New propellers

Blackhawk1964 · Jul 6, 2020

Does anyone know where to find extra and quieter propellers for Mavic air 2? Thanks in advance for your reply.

I bought these office of Amazon primarily for the gold tips.

Have had no issues with them. Quieter than original... probably not. But not any louder.

Any other improvements e.g. extended flight time, faster speed etc. ?

I doubt there are any advantages.

They have identical numbering and markings same as the DJI version.

Probably come from the same factory. As I said, I purchased for the different color tips. DJI props on the right in the pic.

They already have the extended tip design which is supposed to make them quieter

the mavic Air 2 is ridiculously quiet as it is, I don't see the need for aftermarket blades.

Not sure how much quieter you could ever get it... unless you turn the motors off in-flight. But that would probably have dire consequences! ?

Master Airscrew expects to have their MA2 Stealth props available sometime soon, but I agree that the MA2 is already relatively quiet. The Stealth props on my M2P actually sound a little louder (to me) than my MA2’s OEM props.

With the original Mavic Air, the Stealth props reduced both decibel level and pitch, which minimized the “angry hornets” noise. I‘m not altogether convinced that the MA2 needs silencing.

Guess it's just a matter of opinion and purpose. If it were possible to be completely silent I'd love it.

Spying?

Now that is open to a ton of questions! ??

? Maybe. Actually I have quite few wild animals near my home, so it would be nice to be able to film them a little closer up without scaring them away

There has been reports that these after-market props broke off during flight. I won't take the chance especially when the advantage is not noticeable.

I have seen "Carbon Fiber" props for MA2 on Amazon - Carbon Fiber Props on Amazon - they cost more, so that is a disadvantage, but any thoughts on whether they last longer or provide any other advantage?

I haven't tried these but they are listed as low noise propellers: Amazon.com: DJI Mavic Air 2 Low-Noise Propellers - Spare Propellers Accessory for Drone, Pair,Model Number: CP.MA.00000202.01: Camera & Photo

I am not sure about the Carbon Fiber props for Air 2 but those available for Mavic Mini are true garbage.

How can you only buy 2 props at a time?

Are they selling you the "marked" or "unmarked" pair?

I find it hard to believe that someone could come along and design a better prop for a drone model that is so cutting edge as the Air 2. As if the DJI thinking was..we'll just hang it on any old prop.
That being said..if you've ever crossed it overhead at an altitude of under lets say 200 ft in sport mode you'll have to admit..this is not exactly a quiet drone.
