I absolutely understand. I will not be able to check the balance for you, but I can definitely get the weight and then update this thread. I suspect that DJI has updated this part from when they first released them, but that is simple speculation. Give me a day or two and I will get these weighed so you can see it.

Thank you! Looking forward to direct, firsthand data before I spend my hard earned money on some myself!

This guy is so hard to watch. I'm not a violent person but I want to hit him. Haha
Very intrigued to see how this turns out cause black and yellow props would be too perfect for this Steelers fan!
PhantomJAK,
Thanks for your time in reviewing these and answering questions. I also like your video about the DBS Mods antenna for your Phantom 3. Keep up the good work!

Will have the video up today discussing the actual weights of these props. I will even measure the thickness and length, the see if they are the same overall dimensions of the factory white props. Stand by!
I want to preemptively thank you for your time and effort.
I know in the one video, they were slightly lighter. Seeing a second video and knowing if the dimensions are close will only go to further the knowledge about them. Also, having a second source of information is something I really like to have before making a decision. Also looking forward to hearing your impressions on flight characteristics with these props!

I've been using these 9450 black carbon fiber props for a couple weeks now and they're great! I'd have to say they're quietier also but that may be my imagination,or my old props may have been a bit off. No problems at all either coming straight up/down or whatever. Totally worth the purchase, although it would be tough for me to say they actually perform better without more prop switching back and forth.
PhantomJAK, I fly these props commercially and have found them more stable in high wind. The badass look is a bonus, my business colours are black/yellow so I'm stoked. Thanks for your post, ppl should not flame on an opinion
Hehehe,
I used to be a prop hobbiest with my Phantoms. I tried different shapes, sizes, materials, and even three bladed ones. Truth be told, I really hated the stock floppy 9443 plastic ones, and settled on 9443 carbon fiber re-enforced ones. Especially at higher elevations their performance was far superior than stock.
When DJI introduced the Phantom 2 V3, they came out with the 9450 Thrust Boosted propellers which are the same (except the hub material) as the stock ones that come on P3.
The stock 9450 propellers are the ones for me. I use them on both my Phantoms because they are quiet, well balanced, and very efficient.
I know how interesting trying different propellers can be; it's a hobby in a hobby! A few words of caution when using the carbon fiber re-enforced ones, they are very sharp, brittle, and should be replaced after any crash or tip over. They usually break on one side of the hub which can send your bird down, and shrapnel quite a distance. And, like any other prop, they need to be checked for balance.
Have fun, and let us know how they work out for you!

Ok guys, here is my video talking about the weight of these props. I determined that they are about 1 gram lighter per prop. This isn't a huge difference, but they are definitely lighter. They certainly felt a lot lighter than that when I first opened the package. Overall, these props are the same exact length, but they are a bit thinner. I couldn't get it on video clearly, but there is a difference in thickness. Stay tuned for more videos with the performance of these things.
I thought the new props only came in black and yellow? I see the ones he has are black and white.

One of the noobs get their P3 confiscated?
Lol, just kidding! Welcome! I'm even friends with a Game Warden on here!
