Hi,

Quick question, Which props are you using and which ones do you recommend

Im currently using the supplied DJI props with the P3A but also purchased some third party ones off amazon.. The fitting isnt as good as the DJI ones..

Stay away from third party props and batteries!! You don't want to lose$1000 to save a few bucks on the props
The dji ones are the way to go.

It is recommended to use the original DJI Phantom 3 props.

Stay well away from 3rd party, especially when it's something as inexpensive and critical to flight as props.
Don't risk a crash and/or violating your warranty due to cheap parts

All of the above.

They're not exactly expensive after all.

The props must be composite hubs (not metal)  for the  P3range , as the motors actually brake(under rotate) when manoeuvring in flight.

Guys, would you say these are REALLY DJI? Even though they are from Amazon?

BTW, after trying them, I do not believe I see any difference in performance, so I see not reason to switch from the original plastic ones, which seem to be working just fine, and pretty much significantly cheaper. But do make sure you do have a spare set, just in case.. you never know when they might come in useful.. Even tilting on a landing may damage a prop enough where it's just cheaper and safer to swap it and not risk your aircraft.

Yes. those are genuine DJI props. DJI sells their stuff all over, including on Amazon.

3rd party props: when I first heard about blades falling off the hubs in mid flight with my $1,200 bird, my first thought was "well, that certainly isn't worth saving a few bucks".
