I think the frequency of the noise is an important noise. It's super obvious to the public when they hear the really high pitch of the stock props.

[@firemannss]

I have them on my Air. They are less noisy, but the thing is still noisy and draws attention. Very durable, I hit a small branch and had no prop damage. I recommend them.

[@TechMishka]

Great to know about their durability! Thanks George.

[@clmfilms8103]

Do you still use master aircrew props? Have you had and problems after a year? I know that this is an older comment, so you may not have your mavic air anymore, but im just wondering because I'm thinking of getting them for my mavic air, and I have heard of some cases of master aircrew props shattering in mid air, and in turn destroying the drone. Thanks

[@firemannss]

Still on the originals I do not fly a ton, but have had no issues

[@clmfilms8103]

@@firemannss thanks so much for getting back to me

[@clmfilms8103]

@@firemannss one more question, Have the master airscrew props for the mavic air ever scratched the drones body? Someone said that it happened to them, although I don't see how this makes sense, because the props creat lift, so they should flex upward, away from the drones body. Thanks

[@aldotanca9430]

Decibels are logarythimic measures, so in purely physical terms (sound pressure) even a few decibel can be described on paper as an impressive -50%. But in reality, noise levels are expressed in decibels for a reason. Our brain interpret sound intensity is a logarithmical way, to an extent. For a sound to feel half as loud as 66 decibels to an average human, that sound will need to be 33 decibels. In physical, linear terms, 66db corresponds to a sound pressure 45 times (!) what you get at 33db :D So, yes, 3db less that 60 is a very small thing to our ears, and it becomes even less significant at a distance. If some people perceive that as a more significant difference, this is probably due to the difference frequencies produced by the two types of propellers. This can of course be very relevant, but it is not because of a significan reduction in noise level. Coming to battery life, many reported a significant drift in medium to high wind with this kind of alternative propellers. That 13% or so of extra bettery life in static hovering with no wind could well be eaten up entirely, or more, when flying the drone in windy conditions, which admittedly is a very common situation for scenic shots. So, people who fly in that conditions will get potentially less flying time compared to using the standard propellers. So, it would seem that it is a case of usage type. Shots in calm air which benefit from a marginal reduction is sound levels, or a perceptible difference in noise quality, will benefit from using the alternative propellers. But people doing scenic shots with more than a breeze might be better off saving themselves 20 bucks, while possibly getting a longer flying time. Also, situations in which wind could rise suddendly in complicated situations, such as shots over waterbodies. Propellers which drift in high winds are not advisable in that situations.

[@TechMishka]

Aldo - this comment is AWESOME! Thank you.

[@pescado99]

@@TechMishka Guys, please please please do your homework. A 3 dB shift represents a 100% difference in sound energy. That's what logarithmic means, therefore 90dB + 90dB = 93 dB, so 3 dB is a huge difference (100% in relative loudness in fact). A difference of more than 10 dB is not noticeable to the human ear, meaning if you have a source that is 100 dB, you cannot hear another source that is 90 dB or lower. Also, critically, sound pressure reduces in open outside (free field) conditions by about 5 dB with every doubling of distance; so 90 dB at 3 ft = 85 dB at 6 ft and 80 dB at 12 ft and so on. Therefore distance from source the microphone is critical. Nice vid though.

[@stevejames7305]

totally agree aldo keep up the good info

[@rsilvers129]

Aldo - this is not correct. For a sound to be perceived as half as loud, it needs to be between 6 and 10db lower, depending on the frequency of the sound. So 56db is half as loud as 66db. 1 dB was selected as 1dB because it is the least amount of change that can be perceived at all. 3dB is significant, but not a big deal. Still, seems like I will buy these due to quieter and longer flight.

[@dumimawoneke]

Clearly your noise levels are not going to be the same cause your positioning isn’t the same?

[@TechMishka]

The device that was doing the measuring - which is a tablet in the backpack - was at the same spot - and this is what matters. So the comparison is legit.

[@dumimawoneke]

I do believe you but it’s the angles you shot from that are different hence my opinion. Still a good video mind you.👌🏿👌🏿

[@PeterParker-df6ce]

@@TechMishka Um, no. Both the receiving and the outputting objects should be in relatively similar positions when testing. If the Drone is 3 feet away from the Db reader on the first test, and 4 feet away on the second test, the second set of results are obviously going to have quieter results.

