Mavic Air long legs

thingiverse

Mavic Air is an amazing thing but if operating from grass, longer legs aren't optional, they are essential! These legs give 63mm more ground clearance than the original stock legs give. They are designed to be lightweight and easy to fit and remove. They can be stowed easily in the standard DJI flymore shoulder kit bag. I intend to use some rubber O rings to the motor booms to slide over the rectangular part of the cups to ensure they cannot possibly fall off in flight, yet still be easy to fit and remove. The O ring size that seems ideal is 1.6mm thick by 19mm outside diameter. Please ensure the rings are not positioned too close to the motor spinning case! When the legs are removed the rings can stay on the booms. Move them so they don’t foul the booms when folding the machine. Keeping weight to a minimum is important. Whilst the machine is very powerful and can lift a surprisingly large weight, any weight added will reduce flight duration to some degree as more power will need to be used in order to lift and maintain a hover. My air weighs (ready to fly) 436g before adding the legs (on my kitchen scales). I used transparent PLA during the design process as it usefully enables me to see how well the cups are fitting etc. Once the development is finalised I might make them in a different colour. Please see the printing instructions below which are constantly changing still. This is a work in progress. If you download it early, that’s fine but please do keep checking back here for any further updates. The STL files have not been changed since initial release, yet. Still at V1.0 thus far at least.
