Polar Pro made some really nice stick replacements that you could extend a bit to enhance your control for those of us who use our thumbs on top of the sticks--which I contend is the proper manner. Does anyone know if someone is, or will be, producing a similar product for the Mavic 3 standard controller? These are pretty short.

I'd assume that the same ones for the Air 2/2S/Mini 2 should work with the Mavic 3 controller as they seem to be of the same design. I may be incorrect however.

I have the original PolarPro version of these (they look exactly the same). At the lowest position, they are just a tad longer than the stock sticks and absolutely provide more precise control. I slowed the response sensitivity down just a little from the default setup and the entire flight experience feels more exact.

Yep, I've already slowed the response down, I'm just used to the slightly taller sticks. Thanks again!
 
These are the ones I’m using and they are adjustable.

Just curious what is the main purpose of extended sticks? I have never used them, so I am not sure what kind of benefits and comforts it gives
 
I like these a LOT more, there is no describing how much better the control feels... Thanks to whomever pointed them out to me on Amazon... they rock. And they even LOOK better... 🤠👍🏼

There is a LOT of disagreement on this, but I've found that most "experienced" pilots agree that the proper way to operate your sticks is with your thumbs directly on top, or just to the side of them, not by gripping them with your thumb and forefinger. It allows you to make more precise movements, especially the more experienced you get. Making them a tad longer just helps in that effort.

this is a rather old, basic video, but watch the way the guy uses the sticks with just his thumbs.

go to Scootymakesstuff , they have something called CineSticks . Looking into them for my Mavic2
I found these on Amazon, they're exactly what I was looking for, you can make the taller or not. I bought two sets because I'm sure I'll end up losing one of them--although they do come with a nice little custom case with a perfect foam insert and room for four! At $12.99, why not?
