Many of us agree that there is a difference in the Tone of the new Props. I have found this to be true and it becomes very noticeable when you are video taping with the drone.
The change in Tone of the done does make it easier to film the drone when close up and the tone is easier on the ears but it is in no way more silent. But it was a good way to sell them.
The real benefits have come from the drone being more stable going up and down and how the drone reacts in the wind in severe storms.
Many of us are flying are drones to capture the video and not so much interested in how far we can push the drone before it wont come back.
