Is this true? Which ones? Do you have a direct link ? Many thanks

Sorry for the confusion... it's just an ongoing post that I make whenever someone asks how great CF props are. Facts are, they don't make any difference in flight, usually cost more money, fail more easily on impact and give DJI a good reason to deny their warranty.

The pros are listed below:
1) Some people think that they look cool.

No worries, I had this feeling of sarcasm but still gave it a try.

Maybe stupid question but can you use Mavic Pro props on Mavic Air? Curious if somebody has tried it.

Won't work at all. Completely different.

Sarcasm my friend. Those numbers are nowhere accurate.

Other props are not better and you never know what you are going to get. You _will_ find out if they are not as good when your Mavic falls out of the sky. General consensus... stick with OEM props from DJI.

I just ordered these but won't get them for a while. These are hella expensive !!!

I am inquiring about Mavic Air props. Thats what I want them to make asap!!!

I have used Mas props on the Karma Gopro and Solo and they were awesome - much stronger and less noisy.
Why expensive? 4 props fro $19 + $5 transport - I cannot get this from DJI.

Will give them a try and share the results.

Shipping to canada is expensive. Its an ok price if your shipping to the states. But these are the only other aftermarket props company I know of.

I bought the 8331 props about 3 weeks ago & tried them. I would say they reduce the noise by about 1 decibel - Not worth the $12 I paid. They are about 1/4" longer than stock & they feel really 'flimsy' too! Does anyone know if they are more or less efficient?

Ok! I am editing my first post. I used a phone app which reads sounds in decibels to compare the props and decided the noise was reduced by about 5 decibels & the frequency of the sound seemed better also.

I replaced the low-noise DJI prop's on my Mavic Pro Platinum with Hensych 8331 carbon-fibre prop's and found them to be quieter. They are actually exactly the same shape as the DJI prop's - only they look different without the gold or silver trim. I think that they are quieter due to the fact that they're stiffer, and therefore need less rpm in the hover. I tested the stock DJI low-noise prop's at a 3 metre hover, and the rpm was fluctuating between 501 and 515 - but the same test with the c-f 8331's show 460 to 475 rpm. The MPP sounded less 'buzzy' in the hover - probably due to the lower rpm - and I think that's why they seem quieter. I've not experienced any handling issues in windy conditions and use these prop's pretty much exclusively. Maybe I'm wrong, but would there be a trade-off in that consistently lower rpm [approx 10%] during flights goes toward balancing out any airframe stress issues?
