I can make a significant difference in photography. With unbalanced props I would get a vibration every 5-6 seconds that could ruin the footage. Much of the time it wasn't very visible, some of the time it made all the difference in the world. I use nail polish. The only downside to that is that it has to dry and that can actually change the balance a bit. I don't like tape because it can fall off and I don't like sandpaper because it's too fiddly and slow.How much of a difference does balancing do?
Use a good quality tape (e.g. Scotch) and make sure the prop is clean before applying the tape. That should prevent it from falling off.I don't like tape because it can fall off
There has been a low speed wobble associated with the 1.5 firmware update, presumably fixed by the 1.6. My wobbles that have been fixed by balancing are only seen on video (4K). I cannot tell if the props are balanced or not just looking at the drone.I've never used a balancer, heck I never check my props. I'm on my 3rd Phantom and have never had an issue until Sunday. Started up as normal and when it got about 4-5ft high I noticed a wobble I had never seen before. The legs had a wobble and so did two of the arms. I shut it right down and checked everything. All was in place and tight, no cracks, motor tights etc.... I threw on a brand new set up props and that help a lot. Not sure what else to check, just funny how I've been flying for three years and never hit anything, not even a blade of grass and one day this wobble develops......
