Rick, I've 3d printed a set of land gear/ landing skids for my Mavic Mini. Snap into place, and They work like a charm doesn't interfere with flying and about 8g of added weight.
Hi Rick - I just purchased these. While the quality is great and it looks good the one bad thing is that when I go to fold the drone up the propellor holder will not snap on because of the extra space. I may not be explaining it well, but it's like trying to but a belt around a waist but you've put on some pounds and it will no longer fit. Does that make sense? Any suggestions? Thanks
Good idea to prevent damage to gimble, never occured to me how easy it looked to what could happen to the gimble... Defo worth getting the landing gear...
Just ordered these before watching this video and glad i did. Also just subscribed to your channel and a few others but must say your channel seems to be the best one so far. Keep up the great videos.
On amazon it says the Fenglintech landing gear it is for the mavic mini and doesn't mention the mini 2. Is it the same one that you put on your mini 2? Just checking before I order it.
Can you confirm those legs fit into the mini 2 case you sell on your site? It seems pretty tight, and the extension legs do add a little bulk to the legs. I had that problem with the Mini 1, and I have to remove the front legs every time to fit it properly into the Sunnylife case you sell.
This is def a must-have in your bag, it's better to have them than need them and not have them. I fly a bunch of different areas, and these are def worth it!!
Great video. I am kinda reluctant to purchase as have heard via Drone Club members that you have to sacrifice 3 mins battery time. Guess all down to preference.
John, thanks for the post but these landing gear add very little weight to the drone and have no noticeable affect on aerodynamics so I'm not sure where that stat came from. I can assure you that you could strap a GoPro onto the top of the quad and it wouldn't reduce the flight time by near that amount. These work, and the most important thing is that they protect your camera and gimbal from damage. I hope that helps, Rick
Wow, thanks Rick for your wisdom. I admit I am a rookie lol I live in Scotland, had a Mini 2 for a week now and can’t fly due to winds not dropping below 20mph. Love your Channel and will enjoy learning from the Master. ;-)
I have this kind of landing gear for my Mavic 2 Pro. Just one question, can you still get the strap on that hold the propellers in place, with the landing gear on? Great video Rick, another good product find.
Hey Rick, Great video's and love your enthusiastic reviews. One thing I have to mention about the landing gears. If i put them on the mini2, the original DJI propguard won't fit anymore and let the gimbal protector pops off. Is this correct or is there something i can change? Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hey all! IF you can heat the strap on the prop storage holder just "slightly" and then stretch it just a tad, it will then snap just fine. It only needs just a tiny bit of stretching to work. I used a heat gun on a low setting and the strap got nowhere near hot enough that I couldn't touch it but it did stretch.
Nice video and great presentation. You make a good argument for those add ons, but I opted for the sled design rather than the leg extensions. Makes the drone much easier to catch and your fingers are farther away from the props. Either system is just a snap on and great idea to help protect the drone. Thank you again for the informative video.
A landing pad beats landing gear hands down. 1. Adding gear to your MM2, increases its MOTM (maximum take-off mass) - and takes it out of the Open-A1 category (
Thanks for the post and I appreciate all of the details you added. I actually advocate for a landing pad and a set of landing gear. The reason is that even with a landing pad, the weight of most drones (Mini 2 as well) has them push down on the surface of the may and can still impede the motion of the gimbal and most nylon mats will also transfer the moisture. The Mini 2 weighs just about 243g with SD card and battery and this model of landing gear is 8g so it does put you over the limit but I also tell folks to register their quads either way since the cost in the U.S. is just $5 a year for all of the quads you fly. In other countries, the 250g is a bigger deal so always do what works best for you.
Rick thanks for the video on the landing gear one question does the landing gear take the mini 2 over its weight limit being that it is under the FAA weight limit thanks again your info is always very helpful Drone valley is the best 😀
You have to give me a little time to respond, we have a ton of emails and comments to handle. The prop holder that comes with the kit is stiff plastic that will stretch a little with use and will fit fine on the drone as it wears. Initially it's a very tight fit but we've been using one on each of our Mini 2's and they work great.
Winfield, it does put it over the limit when installed. The drone weighs 238g initially (with battery and memory card) and the Landing Gear adds 8g. I register all of my quads so it's not a big deal for us and well worth the protection.
I have the PGYTech landing gear and when I leave it on the Mini 2 I cannot use the DJI provided prop strap. The rear landing gear add just enough distance to prevent closure of the strap.
