Huge prop comparison, Counterfeit vs Genuine, 9443 vs 9450

[Hivemapper]

Just did a couple test I thought you guys might be interested in. I'm by no means an expert, so I'd love to hear your guys' opinions and thoughts. I really wanted to like the carbon fiber props but was mostly surprised by the set of counterfeit phantom 2 props I purchased.

You know, I don't think you just got a good set of those XOXO props...all of the ones I've gotten are great. I haven't had one pair that's come in out of balance. Just got more in today...and they work great! I just ruined a few figuring out the best landing gear for tipping.

I hate to admit that the newer XOXOXO props really aren't that bad. If you'd like to test some of their earlier efforts, I'll be more than happy to send you a set of 9443 props that I'll never fly with. Balance was way off, threads were crap and my P2V flew like the proverbial "drunken sparrow." :shock:

I bought a set of their 9450 props, by accident, recently... and can't find all that much fault.

Excellent test! Great video too!
Different props have always been fun to try...so subjective the results
I've always found the carbon fiber 9445 supior to stock Dji. My theory is based on flying at higher elevations (3-6,000 ASL) with low humidity, the stiffer props run smoother and I seem to get less jello in my video.

A couple of months ago I got two full sets of the XOXO 9450 "Thrust Enhanced" props off Ebay. None needed balance correction and the noise reduction was surprising. I can't tell any difference between them and the DJI 9450 "Thrust Boosted" ones. They are nearly identical!

That's good to hear! A majority of what I saw from comments were really bashing the o-xoxo's, so I was a bit nervous about recommending them. Though I really don't like what they were doing to my engine hubs, and i'm pretty sure forcing them on isn't advisable. Even so, if 1 out of 4 had to be tossed out of the bag it's still worked out to being a better deal, lol.

Nice job on the review, BTW... Will. Well done and very informative. I hadn't thought to drill out the old 9443 blades with the crappy threads, but I'll give that a shot and see if it's the same issue. I suspect it is...
