Mavic Pro Propeller Comparison | Is there a BEST propeller?

Ever wonder what are the best props to get for your Mavic Pro? In this video, I test 5 of the most popular propellers head to head on speed, duration and volume. There are a couple of things I was surprised to discover!

I really love the DJI low noise props they bought out when they introduced the Platinum. They worked perfectly on the Mavic Pro. I noticed the difference straight away in reduction of noise. Thanks for the comparison.

Your channel is so underrated. You're great!

This video was very insightful. Coming from an R&D background, it’s a better to see the reviews in action rather than taking the word from customer reviews, which I have found on several occasions to be inaccurate, so thanks again and keep up the great work!

Russ, this is yet another example of the quality of informative videos you produce. An awful lot of work and man hours went into all the testing you did to provide us viewers with really helpful and useful information. Unlike a lot of other well known drone channels that sound more like company infomercials, your videos sound like they are meant to educate and inform, which they do extremely well.
Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve been a subscriber for almost two years but never clicked on the notification bell. I’m in the process of catching up now and even after two years of flying my P4 and MPP I’m learning a lot from all your videos.
By the way, I use the low noise props that came with my MPP and I’m extremely happy with them. I have spare sets as well but never had to use them.
Thanks again Russ!👍👍👍

Great comparison of propellers. Some interesting results, however, having flown model gliders for over 40 years, and being a sailor as well, I know about wind and thermals. I would imagine "speed test" results, which were pretty close in comparison would be pretty hard to measure in an outdoor environment as wind is never constant and thermals cause dead spots so a distance run would be better done in a gym where there is no movement of air flow. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to run these prop tests, and Happy Flying

Hi Russ: I tend to fly using the low noise blades, the aircraft is more stable and less intrusive, which enables me to capture the action without people noticing the drone straight away.

I also carry a set of the original blades, these can handle higher winds better than the low noise type.

In short - slice or hack, they both have their place..!

L.N.P. TIP:
Get the silver tipped ones. They are less noticeable, where the gold tipped ones can be seen in the top corners.

I too have been using the DJI low noise props since they were introduced. I carry the originals as back ups. Very interested in the Master Airscrews. Looks like a wider blade design. Keep up the great work, Russ.

Great comparison. Thanks! I was hoping somebody would do this. I think for me it will be the DJI low noise. Its the best all-around prop. That low noise is super important to ensure you are not annoying people around you.

How about DJI Mini 2 vs DJI Mini 3 Propeller Comparison & Sound Levels :-)

[garyc.]

I stocked up on spare props when I first got my Mavic &
ran into a table leg... Went with several sets of low noise props when they came
out & did seem the noise level was lower...Then got a set of Master
Airscrew props (orange color) to try...Liked the build & the Mavic flies
great so I also got a set of black props...They work fine & I've been
flying mostly with them lately...

So... I've accumulated  enough props to outlast several crashes and a
couple more Mavic's ... The DJI low noise or Master Airscrew would be my
choice...Makes no difference...Just get out & fly...

Hi Russ, I am not sure the best way tocontact you from the UK so I am just using what i believe is your last Mavic Pro youtube video. A personal very big thank you for all your Mavic pro videos and the massive amount of time you have spent over a couple of years. I have found them very helpful and I am now determined to to get back and fly my Mavic pro much more which I started this week while away on holiday on the South coast of England. I realise the Mavic Pro is now realitively old and there is now the newer 2 Pro & 3 but I will stick with what I have as it is good enough for my needs. The only issue I have is that some times a get the gimbal shake amber error but no idea why; hopefully I will find a fix somehwre on the WWW. Once again many thanks Alan

As several others have already mentioned, I tend to prefer the stock DJI props, simply because a few extra bucks is a cheap way of preventing DJI from using that as an excuse to deny a waranty claim. The results given by all of the third party props you compared don't seem to show me anything that would outweigh that concern.

Also, like you, I like the sound of the low noise props best, so they would be my choice for first place.

Knowledge is power though, so thanks for sharing the comparison stats!

[summerplumber]

I think the Master Airscrew props are the ones I would like longer flight time :)

[bryce]

I was just getting ready to buy propellers the other day when you read my mind and uploaded this video. THANKS!
I went ahead and purchased the DJI low Noise props but would like to try the Master Airscrew props if they are available.

An incredibly comprehensive guide on props, thanks very much for your time Russ. I figured there was a good reason to stay with the DJI props, if I were to turn from standard props it would be to the low noise DJI ones.
