Carbon Fiber Props? Has anyone used these?

[tyco]

Has anyone used these CF props? Amazon.com: TAS DJI Mavic Pro REAL Carbon Fiber propellers: Toys & Games Or other CF props? (these are the only ones I've seen so far). Thoughts on them?

The claimed advantages won't stand up to any serious scrutiny.
You don't even get a more striking look since they look similar colour to originals - just 2x price.

I used them once on my Phantom 2. Because they are more rigid than the standard props, vibrations get transferred to the drone, and can make your shots a little shaky. That's been my experience with them.

I couldn't resist and ordered some anyway. Maybe I'll shoot a video review once I get them and post it. I broke a prop the other day just nicking a branch (cut the branch, but cracked the prop) and the Mav crashed. It was OK, but I'm thinking it might not have crashed if the prop was tougher. Guess we'll see.

Better to break a prop rather than a motor (or worse). They are a weak point for a reason.

Especially if you are hand catching!
Might lose a few fingers.

100 X MORE durable than stock !!!

Be the first 1000 to order and you'll get TWO sets . That's TWO COMPLETE sets for $29.99 ( just pay extra $29.99 for shipping )

Kinda like shear pins, they are designed to be the "cheap weak point" of the assembly. But let us know how it works for you, Thanks
