A 3dB reduction is 50% quieter. Shouldn't have any trouble hearing that.
Thats not true
Yes that is tru you can hear 3 db but It is not 50% quieterIt is (unless you have hearing difficulties). 3db is pretty much the definition of "a difference anyone can hear".
Yes that is tru you can hear 3 db but It is not 50% quieter
So are you saying change the other 3 to 89% and leave vertical at 100%?
I found no difference in performance with the knock-off low-noise props I got on eBay. I then purchased the DJI factory low noise props and noticed a decrease in noise. I also set a personal record flight time and distance the first time I flew them in Sport Mode.
The DJI props have a flexible tip. The knock-off brand did not.
I have been flying the Platinum Pro props on my Mavic Pro for about 3 months. I would confirm what DJI promises with slightly reduced noise levels and slightly longer flight time, however they perform significantly worse if there is wind above 10 mph. I could fly fairly confidently in winds up to 20-30 mph with the original props in regular flight mode, and in 30-40 mph winds in sport mode. With the Platinun pro props I am struggling to move upwind when winds are above 20 mph.
Many people would think it crazy to fly in this type of windy conditions, although I would argue the Mavic can handle it if you leave yourself plenty of room to land, practice a lot, and keep your distance from immovable objects and there are a lot of cool places in the world where you regularly get winds like this (e.g., most coastal environments).
Safe flying everyone.
I just got mine in today i cant believe hiw much quiter they are. I was truly surprised at the amount of difference YouTube doesn't do it justiceLooks like quieter and longer... but not by much. I wonder how much "real world" difference these will make in both noise and flight time.
I really like that skinI have the DJI brand props, and I think it is much quitter- especially 50 feet and above. I strap the blades with some Velcro wraps when I fold it up. These work better than the plastic prop guards.
