Just wondering what recommendations anyone has on the best prop balancing device.

The SpeedyTM prop balancer is equally as good. It comes with the prop rod balancing too.

If you want to see everything that's available, I have a complete list of compatible prop balancers and rods listed here.

This might sound stupid, but what does a prop balancer do/achieve?

Reduces the vibration from an imbalanced prop. Some props are worse than others and about 20% are pretty good without any work on them. Less stress on the airframe and eliminates any jello you might be getting in the video.

Thanks for that! And whats the process of prop balancing? Do you attach the prop to the balancer and then leave it or?

This video is OK but there are others a little more accurate. This one is using the Dubro same as I use.
