Has anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom? I am wondering if the would make the drone more easily visible vs the white props on a white drone.
Thanks!
Thanks!
It would be better to simply dye the OEM props. The carbon fiber props are no where near as good and can become brittle.Has anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom?

Fabric dye will work......such as Ritz.....Thanks, what are people dyeing them with?
Thanks, does it help with visibility?Fabric dye will work......such as Ritz.....
If you are really looking for visibility purposes, strobes would be better. The dye may help some, but strobes are visible even in bright daylight ( In my case around 2500 ft out or so ) at night for quite a bit farther. See this link:Thanks, does it help with visibility?
Yip I have them and have used them not solid carbon like p3 ones but mine have good bit of flex and worked greatHas anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom? I am wondering if the would make the drone more easily visible vs the white props on a white drone.

I had OEM carbon fiber blades on my P3se the first time I flew over water which happen to be a huge lake one of the blades snapped and I watched my AC go to the Davy Jones locker.It would be better to simply dye the OEM props. The carbon fiber props are no where near as good and can become brittle.
There is no such thing as OEM carbon fiber props. DJI does not use them. But I do see your point. If you indeed used CF props. But as said, I see your point. That is why I mentioned the stiffness of the 3rd party props which is the only way you can get CF props.I had OEM carbon fiber blades on my P3se
I put a set of props from an obsidian on my p4p. Looks cool but does nothing for visibility.Has anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom? I am wondering if the would make the drone more easily visible vs the white props on a white drone.

most important thing to know is that carbon blades are not forgiving when they hit your hands they are ruthless and no they really don't increase your visibility you're better off attaching a strobe used for night flights or those valve stem lights that attach to your car tires that light up when spinning (I think i'll try it for fun), they cost a bit more are slightly quieter and slightly more efficient. I suppose they're more aesthetic than any thingHas anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom?

When I got my P3S, I played with my older P2V+ by dyeing the props different colors, painting the body different colors, etc. to improve LOS visibility. In the end, nothing really made a significant difference. You can only see different colors on the props when the AC is within 100 ft. or so. Black and florescent orange body worked the best, but extended the visible range only about 200 feet. No matter what you do, you'll loose LOS 800-1200 ft. depending on sky conditions. As other have said, the only real thing that works for longer LOS is using strobes. I have them on my P3S on the battery side legs (away from the camera). Even the strobes get lost around 2000-2500 feet distance, though much farther a bit after sundown.Thanks, does it help with visibility?

That's one reason I bought a P4PRO OBSIDIANHas anyone used the black carbon fiber props on their phantom? I am wondering if the would make the drone more easily visible vs the white props on a white drone.

Hey ivan urias.. I have a couple questions.. What research have you discovered on the carbon blades being "ruthless when hitting your hands"? Emergency room statistics? or DJI pilot forum posts? or ?
