I only see the use of prop guards if you are flying indoor.
Or if you are a beginner who hasn't really flown a quad before. But then you shouldn't be flying a Phantom if you have no prior experience flying a quad, should start out with a cheaper learner quad e.g. Syma X5C-1, because you WILL crash it.

Well for some folks (certainly nobody here, I'm thinking more like government personnel) the Tile would at least help them to find their *** ...... with only 'one' hand!!

Why should we be ashamed of using prop guards if we are not confident of flying and why should we need to show off that we are experienced? Who cares? You should enjoy flying it, don't bother how others think. You have spent money and not them. Do what you feel is right for you.
One might need prop guards for landing on uneven surfaces or flying close to the objects or identifying the forward direction without looking at the radar.

Prop guards took the brunt of my fall from 30 feet up and as a result I only lost 2 carbon fiber props, 1 prop guard, a tear in my decal, and minor damage to a body clip. I like the quick release guards, makes packing and toting a breeze.
They do have a purpose, especially until one comes very proficient in flying and not running into things

I can debate that. I fell from 50feet with no prop guards and none of the props have been damaged and body was still in one piece.
prop guards good if you are flying between trees and where there are so many walls etc. but in open field, pilot should know the capabilities of its drone. prop guards cannot protect your drone in fact it increases your vulnerability as your responses go slower and body getting getting wider.
I totally agree. I bought the expensive DJI hardshell backpack. It's frustrating because it can't adapt to accessories. Wish I would have bought a regular backpack with a foam insert or something with pockets to add all the extras on. Too often I forget something because it won't fit in the DJI case.
Prop guards are good if you accidentally bump into something and your drone tumbles. You will probably use them less than you think flying in open spaces. If you get them, make sure you get the kind that snap on/off. The DJI ones require you to spend 20min screwing them all on/off every time.
Just wanted to know if you meant that in a derogatory way suggesting that a woman are naturally inferior drone pilot? And if not, what exactly do you mean by it.

It's obvious to me that he doesn't mean anything by it, he was being playful! Lighten up!
