Hi,
I was wondering which props would help with longer flight times.. to the vision 2 props help?

Prop Upgrade for FC40
- Thread starter Little Ricky
- Start date
Original DJI Vision 2 props - Yes they do. From others it adds about 2 minutes.
Dual battery - another 3-5 minutes.
Some say to adjust gains for the vision props, some say it's fine without.

No, but I never land it, rather catch it. Most of the damage comes from landings, so I avoid it completly, and its very easy.
I bought the 9" carbon fiber blades for mine and Phantom 2 prop guards. No problems here. I didn't adjust the gains at all, didn't notice a need. I think I gained around ~1.5 minutes more flight time.
Use dji vision props on my fc40 no adjustment and more power and stability

I use the Graupner E-Props 9x5 on stock gain settings and not much additional weight. The flight times depend much on the type of flying. On a calm flight, it adds around 1-2 minutes of flight time. On a race flight, it adds speed.
I'd say "Working as intended". The main reason to not use the stock self tightining props was, that you can not balance them.

Just so I understand; these are direct replacements, only better? I can just spin them on like the stock FC40 props?
Also, why are so many places oput of stock on these? I'm trying to find the best price w/shipping $36.95 is pretty steep for 4 plastic props isn't it?

Also keep in mind that because of the longer props many have now the tip of the props showing in their videos.
The 9" vision props do make a difference. I managed to get a 14 full minutes without auto land using vision props and a mad dog 2700 battery last night. I would recommend getting genuine dii vision props unless you plan on balancing them. I tried some knock off's from Amazon and they were too unstable to use. I got 4 OEM DJI vision pops to my door for $32.00 through Red Rock which isn't too bad for the added flight time.
Whilst making an order for the gimbal lever - a £6 part - I was unwilling to pay the £4 postage on such a small item so I decided to get myself a set of props. I went for the Vision 2 props.
It means I've got to take off my prop guards but I only put them on there for the learning stage. Sure I'm not awesome with her yet but in a few more weeks when I've had a few more flights I'll rip the guards off and stick the bigger props on.
They're way more expensive than the smaller props though which is a shame.

Odd.. I am looking for the props on Amazon again from Red Rock USA and they are no longer there.
DJI-PHVSTPR is the name to look for, they are available elsewhere online..
