This is my first post so I hope I have it on the right forum area.

Do any of you balance your propellers for the dji Phantom 3 line of quadcopters?  If so, are you allowed to mention any particular balancers here without breaking forum rules?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Chuck

Yes, many of use do balance our props, the general concensus is that the DuBro balancer is the best one for the job, and you should also order their double-ended balancing shaft as well, as the props on the Phantom are blind holes and need a special shaft.

You will fond several threads on the subject if you search the forum. It is also generally found that the DJI props are fairly well balanced, but can be improved.

Thank you for your prompt reply.   I  was looking for a "search" heading but didn't see one.  May be my oversight.

Thank you,

Oh yeah, it is one of those 'secret' tricks. Not at all obvious, but it is the tiny magnifying glass icon on the top row of the page.

Anyone know what pitch the threads are on the Phantom 3 motor shafts?

Good question.  I'm guessing M6x1.    Shaft size is about 0.232 dia.  The shaft I ordered to use with my Du-Bro prop ballancer is 6mm both CW and CCW.

As Geebax said, the DuBro is the way to go.  If you search for that on Google, the site will have the balancing rod needed and the thread dims.
