Propellers - Master Airscrew

[1gratedulflyingdawg]

Although I haven’t yet pulled the trigger on a mini 4 pro doesn’t mean I don’t still have questions. Do pilots here use Master Airscrew or stick with OEM? I want to buy extra props and found the Master Airscrew which have some nice claimed for improved flight & maybe a bit quieter.

I use MAS for the colors.

I have used MAS (both Endure and Stealth) exclusively for about 4 years with my mav. 2's, keep the original DJI props as emergency spares. On my mini 3 pro: the original DJI props are 3 years old and still going strong.

The Stealth design does have a lower tone, less insect-like, which is definitely less noticeable and irritating. They do appear to slightly alter the handling characteristics.

The Endure set has a larger blade surface area which gives more lift and is particularly useful if you end up near the top of a mountain range (the mav.2's service ceiling is 6,000 feet and most of that limit is down to the stock props not being able to generate sufficient lift in thin air).

I can't comment on greater flight time because all of my birds come back down with at least 25% left in the battery.

A tad quieter, no discernible performance qualities, quality build, and most of all…pretty. I put them on all my drones.

2 years later I still have the first and original set of OEM props that came with my Mini4P, and they remain undamaged, so I am not remotely minded to change them any time soon. I don't find there is any need for that machine to be quieter than it already is, but I have seen a good few comparison videos over the years, with db meters involved that show fairly tiny differences between OEM props and the ones that claim they are quieter.

I do see the advantage of brighter colours / better visibility of course, but again, in comparison videos I have seen the difference (in practice at distance) is marginal at best. If I wanna see it further away I am going to fit a strobe on the underside, which I suspect is orders of magnitude more effective !
