Talk to the manufacturer. It's possible you have a flawed blade that's ruining the balance and harmonics? They'll probably be interested to help.

These have continued to perform well and have been durable. No crashes ever but the odd bit of scraggle (twigs, leaves) has not even deformed the leading edges much at all, where the stock ones would get a little 'c' shape in them immediately. Very good.

Mine arrived quickly to Australia and I'm very happy with them. I won't add the video I was going to do as this seems to have been done quite well here j now already, but it was a worthwhile purchase and I really like them. Thought I'd add one more voice to the positive opinion of them. Cheers

I have a 300mah 2S and 3000mah 3S battery that just spent 4 days stuck high in a tree (long and embarrassing story) and when I got them down, both were thoroughly discharged. Like you, I slowly put power back into them and eventually got them to storage voltage. They no longer hold that charge...

I meant I don't want to build an adapter at this point. That's the thought project I meant. It hasn't become any more real than measuring battery terminals with s multimeter.

Heh I mean I don't want to ruin my 12 day old Air.

Haven't used them before, sorry. -- I guess I could. Never said it was easy, I just said the parts in it looked cheap at first glance, though this was before I noticed it had an LED and presumably a simple IC for on/off function. In that case I'm reassessing the cost of components to being...

That's pretty cool! Thanks for the info. (Though, looking at the photos, their little gizmo seems quite hand made - those battery slots aren't a uniform length for a start. There's $3 in parts in what they're asking $65 for, though granted it'd mostly be for the R&D and effort getting it out...

Or how about finding a rectangular plastic tub that's as close to that current one you have as you can get, then put the foam into that. Pour plaster over the lot, let it set, then remove the plaster from the tub. Remove the foam from the tub. Put the plaster back in the tub, but now facing...

There isn't a lot of info freely available online for the LiHV batteries, but I understand LIHV still uses a lithium metal oxide polymer as the electrolyte but perhaps it uses cobalt or some other metal mix that gives that higher nominal and charged voltage. Maybe a manufacturer white paper...

Interesting. That'd allow the rubber bands to slip back as the servos move and the camera doesn't, as long as it doesn't throw an hardware error. I'd try it first too, that sounds like a reasonable idea.

How do you plan to interface it with your Mavic? Does it take simple batteries that you can make an adapter for? I expected they'd use a smart battery like the newer ones but maybe this isn't the case... Not an insurmountable obstacle, true, but it won't be just connecting + and - terminals.

I'll add on turnigy batteries that the Graphene units aren't all that great. I doubt graphene is even in them. Until recently, nano-tech is the one I've always liked best. Recently, the turnigy heavy duty batteries have been really good. Again, I'm just one person here but I have over 50...

I shall do a Before and After comparison of the props, no problem. Will measure decibels with phone app at maybe 1m hover from directly underneath and from 5m away horizontal, hover and punch-out (well, as punchy as the Air can be, which isn't much, but maybe it'll be helpful!). I already have a...

That's the way, thanks. I realise what sub-forum I'm in and have no experience with the MP, but I take it this one doesn't have the smart battery interface of the newer equipment? And if that's the case, assuming the MP has a 4S battery, the only concern is that the HV batteries are 0.15v...
