I saw that some people put the low noise props on their Mavic, so would I be able to do it too? I was wondering this because I saw before that there would be a gimbal error with the low noise props on. does everybody get one of these warnings?

I do not see any errors in DJI GO when using the low-noise props on my Mavic Pro.

No gimbal issues. The props seem qieter  and of a higher pitch. Still very noisy, so don't expect anything worth while. Also, they are very delicate and the tips easily snagged and bent. The fine trailing edges can be spoilt with nicks and turned up regions that add drag and noise. I will go back to the originals when these low noise props need replacing.

No errors. I really like the 8331 props

I tried the low noise props. The noise is a bit less, but not as much as I expected. Because the low noise  props feel a bit fragile and less sturdy as original props (specially when folding and storing), I reinstalled the original props and keep the low noise for spare.

Same as above.  The so called low noise props are slightly longer and the tips are weak-flexible (not necessarily fragile).  The extra length puts them in a slight bind in my case, so I won't keep them on when I quit flying.  I've flown them a few times, but really don't notice any noise difference (I don't hear highs though), so just keep them as an extra set of spares.  They do have the same mounting system, so will go on the MP just fine.  I expect slightly different performance from them but haven't tested that theory scientifically (and probably won't).

The 8331 props work great for me. They are a little lighter/thinner therefor more fragile, but i have not had any issues. They break when you hit something just like the originals. I had bought some when they first came out last year and those were rougher than the ones i just got yesterday. The packaging is different now, too. I'm guessing to combat tips/edge deformations in shipping/storage. They are noticeably quieter, but don't expect them to be silent. They also drop RPM by 50, that cannot be a bad thing for the long haul. Make sure you are on the latest firmware, and get them from DJI direct. I suggest not buying 3rd party props. Lots of posts about balance etc with non-OEM props. I have 2 MP's and use 8331's on both without issue.
Bonus-The gold tips match the gold trim on the MP, they look great!

I have them and used them quite a bit, use the originals for short flights but put the low noise back when doing a long flight, somehow get around an extra minute flight time

Can't speak to Low-Noise props on Mavic / Mavic Pro.  
However, Low-Noise props on Mavic Pro Platinum have held up pretty decently.

Been flying with low noise props on my MP since they came out in November, Never an issue with them.

I experienced gimbal shake and even more vibrations with prop guards mounted. That was when the 8331 props came out and i went back to 8330. Did some experiments in the meantime and found out that amongst the first 8331 some were badly balanced (original, no 3rd party). I used my phone as vibration sensor and tested all props I had one by one mounted on the mavic pro. Discarded the bad ones after that. (I always keep one complete set as spare)