[@psykology9299]

My Air just caught a branch while coming in for landing and split the end of the 1 prop, didnt crash thankfully but i now find myself in the market for something i know nothing about, this video definitely came in handy

[@TechMishka]

So glad it did! These props are quite nice

[@Kion1972]

Ive use these sense they've come out. Definitely quieter, haven't had not 1 error message. As long as you change the (GAIN ) settings ..... no problems.

[@TechMishka]

Awesome! Same here, although I am still on less than 4 hours of flying with them.

[@brianpark2564]

What gain settings do you need to change?

@@brianpark2564 Here is the tutorial - www.masterairscrew.com/pages/mavic-air-gain-settings

[@mrchainanimal3637]

This vid really is quite convincing... unless, like me, you have purchased the props and tried it yourself. Yes, the sound is a bit less disturbing, as the frequency is noticably lower. But unfortunately the drone does not fly as smoothly as it does with the OEM props. Actually, it is shaking like hell, even if you adjust the gains. The gimbal of course tries to iron this out, but it just does not look right. I certainly would not recommend to purchase this props, although the noise of the Mavic Air really is quite a problem. In-flight stability for me is more important.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Mr Chainanimal - sorry to hear about your stability issues. Never had such with my unit. And lately I've been mostly flying with the v2 of these props, which were also excellent.

[@cesaremanzini9340]

Just tested.....yeahhhhh....finally LOW NOISE! ;)

[@AykeWeissenfels22]

Today the Stealth Props were delivered, first I did a db-Meter-Test with the original propellers, result: 90 db (2 m distance, indoor), then with the "Master Airscrew Stealth Props". Result 90 (!) db (same distance, same place). Only the pitch was a bit lower. Very disappointing!

[@cornishcactus]

Sounds like the props are higher pitch or something similar to move more air at a lower RPM so it's not so much that's it quieter overall but that the RPM had dropped for a given hover and so the annoying buzz. However this will reduce reaction time as the spin up will be slower which explains their faults with drift etc. This can be confirmed with a RPM check in the hover, the MA props will be slower. It'll also kill flight time if you like to chuck it about a bit. The motor faults are likely an amp overdraw as they will suck more trying to spin that higher loading prop up.

[@TechMishka]

Good analysis, thank you cornishcactus

[@knok2222]

Literally came here to make this comment! Noise is only one factor. Coming from 3D piloting heli's - sure idle up uses more power - but the stability and ability go up. I figure the "magic" here is a more aggressive prop that pushes more air at lower RPM so the motors don't need to spin up as fast to achieve hover. A good test would be to put it at 100+ ft and fly around with stock vs 3rd party and I assume you would see less stable flight and less flight time. But - to each their own! Fly safe o7

[@wildcreatures9810]

Excellent video. You earned my sub.

[@TechMishka]

So great, thank you!!

[@seriallikeer5956]

Why doesn't anyone text noise levels with the prop guards on ?? it lessens the noise by half try it

[@TechMishka]

Good idea, will make sure to try that.

[@DroneUpp]

Really like my Master Airscrew Props! It does seem a little more drifty in high wind perhaps because the props are spinning slower at 80% on the gain settings. Would love to hear more folks assessment on this.

[@TechMishka]

Devearl Leo - great to hear your feedback! I also like the props a lot and in my opinion they make quite a nice difference.

[@mikedomokos]

I get yaw drift when applying throttle too hard on real estate shoots. But in the air it’s so much quieter it’s worth dealing with a little drift.

[@paulfowler2502]

Another good video. It was full of information, didn't bog down with too much talking, and it was organized. Sorry about the shipping time.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Paul! Great to see you liked it. Yeah - shipping times are the outcome of many variables - so - I am sort of used to it :-)

[@rggc2008]

What we need is a Drone that does not draw attention when taking off. A couple of dB is not the answer.

[@TechMishka]

It should have pretty large props then. All the Mavics draw attention, unfortunately.

I tried the Master Airscrew props on my Magic . They are thin and flimsy , took off and tried to hover about 4 foot up . I could not stay in place , it was like a 64 Impala hitting the switches, front back and side to side . No 3 wheel motion . Very unstable, I landed and replaced the props with the stock ones. Master Airscrewed props went in the trash

[@TechMishka]

Oh... sounds like bad experience and as if something was not right with them.

