Parachute Recovery and Flight Termination System for the DJI Mavic 3

I don't understand why this would be so expensive. I purchased two recovery systems for my Mavic 3 Cine from Flyfire. I just checked and they are currently $361, each. I felt they were inexpensive enough to have a back-up for long operating situations where I couldn't be waiting to recharge a depleted unit. Manti 3 Plus Drone Parachute DJI Mavic Series
The Flyfire is not Transport Canada compliant for thr Mavic 3 Cine you cannot fly over people with it in Canada, where you appear to be based.

The only compliant parachute for your drone here is made by ParaZero.
 
As stated in 2022 I was one of the first to have one of these, but the DRIFT was the downfall for me and had a pretty good scare as my flight started over the River and tree but when I engaged the bot , drifted on to the highway. Be interesting to see how they solved the winds.

Sadly you are correct and thanks for alerting me to this. At the time I purchased these units it was because they were certified on the Transport Canada list of drones. Unfortunately it appears they have been removed.

That's so odd. Perhaps reach out to TC and ask what happened? They're usually pretty responsive, every time I've emailed they've gotten back to me fairly quickly.

Any updates on the Manti 3 now? Since it is Chinese company the new FAA covered list most likely prohibits this product. This is a major shame since it costs $259 now but a Safeair for Mavic 3 listed only is $1600! In theory the Chinese tariff is 170% meaning the true cost of Manti 3 could be more from 10-40% making the cost anywhere from $285 - $440. Still much cheaper. I have heard that they did not get their ASTM documentation so flying over people or cleared by FAA is not possible making this not viable for any commercial work, still it is handy though if you can even get one in the USA. Canada I am sure it is easier. I am reaching out to the company as well to see if I can get any answers on ASTM documentation.
