phantom 3 propellers

[christopher griffiths]

hi there, I'm after more propellers for my phantom 3. which are the best? the original dji's go for £6.00 for a pair.on ebay there are 4 pairs of unbranded for about the same price. what is the difference between the two other than four times the price they are the same spec as far as I can see. thanks chris

The best props are OEM DJI props. I wouldn't trust 3rd party props on my Phantom. The small savings is not worth the risk of crashing your Phantom due to poor performance. You can find a list of all compatible OEM DJI props here.

Hands down, stick with DJI props... and make sure they are genuine, not clones...

Also I have never seen an advantage to carbon props performance wise... just a bit more durable.

Almost always, OEM parts are the way to go. The DJI props are well balanced and durable. The only time I have had to replace a prop was when I lost the fight with a tree! I don't think that we have heard here on the forum of any OEM props that were properly installed flying off or coming apart on anyone. Not the place to save a few bucks IMHO!

I bought a pair of non-DJI props from Amazon. They are so unbalanced they are unusable.
