Anyone who owns a drone knows just how important it is to protect their investment, especially if that drone is a DJI Mini 3 Pro. That’s why I decided to try out the Holotap 3-in-1 accessory kit. It has all the necessities for drone ownership, including a propeller guard, landing gear, and a paddle strap. In this product review, I’ll share my personal experience with the product, as well as my overall thoughts and recommendation.
Propeller Guard
I came across the Holotap accessory kit while searching for ways to protect my DJI Mini 3 Pro. While the kit includes a plethora of protective gear, I was particularly interested in the propeller holder strap. In the past, I’ve previously experienced some challenges with propellers jostling around in transit. I’m happy to say that I’ve since been impressed by this kit’s capabilities.
The guard protects the propellers and improves flight safety, especially for beginners. Even if you consider yourself a pro, that doesn’t mean that you should just write this off. The guard is also pretty helpful when flying indoors or in crowded spaces. It’s easy to install and remove, too, and doesn’t affect the drone’s performance or maneuverability. Basically, there’s no reason not to invest in it. The material is also pretty lightweight and strong, so you don’t have to worry about the effectiveness of its protection. It gets the job done!
Landing Gear
Ever wondered why your drone’s camera remains still, even as it twists and turns? That’s because of the gimbal. This crucial part of your device keeps everything smooth and steady. Damage it, and your drone will never be the same. So, how do you make sure it remains intact? Well, the gimbal is most likely to be damaged during takeoff or when landing.
That’s where this kit’s landing gear comes in. If you own a DJI Mini Pro 3, you’ll want to hear this. The landing gear effectively increases the distance between the drone and the ground by 21mm to prevent damaging the gimbal when taking off or landing. Like the propeller guard, the landing gear has an easy installation process, and is made of material that’s both lightweight and strong.
It’s important to note that installation is slightly more difficult than the other accessories in this kit, though not by much. That was something we noticed from the Amazon reviews, though it’ll differ from person to person. Overall, though, the landing gear is pretty solid. With this accessory, you can take off and land your drone safely and confidently, knowing that your gimbal and sensors are protected.
Propeller Holder
The propeller holder included in this kit is a must-have accessory. The holder is designed to keep the propellers in place during transportation, preventing them from moving and potentially breaking. The soft silicone paddle strap will not scratch or squeeze the fuselage or blades, and the plastic hard shell wrapping chassis design effectively protects the bottom of the drone. Trust me — it’ll fit your drone like a glove. I especially appreciated the soft silicone paddle strap that didn’t scratch or squeeze the fuselage. Like the rest of the kit, its installation is straightforward, though you can always contact the manufacturer if you encounter any issues.
Pros:
- The propeller holder strap prevents potential damage to the drone during transportation.
- The propeller guard increases flight safety, especially for beginners and indoor flying.
- The landing gear protects the bottom cameras, IR sensors, and antenna during takeoff and landing.
- The propeller guard, landing gear, and propeller holder strap can be installed and removed quickly and easily, without the need for any special tools or equipment.
Cons:
- Some users may find the accessories unnecessary or overpriced.
- The propeller guard may add weight to the drone and affect flight performance.
- The landing gear may make the drone less stable in high winds.
Conclusion
At this point, I think we can all agree that protecting your DJI Mini 3 Pro is essential. The Holotap 3-in-1 accessory kit is an excellent way to do so. I’d highly recommend this product to any DJI Mini 3 Pro owner who wants to ensure the longevity of their drone. Of course, there are some drawbacks, as there are with any product. However, they’re (thankfully) minimal. The only one I noticed was that the landing gear made it slightly more challenging to fit the drone in my carrying case, but this was only a minor inconvenience for me.
Overall, I found the Holotap 3-in-1 accessory kit to be an excellent addition to my DJI Mini 3 Pro. It provided the protection I was looking for, and the lightweight design didn’t add any extra burden when carrying my drone in my backpack.
