low light conditions and can accept the reduced obstacle detection capabilities, these guards are a valuable accessory for your DJI MINI 4 Pro.

The propeller guards offer good protection at the sides and undermeath of the drone. Although very light the guards obviously make the drone weigh more than 250g which means you need to register the drone with the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK and take the test to obtain a Flyer ID.So far I have only one complaint with the guards and that is I found it very difficult to secure the clips over the two front arms of the drone. It takes me a few minutes and sore fingertips pushing hard to eventually get the clips secured. Looking at the tabs that slot in the hinged clip they look slightly out of alignment which I think is causing the problem. But apart from that a wortwhile investment if flying where the drone is likely to bump into something that the object avoidance sensors don't see. Maybe the troublesome clips will bed in with use.

Bought this for a present. Relation was very happy as product protects his mini 4. No need to worry about getting too close to an object now or crashing (:-)

It realy gives extra protection to your drone. Glad I bought it!

Works as intended. It feels very 'plasticy' which usually means poor quality but given the weight concerns involved in its application, cannot be avoided. The actual design and build quality is pretty good.I would recommend

All the clips fitted fine with the exception of one which required a bit of force. It's fairly flimsy in construction. Don't know how long they'll last for that reason.Probably worth having indoors as you you get the protection without the annoying avoidance beeps.Outdoors you're most likely better without them a) for the unbuilt avoidance function, b) for the improved aerodynamics and c) forr the reduced weight

I’m about to order these for indoor flights. The only issue I see with this product is putting the drone over the sub 250gram weight class.Having these installed and flying outdoors without the correct license will get you into some trouble if stopped by an official for whatever reason.
