Buy these! One accident will pay for itself in new props. Phantom 4 props at $9-$10 for a set of two will cost $20 total to replace all four.. Save money now and invest upfront!
PROS:
-Excellent design, quality, and durability.
-Red and White combination is perfect for new and experienced pilots alike. It helps to know which way is forward, thereby reducing accidents and inadvertent control stick movements.
-Will not interfere with the Phantom 4 obstacle avoidance system.
-No messing with removing the factory clear clip that the OEM prop guards require you to remove for installation. You will eventually lose or misplace them over time!
-Easy "clamp and click" installation requiring no tools, only that the props be removed before installation.
-Relatively easy, quick removal. See cons below.
-These guards only weigh 112 grams total. Not a huge weight considering they are providing you protection and peace of mind.
-These guards stand well clear of the propellers (see photo) thereby reducing any accidental contact with a spinning prop.
-Even during gusty winds aloft, these guards held on well and you could definitely see the quad's guards moving around while the gimbal kept the shot steady. In other words, since you can see the guards in the camera, it's a great reminder and cool to see how well the Phantom 4 maintains its position and at the same time produced superb camera stability!
CONS:
-The four clip connectors on each guard could easily release, even in flight, causing vibration in the quad. I had 1 of 4 detach (on a single guard) but not all four at once. Triple check that they are ALL fastened securely prior to takeoff. Those that popped loose without me knowing caused no harm during my flights. You can usually tell when one is loose because the prop guard will sit at a slight angle. I did get vibration on the cement before takeoff with all of my clips fastened securely but this disappeared immediately after takeoff.
- Clips holding the prop guards should be thicker and more robust as well as having a larger "clip" tab that locks everything in place. Although it didn't happen to me, I could easily see the four plastic interlocking tabs on each of the four prop guards break over time or if proper care is not taken during storage of the detached prop guards.
In conclusion, all in all I am super satisfied with these guards and they exceeded my expectations. As said before, invest in these and save yourself money down the road in replacement props...especially if you are just learning!
