P3 and PV+ props

Forester · May 7, 2015

Will the P3 use the same props as the PV+?

msinger · May 7, 2015

No. They fit on the P3, but you should not use them.

Just use the 9450s. You can find a pair on amazon for like $12 on prime.

To expand on that ... they fit but the new ESCs might loosen them in flight.
Not a risk you want to take

That's bad information ... many threads explaining why you should only use P3 props

A forum is the most efficient way of spreading misinformation.

Right -- the 9450s will not work properly with the new active braking feature in the P3. But, if you want your props to fly off in the air, then have at it

bad advice. The new ESC's brake the motors and may loosen the props unless they have the composite hubs.

Ok I see now its a size not a model number.

9450's will work as long as they're the composite/plastic hubs. Check the DJI site for the props for the 310 system. As long as they're not metal hubs, they'll work (and are half the price)

Edit: screw it I'm done.

yeah, one of the DJI engineers confirmed i and was propagated here and rcgroups. They're kinda corny w/ the mismatched colors, but they've been given the nod by DJI.
