Where is the best place to buy quality props

[minipro3]

I have a mini 3 pro. wondering if Amazon is sufficient ? I noticed that on DJI site they are $9 a pair

wondering if Amazon is sufficient ?

It is if you're buying OEM DJI props like here on Amazon.

I would only use blades that originate from DJI, I assume "pair" means 4 blades.

Thanks guys, bought from your Amazon link !

Absolutely. Seems like props are the most critical component if there is a failure, motors right up there with them... $9 is mousenuts to anyone than can afford a DJI drone. And spare props are part of affording a DJI drone

I assume "pair" means 4 blades.

Yeah, it's kind of confusing since the Mini has two blades per motor. But, yes, they mean a single "pair" is 4 blades. You'd need 8 blades total (or 2 pair) to replace all of the props.

DJI does a great job of showing what's included in their store photos. So, if in doubt, check the photos to confirm.

I would only use DJI mini 4 pro Propellers , stock is best for durability & longevity.
If you are a care Refresh Customer or just under warranty you must always use OME .

Some applies to your mini 3 pro I would have thought

DJI.

Theres always Master Airscrew

Theres always Master Airscrew

Master Airscrew has quality props.

Since all your investment hangs on those props and they are really very cheap, probably the lowest cost replacement component on the drone, It would be foolish to skimp on such a small priced item, and risk your entire investment.

Over the years, I think there have been at least 25 threads on this topic. In the end, the majority will either advise DJI props or Master Airscrew. Best wishes and keep us posted.

Indeed.

And then the question still remains as to why anyone would use Master Airscrew over DJI props. There are no known advantages of flying with Master Airscrew props. And the biggest disadvantage is they will likely void your DJI warranty if they are ever the cause of a crash.

I can only assume it's a brand thing for some people.

Msinger, I’m not going to beat that dead horse or perpetuate yet another discussion on this issue that we both know has been completely covered. I hope we have a good winter of flying here in Pennsylvania.

It will not void your warranty if you fly and crash with MAS props. I did just that with my Mini 3, and DJI care refresh took care of it without any questions. Same years ago with my Phantom 2.

Why MAS over OEM?
1) Depending on the drone model, the MAS props can change the tone significantly, i.e. quieter. There are numerous YT videos demonstrating this fact.

2) I appreciate the colors. I like the sun shining through the props, giving the illusion of a transparent colored disc over each arm while in flight.
I like the advantage of being able to quickly spot my drone due to the bright color when I land in the bushes or a tree.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Master Airscrew props. There are advantages to bright colors when looking for my drone. In addition, I think they are much quieter than OEM. It does not void the warranty. As a matter of fact, I much prefer Master Airscrew over the OEM.

I will not use them again bc one shattered on my DJI FPV

Even if the MAS props were the cause of the crash?

I'm skeptical DJI would honor warranty or CR under those circumstances, but that's pure speculation.
