Mavic 2 propellers

[Patrickgood]

Hi Folks,

After using some time my Mavic 2 pro/zoom, I ordered new props.
But in my experience there are many different qualities.
Somewhere I ordered the props who has screws, in my opinion the best because you can pin it, unlike the riveted ones.
I'm alone in this experience?

In general & from what I've seen during investigating numerous crashes where a prop failure have been the cause, the rivet or screw attachment rarely is the failure point on the props. It's much more common that the prop material itself crack, either where the blade attach to the hub or the prop attachment tabs to mount them on the motor breaks.

The absolutely biggest cause for prop failures comes from pilots using various 3:rd party props from manufacturers that only mimic color/shape but uses inferior/not suitable materials... It's mainly 2 thing's that keep your craft airborne, props & batteries ... meaning that's not there you try to save some pennies or pimp out the craft, I always recommend DJI props due to this reason.

I recommend using the original DJI props. If such props are no longer available, go for MAS.

The other aspect that jumps out at me is knowing what that precise angle is that is optimal for flight: how do you know where to torque it down? Then comes the question is that extra torque the prop isn't designed for damaging something.

OEM ... just a simple no brainer. They work, and if the drone falls out of the sky DJI has no excuses.

Thanks for all your reply, but I wonder are the original with rivets or with screws?
And what is meaning 'MAS' ? A brand?
I live in the far east, I don't know where to buy the original ones.

MAS stands for Master Airscrew. This is a US based company manufacturing props for model aircraft since 1976. What they produce are not fake propellers. They produce props, which they believe are superior to the original DJI products; in many cases that is true. I used their props on my Mavic Pro and was very satisfied!

I too am about to buy new set of props and after extensive research have concluded that it’s best to stick with the OEM ones direct from DJI. the other thought was if I use third party props, would it have an impact on my insurance should I have an crash where the prop failure was the cause. Worth thinking about.
