[QUOTE="Syphen, post: 40970, member: 8687"] A bit of a rhetorical question but I'll bite. Is it too much for me to pay? No, of course not. The cost difference between an aftermarket $2 or whatever prop and a $9 prop is nil for anyone spending the money on a Spark. I don't think that is a fair argument. I think some people would want aftermarket props just for the aesthetics - not cost savings. Remember - I don't own a drone yet and I don't have any dogs in this race. I'm just implying that the aftermarket props may or may not be terrible and that I wouldn't stick my head in sand and say 'Never!" to them. I would use empirical evidence, measurements, and testing to prove they were good. When I put a new engine in my plane last year, I didn't leave the circuit for hours of flying because it's unproven. After a couple hours of lapping the runway you can finally branch out and go from there. I'd treat the drone in the same fashion. If everything was in spec, I'd start with simple low level and speed flights in the backyard on calm days. Prove their reliability. The only valid argument one should have is that yeah, it should and would void the warranty from DJI. [/QUOTE]