Jim, the DJI strap is tight and over time it does loosen up. The PGY set, which is one of the ones we tested, is a little larger than the one we choose. Ours are still tight but you can fit the DJI strap around it.
I just purchased this landing gear. The only thing I don't like about it is, with the landing gear on, it doesn't fit into my hard case and second the prop guard strap that came with the unit doesn't fit. First time seeing your video. Your an extremely fast talker!!!!
We tested 4 different cases and it fit fine in all of them With some of the hard cases you might need to enlarge the foam cutout a bit but that's east with an Exacto knife. As for the strap, it does stretch a little over time and will eventually fit the drone with the landing gear attached as it works in. I hope that helps and thanks for the post.
Sorry, I should of been more clear on my case. It's a PGYTech hard case. It's very tight with out the landing gear. If you are going to put anything else in the hood of that case, the drone doesn't fit. Not sure about your comment on stretching the straps. I'm sure it stretches some, but I'm short probably 1/4 to 3/8's of an inch. I'd be surprised if the rubber strap stretches that much over time. If it did, it would be unusable over time in the original configuration.
I'm getting these on amazon but I read afterwards someone mentioning that the strap for securing the blades won't fit around with these installed so I don't think I will use them if I have to take them on and off everytime
You can leave them on and the strap will loosen a little over time since it's a plastic material. When I first started using the strap it was hard to put on and really tight. As I used it a little more it stretched and fits fine now with the landing gear on the quad. The PGY models are a little larger than these and I'm not sure they will fit with the stabilizer attached.
Paul, sorry for the confusion. These add 8g of weight and we just corrected the listing. Our web guys got a little lazy and assumed they were the same weight as the Mavic Mini version and they are slightly lighter. I hope that helps and you grab a set, they work really well. Rick
Hello, I love watching you all the time. your my number one. I love you my good friend, I wanted to ask you one thing were did you get the R2D2 in your back wall i see bye the 8 Ball. I wish i could buy me one. I always wanted one so bad. thanks my Friend. I gave you a thumbs up 👆 .
Thanks for the post and your support. I'm glad you're enjoying the clips. I got the Droid at Disney, before Covid hit at their Star Wars park. It's a pretty amazing attraction. Stay tuned for more clips this week!
Since the total weight of the drone with the landing gear is greater than 249g, you will need to register the drone. What a hassle. I'm not doing it. Just get a landing pad. Minimize additional weight added. Who ever made the legs should aim to make them less than 7 grams.
Hi Rick, if you have some precision scales can you please weigh the DJI Mini 2 with and without the landing gear because I have heard people say that the real weight of Mini 2 is actually only 239 grams and NOT 249 grams. Great videos as usual, thanks a lot.
I just weighed the 2 we're flying and they are 238g each with a battery and SD card installed. The Landing Gear weighs 8g so it does put them over the 250g limit but it's not a big deal for me as we register all of our quads and the extra protection is well worth it.
Thanks for commenting but there are a ton of fliers that don't hand-launch and even if you do, there are times where you'll need to land somewhere if the wind kicks up so these save your camera and gimbal. I use them every time I fly and they've saved me a few times.
The wind is the variable that means the difference between a successful hand catch and sliced up fingers or palm. Everyone should make their own choices based upon their personal experiences.
@@gatorcreekfarm You know all these companies with their marketing techniques and such. If there weren’t enough morons in the world we wouldn’t need these accessories! As if we don’t buy enough unnecessary garbage as it is!!!
sorry sir, but you should not call this a review esp when you yourself are selling these. The various arguments that you make sound more of a scare tactic to push people into buying, rather than an unbiased review.
Thanks for the post but it's really a "chicken or egg" scenario. Like I mentioned in the clip, we test literally 20 items a month and when we find something we like and use, I review it on the channel. Unlike other channels that like to show items that don't really work well and then tell you how bad they are, we only review gear we use and can recommend after we've tested it. So it's not that we decided to sell it and then did a glowing review, it's more that we tested it, use it, and think it's a necessary item. When we find something like this, we offer it on the site so you know you're buying from someone local and you're actually getting the item we reviewed. We'll also be here to help if you have questions or issues after you buy it. I hope that helps explain our process. Either way, its a great product to protect your camera and gimbal and I've been using on on the Mavic series since the original Mavic Pro. And I reviewed one for that quad 3 years ago that we liked. Rick

