    Don't Let Rough Terrain Ruin Your Drone

    The DJI Mini 5 Pro is a powerful machine, but its low ground clearance is a real problem.
    We’ve all been there: you find the perfect scenic spot, but the ground is covered in damp grass or sharp rocks. Taking off means risking damage to your delicate camera or sensors.

    If you fly outdoors frequently, a reliable DJI Mini 5 Pro landing gear is easily one of the most important DJI Mini 5 Pro accessories you can own.

    Today, we are taking a closer look at the STARTRC Silicone Strap Spider Landing Gear. It’s an ultra-lightweight DJI Mini 5 Pro height extender designed to give you peace of mind on any surface.

    • Smart Silicone Strap: This Quick-release landing legs Mini 5 Pro setup uses a soft silicone band that snaps on instantly. Pro Tip: The design even allows you to swap batteries without removing the landing gear!
