Does/ will DJI make propeller guards for Mavic Pro 2?

[bburnett15]

Now that FAA is allowing flight over people, i would like to get prop guards for my MP2. I didnt see them in the store- does anyone know if these are available yet?

I had no idea these were available. Thanks to you I found them at B&H for $16, tax and shipping included and just ordered a set. Until now I've not flown my M2 indoors because of it's size, but will be emboldened to do so because it has slow tripod mode that my Mini 2 does not have (Cine mode is really touchy). For $16 it's better to have them and not need them, then need them and not have them.

Word of caution, I think the centre hinge will prove very susceptable to "off the drone" handling so be careful. For this reason mine go back in the box with ALL the original foam block surrounds in place.

When I got my M2Z (from B&H) I ordered 2 sets of prop guards. They go on the done each flight. I also spray painted them red (!) for more visibility. Now they provide me a bigger foot print in the sky and the done is easier to see.

cool. happy to help. You may want to think about the red spray paint. It makes a difference.

Have you seen minimized flight time with the guards used? Love the bright paint idea!

 

[DVPOWERS]

I have not. They are super light and don't effect flight time at all.

I don't think those qualify for flying over people since with those, props can still easily contact skin, especially fingers.

You probably need a prop cage, and even standard ones with wide holes might not qualify. A cage with a screen over the gaps might qualify.

be aware, the prop guards change the profile in the wind, greater resistance, therefore greater chance for a gust to push you off heading. And, coming back into the wind will be harder, battery will not last as long.

I think Dan is right.
My understanding is the prop guards must fully surround the props, not just from the side/edges as in the earlier products show.
And the new rules aren't in effect yet.....

Prop GUARDS do NOT satisfy the aspect of
•Contains no “exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin upon impact with a human being”

Prop CAGES are most likely the only way to get into Operating Over People.
