Great review for the MasterAirscrew propellers brother Bill. That was awesome Sir. Thanks 🙏 for sharing buddy. Thanks 🙏 for all you do and please keep flying.
Thanks for taking time out to do this review. I've been flying model airplanes with Master Airscrew props for decades, so I jumped at the opportunity to spend some money with them for my awesome Mini 2. Amazingly, even with the ubiquitous supply chain delays from Covid, Master Airscrew says delivery is just a few days. Hoping for the noise reduction clearly evident in your video and the extended flight time.
Great side by side sound test , I didn’t notice a difference in sound but after watching this I really can hear a difference, but wow Master Airscrew stealth props also gave me about 3:30-4;00 minutes compared to my original ones for my mini 2 SE.from27 minutes to about 31 minutes with stealth ones, no bull crap! Thanks for this review tho!
Glad to see they have finally got them for the mini2. I have them on my first gen mavic air and I love them. I will probably get them for my mini 2 just because. It did look like they were a little slower, which isn't a deal breaker. Good review if I hadn't seen your channel I wouldn't of known that they finally have the blades.
Nice Video Bill! I have Master Airscrew Props on my Mini 2 and the Mavic Air. I just bought a Mavic Air 2 and now waiting for it to come sometime next week,once itarrives I will be getting some Master Airscrew props for it also!
0:26 First Master Airscrew Propellers developed in 1976 I like their products, gonna order another set of propellers again 💯👌 5:50 nice dust covers I have the same but idk why the master airscrews won't work on one of the dust covers so I put them away entirely.
Very good review bill, I think the originals did better from your review then the master air screw although conditions can affect them. Thanks for taking the time to do this is very interesting.
Not only is the sound level lower but the frequency too. Hovering at a lower frequency means that the motors are turning slower, eg more efficiently than the stock props.
Whatever you can get faster! OEM are excellent, these are also good. If you want the colors, do it, you won't regret it. I'd suggest getting more than one set, for future issues!
When you went up with the regular propeller 100 ft you can hear it loud and clear but when you went up 100 ft with the stealth propeller you can't hear nothing they do work but the weight of them props makes it go slower it's just 1 mile less not that that bad.
Great video, Bill, the Master Air Screw pops definitely do improve visibility, and I might just get them for that alone. I generally fly at a decent height, so noise isn't really an issue
How freely do the props spin when the master airscrews are fitted? I've had to return mine as they're pretty tight and I'm getting lots of movement when hovering
When first installed they were a bit snug, but after that first flight they freed up and I had no issue hovering. After I did that quick flight in the video I landed and recalibrated my gimbal and put it back up to check my horizon, and she hovered just like always.
I honestly can only hear the difference? As for faster speed, and all that? I don't think so. I still think you get the same time with both props, and speed. I do like the red ones. I don't know about putting none OEM on a drone? They're a little expensive to be taking chances with. I'll rather keep the originals, that way it won't fall out of nowhere. Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍
The MAS props fight the wind much better, lift more payload weight and help keep the drone stable at hover. They will flex less in high winds and sport maneuvers producing less noise (this is very noticeable compared to stock). The less they flex the more structurally sound they will be in the long term. If the tips of the MAS props are a little unfinished and your a perfectionist, use sandpaper and nail polish to perfect (be careful).
Yup, that's all the things they're designed to do, and I believe that they may deliver. My comments at the end were based on a very small sample. More stick time will tell. Thanks for the comment!
Those are protective motor covers. They help keep dirt out of the open and exposed motors. I got them from Drone Valley's store, www.dronevalley.com/store/p369/DJI_Mini_2_-_Protective_Motor_Covers.html Something to keep in mind, they add 6 grams to the weight of your drone, no problem for the mini 2 unless you want to add any other accessories that may put you over 250g.
Mine arrived today and I was not happy to see the tiny plastic protuberances on the prop hub as I installed these MAS props. This is not a quality control issue, it's a manufacturing process issue and it is NOT a good thing to have air turbulence however small, due to non aerodynamic surfaces.
I’ve been looking at these, but was on the fence whether to buy them, or not. Based on your review, I don’t see any advantage to the performance, but I am curious to know if the orange blades made it easier to find the drone in flight. Since my eyesight isn’t that good, my problem is trying to locate the drone in flight with the black blades. Do the orange blades make it easier to spot the drone in flight? Thanks from Houston, TX.
They definitely stand out against a blue sky and white clouds, the guys in Austin were able to pick it out. Does it help for distance? I can't really get behind that, maybe a little. I'd suggest getting a Ulanzi DR 02 strobe light. It's less than 7 grams and didn't put me over 250 grams. Even in daylight it really extends line of sight.
@@UncleBillsTribe Thanks for the tip,, I looked at it on UA-cam and it looks like a good add on. I may just “trick” out the drone with the lights and the orange blades.
When I used to fly 3D helicopters carbon fibre blades would make it a lot more stable and increase flight time.. I wonder if they would work with drones too
@@UncleBillsTribe Great! I've ordered mine already. May take some time to arrive. Anyway, thanks for the response my friend and cheers from Malaysia. 🙂🙏
Bill, as a pilot, I noticed that your test of MasterAirScrew demonstrated a significant crosswind on the second test. A headwind would slow your test in one direction, becoming a tailwind on the way back speeding up your test. However, you had a as evidenced by a slight tilt in the horizon. A crosswind will slow your speed in BOTH directions, which your test demonstrated. Good video either way. Keep up the good work.
