SummitLink Snap On/Off Prop Guards 2X Red 2X White for Phantom 1 2 3 Quick Connect Tool Free Also Fit on Phantom 3 Standard

I've been flying DJI Phantom since DJI Phantom 1. To date, I've owned three DJI Phantoms and this is the first DJI Phantom that I have installed props guards on. I intentionally didn't install prop guards previously because they made the DJI Phantom 2 or DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus too large to fit inside of a carrying case. These prop guards are EXCELLENT because they quickly snap off without tools! It's easy to land the DJI Phantom 2 and have the prop guards disconnected a few seconds later. These prop guards pay for themselves by saving propellers! Even the most skilled DJI Phantom pilots damage props unexpectedly upon landing. These also help to reduced prop damage while bumping into an object unexpectedly during flight. The quick-disconnect piece remains attached below the four motors. Installing that piece was a simple process. It's just a matter of replacing the factory DJI screws with the longer screw that stick through the quick-disconnect piece. These prop guards have not degraded the flight dynamics of my DJI Phantom 2 in any way and the red color pieces are great! I mounted them on the front of the DJI Phantom 2 to function as a visual way to see which end is the front of the Phantom. I'll never fly a DJI Phantom without these prop guards! I'm so glad that these prop guards were brought to market!

The removable feature is a real Plus when you carry your drone in a case as most cases do not accommodate a full size drone with prop guards. It's a good idea to have prop guards just as a safety feature. They're not training wheels, they prevent you from being sued when your runaway drone runs into a spectator performing on their head the same operation as a Cuisine Art might. Yeah, you'll lose a half a minutes time. Buy another battery and fly safely and have consideration for others... maybe even for yourself if it performs a boomerang maneuver when it decides to seize control of its operation all by itself. That all being said, it is a little bit challenging to remove the guards from the Drone when you pack up. I found that using a flat blade screwdriver to depress the prongs on the clips is the best way to get them off. In fact, so far it's the only way I've found.

ProsThese prop guards do exactly what they are supposed to do, guard the propellers on your Phantom quadcopter. They fit well and are fairly easy to install.ConsThe biggest drawback is weight. It seems there was no thought given to conserving weight when these were designed. When using them you can expect to lose between 3 and 5 minutes of flight time. I will continue to use them because I believe they are necessary accessory to flying my drone. I will however be using some strategically placed removal of plastic to parts that can get by. I did not weigh them before I installed them, I wish I would have.

Prop guards are a must have for any skill level because they greatly mitigate the damage to the props caused by the nuisance bumps and nicks that WILL happen even to the most skilled drone pilot.I give overall Quality a 4. The guards feel thick and sturdy and not at all "flimsy" as some others have stated. They are heavier than the branded DJI prop guards for the P3. I take off one point because they feel a little rough and unfinished. However, the fact that the red guards give a larger visual reference to the front of the vehicle is extremely useful.Installation is quick and intuitive. I take no points off because there are no instructions - none are needed. Its like saying that you take off points when reviewing a pair of shoes because they didn't come with instructions. If you're intelligent enough to figure out how to fly and control a drone, you don't need instructions to install these. It took less than 10 minutes for all 4. And YES, the installation screws are a different size but they included all tools required for installation.The ease of removing the guards is invaluable to ensuring portability. You can have the props and guards on or off in under one minute. And finally, I did not perceive any performance degradation or flight characteristic changes.

I give them 5 stars simply because they are removable (HUGE positive) and because they are sturdy. Some reviewers wrote that they are flimsy but I tested them by whacking them on a table like a hammer and they had no damage; it's possible that the vendor might have used cheaper plastic in the past but the ones I purchased are solid as a rock. It's true about the screws and the poor instructions, but I'm handy so there were no issues. A butter-fingered person might get into trouble.All in all I love them because I can remove them when I pack up. Here's a tip to save a few hundred bucks on a case: I bought a small fiberglass travel case (wheels, retractable handle, zipper closure) for $60 that JUST fits the original Phantom 3 cardboard box that it came in, with about 4" to spare on the long side that holds the prop guard and some extras. Perfect fit

bought these for my DJI phantom 3 standard. comes with everything advertised. well built adds extra protection for the arms, the quick attach unit screws onto the arms easily, the guards can then be put on quickly, and taken off quickly for storage. great to use for indoors or areas with brush or trees, also helps if you have any tip overs. protects both drone and blades. Also helps with visibility of the drone. good product, good price.
