I have just watched a video of someone flying a mavic of some sort through a crevice in a Norwegian rock face, it looked incredibly tight.
It made me wonder if, for such flights, has anyone tried putting thin, light, flexible (possibly only in the horizontal plane) 'whiskers' on the drone? They'd have to be mounted in such a way that they or their tips can be seen through the camera and so that, tip to tip, they were a couple of inches wider than the props.
They'd need to be very easy knock aways obviously.
I suppose there is a risk they's spoil the shot.
 
Just put prop guards on for tight spaces and let it bounce. I've got a pair and they work really well for tight quarters flying.

Though I hadn't thought of guards and they might be a solution in some circumstances, "bouncing" in the situation that video, below, would almost certainly have led to a crash, likewise if they cause rotating or a direction change.
