I hadn't seen mention of these little things on any forums yet, and since the price was cheap I threw a pair into my shopping basket.
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet (six images)
The vendor in Japan's Amazon is called "Xberstar" but the box shows a label printed by "RcGeEk" as the original maker.
The idea here is to raise ONLY the rear feet, which lifts the whole bird a little more for grassy dusty terrain.
The positives:
That's all there is, really. It is a simple product, done well, but has its quirks. I knew I wouldn't really stick to using them regularly, but thought I would post the concept since I didn't see them around before.

The positives:
- These are well-made, injection molded plastic.
- They look very similar to the styling on the front feet, unlike many options.
- They hold very securely to the original rear motor mounts once installed.
- They can be popped on and off in seconds, even using only one hand.
- The forward tilt does not affect the takeoff or landing at all.
- The Mavic does not handle any differently in flight.
- You can't fold the legs with these installed.
- You probably shouldn't calibrate the IMU with these installed, as it creates a forward tilt.
