Personally, I'd rather use CA when flying outdoors. Prop guards are not going to protect your Phantom from crashing into tree branches or hitting an obstacle when returning home. They would be useful for indoor flights though.Who needs CA if you have prop guards?
GOOD GOD. DJI MARKETING, LEARN HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO. What was that. It was like a single frame bad slideshow. And I actually am buying those so I wanted to watch the video but that TERRIBLE, AWFUL stock county guitar made me want to punch my computer.DJI has released prop guards for the Phantom 4. See more details here. Keep in mind that the collision avoidance features will be automatically disabled when using prop guards.

DJI did not make that video. Regardless, it does show how they work -- which is why I referenced it aboveGOOD GOD. DJI MARKETING, LEARN HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO. What was that. It was like a single frame bad slideshow.
Lol! Oh man. Did you do it and I said all that. First off, after I made myself laugh, I went back and looked at it and the music was actually nice. I was just being irritable for a second and goofing around. It does show what it does and I'll buy them because of you so thanks. Production value for a dude sitting at his computer has a MUCH lower bar.DJI did not make that video. Regardless, it does show how they work -- which is why I referenced it above
No. I don't know who owns the video.Lol! Oh man. Did you do it and I said all that.
Oh, then back to my original statement. I HATE THAT VIDEO.No. I don't know who owns the video.
Lol @ JussaguyOh, then back to my original statement. I HATE THAT VIDEO.
But I like the idea of the pop and lock prop guards. Thing is, I don't EVER use guards and yet I always buy the accessory for every bird.

It's a good point but they are made to protect you from tapping into something. Not made to prevent a crash. If you crash, you're probably pretty screwed and I agree this won't help and will probably make it worse.The good is they are quick connect. The bad is you know what's going to happen in even a mild crash. Either the guards are going to break since they are barely attached by just a thin sliver of plastic, or worse the slot on the end of the arm will bust off.
