Fly more bag

I wish they had have included a case like what came with the MA1, that along with the mesh pocket at the back were perfect for carrying around in a backpack in one small package

The reason propguards makes sense to me is that in every test of the APAS 3 obstacle avoiding, they say this actually sortof work now, but after a while it inevitably crashes into a tree. Id like to try what others have done and make a bikevideo with tracking mode. My thought was, with propguards the inevitable crash would be less severe and expensive. What are your reasons for dismissing the propguards? Do they worsen manouverability and batterytime to much? Are they not effective and helpful in a crash? Are you never even close to crashing because you are so careful and good flyers?

I haven’t seen any tests of APAS 3.0 with crashes. Links?

While these drones are pretty tough most of us go out of our way to take every precaution to avoid crashing. Prop guards will only potentially help the props but more importantly they are to protect other things from the props.

But they aren’t magic bumpers that will prevent damage to the drone.

APAS 3 crash test:

There was a german one aswell but I cannot find it right now.
