Prop guards are a must have for any skill level because they greatly mitigate the damage to the props caused by the nuisance bumps and nicks that WILL happen even to the most skilled drone pilot.I give overall Quality a 4. The guards feel thick and sturdy and not at all "flimsy" as some others have stated. They are heavier than the branded DJI prop guards for the P3. I take off one point because they feel a little rough and unfinished. However, the fact that the red guards give a larger visual reference to the front of the vehicle is extremely useful.Installation is quick and intuitive. I take no points off because there are no instructions - none are needed. Its like saying that you take off points when reviewing a pair of shoes because they didn't come with instructions. If you're intelligent enough to figure out how to fly and control a drone, you don't need instructions to install these. It took less than 10 minutes for all 4. And YES, the installation screws are a different size but they included all tools required for installation.The ease of removing the guards is invaluable to ensuring portability. You can have the props and guards on or off in under one minute. And finally, I did not perceive any performance degradation or flight characteristic changes.

All the Bugs Worked Out, Very Easy to Install and Use.
Very well packaged and great attention to detail. I was slightly skeptical after reading other reviews, but as of October 2015, mine came with two sets of screws, each labelled, one for Phantom 1 and 2, and the other for the Phantom 3. Next pleasant surprise was that there were two Allen wrenches included, one to remove the original phantom motor mount screws, and the other larger size for installing the new mounting screws for the Phantom 3 (the one I bought). I also skeptically checked the length of the news screws and they were exactly the correct length when adding the depth of the new prop guard mounts, so no trouble at all installing. There were also 18 screws, not just the required 16 in my Phantom 3 bag, nice touch. Upon removing the original Phantom screws, I noticed a very small amount of blue Loctite at the distal tip of the threads, so put a similar small dab of blue (medium) Loctite on the new screws. When installed, the fit was perfect for the original blades for the Phantom 3 Professional. (I did not use the cord to connect the outsides of the individual prop guards.) I kept the original screws if I decide I don't need the prop guards in the future. Great option for me as a new Phantom user.

Debateable
I like these for their purpose. They are designed for a better descent than ascent I'm assuming. I did however have a 10 MPH wind the day I tested these and I did notice a definite loss of control. Not too bad but noticeable on a windy day for sure. I realize that these are for more of an indoor flying condition perhaps, but I need mine because I live around a lot of trees and I did have a couple crashes that I believe these would have helped. Once It was a flat surface then it was actual limbs. I like the way the drone looks now. It looks bolder and heavier without a huge amount of actual added weight. Over all I like them, but I did notice a difference in the sound of the motors in flight. The motors sound more strained in flight, probably due to drag coefficient and added weight, with these added. I don't really like that part, but overall I think these are good for their purpose.

Awesome money-saving accessory for P3P or P3A. Screws are NOT too long!
I purchased these prop guards for my brand new DJI Phantom 3 Professional quadcopter. I was a bit hesitant to install them because a few reviewers on Amazon complained that the long screws included in the Summitlink package were too long and damaged the P3P motors.However, the prop guards fit perfectly on my quadcopter, and the screws are NOT too long (even when fully tightened). The guards are a bit annoying to install because you have to remove 16 screws from the chassis, but once they're on, they fit very snugly and are rock solid. The build quality is good: I tipped my drone yesterday because I tried to land on a slanted surface, and the prop guards saved the copter from a potentially very expensive impact.A side note: after installation is complete, it may appear as though the angle of the motors has been altered (normally, the four motors point outwards slightly to increase stability). However, as long as all 16 screws are tightened firmly, the motor mounting system will prevent the motor angle from changing. Just something to keep in mind.Get this for your P3P or P3A. You won't regret the purchase, and the quick disconnect system is awesome. Would recommend! It's worth spending $30 on these prop guards - it could save you hundreds of dollars in the case of a simple tip-over or tree encounter.

A MUST regardless of skill level
I've been flying DJI Phantom since DJI Phantom 1. To date, I've owned three DJI Phantoms and this is the first DJI Phantom that I have installed props guards on. I intentionally didn't install prop guards previously because they made the DJI Phantom 2 or DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus too large to fit inside of a carrying case. These prop guards are EXCELLENT because they quickly snap off without tools! It's easy to land the DJI Phantom 2 and have the prop guards disconnected a few seconds later. These prop guards pay for themselves by saving propellers! Even the most skilled DJI Phantom pilots damage props unexpectedly upon landing. These also help to reduced prop damage while bumping into an object unexpectedly during flight. The quick-disconnect piece remains attached below the four motors. Installing that piece was a simple process. It's just a matter of replacing the factory DJI screws with the longer screw that stick through the quick-disconnect piece. These prop guards have not degraded the flight dynamics of my DJI Phantom 2 in any way and the red color pieces are great! I mounted them on the front of the DJI Phantom 2 to function as a visual way to see which end is the front of the Phantom. I'll never fly a DJI Phantom without these prop guards! I'm so glad that these prop guards were brought to market!
