I was just cruising with my Avata and after a roll my prop just broke...

Starting to lose intrest in this drone real fast...not safe at all.

yeah that kinda sucks; these drones are not yet perfect, so it's somewhat expected.  the good news is out of thousands if not tens of thousands of broken props, not a single person has been killed and i would be hard pressed to find even a handful of injuries or any amount of property damage.  i would keep flying being mindful of the risk and knowing that you're probably not going to be the first since it's been about a decade or more.  however, there is insurance available for those who are risk adverse (it what's we often use to keep us behind the wheel of those deadly automobiles) but again, i would keep flying knowing these drones have evolved a long way and are only getting better year after year.  more good news is when a drone has a mishap or incident which only causes alarm to others, there are zero consequences not counting the stress that is often felt after it happens.  good luck!

Thnx for your reply but I know this can happen to anyone and thank God nobody got hurt and the drone isn't broken but I want to enjoy my flights not worrying about tumble or broken props..if it was pilot error I get it I'm to blame... I'll give it a try need to order some new props and see if it happens again.

Damn, looks like you were gently cruising it and then breaks prop. It would be understandable if you hit something and it breaks.

Yeah just cruising didn't do nothing weird. also props had no scratches or was chipped but time will tell I will replace all of them and if this happens shortly after that then I'll sell my product.

are you going to try aftermarket props?

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If the propeller breaks without an impact causing it to break, it means that they are very weak and working at their limit.

The props actually are not weak, I have seen some tests and they are hard to break, I believe is when one over torque the props and I just hope no one is using an electric driver to torque the prop screws at factory, most occurrences are from new Avata with original props installed at factory.

I'm glad nobody got hurt and the drone isn't broken

Replaced props time will tell. I'll run it through it's paces because now I want to recreate it again.

small update: I sold my avata and got a nazgul evoque v2
