Flywoo Flytimes 85 Removable Propguard
If your on the fence between the Flytimes and Flylens 85 or don't want to see propguards in your recordings this is the right model for you. This propguard design lets you instantly transform your Flytimes 85 between cinewoop and freestyle modes while keeping a completely clear camera view.
Key Features
- Lightweight: Only 2.5g added weight (81.5g → 84.0g total without battery)
- Tool-free installation: Easy snap-on/off design for quick switching between indoor and outdoor flying
- Camera-friendly: Stays completely out of camera view unlike the stock TPU wire guard
- Optimized protection: Closely follows prop diameter for minimal gaps, unlike the stock square guard that leaves huge spaces around the entire drone
- Versatile flying: Remove for freestyle outdoors, install for proximity/indoor flying
Why This Design?
The stock TPU wire guard is flimsy, easily snags on branches, intrudes into the camera frame, and creates a large square perimeter with excessive gaps around the props. This PETG design provides superior protection by closely tracking the prop arc, eliminating wasted space while maintaining the clean camera view that makes the Flytimes 85 special.
Perfect for pilots deciding between the Flylens 85 and Flytimes 85 - now you can have both capabilities in one drone!
Print Settings
- Material: PETG (recommended)
- TPU: Too flexible for proper protection
- PLA: Too brittle, may crack during installation
- Supports: None
Installation
- Remove the original TPU prop guard and all 8 mounting bolts - they are no longer needed
- Keep the aluminum arm extensions in place - these become the mounting points for the new propguard
- Gently flex the new guard to snap onto the aluminum extensions. The design allows for easy removal without tools when you want to switch to freestyle mode.
