you don't necessarily want prop guards most of the time. they make the props less efficient, which decreases aerodynamic performance and battery life.
- DerekRobot 8y agoIMO, the Spark should come with them- DJI encourages users to launch and land directly on their hand.
- leetcrew 8y agothat's a fair point. you shouldn't encourage your customers to do something like that without including the bits of plastic that make it safe. that said, I got the combo bundle with rotor guards and I almost never use them because they make the drone so squirrelly in wind. I hand launch/land every time and I have yet to cut myself on the rotors. I was very happy to have them when I used the drone to check all my gutters for leaves, takes a lot of the stress out of flying so close to the roof.
