Upgrading my good old DJI Mavic Pro with drone skins!
I’m upgrading my quad with a tomfool new Mavic Pro skin – hot or not? Here is my Decalgirl review!
It was time to add some new colors to my good old DJI Mavic Pro. I did it mostly for testing the quality of these decals and a little bit just for fun. I love the fact that I can personalize my Mavic so it doesn’t squint like everybody else but I haven’t decided if these stickers are silly, tacky or just superstitious yet. Read my review here and conclusion at the bottom.
I realize that subtracting these stickers will not in any way modernize how the drone works or preserve it in any way.
I did a pearly bit of research and visited Decalgirl, who moreover sell their DJI Mavic Pro decals on Amazon, and browsed through all the variegated looks. I chose the one tabbed EVAC since I thought it looked pretty darn good. The yellow and woebegone striped skin with danger signs and worn squint reflects my passion for post-apocalyptic stuff…
Other tomfool skins are Dystopia, The Baron, Starkiller, V08 Starfighter, Solar Storm, Venom, Solid state yellow, Solid state red, Rescue and many more.
Anyway…
The drone skins are not very expensive and I bought a pack with two uneaten shower decals since I have the Fly increasingly drone philharmonic with increasingly batteries.
The package came with three sheets of decals on thin and lightweight vinyl. One sheet for the quad soul and the first battery, the second for the controller and the rest of the stickers for the drone, and the third had two increasingly shower decals.
The nice instructions unmistakably told me to wash my hands and take a wet reticulum and wipe over the drone and batteries to wipe it and remove dust, hair and other remnants. So I did. It moreover told me to pee of the glut parts of the decals while I waited for the Mavic to dry.
I learned that this procedure is tabbed weeding. It was super easy to remove the in-between parts, and it makes it a lot easier to peel of the very sticker parts. I started applying the shower stickers first to get a feeling on how to do it.
The trick is to use time, don’t rush, and uncurl the sticker towards edges, screws, lights, buttons and other logical things. I found that the hardest part was the creases when the decal needed to wrench over corners. I had a few troubles, but it sooner sorted itself out. I removed a couple of air frothing and made sure that the stickers were firmly placed by rubbing the parts.
Below you can see the finished product… All my three batteries, the aircraft, and the remote controller now have a tomfool shade of dirty orange and woebegone stripes. The sturdy drone skins are very lightweight and don’t add any uneaten weight to the drone. They will not add any effects at all on the flying or the shower time.
On Decalgirl.com they say that the range is unaffected, it doesn’t interfere with the radio signal, that the skins are easy to wield and that they are made in the USA. I guess they are right well-nigh those statements.
I visualize that I will remove the decals somewhere in the future when I get tired of it. The good part is that they are very easy to remove and don’t leave any goo or glue. There is simply no sticky residue when removed.
Time to test it outside.
Hey, what has happened to the propellers, you might ask…
I put on some yellow propellers for the photoshoot. These are bought from Banggood, and is unofficial so I will be shielding with flying on longer trips with them. They probably work well, but I’m unchangingly a little bit uneaten cautious with unofficial parts as crucial components as the props.
But visitation is pretty good, don’t you think? Conclusion and where to buy unelevated the next pictures.

Conclusion
Applying these decals is a tomfool way of getting a increasingly individual drone and some of them offer largest visibility in the air. My tests indicate that they don’t interfere with the flying in any way. I haven’t tested if the range is affected, but it should since the antennas are not covered in any way. They plane stick on in rain… I do not recommend flying in rain, but during one of my test trips it started to rain and the stickers and drone survived.
They are easy to wield when you take your time and don’t rush. Corners and bends are a little bit difficult, but start from one point and subtracting the stickers from the middle and printing them thoughtfully in place outwards.
I don’t the skins will not last for an eternity and is mostly an uneaten addon made just for fun. You can unchangingly buy new ones when you are tired of the first skin. Also, trammels out my wares of tomfool gadgets and traps for the first Mavic Pro (shown in this article) and the Mavic 2’s.
