P4 propeller

[Terrycross]

A few sets of these props came with a p4 I recently picked up. Was wondering if they are any good. They have the 9450 part number but I don’t believe they are DJI. Seem like they are well made.

Some people will run aftermarket props and not have an issue.
I‘m not in that crowd. The question becomes what risk and what reward.
Other than the color, may be the same. Just remember the cost of replacing the aircraft if they present a problem. There gray/black props available from DJI that came with the obsidian edition. You should also check the prop mounts to be sure you have the upgraded mounts.
If there are small springs on the mounts, you’re good. No springs, don’t fly it.

This is the bracket set that comes with them. I have lots of props and don’t need them. More of a curiosity if I should use them.

Yeh I get some while back,some form of plastic and carbon fiber, they don't flex to much unlike the original prop bend which was designed for the phantom weight,,in flight these aftermarket ones seem very rigid and might be ok for emergency spares but no a fan off them in flight,,I know original DJI props are a colour of there own like opaque off white,your can tell difference when compare with multiple cheap sets,,I've brought a few but have always gone back to original

What set of pro locks you running,like in picture above or upgrade set for p4p which has a middle spring,,,those bend up tabs are terrible and always need bending to rest on prop,,if not using upgrade set you should get some,,cost is around $10 but well worth it,,better prop tension at all times...they fit p4s if that what you got

This is what is currently on my p4

9450 is a size rather than a part number.
9.4 inch diameter, 5.0 inch pitch.

Depending where you are Ebay or Amazon or similar will have these sets,,prices vary on currency of $$$$..I changed mine straight away,,these spring set ups just feel lot more secure on the mount,,up to you if want to change or not but these are maintenance free unlike others that need a bend nearly every flight

Thanks meta4. Didn’t know that.
Ianzone I just thought... I have a crashed P4P of which I can remove the locks from.

Yip sure ,take note how they come off,on assemble the spring goes on first with lock tab on top,screws back in and flying

Here's a p4 low noise prop,,these 9455s,,,just for the record

 

[Terrycross]

Well I knew I would get some more use out of it.. lol

 

[ianzone]

Um just looking it look ok,,mine has same notch out if that your concern,no visable cracks on that clip..if you think it look ok ,,mount it,,,looks ok from this end in th photo,,I was in shock seeing that ..was the prop on that motor broken in crash,,again it look ok but if you don't trust it get a set on order

 

[Terrycross]

I’ll put those on tomorrow. Late night here. Thanks for your help.

Where can I order a set of those locks for a standard P4 here in the US? They look really good!

 

[Starz]

Do a bit of hunting. May be available in the us somewhere.
They are the same ones the p4p uses.

From the looks of your p4p, those prop hubs would be suspect in my world.
May not be worth the risk. Look very closely to be sure.

 

[Terrycross]

I will check them closely . The props were all still on after the crash.

I have got the carbon props (black) for P3A two years ago and they work good. I think it's the original DJI stuff. Came in DJI boxes.
I've been looking for such for the P4P but didn't find them. But these low-noise ones are also good so in fact don't need them.
