Hot Rod DJI Mini 2 Skin

3/5

The material it is made of is good.
But, the areas that are exposed are too many. The stickers are cut with too much margin and that makes them not fit very well. If you look from a distance everything seems correct, but if you look closely you see small bad details such as the corners lifting and peeling off, the areas where the sticker has to adapt to a curve do not fit and peel off. Also comment that there are several areas of the drone that are left without a sticker and it is ugly (the back legs, the loading area and sd card, the parts of the legs below.
In short, it could be a great product, but since it is not well adjusted, it is average to mediocre.

Hot Rod DJI Mini 2 Skin

Thank you for the feedback. We're happy that you like the Skin material but sorry to hear that your Skin started to peel.

These Skins will stick and generally outlast the lifespan of the device but this depends on the environmental factors that they're subjected to and how they were applied. Almost all (50 out of 52) of our Mini 2 Skin reviews were rated 5 stars; these customers would not have been happy if their Skin was peeling.

Our Skins come with a balanced adhesive that allows for easy application and goo-free removal. It is important that the Skin stays down and it is just as important that the Skin can be subsequently removed without damage to the drone. For example, if the Skin was "super glued" to the drone, it will stick well no matter the condition of the surface but it will not be removable.

The Skin adhesive does stick properly based on feedback from our other customers, but it is important to clean the device surface properly prior to Skin application. Drones in particular have to be cleaned well prior to Skin application because the surface can be dusty and oily, and this will adversely affect the ability of the Skin to stick properly.

Likewise, environmental factors, such as constant abrasion against the edge of the Skin, which is a similar action to peeling the Skin, and drone crashes, will inevitably result in the edge lifting. In addition, incorrect Skin positioning such that an edge overhangs the device edge will make these edges more vulnerable to peeling or damage. It's also possible the Skin adhesive might have been damaged during the Skin application process if you reapplied the Skin (peeling off and sticking again) too many times when positioning a piece.

The Skin was designed not to touch the surface edge on purpose as this ensures the longitivtiy of the Skin. Skins that are cut such that they reach the edges are much harder to apply as there is no margin for error and they may not stay on properly for long - such Skin edges will overhang if not applied with absolute robotic precision, will get caught up with use over time and are more likely to get lifted. This damages the Skin and will result in "corners lifting and peeling off".

There is supposed to be a very tiny gap between each Skin piece and the edge of the surface as shown on the product photo; the Skin is to be applied such that the "gap" is equal all around the Skin piece (Skin centered on the surface). If you pasted a Skin piece such that it is flush against one edge, this will result in more vulnerability at this Skin edge and a larger gap at the opposing edge.

Skin application on a drone can be complicated because of the extensive coverage and complex surfaces, especially so on curved surfaces. The Skin material is flexible and can adapt to curves, but it is very important that the surface is cleaned properly prior to application and the piece on the curved surface has to be pressed down hard.

We can get a complimentary Hot Rod DJI Mini 2 Skin made for you so that you can give this another go, and you just have to cover the ship cost to get the new package to you. If you would like to go for this replacement, please reply to the email that we sent to you and we'll set this up!

I ordered 2 sets of Skins for my Mavic Mini. Bearing in mind the disruption with Covid 19, they were delivered 7 days from placing my order to the UK. On opening the package, it is obvious to see they are of extremely high quality and come with full detailed installation instructions. I have never installed skins before and if you take your time you will get a fantastic result. I am incredibly happy with them and would be happy to purchase again. Highly recommended. Great product and customer service.

The ordering was simple and easy (once you manage to choose from the thousands of different styles). The fitting of the ordered products was perfect for the the two MacBook Airs, but not perfect for my HTC One X.

I can recommend spraying a fine mist of water on large surfaces before applying the skins. That way it is easy to adjust it right after the application. When it is perfect, just use a soft cloth to work out all the air pockets and water, starting from the center and working towards the edges. After everything is smooth, leave the product alone for some hours before using it. Works like a charm!