[@htautomat]

Mine did not lift my Mavic Air off the ground and yes, they were installed correctly. I see how the drone is definitely quieter now that it won’t fly.

[@fredschnepel7772]

James Propst Did you turn the Mavic Air 360* and on edge 360* as well. Perhaps it needed that. Also, what did your visual console say. If you only had the controller you can’t troubleshoot effectively. Just a thought, good luck.

[@htautomat]

Well dumbass me… I know enough about aerodynamics that I should’ve looked at this before ever bitching about it. Master Airscrew contacted me and asked me to photograph the QR codes on the back of the boxes of the two sets of propellers that I got. Sure enough, one of the sets was all the same propeller, not two sets of opposite-rotating propellers. I had apparently gotten a box of properly marked, but improperly pitched propellers due to a manufacturing error. I installed the other set that was correct, set the gain to the recommended 80% in all fields, and sure enough these are a definite improvement in terms of flight times and a lower-pitched sound. The flight time advantage is well worth the price, even though they are advertised as quieter. The company definitely stepped up, owned the problem, and took care of this now happy customer. It’s nice to see a real American company in action, and I hope these guys go far.

[@TechMishka]

Hey James, thank you so much for the follow-up and I am glad to see a happy end. And awesome reaction from MA. Hopefully no more errors of that kind.

[@r3ck17rick7]

I have the MA stealths for my mav pro and they are very impressive compared to both the stock and low noise oem props. they have a bit more of an aggressive twist and slightly heavier than both oem models but are very nice to use and they are my fav 3rd party props. i never bothered with hover times as there are too many real world variables to really notice any diff

[@TechMishka]

Good to know that these props are good for other models too.

[@JohnArmwood]

They sound like an improvement though the sound of the current propellers does not really bother me. I live in a suburban area of Atlanta and there is plenty of space in the public parks. I will probably try them because the price is reasonable.

[@TechMishka]

After I got them I started to fly more and dare to do that on places I haven't done it before. Hopefully the same will happen to you too 🙂

[@danielwro1]

What about DJI Care and using those props? Does it void warranty?

[@GrimYak]

How will they know?

[@TechMishka]

Theoretically they may figure that out - because these props are supposed to operate at lower RPM. If you keep the default settings, then there might be messages about motor issue - which will not appear if you follow the instructions from the MA page. But I don't think it will impact DJI Care.

[@danielwro1]

Tech4All but id does. I talked to DJI support And they confirmed - If any 3rd party stuff (incl. Props) was installed when crash happend - no warranty liability (incl care)

[@TechMishka]

@@danielwro1 Oh, this is bad news :( THank you for confirming back.

[@mrchainanimal3637]

If this really works, that would be great. My Mavic Air is very rarely flown, just because of the horrible noise it makes. Other than that, it is still a lousy drone compare to my Mavic Pro, but it has some things going for it, expecially the size. If the props were available in the country I live, I would certainly give it a try...

Used for a few hours then started having check prop error messages and unstable hover. Went back to stock and it’s fine. No response from Master Airscrew who did find the time to put up my glowing review that I should have held off on. I didn’t think I could have issues that started after 2 hours of flying time, but I did. Will dispute with credit card company if I don’t hear from them. I have emailed and called. They aren’t checking their voice mail, but they are posting reviews on their site. Not the great customer support I was expecting. Stay with stock everything!

[@MrAndyballard]

A couple of DBs difference is no big deal... what I am interested in however, is can these props reduce the jello effect that is noticeable in some of my footage out of the Mavic Air? It's mainly when the drone is facing downwards (i.e birds eye view). I've recalibrated the gimbal and no difference, some say replacing the props regularly is good practice, any thoughts?

[@TechMishka]

Hmm, it should not have any jello. Sounds like a problem with the camera or the gimbal itself. Have you tried with different fps? And changing the hz between 50 and 60?

[@nathangarciamuro]

Good video man, it has been quite useful, good review. For that kind of money is a no brainer to try something to reduce the annoying noise of the Mavic. How much did you pay for the shipping? Paying 15€ for a 20€ item is quite excessive which will make me pass.

