Ground Clearance Kit

mnobes.12 · Dec 17, 2016

Hello all, I was just watching this video on the ground clearance kit for the Mavic Pro and am wondering what the brand/name of this kit is and if it might be available on Amazon Canada. Any ideas?

I'm wondering if the camera might "see" the extended front legs when yawing? Other than that and a few grams of weight, might be a good mod.

The possible leg interference with the camera might be an issue, didn't think of that. I guess we will have to see what others say about that when they start testing them.

I have heard that these leg extensions have a design issue and the person making these are redesigning them. Not sure what the issue was.

I'm thinking, since he's been testing, he would've mentioned that, and he didn't. Also the lens FOV in the Mavic is a little narrower, so this might not be an issue, but your cautious approach is a good one.

Too expensive, $40 with shipping on Amazon. Only has 1 review, and that's more than likely a shill.

YouTube channel drone valley has a positive opinion on these things.

OK, those are different, I was looking at these, look sleeker but expensive.

Rick from Drone Valley certified there is no interference with the camera view !!

I personally like the new polarpro version, http://mavicpilots.com/threads/new-leg-extenders.3488/unread
Looks to have a stable stance and extra hight.

I agree, with the wider stance seems it would be more of an asset. I wish they would have made the rear leg extensions taller. Although, would want it to sit level? Or am I off base here? Perhaps the "nose up" stance helps keep debris outtta the intakes? That would be a very good thing. it looks also like you can slide the rear legs in or out along the arms to any position desired. Although, again, a wider stance would be more stable in any condition.
