I wanted to re-up this thread to see if anyone has experimented with ducted props (not guards) for phantoms, after watching this youtube video.
I'm curious if ducting would actually improve battery life/ flight time longevity, as is theorized? I have a lightweight snapfit concept that *should* clip onto stock phantom props easily, but I'm not really interested in wasting time or filament to design/ print, if it's already been done with no benefit.
Because I'm not really seeing anything on ducting phantom props, my inclination is that any benefit would be negligible or in fact detrimental to performance. I can't imagine this hasn't been tested and reported on somewhere. Surely DJI or someone would be selling them already if proven beneficial, right?!
I saw these on thingiverse, but nothing for phantom
