[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 85901, member: 10850"] Many many threads on this topic. And many many pilots using non-OEM props. I have yet to see a post when somebody had a performance problem or warranty issue definitively attributed other brands. That's after thousands and thousands of flight hours in all different circumstances. There are two schools of thought: 1. Always use DJI branded props because they are [I]theoretically[/I] superior and [I]theoretically[/I] preserve your warranty 2. Use non-OEM props because you want color options or cost savings. There is an abundance of real experience the aren't problematic In the end it's a moot point. The props that are "DJI [I][B]branded[/B][/I]" aren't actually made by DJI. They just give the specs to a plastics factory and periodically inspect them for quality control. They will switch factories from time to time because they use several different ones for a variety of plastic components. So the off-brand props are coming from the same factorues and just getting different packaging. DJI may have better quality control but the props are easily replicated. [/QUOTE]