Awesome product. Every drone should have it by default.

Hey Rick, does the prop guard still work with these on the Mini 2? Cheers
Never thought of getting these because I always use a landing pad but seeing how close the camera comes to the ground is making me rethink it.

Bought a set. Just what the drone needed!
I love your videos!
Excellent Review, and Excellent Equipment Accessories Manufacturer. Thank You.
Just got my landing kit from you guys...and its awesome. I love how it folds right up like nothing.
Hello, what’s about the weight...it exeeds the 249 grams in order to fly in A1 category ?
Just don't caught. But hey, don't you sometimes drive at 55 km/h in a 50 km/h zone?
@@jackmuraguri1836 I think we all do, but i think in this case, when something goes wrong, it will be cost a lot more than driving 5 km too fast
Can you velcro the ulanzi strobe to the bottom with out over heating implications👀
Yep, no worries at all and the new version of the strobe we carry is smaller and lighter than the last version. I appreciate you stopping by!
Can you confirm those legs fit into the mini 2 case you sell on your site? It seems pretty tight, and the extension legs do add a little bulk to the legs. I had that problem with the Mini 1, and I have to remove the front legs every time to fit it properly into the Sunnylife case you sell.

They look cool Rick but can you fold you mini 2 with them on as most cases won't take a mini 2 with legs extended. Thanks
Yep, you can fold up the legs and the drone fits fine in all of the cases we've tested. Thanks for the post.

Interesting. I'm going to try that.
1/16" - 1/8" at the most should do it!
With extensions on the propeller guard won't snap on. Do you know a work around to get guard on with extensions? thanks
I really like how you said there a drone catching up in the wind cause where I live is windy so I need that
So true Rick, i always put landing gear on all the drones i have hade. A must, i would say.

Can fit the propeller holder with it on ??
Great review...i purchased this as well. But now the propellor holder that comes with the mini 2 combo kit, does not fit anymore!!!
No reaction on this??

can you fold the drone back up with the landing kit or must you take it all off for it to fold
You can fold the drone closed with them on and they were designed to make that easy. Thanks for the post.
I have the PGYTech landing gear and when I leave it on the Mini 2 I cannot use the DJI provided prop strap. The rear landing gear add just enough distance to prevent closure of the strap.

Better to have it andd not need it than to need it and not have it.
Never seen a landing gear like that awesome
It works well and I use it on all of my drones. Thanks for the post!
That’s a good gadget for drone 🥰😍
Great Video 👍
Seems to be a long way to ship them to UK. I might have to find some locally!
Loads on ebay mate thats where I got mine from
Hi Rick. You mention that these add 8 grams weight but the purchase page states 9 grams. Can you please clarify. thanks

I want a set!!! But I live in the UK 🇬🇧. I can’t find a pair that matches these!!😤
Didn't mention the price? Still I think I'm going to order them. Thanks Rick. Always good to watch your videos.

Footnotes
1. The standard weight of the aircraft (including battery, propellers, and a microSD card) is 242 grams. Actual poduct weight may vary.
I just weighed the 2 we're flying and they are 238g each with a battery and SD card installed. The Landing Gear weighs 8g so it does put them over the 250g limit but it's not a big deal for me as we register all of our quads and the extra protection is well worth it.
@@Dronevalley 238+8 would still put it at 246g hence still bellow 250 g- Good news. Thanks
Looks like Alfred E. to the left on the shelf...
I've been a huge fan of Mad magazine since I was a kid and Alfred is up there to remind me of those younger days. I'm glad you spotted him!
Looks good but going over 250 grams ? No thanks
Jesus man, take a breath!

Most ridiculous accessory for a drone that can literally be launched from your hands!
