Any companies make cheaper Prop Cages

[Mavic626]

I really want to get the prop cages but the price tag of $159 seems very steep even for a DJI product. Does anyone know if it has been copied by a different company to be more affordable. I know they have the guards but I am looking for something that will block branches and leaves if I hit a tree.

my experience is that you usually get what you for.

I have the dji cages. I bought them to do indoor videos for real estate.

A couple observations:

They make mavic really loud. So loud that I prefer to wear earplugs if indoors. It's The short props coupled with the added weight.

Also, outdoors, mavic with cages is really affected by wind. Naked mavic handles high wind like a champ. Mavic with cages is challenging to fly in tripod mode in a moderate breeze.

I'm assuming these won't work with the new Mavic Pro Platinum props . . . We are looking at getting these to use in our SWAT missions inside buildings.

you might want the noise. It will sound like there is a swarm of bees after them.

Yea the noise isn't an issue for our application. I'm sure all that cage material really increases the drag/turbulence and makes it considerably louder.
