I'm liking how the center hub is smaller than the other style of folding props offered for the I1

i can't find them on the xoar website. this is either an old product that didn't work well or a new item for a discontinued product (unlikely). the only props for the inspire 1 on their website are the solid one piece design.

These are new ones even though not advertised in the xoar website.
I requested xoar to make them a few months ago and they made it.

The heliengadin ones are very bad with short blade length and bad aero design w/heavy long hubs. It also caused vibrations. The long hub is a very outdated design derrived from s800 evo and the blades are worse.

The xoar will perform like the regular xoar with short hubs that maintain the blade length.

The xoar hubs are just under 2 inches

Heliengadin hubs would be just over 2.5 inches and the blade design wastes about half inch per side.

Making the heliengadin have 1.5 inch waste per blade which also causes inefficiency in aerodynamics.

I don't have a problem with the look if they perform well, I'm looking for the convenience of a mavic and all that was missing was the folding props, put of the box into the air. If they are not as stable and perform equally or better than the stock ones they will go bye bye and I guess I'l try the Xoars. I've had a couple of occasions where putting the props on was the difference between getting airborne and not (got kicked out of a marina, right before I fired the bird up)
