6 Reasons to Buy Propeller Guards for your DJI Phantom 2 Vision

October 4, 2014 by Alan Phillips 3 Comments

visionpropguardPropeller Guards are a must for your new DJI Phantom 2 Vision. Here’s why:

1. Safety, Safety, and Safety – You can find plenty of videos on YouTube of bloody fingers, hands, and arms which resulted from drone propeller accidents. The propeller guards make it much less likely this will happen to you or, more importantly, to an innocent bystander.

2. Enhanced Recovery – Your Phantom is less likely to get caught in a tree. The guard helps deflect the drone after a collision.

2. Easier to Carry – You now have something to grab on to (not while the drone is on!) and protect the props should you drop it.

3. Increased Visibility – You can see your Phantom from a greater distance. The increased size makes it much more visible.

4. Better Landing Protection – Your Phantom will eventually land on its side. But with the guards, the props are protected.

5. They Look Cool – The “coolness” factor is increased!

6. They are inexpensive. Check them out

Check out this video from HyperVision Australia that runs down the pros and cons of prop guards:
