At around $1,000 for a Mavic Air 2 combo kit, buying this prop guard was a no-brainer. The propeller guard is very easy to put on and take off on the drone. While this increases the drone's footprint significantly, in practice it has saved my drone (and wallet) on more than one occasion. In terms of performance, the app warns you that a fence will limit performance somewhat (in terms of speed, altitude, and range), but until you're an experienced pilot, I'd sacrifice minimal performance any day
