I’d pass on this accessory. Learn to hand launch and catch and you don’t need to worry about debris. If there is a debris problem your gimbal needs to be protected as well so again might as well practice to hand launch and catch. It’s not hard. It just introduce higher risk of something on the motor. A slight imbalance. Slight temperature increase. Slight more effort on the motor.

If the weight of the mini exceeds 249 grams after adding these or any other accessories, it then needs to be registered with Transport Canada.

For the average person and unlicensed user, this is a big problem.

Although the variables are negligible and it may not impact the life of the motors of the drone, there are some undeniable facts. 1 - You are adding weight overall to the drone and resistance to the rotation of motors. Both will in fact use up more power. 2 - You are restricting the possibility of debris from getting in the motor. This will restrict the airflow as well. Although I appreciate you making the video, I believe one could outweigh some of the possible variables. Flurries and/or rain drops, shouldn't really be detrimental to these brushless motors but debris such as dust, dirt & sand will. Landing pads, hand takeoffs & landings, will avoid most of these issues. At the end it would definitely be interesting on getting feedback from an engineer.

As a fellow DJI Mini pilot... & therefore one of the brotherhood of the air, obviously-😁-I shared your concern of overheat-but that was not the first thought that had struck me… The first one and most immediate, I put them on the scale, they weigh several grams (I was not where at this point that I should probably think about the engines cooling system as the factory builds it; and how can I not impede that systems efficienies; however, today I decided to first add the landing gear that folds up, which we did and worked great lifted like it was nothing. Then added carbon fiber wings... much heavier about double the weight plus like .02 or whatever..... but, much more rigid, much much much stronger. Blades feel like glass, is how I would describe it. If glass were very very very very very hard.. but it could flex JUST A LITTLE BIT...but when you do, you can really bear down on trying to snap one and me nor my girl could get it. Amazing piece of technology... would recommend. I’ve only got a few minutes flight hours on these props but can keep updated if you reply. Appreciate your time and this was an amazingly well planned, written, executed-produced and recorded video, you have amazing quality videos. Love your presentation style and direct delivery.

Not necessarily. I actually saw a video from another channel where he went through a crash he had with his Mini 2. Long story short: flying with string winds after snowing. Right afther the crash, the motors were not spinning. After a couple tries, they went back in working order. In the end the most likely cause of the crash was moisture building up inside the motors, maybe due to snowflakes being sucked in there. Moreover, the issueis not only when the motors are on, but rather once you turn them off and there's dust/sand/snow or any other kind of dirt drifting about. I'm still concerned about these covers though. Yed he did test it, but not in an escenario where i can see the drone having to force the motors even more than necessary due to those caps (like if there's strong wind or if the temperature outside is really hot)

The problem with this video is that you removed the propeller screws and didn’t replace with new screws and propellers. The screws that you removed have loctite on them and since you removed them you broke their bond. By putting them back on the drone you now run the chance of having the screws come loose and eventually losing the propeller causing the drone to crash. If you’re going to put those guards, either replace the loctite on the bottom of the screws or have a new set of screws and propellers handy, otherwise great review.

If you're re-using the screws you've broken the Loctite bond. You're supposed to use the replacement screws.

i have reused the screws without probs. did around 100 hours flight and they are still solidly screwed in.i dont worry about putting new screws every time i change props. just check them (screws) ever 30 mins flight time

How do you feel about the Mavic mini. Is it as good as the Mavic pro or close to it. Thank you for sharing.

I wonder what would be the motor coil temperature after the flight ! I think it's the coil that heats up rather than the outer cover ! If you can measure the coil's temperature it would be more helpful ! Thankyou for the video

Those are really nice! I will have to pick up the red ones! Nice review and you got another subscriber here! Oh, the link you posted for the motor covers on amazon USA they said currently unavailable. :( I found some more doing a quick search. Thanks for the review and have a Happy New Year!!

Thanks so much. I was just today thinking about ordering some motor caps, but wasn’t sure what impact they might have...perfect timing for your video. Thanks.

propellereads screws are sealed in place with a sort of a glue, I don't think removing them and then put them back is a good idea.

Yes, if you take the screws out they are gone. You should use new ones.

I bought these. They stopped my props from being able to swing back and forth. So I could not fold my drone anymore. I don't think the holes were big enough to allow the props to move loosely. There is nothing to keep the caps from slopping around. The prop screw is way thinner than the two cap holes so the screw isn't keeping them on, so what else is there? Well it's the bottom of the part of the prop that screws on (the hole on the prop the screw goes through. The props bottom out on the cap holes and it stops the props from swinging back and forth freely to fold the drone.

I think the way to do the test is not like that, do the test by actually flying outside with temperature conditions outside of 30 degrees Celsius I am sure it will be hotter than without a cover ...SALAM UDARA....

You might actually be surprised how freaking hot motors get just hovering. Without the extra wind passing the windings when flying around, things heat up quick, an stay hot.

Laser thermometers cannot give you a proper reading on shiny surfaces. Needs to be mat and dark. The real temp was probably 5 or 10 degrees more.
