Not sure if the carbon fiber ones will work better since other flying models only prefer the carbon fiber propellers for BIG sizes like 10" diameter and up.

I was hoping that Master Airscrew would be developing props for the Mini 3.  I use their props on my Air 2S and they are a bit quieter and well built.

They won't fly any better, but will cut flesh much more effectively.

And shatter if they hit something hard.

Hello there Tanasit. Good day and thank you for giving out these information. Just a friendly reminder that it would be best to use a genuine propeller on your DJI Drone for compatibility and reliability purpose. DJI do not recommend you to use a 3rd party propellers. Propellers is one of the main components of the DJI drone that should not be taken for granted when flying. In addition using 3rd party propellers might cause damage or harm on your DJI drones when when in use and when flying and might void the warranty of your DJI Drone as well. Thank you and fly safe always.

Have you ever tried the Master Airscrew props DA?  I find them to be of a much better quality and using a decibel meter proves they are much quieter than OEM props.

I haven't,    under the CAA guidance they state - Only use original or manufacturer-approved parts

They are in R&D now! Shouldn't be too much longer. They are the only aftermarket prop I will consider. They've been doing this for 46 years.

I still have some old Maple props from the early '80's. Fine products.

Props are probably one of the things I won't consider for aftermarket parts.
But is there any benefit from using carbon fiber? Not sure if props should be able to flex a bit, rather than being fully rigid (kind of like airplane wings having a bit of flex/give)

I like the Master Air Screw props.  I read above that a few think there are no benefits to using third party props, but I have first hand evidence to the contrary.  The claims of longer flight times are generally bunk but the change in audible pitch I find to be greatly helpful.  Making the drone sound less shrill is what I find with the third party props.  Also, in the case of Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom it appears that DJI no longer makes proops for this model, so it is good to know for owners of all models of drone that MAS is there with props after the manufacturer stops producing.

As far as carbon fiber goes, I do not know why that particular material would be a good choice.

    MAS props are quieter and that is a great selling point.  I've not noticed any longer flying time using them either.

I didnt think that that was the end of it, its a long time before they stop making props, there must have been a supply issue...

They disappears about the time Mavic 3 launched,  but the kept selling the Enterprise battery which is the same as the standard battery with different firmware,  infect if you take a standard battery and pop it in an enterprise drone the Go4 app will apply the right firmware to it.

They do now but not when I made my post way back in September 2022.  I have two pairs for the Mini 3 Pro.  I also have MAS props on my Air 2S and Air 3.
