I just ordered a set of Phantom Vision props to try on my Phantom V1.3. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried these yet. I will post my impressions once I get them.

Vision Props on a V1 Phantom.
- Thread starter NCHoytArcher
- Start date
I've been waiting for an outlet that has them available for purchase. Where'd you order yours from, may I ask?
Could someone elaborate on the exact pros (I've heard better flight time?) and any cons? I'm very interested in this as well, but would love more info before placing an order.

I have a set on order. They are around $30 so that is not a bad price point for what they promise. It looks like they have a larger wing surface and that means more lift. They are also self tightening which means no need for prop nuts.

$10.02 cheaper here:

I am hoping that these props are at least a small part of what's helping the vision to get its 20 minute flights. I am flying a naked phantom right now but plan on putting the gopro and an fpv system on it within the next month or two.

I saw those last night and ordered a set. I'll post detailed results before and after concerning flight time and agility. My phantom is pretty built out and weighs in at 1190g with a single battery and I get roughly 6 minutes flight time currently.
... But does the self tightening props work on the original phantom?

If your prop nuts all turn in the same direction I do not think the new props will work. I think you have to have the newer version Phantom that came with 2 cw and 2 ccw rotating prop nuts.
I've got the V1.3 phantom so these props will work. The battery price on the Vision is a deal breaker for me. Its a good thing it gets 20 minute flight times, because I'd only have one. But 150 ÷ 20 = $7.50 per minute. 30 ÷ 10 = $3.00 per minute. I've got 5 batteries for my Phantom, for the same as one for the vision. I'll stick with what I have.
But anyways, does anyone have any idea how to balance these props? Will the self tightening lugs possibly come out of the props? I can't wait to try them out but I want to balance them.

silly question, but how do you see what version phantom you have?
have to log into the software?

if you have 2 black and 2 silver lugs that hold your props, you can use the vision props. if you don't, you need two of the black lug motors.