[@TechMishka]

This is exactly how much I paid - like $15... Best way is to team up with someone else and get an order of 3 or 4 packs, which will reduce the shipping cost.

are they certified by DJI ? i don't want to put un certified props on my drone in case it put more stress on the motors

[@csidba]

They are actually more efficient and produce less stress on the motors which is why you are suppose to turn down the gain to 80% on the props because you don't need to use as much power to get the same factory performance. If you don't turn down the gain the motors generate too much power than the props need and cause the craft to shutter a little in flight.

[@TechMishka]

They seem to not be. Someone has tried getting in touch with DJI support and they seem to be reluctant to respect DJI care and warranty when using those. I am not quite sure it is officially confirmed or not.

[@markuskoarmani1364]

To be fair you need to test the top speed as well. I suspect that the props carry more volume of air over the prop resulting in less RPMs and therefore less noise and longer flight. But I believe the end result will effect top speed.

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, that's something I did with the second video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpzZXoGhYsqEldE ; The new generation uses similar gain to the originals and the speed difference is ignorable.

Do the motors get hot at all?

[@TechMishka]

I haven't noticed them being hotter than usual.

[@slavomx]

Noise level is clearly lower and more comfy, but the Drone keeps popping out motor errors.

[@Swaggerlot]

It would be interesting to see if the prop speed varied by much, maybe the MA props load the motor more than standard and RPM is reduced..

[@TechMishka]

Did you adjust the gain settings as advised by the Master Airscrew website?

[@slavomx]

@@TechMishka l made no adjustments, there was no such info in the manual attached.

[@TechMishka]

@@slavomx Perhaps they added it on a later stage. The gains have to be set at 80%

[@robjeeves]

I grabbed for my air. At first take off close I was disappointed but soon as I had a bit of distance between me and drone it is significantly quieter. Like WAY quieter. Over 30 away I can hardly hear it compared to originals that were like angry 🐝

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, finally we get something that makes it a little more discrete! 😎👍

[@haikalwaddup2498]

Can i know..can the mavic air cut finger if we touch the wings? Maybe you had a experience or knowledge about that...?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, the RPM on the props of the Air is a bit higher than usual, so it can definitely harm you. 🤪

[@haikalwaddup2498]

@@TechMishka wow..nightmare,always be carefull Michael..👍👍

[@kendallcollier3076]

I’ve been whacked by my Mavic Air on my fingers and it stung, but no cut. They flex easily. YMMV!

[@bobbrown8661]

I've been hit by the spark props, similar but slightly lower RPM and it cut deep. Took about an hour for the bleeding to stop. So yes depending on how fast they spinning and what part of the body it can cut, but not slice off your finger. Might need some carbon fibre props for that 🥺

[@ivalvila1592]

does it affect the top speed?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, the top speed decreases a little.

[@filmselparaiso6263]

They DO drift a little more in light o heavy wind...FACT

[@DigitalNinja3]

Compare noise to Spark?

[@TechMishka]

Hmm, haven't tried that! I believe the spark is quieter.

[@DigitalNinja3]

@@TechMishka I love the Spark. And have a Mavic Pro. The Air fits right in between perfectly but its so damn noisey. I can get away with the spark and low noise props on the Mavic and not bring too much attention to them. These props get me closer to pulling the trigger on one

[@TechMishka]

@@DigitalNinja3 There's now the second edition that I'm about to test and will share the results soon.

They did - and make us spend ours on the more expensive models 😎

[@rggc2008]

Sound Wise they do not worth, time wise they do

[@TechMishka]

It is a step in the right direction 😎 And - although it is not too easy to make the difference from the video, there is a notable difference outdoors, especially when the drone flies higher.

[@iso64media13]

your mavic only flies for 15 minutes? must be a defect. mine goes for 20 minutes

[@TechMishka]

Indoors, stress for all sensors, no movement - this is normal behavior.

[@SeanOzz]

Chukwudumebi Beno you get 20 minutes from a Mavic Air? That’s amazing!!!!

