" My review refers to the following product, which was made available free of charge as part of a product test:

"STARTRC Mini 3 Pro Landing Gear Foldable Extended Leg with Flash LED Lights Landing Gear for DJI Mini 3 Pro Accessories"

The illuminated landing gear comes well packed in a small box with the following contents:

- the undercarriage folded
- an instruction manual (in English) well illustrated and understandable

Processing/handling:

On the one hand, the landing gear should allow the Mini 3 Pro a little more height for takeoff and landing, on the other hand, it should also provide effect lighting towards the ground.

The chassis comes with a clean finish. No edges or sharp corners.
The runners are rounded.
Unfolding works wonderfully with little effort. Here only the runners are folded outwards and then snap in audibly and noticeably.
The whole thing is the same when folded. Everything is in its place.

14 colored LEDs in RGB are attached around the base frame of the chassis.
The battery for the LED lighting and the on/off switch, which is installed as a push button, are hidden in a small gray capsule with a USB-C connection in the middle of the chassis. Charging via USB-C works wonderfully and had to be done before using it for the first time. A conventional USB-C cable can be used for this with the appropriate mobile phone power supply unit. The endurance of the battery is given as approx. 50 minutes, whereby the 60mAh battery needs approx. 40 minutes to be fully charged. The article pictures mention "charging time" twice. This is probably a translation error and should be corrected.

The installation on the Mini 3 Pro works by simply snapping it in. Nothing falls off here, everything is firmly in place, so that nothing can accidentally loosen even during flight.
The drone stands cleanly with the landing gear mounted without tipping. Takeoff and landing very good. The ground should still be quite flat, just like when landing without this landing gear. With this chassis, however, slight bumps or slightly higher grass are no longer a problem when landing.
The ground clearance increases by approx. 21mm. The chassis weighs only 20 grams.

Lighting is a helpful effect during night flight. Here you can switch different states. About blinking, to a kind of running light and permanent light. The push button can be operated safely with light pressure.
In addition to the actual lighting of the drone on the propeller arms, this LED lighting on the landing gear is extremely bright. Because the LEDs only shine directly downwards, I could not determine any negative effect when taking photos or videos. When flying at night, you can always see perfectly where the drone is, since the original position lights only light up at intervals.

Conclusion:
The chassis is helpful in rough terrain and provides a little more security with 21mm more ground clearance for take-off and landing. I consider the lighting a good tool for night flights to reliably locate the drone visually.

All in all a good product - which deserves 5 stars.
