I asked DJI how many propellers are provided when buying them as extras from their store listing.

I specifically mentioned that I was confused by the picture showing 8 individual propellers, (a full drone's worth), while the description says the box contains Propeller (pair) x 2, which to me would imply a total of 4 individual propellers.

The answer I got back stated;

I'm sorry for the confusion that this has caused you. However, due to the new design of the Mavic Mini's propellers which is split up into two but counted as one if screwed in to the motor. The picture on the website is designed to better understand by our customers if they own a Mavic Mini. The picture shows one set of propellers that can be attached to the drone without a remaining spare.

The Mavic Mini Propellers contains 8 propellers in total but it is counted as 1 set. Each motor needs 2 propellers since this is a split type propellers.

With no disrespect intended for the answer, I understand the concept of propellers being mounted in matched pairs, but I'm still unclear as to how many are included when purchasing.

Does anyone know from experience the actual amount?

I'm sure DJI sells 1 full set (8 propellers), but discription is realy confusing for me too  "Propeller (pair) ×2"

One complete set, so 8 props in total, remember they are matched pairs and designed for specific motors (look for the dash on the prop and motor arm).

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum. With regards to this query. The term used which is "  Propeller (pair) x 2 " is for the two pairs for the front arms and two pairs for the rear arms. As virtual posted at post 4 these propellers are enough to replace the propellers on 4 motors. If you have further concern or inquiry, please feel free to post it here at DJI Forum. We are here to help. Thank you.

DJI propellers are typically sold in sets of two (one clockwise, one anti clockwise).  The description indicates Mini propeller sets are sold the same way so you will need two sets to replace all the blades.

Now I understood Thanks
