Phantoms are not suited for hop-up parts.
The propulsion units (motor, prop, ESC f/w) are tuned for best performance with OEM equipment.
If you're having difficulty in the wind... then it's too windy for a Phantom.
Your Phantom should hold position in 20 mph winds.Well I notice my phantom will slide around a bit with like 2-5 mph winds sometimes hardly anything.I'm trying to get better at landing so I got a foldable table to land on and its making it difficult when it slides around.
Yeah that too. Flying on the coast I get gusts up to 30 sometimes and I don't notice is effecting mine much.Your Phantom should hold position in 20 mph winds.
Changing motors isn't the answer.

Because the system gets confused at times. Only at low altitudes but it can be noticeable when you least want it to be.Why on earth do people think that turning VPS off, a system designed to help the quad hold position at low altitudes, will help stability in wind?? I always leave VPS on and she does just fine in the wind.
Three props off-balance can't be a good thing.I always have VPS off. I did buy a prop balancer over the weekend and three of my carbon fiber props appear to be off balance quite a bit. Could this be the issue?
Ya me too[emoji120]Wish there is a new OEM motor with snap on prop like on the P4

Are you using DJI CF reinforced props or aftermarket hard, black CF props?
If you are using hard, black CF props, I'd recommend ditching them.
The only benefit they offer is visual when the Phantom is on the ground.
You can sand them. They're really not 'carbon fiber' in the sense there is no laid matt. It's just fibers mixed in with the plastic with dubious performance enhancements. You can always use glue (Bondic), nail polish or tape to balance props.I am using DJI Carbon props. I am shocked that they are off balance. I'm kinda scared to sand them lol
