got a nice parcel this afternoon containing my DJI 9443 carbon props (& V2 controller). They feel so much more solid than the normal props, & really don't flex at all. Even tapping them they sound almost ceramic. Hopefully i'll be able to get out with them tomorrow (hang-over permitting)
looking forward to trying DJI carbon props
- Thread starter p fandango
- Start date
Have a set of tiger motor props. Can't get them to balance. Dropped gain twice with no help. Camera & gamble just shakes. I do not know if I just have a bad set.
oh thats not nice, must say i've been bitten by the stock props (very novice flier back then) so will defo be taking care with thesedirkclod said::lol: Maybe no hangover bro and with CF props do be careful so ya want look like one of our other members

Why do you think flex is detrimental to performance?
What issues are you having with stock props?
What gains to you anticipate from the carbon knock offs?
if a prop changes shape/pitch (which it will with flex), then it won't be working to the spec it was designed too all the timehemorrhagic flyer said:
none at all, but trail & error & evolution might find an even better prop
genuine DJI i'm afraid
. & who knows what difference they'll make till you try themBe aware! I fully understand that people fly using carbon with no problems, on the other hand when I used them on my craft it flew off at a very erratic speed on its side, totally out of control and smashed to the ground causing me hundreds of pounds worth of damage. My flying pal says my phantom thinks its an aeroplane.... we laugh about it now.
I was told by the repair centre he thought the third party carbon props confuses the controller. Please do some research and don't buy the unbalanced crap I did. DJI only for me.
Good luck.......just speaking from a bad experience
Best of luck

thanks for the advice & warning, these are DJI (direct from DJI supplier, & in a DJI packet) so should be compatible. They are the same as the 9443's, just made of a different materialAsh said:
no worries mate, i've put too much money into it to risk anything stupid like flying if i'm not upto it. Hope you have a good New Year yourselfdirkclod said:p fandango I am sure they will show a difference ,I was just reminding you of what can happen without a hangover
Be safe and have a Happy New Year bro
for the sake of £30 i'm quite happy to try & see how they work, if they are crap then they'll get put away as spareshemorrhagic flyer said:
will do. I've now got 9443's, carbon 9443's & 9450's so hoping to try them all out in a good session soonBuckaye said:
propellers that flex are good, they absorb shock and absorb turbulance better. If the propellers dont flex than this may cause the phantom to have more vibrations that will cause your videos to have more vibrations.
flex isn't always a bad thing, and in some case necessary, a big difference the carbon props will make is to the cost of repairs
due to high winds i only got 5 minutes in the air, but intial thoughts are the Phantom does seem alot more responsive & "shoot off" quicker, i doubt that is due to the V2 controller. Hopefully be able to get some back-to-back comparisons with the different props soon
