Look nice. Prob better on a racing drone though.

I'm using OEM DJI props. They've always worked well for me on my other DJI drones. And they don't void the warranty if a crash is suspected to be caused by the props.

I have only used OEM props.

Here is a review/test of several different props.

I use OEM DJI props. Master Air Screw props are a good upgrade.

Report back when you have flown a bit with some actual observations- flight time, RPM in hover, observable vibration. Don’t bother with anecdotal claims such as them being more crisp, locked in, quicker accelerating etc.

Here is the thing. The OEM motor sizing and prop geometry is engineered to give highest efficiency and best performance within a defined RPM range. If the three blades are the same geometry as the OEM they are nothing more than an appearance upgrade with a performance and reliability trade off. They probably aren’t genuine CF either.

Master Airscrews on the Mavic Pro. No real reason other than I've used their props for years on RC airplanes and they are quieter than the stock props.

I use Master Airscrews (bright orange) and find them of very good quality. Unless they are made by Master Airscrews or Dji I wouldn't bother.

Bright orange MAS 'Stealth' prop's on my Mavic Pro Platinum. They are quieter than the DJI 'quiet' prop's (lower frequency), have a lower rpm rate, and give me a couple of additional minutes on the battery:

She looks gorgeous!

I'd love some orange props to go with my wrap. I wonder how long before Master Airscrew comes up with M2 props?

I've contacted them a couple of times re M2 props and at first they said by end of Dec. /18, then by end of Jan. /19.
Still waiting.

I mostly use DJI quiet props on my MPP but do have the orange and white Master Airscrew props as well.

OEM for me, I am too scared to go third party on one of the most important parts. I'm sure some of them work just fine though such as the MAS props that are popular on the original Mavics. I'd never go CF due to the damage it can do if you were to run into something or another person.

I fly the the exact same setup and am very happy. I have observed the same results as you as far as flight time and sound.
Cheers

hi, did you measure your flight time with 3-blades? usually it actually worsens, if original weight of the model was already in the ideal range for the motor`s power curve. it only helps if model was overloaded.

Can I ask who made those Props?

 

[mavicn00b]

I run stock but wouldn't mind some carbon fiber in case of a bird attack.

Hi Dave A,

What case do you have?

I like your set up!