[@iso64media13]

Sean Ozz turn off obstacle avoidance, go easy on the sticks ( no sharp movement ) and fly on a day with less wind

[@clmfilms8103]

I know that this is an older comment, and you may not even have the mavic air anymore, but what percentage did you drain the battery to? If you drain the battery really low, then you get more flight time, but its not good for the battery. Its best to land between 25-30%

[@iso64media13]

@@clmfilms8103 I still have the mavic air. I try to land on 20/30% now. Yes you should always land with at least 30% power for emergencies. Back then I used to land on 5/10% power

[@BibbersandBinx]

Thank you for your video! Well put together. The noise level to us didn't change (decrease) by your video though... :( Would you do another video that shows the stock battery in multiple runs?

[@TechMishka]

Bibbers and Binx - yes - the values don't drop that much at the start; Because there was a serious peak at the beginning. Not planning to do further videos about it, but who knows - I may reconsider. There will be a few weeks of intensive use next month 😎😇

[@TheCurls1]

Personally I think the noise levels are fine out of the box

[@pauloancarvalho]

Until you hear a Mavic 2 flying. :)

[@DannyRice01]

Compared to my ph3s I thought the air was quiet already

[@TechMishka]

The "Air" is perhaps the noisiest model - mostly because of the high RPM of the props.

[@haikalwaddup2498]

I like dji spark then dji mavic air...

The Spark community is super strong! Are you following the facebook group - TheSparkSide? it is quite awesome!

[@mithrandir1313]

The spark is good.... not quite the video quality of Mavic Air....

[@TechMishka]

Of course the Action camera will be used much more often :-) If I were you - I would have chosen an action camera too.

[@TechMishka]

SOme people say that the Spark has capability for 4K which is being restricted by the software.

[@mrredMavicair]

It's not worth changing for the slightest of difference .

[@TechMishka]

True that!

[@atrhsdfl867]

I think the maker of those stealth props should be hit with class action lawsuit! what bullshit! Perhaps an education to what the word STEALTH means right in the pocket!

[@TechMishka]

Interesting note! well... 😇

[@christofferaro]

CE or Fcc?

[@TechMishka]

Works with both modes. I personally use the FCC mode.

[@harolddasynth795]

noise level is just the same,the only difference is just the pitch...

[@KuKuKuK69]

Not true, I have the stealt props... and when you here the difference IRL, big difference. The noise reduction IRL is better than you can hear in this review.

[@mr.phizzer6575]

I’ve seen advertisements from masterscrew that claims a 50% noise reduction. I have some beachfront property in Yuma,Arizona that I can sell to you if you believe that kind of hogwash.

[@TechMishka]

50% noise reduction is not fair to be claimed... They are quieter, but not that much.

[@csidba]

Post the link to that ad....?

[@mr.phizzer6575]

BAM BAM I believe it was a pop up ad when I was on Facebook. I have a screenshot of it but not sure if I can post it here. If you provide an email address, I can send it that way.

[@Koen040]

What MA says is this “Aircraft noise is reduced by 3.5dB (50% noise power reduction). Lower pitch sound is less noticeable and irritating. Nominal values measured in hover and compared to stock propellers.” So yes, it is 50%.

[@mr.phizzer6575]

Koen van Gestel while technically their claim may be correct on paper or in theory, my ears hear a different story. Still not a believer.

[@quadcopter9993]

Great review. I take it that these were the Version 1 props. I have just reviewed the version 2 props and perhaps they have tamed them a little so the Mavic settings don't need adjusting. I found the new ones give an extra 7% to 8% approximately. Still an amazing improvement on the originals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJjKi4Zqha2Vmqc

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Quadcopter 999 - these are indeed the v1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new version - they look promising!

[@thrash99er]

Did you get the Motor Current Error when attempting to fly in Sports Mode ?? I don't think they are quieter.. they are a lower pitch but not really quieter. I'm really disappointed in the claims and not worth the $20 dollars in my opinion.

[@TechMishka]

titiwiti2001 - you get the error if you don't set the gain right. And if you fly higher - that different sound frequency makes a big difference. Maybe you can check if MA have return policy and return them back.

[@thrash99er]

Tech4All I did set the gain right. I got these first thing and they hadn’t added the notes about the gain until I submitted the error report. They will take a refund but I still get the motor error even with the gain set correctly. It isn’t as frequent but I still get it. I was really hopefully of these but I just don’t think they are worth it.

[@stephenmason5682]

Can't hear enough difference to bother!

[@TechMishka]

There is some. Mostly related to the sound frequency.
