Thanks Ron! The NEO really protects its propellers well. I feel like the prop guards are mostly to protect fingers. I didn't bother to remove mine either. Making this video was the first time I removed them. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Steve! I'm in the "remove 'em" camp. Yea for performance, also, I'm a reasonably safe type - while not impossible to end up taking a hit, it's fairly unlikely. Took them off when I unboxed the Neo, and have actually never flown WITH them! That's not to say anyone should mimic livin' on the edge as I do, but I just don't feel any desire to have them on. Avata 2 doesn't wear "protection", and neither does Lil bro! Thanks Steve-O!
Thanks John! Haha! I agree with you. The propellers are really well guarded by the frame so the prop guards are likely superfluous. I just don't want to read the "you told me to remove them and my kid cut his finger off" comment. When it comes to safety stuff like that, I err on the side of caution. My NEO tends to get up close and personal with a lot of trees and foliage so for now I'm leaving them on. Flight time is definitely not long enough however I doubt I would even notice the minor difference removing the prop guards would make. Cheers!
Haha! Awesome! I haven't made a Sparky video since Oct 2022 - it was a TH-cam Short. I still fly it from time to time. It's just a fun drone! Thanks for stopping by and saying "hi". Greetings from British Columbia, Canada.
love the pink tip
Haven't "almost" lost it since. 😀 Cheers!
I've never removed the props guards either. But thanks for the tutorial if day ever comes. Great content.
