Unofficial Folding Propellers

[pha]

Hi there,

I recently crashed my Mavic into a tree (don't walk, watch eagles and fly the same time) and the second set of my original props got damaged. Looking at the dji store, they want EUR 25 _shipping_ for the props, which is a joke. I'm now searching on Amazon, but can't find original props, just fiber and some other quick release props for the Mavic. Anyone has experience with those?

Amazon sell orig props as do many local stores

I purchased and received what looks like OEM Mavic props from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0LMWMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The box that the props came in looked just like the box I received when I purchased a pair of original Mavic props from Best Buy. The props I purchased from Amazon were $7.99 (US) per pair.

Yes they do: https://www.amazon.es/Pairs-Release-Folding-Propellers-Golden/dp/B06W58C85S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1502210010&sr=8-6&keywords=mavic+propellers&th=1

You can also search to see whether there are authorized stores in your area here: Where to Buy - DJI

@CamoGreg: They only seem to have the drone, not accessories

@rm3kus: That's amazon.com and ships for $24 to Spain (dji for $25)

@Mr. Salty: 8330F isn't the official accessory number (it's without the F), so I'm not sure if this is original and I don't know if 3rd party props are OK (kind of the question in this thread, if anyone has ever tried other props). But I found a local distributor nearby thanks to the second link! Thanks a lot!

 

[Mr. Salty]

Happy to hear you found a good local source for replacements!

Finding props online that aren't counterfeits is frustrating, although the official part number actually is 8330F, so feel free to buy them if you see that designation. Although it's hard to see, this is the marking on the props that came with my Mavic:

Alright, thanks! The 'F' is missing on the DJI website/online store, so I wasn't sure about it. Anyway, getting my new props today and then let's see if the bird still flies after a 30m fall in the forest