Still sporting them. They've proven sturdy, much sturdier than the Master Airscrew props for the Air 2 s, I've cracked a couple of those. I did notice the thread locker on the screws doesn't hold, I have been checking the screw tightness before each outing just to be safe.
They help keep out debris from the open top design of the motors. The idea is that they may help with longevity, although some may argue the additional torque can work against it. I've had them on for about a year, and I've weed whacked a few low hanging palm fronds and so far so good.
Using the old screws, thread it in and out, to remove the old dried thread lock that was originally on those screws. You’ll lose a prop or two. Make sure the hold was cleared out before using the SAME or OLD screws. Also don’t use loctite as everyone says. Even the blue will eat the mount or props. Buy the special thread stuff forget the name of it. Be very careful
How are the props still with the motor caps? Master airscrew idk if I should use their screws into the motor cover I have. Also any negative things about using those combo?
Awesome thank you for the reply I’m going to order mine now. If no issues with the caps and the props mix. Did you use the screws to hold the covers that came with the motor covers? No thread lock? Also what about the props? Used the master airscrew ones that came with them?
@@UncleBillsTribe thank you so much for taking the time to reply! Made my purchase along with motor covers! Thanks for offering your help, and will confidently put both props MAS and covers same covers you have the newer style ones
The new screws come with loctite on them. I recorded the flights original props first, so I haven't re-used the screws yet. It just takes a tiny dab on the threads.
Good review but I don’t really hear the benefit. Negligible difference in pitch but doesn’t sound less noisy. Rather use the original as build quality is more trusted.
Thanks Charlie. I could hear the difference pretty clearly. I was holding my phone 18 inches from the drone for both sound tests, but in the room you could hear the db difference. At 100 feet, you could definitely tell the difference. As far as quality, Master Airscrew has been making rc props for over 40 years, and they're manufactured in California. Whether that means anything to anyone, I don't mind having something on my drone made here. I'm going to do a hover test with full battery to test their longer flight time claims. The jury is still out on them for me. But, THEY'RE ORANGE!
I bought a couple of packs and also did DB test inside, on hover, and higher. Absolutely no difference in noise level or flight time over all tests. Quality was also not that good... For touch and feel. I think the big excitement is you can change color.
@@dronetojoy6141 Does having a brighter colour improve visibility any? I'm wondering if they would improve visibility for VLOS or are they just spinning too fast you can barely see them in operation?
Thanks for doing this and taking the time to put it out there. I was considering these myself but after watching there doesn't seem to be any benefit to them and if you use DJI care using these would invalidate your cover although how do they would tell I don't know. Another thing is I've heard somewhere mentioned that maybe new regs are coming in certain countries saying you should only use original props but how true this is I don't know however I do wonder about using third party props as many countries regulators often stipulated you must read and understand the user manual. I've never seen a user manual for anything that doesn't say always use the manufacturer original parts. This makes me wonder just how bad things could be if something went badly wrong and the authorities were involved.
I've had them on for about a year and haven't had any issues. I actually forget they're there. Are you using a light or any leg extenders? Possibly prop guards?
@@sarvove Not sure how they could do that, unless somehow the screws that came with it are too long? I got mine from Drone Valley, no issues. If your motors are overheating I'd take them off right away and see if the problem goes away.
I will, and check back. I honestly don't foresee any real difference in wind handling, the mini 2 does exceptionally well, to begin with for a sub 250 drone.
I've had it out in some wind and so far so good. I thought I detected maybe a little drifting, I was low over moving water which throws off the sensors, so I need to fly in some wind over solid ground. So far I'm happy with them.
Amazing footage
Great review for the MasterAirscrew propellers brother Bill. That was awesome Sir. Thanks 🙏 for sharing buddy. Thanks 🙏 for all you do and please keep flying.
Very nice uncle Bill. Great review. 👍😉 you did this perfectly buddy. Keep these reviews coming . Keep up the good work Bill
Nice job man, good to see you getting into some review videos..very cool!! Looking forward to putting the red ones on my mini 2!!!

That's some pie in the sky thinking, but thanks anyway!
thanks for the comparison
Just a quick unscientific test. Thanks for your comment!

So far maybe a tad faster in straight flight, but as you said conditions may have changed a bit, so we'll see as I fly them more.

Hello Bill. Nice to see the props on ur Mini2. Is the original propeller holder good with it?
The original prop holder works just fine with them. Doesn't overly snug them down/bend them, still using it, no problem.

Somebody ask Mariah what notes these drones are hitting
Wanted to buy some online the other day, but postage alone was double the price of the props.
Wow. Can't blame you. It was $5 here. If they were earth shattering, maybe...
How is the long term review on these have them in my cart, waiting to confirm the purchase….

Hey! I noticed you have those red metal caps on your Mini. Do they really improve or protect the motors or are they just decorative?
They help keep out debris from the open top design of the motors. The idea is that they may help with longevity, although some may argue the additional torque can work against it. I've had them on for about a year, and I've weed whacked a few low hanging palm fronds and so far so good.

Tip .. apply thread lock on used screws before putting them away so when out in field your all set for a replacement.
Sure, makes sense. Plus you'd want it dried on there so you don't have any get any on the shaft or prop when installing them.
