After market props.

[jac1957]

Has anyone found any good after market props for the mavic mini?

Don't risk it, I don't see any advantage in not using the OEM props

The OEM props deform far too easily, which results in the uncommanded descent problem.

You call on whether to be put on the spot or not - any recommendations for 3rd party props? You can always claim no one briefed you on that topic! (g)

I guess that is a risk, but what if the third party props are deformed out of the mould, designed badly or are unbalanced.

Fake news. Actually I've only found one brand to test, and they didn't work well at all.

Then they won't work properly, obviously.

The point I was trying to make is that OEM props would have less QC issues than third party props, even though they sometimes have prop strikes but that is a MM design issue.
As you have tested in another thread, third party props don't add really add any benefit but may cause other flight issues.

I would state that differently. The third-party props that I tested didn't add any benefit and had other issues. But, as we have seen with most other models of Mavic and Phantom, third-party solutions generally arrive that do have some benefits and work well.

Probably wait for Master Airscrew to come up with some. They make props for other Mavic models that have been of decent quality.

I found some that were slightly more stiff than the stock props, in aggressive flying it solved my issue were the front prop hits the AC body. I thought I’d found the solution I was looking for, but after close scrutiny of the video footage I could see gello effect due to misbalance/ vibration.

The fact that master air screw Does not have a model for mini Is telling.
I’m sure they tried and perhaps realize it’s an overall design problem with the drone.


If you can’t solve the strike problem then what’s the point.

A bit off topic but I use this landing gear to stiffen the front arms on the MM, seems to work and it does not trigger payload mode in my case
