Anyone else ever try folding props on a P3 drone? I would love to hear your feedback. I searched a lot on here and on the the net but couldn't get that much info or reviews.
I have only used original DJI props on my P3S since I got it almost 2 years ago and I have read lots of threads on why original props are the best quality and agree with all the reasons, BUT fall is here and winter is on its way. During the winter the temps can regularly get below -10ºC here and often even colder. I use a backpack for my P3S and often go out on my Snowmobile or skis to fly. Last year I almost froze my fingers off a few times while trying to screw on the props and because of this was often rushing so that my fingers wouldn't get cold - a recipe for disaster!
When I get the props I'll check them out and see how the build quality is. If they look cheap I probably won't use them and when I do try them it will be in a wide open area with lots of snow (snow covered frozen lake) should they fail in flight.
I do have a Spark that has folding props but I find that the cold weather really affects the gimbal - it often doesn't pitch at all or the pitch control becomes very erratic and unreliable making it difficult to use on cold days. Aside from reduced battery time the cold temps do not affect my P3S gimbal so that is why I want to use it on cold days.
