Miracle Blades for Mavic (Platinum)

[PaoloOne]

Yes, the Miracle Blades for the Mavic will be compatible with the Mavic Pro as stated here in the store, will this props add the extra time and silence to our "old" Mavic?
Please report results!! They'll become soon rare!

The new ESCs are probably responsible for most (if not all) of the added flight time.

 

[PaoloOne]

For me is enough the noise reduction, plus the cool effect of having a cheap upgrade for my Mavic, maybe the ESCs are just reprogrammed as well.

According to DJIs engineer the gains are about 50% ESC and 50% propeller design. Small changes in blade design can have noticeable difference in noise. What will be interesting to see is if those noise gains equate to any losses in performance/speed. One interesting thing in DJIs description is they seem to be carefully saying that the noise reductions are at take off and landing. Either way i'll try a set of the new ones when available. I used to love testing out different blades on my 3D helis where you feel the blades and what they are doing much more than on a camera drone. Blades are like tires and can make an aircraft feel completely different in the air.

ESCs cannot be reprogrammed. The change from the former square-wave output to power the motors, to a sine-wave output to the motors requires a hardware change. This power efficiency change in the Mavic hints at things to come for P5.

Looks like dji took a look at Airbus/eurocopter 'Blue Edge' technologie. ( goes back to 2010 I believe )

Looking at the design of Dji's new rotors I see some similarities. Not 100% alike but that might be related to patents and/or licensing.

If the flight characteristics remain approx the same i will get a set for sure. Less 'noise' equals less annoyance to others.

First vid explains ( you can skip the first 30 seconds) . Second vid you can here the difference.

Looking forward for someone to actually measure the differences on the Mavic blades.

Disagree, sine-wave controllers are still PWM, so no hardware change required.

4dB noise improvement is not actually much. It corresponds to noise reduction with 1.6 times range increase. Will you feel the difference if you stay away 10 m (y) compared to 16 meters (yards)? On the other hand new blades look cool.

For me at least, the present prop noise of the original MP is fine. One of the quietest drones out there! The DJI drones that REALLY NEED less noise, are the Phantom series. These suckers sound like a thrashing machine.

 

[PaoloOne]

Will anyway nice to test them, if they can increase a bit the flight time it would not hurt. Is anyway encouraging the fact that they start to do some studies on aerodynamics, how cool would be a Mavic with tilt rotors?

 

[sasharamon]

I just thing the blades are able to reduce significantly the noise. But at the same time if you dont change your main motors it wont complete the whole package. If you get all specs from platinum you will see that all infos are the same besides battery and blades (almost).

 

[cderoche]

Aside from blades and ESC is anything else different? Camera, top speed, ect?

It's a different color. Everything else is the same (it's the same price).

I disagree with that. Changing the waveform requires a change in how it's handled. That's on a HW level usually unless there is a redundant power controller in there that can easily deal with different waveforms. That's not common though.

No it's not.

• Different color.
• Different ESC HW
• Different props
• $100 more expensive

How can we get the blades ??

You can buy them from DJI when they are available. If you want to get a notification when they are available, then go here and click the "In Stock Reminder" button.

 

[Skupper67]

Has anyone been able to place an order yet?

 

[msinger]

No. They are not available for sale yet.

 

[Sircoynie]

No. They are not available for sale yet.

The new platinum series and accessories will be available from 30/09/17 according to Heliguy
