Which Mavic wrap should I get?

[Fotomatt1]

I've been considering putting a vinyl wrap on my mavic to give it a custom look. Just curious which ones everybody has had the best luck installing or have the best overall fit? Been looking at Dronewrap and Decal Girl. Any others I should consider? Thanks in advance!

I have heard from another post here and on the DJI forum that wraps are ok unless it's made from carbon fiber. DJI has a warning that CF wraps can interfere or something along those lines.

Hey Rob,
I believe your referring to the type of vinyl with the metallic type of coatings. those can cause interference with GPS and the compass.
I believe only certain ones do it though. Some skins use a plastic imitation metal look that are safe to use.

Good catch! Yep that's exactly what I was talking about. So, when wrapping your Mavic, be careful what you wrap it with.

Are there any particular brands people like for the best fit / quality?

I sprayed mine with Plastidip just to help with visibilty, I have a cutter but didn't feel like spending so much time applying stickers

Read up on this thread. It will give you a idea of what others are using.

Interfere with what?

Interfere with what?

GPS and/or compass signal.

I bought a multicam skin from Decal Girl for $25. Everything fits fine and it looks cool. I've had it on for a few months and the skin hasn't peeled up or come off; still looks good.

It doesn't interfere with the GPS or RC signal that I can tell as it flies the same and goes just as far as it always has.

Any pictures? As @Drone Master said, I think the skins that had a metallic type of coating could possibly cause interference. And we all know how sensitive our Mavic compasses are, even with a second one as redundant. Maybe the next Mavic will have 3 or 4 compasses lol

Here's some pics. My Mavic gives no errors nor do I perceive any interference and it performs as it always has with the skin.

That looks so nice!

Thanks bro. Skin comes with the main body skin and three battery skins.

I always throw on a mavic "magnum" cover before I fly, it's a perfect fit, and nobody's got pregnant yet!
Word to the wise, for all you noobs, don't fly unprotected.

Just put this wrap on my Mavic, it's the limited edition Coloration-X by dronewrap Japan.

Makes it easier to see in sunlight. Wonder if it'll help keep the birds away

Hey bro [emoji6]

Mine is from zapwrapz in U.K. Happy with the quality and the coverage and doesn't seem to affect flight in any way, I also like that it doesn't cover the mavic logo and gold stripes on arms
