Been thinking lately about trying some carbon fiber props with my Phantom 4 and I was just curious to hear who else has used them, what kind of experience you've had with them, and which ones you might recommend? I'm guessing quicker responsiveness is a pretty common result, but what about wear over time? I've developed some bad stress cracks on my 1st Phantom 4, so I'm trying to find ways to prevent/prolong them on future P4's. Do you think it would it cause more or less stress on the area around the motors? Main concern is what kind of impact it will have on creating stress cracks, whether it will help reduce the likelyhood of developing them or not.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi. Thank you for the inquiry about the carbon fiber propellers for the DJI Phantom 4. I do not recommend to use carbon fiber propellers of your Drone due to possible interference and might damage the Drone while on a flight. It can also interrupt signals and might produce low-quality videos and low-quality pictures as well.

Why rock the boat.  Any difference would be undetectable.
If a drone could fly 5 minutes longer I'd jump on that wagon.
DJI makes a GR8 product.....

Lots of people guess that CF must be magically better.
The Phantom's performance is all controller by the flight controller.
Swapping props won't give you a simple performance boost.
