Does anyone have experience with these, which would be the best option

Adds weight

Red or black Sunnylife are poor quality and can bind your propeller, don’t ask me how I wasn’t able to determine route cause. Silver ones are far better quality

Ever consider that they are designed to be open/ uncovered for longevity of the motor (venting heat)?

Absolutelyl, especially with summer approaching. I current don’t have them fitted as I’m experimenting with other ways to stiffen the arms.

I have the ones with seperate screws for cover and propeller, the red ones on top of your first post. I did not have any issues with them so far. I regularely check the tight seat of the screws.

There is a video on youtube where they don't seem to really affect anything?

All DJI motors are open on top (some more than others)? What's the benefit of covering them?

Only that it raises the front props that are hitting the AC body, to be fair if you look at the Mavic Air there isn’t a great deal of opening going on there, I think if I refit my in the future I’ll only fit the front props as reports seem to indicate rear motors are the ones maxing out thus potentially creating the most heat (not that the motors feel any hotter with covers on). I’m not endorsing them but they do fix the prop strike issue, a personal choice for the pilo.

If it's a blade rigidity problem, wouldn't carbon fiber blades fix this without the added weight and heat issues?

One or the other would void warranty anyways...

From what I’ve seen I don’t think there are any decent carbon or replacement blades out there. Someone claimed Master Airscrew were developing some....?

For this purpose, Only that it raises the front props

Over what period of time... thinking of accelerated deterioration of the motor performance and parts.
