Best prop guard for close-ups

[kinol]

Hey guys! I am Ignat Kinol. I am directing a film shot on flying drones only. We use mavic pro for close-ups and a bit of inspire for wides. I am searching for the best prop guards for mavic. They should be cheap and light. So our actors don't freak out. Thanks. Ignat

The DJI set works well...

The DJI store seems to be out of stock - https://store.dji.com/product/mavic-propeller-guard

Amazon has them in stock - https://www.amazon.com/DJI-MVP32-Ma...82-20&linkId=e9d9b3f2f572e8a4f514d7e0a53f6a44

There are other third-party versions but they are all very similar.

The guards LuvMyTJ has listed should work for you. I have them and they are light and cheap (inexpensive) and should not affect flight time. You might be thinking of the prop cages which cost around $160. They do completely surround the props so there is more protection but also more drag, which may be where you are getting the half flight time info. They also will not work with the platinum props where the guards will.
