That's interesting... there was a filter review on PhantomPilots for the nd filters on the P3p. Taco Rc filters compared pretty favorably with Polar pro at about half the cost. I ordered from Taco Rc through Amazon. I had no problems getting them. I have no complaints with the filters. They even came with a case. YMMV

I am very mixed on this decal set...... I do like it.... However it does look like a bunch of decals stuck on the Mavic.

You know what... I am the same way! I swear I saw everyone sticking [emoji90] all over their Phantoms and it looked horrible.

I love the stock look of most things!

With that being said... I don't like the dark gray. I would have preferred a white Mavic or something, or totally black?

So I thought for $20 what the hell. Might as well try it out. They peel off? It's not permanent!

Here's the finished product!

[emoji102] at this way! Which is the way I look at it, where I live it's the [emoji266] it's all dusty all the time... I got tired of it looking dusty.

So I see this as a protective cover, like a case on my phone.

These stickers are precise and very high quality vinyl.

Personally I like it, I think I did it I would just put it on the body and not the whole drone, but I like what you did it looks great to me.

Did you heat these up when you applied them ??

No... I put them on, then used a blow dryer to work the bubbles or where it didn't fit smoothly.

I had to shrink a few joints where it puffed up a little.

Love the bright, recognizable color. I will be flying my MP next week over 1000's of acres of forest in Cumberland TN, and if it goes down, I'm sure I'll never find it (visually) with its dark grey color. This orange would make it stick out like a flashlight.

One other question - is the orange visible from the underside? IOW, if it lands on its top, could you still see orange?

It's not on the bottom of the bird, but wrapped around the legs. So technically yes it is

Looks like "Mavic made by KTM". Like the look. Think KTM motorcycles have given me an acquired taste for the color orange.

I like it

Now im starting to think hey...if you had this and put small strips of glint tape on it you could find your drone easily in dark. Does it affect battery life? And when is the high capacity battery coming [emoji102]

Orange is nice!! Makes it easier to spot. I have to admit, the mavic is a stealth drone - looks and presence. No one bats an eye when you fly it. I think everyone thinks its a cheapo-kiosk-sold quad.

Anyways.. I wanted red. I rushed and got the china made ones instead. That same night, Taco RC had red on their listing.

I like this and.....I'm stealing it!

Personally I don't care for it, but different strokes you know, but I will say you did an excellent job of applying them, very professional looking, cudo's!
