Prop Guard Protective Plugs?

[KMixson]

Does anyone know where I can get the little protective plugs that go on the ends of the arms on a Phantom 4 Pro? They are the clear lens type plugs that cover the slot that the prop guards plug into. I have tried to look them up but I don't even know the correct name for them to look them up. I can find the round LED lens caps but not the plugs. I have tried searching to no avail.

Is this what you are after?

No. Those are motor covers. I am after the little clear plastic lens that goes on the end of the arm that is in place when the prop guards are not in use. When you install the prop guards you remove the plastic lens covers, if that is what they are called. It will fly fine without them but I lost one and would like to replace it. Here is a picture of one.

Lots of resources here.

It may not be available from DJI. I don't know.

Possibly from a 3rd-party repair house, etc., that has recycled parts available???

@KMixson Did you manage to find spareparts for this? I’m in the same situation as you, lost one and need to find a supplier...


Basen on a Youtube clip by DJI support the correct name is ”protective plugs”

I don't know what size you need but you should be able to find something on eBay, like this...

Unfortunately I don’t think those will work, as you can see on the picture posted earlier in the thread and in the video the shape is very different. Im looking for something that matches the design of the original parts

 

[RunningWithScissors]

Sorry. If you can't find them, someone should be able to print some. Good luck.

If you can't find what you're looking for anywhere else, these folks may be able to match something from stock based on dimensions...

I didn't manage to find them anywhere. They do not sell them anywhere that I could find.

Did you ever find them? I’m in the same situation, just need 1. Thank you!

I am looking for one too

I’m still waiting for DJI for a response if they will send me one. They are definitely not a part you can buy. I called a lot of drone repair shops and they either don’t have them or if they do they can’t sell them. The shops usually get them only with crash repair kits that only come from DJI and the kit cost is around $450. There are probably thousands out there, but nobody wants to sell them or their not allowed to sell them because there is no part number. The only advice I got from most shops is search for crashed/water damaged phantom 4 or 4 Pro online. They are more valuable than gold!

Hey, maybe just take them all off and forget about them. You will remove a tiny amount of weight and the phantom will look cleaner.

It actually does look better with them all out imo! Also if you look at the original box the Phantom 4 Pro came in, the big main photo doesn’t have them installed. It was almost like they were an after thought. Maybe why they don’t have a part number for them and nobody knows what they are really called. Plastic plug, protective plug! There is one on eBay for sale from China called Top Shell Protective Cover Transparent Buckle Lock. It might be the only chance to find/buy one! Something about my OCD that can’t let it go lol.

 

[Matt j]

This is the original Box photo show them not installed!

 

[Matt j]

I have listed my Phantom 4 Pro for sale on eBay, I just don’t have the time!

 

[Matt j]

This is DJI reply about the plastic plug. All I have to say is let’s waste time and money for a simple part that could be shipped out for my convenience! I find this ridiculous!

Just buy a cheap set of prop guards and cut the ends off.
