I haven't seen these posted yet so I figured I'd share a few pictures. On the B&HPhoto website they list these as aluminum when they are actually just molded plastic. They fit nicely, seem very sturdy and add 1.4 inches of clearance to the bottom of the quad. The rear props are now 2.75 inches above the ground and the front props are 4 inches above the ground.

Bought this set and they are crap.

The front pair are so loose fitting the drone would never make it home with them.

Ive decided I don’t need them anyway.?5F72C076-6A17-4C7C-A041-38B9F17708EF.jpeg
 
Would be interested to see those in the folded position as well as well and 'why' folding would make any logistical difference or the feature advantageous over the regular non-folding extender legs..? Thanks

Why not just hand launch and hand catch instead? Works great, and won't sandblast the lens or get dirt in the motors.
 
I used the PGYTECH leg extensions for the M2P all over on the MA2, which I had a 2nd set of and I am awaiting the foldable rear leg extensions for the MA2 to use on the MA2. The Front M2P work great with the MA2. The legs extensions I currently have on my MA2 came from my MPP. SO, in the end, I will leave the M2P foldable front leg extensions on and use the new MA2 foldables and I will have folding extensions on all legs.

I can think of so many reason's that I don't like landing gear legs like when my P3 tipped over landing in gusty winds... but...you know what Gadget?...I think we better give up...we're not going to convince em.;)

The landing gear on the P3 and MA2 are completely different and can't even really be compared to each other.

Hand catch can be tricky, but just hold your dominant hand out flat, with your other hand pull down the thumbstick and when it contacts your hand tilt it back just a tad to counterbalance.

Keep your fingertips just behind the gimbal cutout


Hand launch is too easy not to

you're right ...and at least because of the gimbal they were necessary on the P3 ;)
If you like them that's all that counts and they do make the drone more visible

I have these legs. The clip on is very easy but the push on and pull off takes a little patience and skill get the sweet spot to stay on but not be difficult to remove.
 
is the flight time affected by this? I mean they probably weigh like nothing but just curious since that's one of the main reasons I'm upgrading is the max flight time it gets. Cheers!

I don't know but they are very light. Lights are firehousetechnology
