I thought I would include some of my favorite accessories I've bought for the mavic in a list. I do reviews on gadgets but not much on accessories for things. But I still wanted to,share what I've personally bought and used with others that have wondered about these items.
Most of these can be found in many places, but I went for the ones at the cheapest price point to save a few dollars.
I've never shopped on wish or geek before until a couple months ago when my better half showed me these sites. What I've found is the same items being sold for s lot less.
Everything came OK, except for some cloned mavic props. But now that the props seem to be back in stock in most big DJI resellers I would stick with the authentic ones. They are a lot more stuf and the ones from these sites seem very flimsy.
All stay prices include the cost of the item and shipping.
Accessories add up fast and become an added expense, this is why I choose to wait three or four weeks to get my stuff and save a lot then buy fro others who sell the same thing at a large markup.
So my first a favorite thing is the landing pad. It does great at keeping the dust and dirt from getting sucked into the mavic scrolling fan and helps launching from grass. And has two colors, just flip it over. Comes with steaks to keep it down, a carry case, and reflectors for low light landings to help the mavic see it when landing at sunset.
