[@strayMoonBoy]

4:59 S3 7:39 S4 9:12 S5 Thank you for the detailed introduction

[@inhaledcron]

I’ve been running S4s for a few months and love them! Grabbing some S3’s to try since they are more suited to my elevation and setup. Thanks!

[@flyingclint589]

This is exactly what I needed to know! Thanks for making this my dude!

[@Cman815]

Great review man! Was just thinking about this and what I was going to pick up! Thank you!

[@epp1026del]

Thx bro. And s3. Been my all time fan so far. Very durable as well. Love them

[@denislamadeleine1181]

Thanks Steele, I learned a lot about props today!

[@TrithFPV]

S5's on my most recent 2207 1800kv 6S build. Feels great. Amazing! Super smooth.. loving it!

[@sventrautmann1540]

Thanks for this video. I love the S3 at my Rooster 230 and use them since last summer - very nice props 👍🏻

[@liam3.]

I love the s5! I just cannot go back now that I’ve started using them!

[@sully4875]

Thanks Man wish more guys would be straight like you are about what is what 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ChrisFlys]

Love the S3 so much. For exactly the reasons you mention. You should have Zhong print the ideal environment envelope on the bags.

[@nickschwartz7589]

My quad meets all of the ideal specs. I'm definently going to give it a try. Can't wait!!😀😀😀

[@Dav2112]

Really like both the S3 and S4's, also the prop organiser bag is such a simple but really effective way to store your props, I hated having loads of prop bags in my backpack and having to dig through them to find the right direction of prop, I don't have to worry about that anymore.

[@haydenm.3912]

Just ordered 10 sets of s3's! Super excited, can't stop checking the ups tracking haha...

[@brewski6806]

Great info!!! Thank you!

[@hector-fpv]

I've tried a ton of different props and S3 are my go to for freestyle by far. I use S5 for mid-long range too

[@laytonblance]

Lovin that outro music!

[@mongofpv3744]

Love my prop organizer !

[@claydellacava1673]

Great info. thx !

[@topcatgc1]

Thanks Steel, my 6S 2208 1800 778g AUW Badger runs perfect on the S4 (my prop of choice), S3 i have used for slower chase footage works well.

[@gtifury310]

I just bought a Hawk Pro and really didn't like how it flew. I just flew it with some HQ 5x3x3 V1's for the the first time today. And man, it flies like it's on rails now!

[@benjotrinidad936]

Been flying the S3 for the past months and mainly use my freestyle setup for filming here in the Philippines. Probably, the BEST set of props I've used as it's so agile and can maintain my aircraft's flight behavior (most of the time) even on strong gusts of wind. Looking forward to more awesome development on these props! #BuhayAerial

[@DronoTron]

A friend gave me a set of s5 and I just loved them. I hope getfpv gets stock soon

[@fpvraver]

Ha ha lol don’t cough on any old people lol. Hey mr Steel it was amazing to fly with you at the Rosedale park a few weeks ago. My girlfriend has the footage of you flying circles around me next to the pavilions. I was flying my Nazgul 5 as you lifted off after a propeller change. I was told after I landed that you were using me as a moving obstacle for a few moments there she said we were looking Choreographed. Anyway it was amazing to fly with you. Keep up the awesome content. I was flying the S 5 propeller that day.

[@jrow96]

I love gradient, 18%, gray

[@christopherj3367]

great advice, thanks.

[@rotorhooligans5563]

I run the s3 on 2450kv 5s no issues at all without th-cap. They are amazing❤️

[@mmmfs]

Just built my first 5" and its a bit heavy (717g AUW) with 6s 1700kv. I tried a couple of different props, and the S5's are the sweet spot for me.

[@ronnyrengkung7894]

Thanks for Sharing Bro.......! Ethix Prop Is the Best,...!!!

[@Quadtastrophe]

I fly the s4 on a 6s, 800g rig and they flys amazing! think I try the s3 also.

[@BSNfilmcraft]

Love them all, but will say S5 is my go to since my altitude is so high. But damn, you forgot to say how tough these props 🦾💚💗💚💛🖤🖤

[@fype]

Great ! Huge Thanks !

[@t.ticklesfpv]

yeeee made so much friggin sense

[@jvdejesus05]

Thanks for this info, I learned something new again in the world of FPV. I would just like to ask, is there a possibility that HQ Ethix can make a colored S5 props?

[@CgitEinsteins]

thank for sharing

[@gamingchair6928]

Eh ada bang cgit

[@syafiqtube7890]

Ketemu selepas 1 tahun 🤣

[@MattiaMastroianni]

you're the BEST

[@hateeternalmaver]

watermelon all the way! I just love 'em!

[@the_darkside_fpv]

I run s5’s. Built a CL-1 that’s kinda porky probably could run the s4 or s3 and get away with it but the hero 8 doesn’t help 😂😂 loving the s5’s though I like its juicy feel. Definitely an amp eater at high throttle but if you slow it down just a tad it’s the ultimate flow prop I feel. Like you have that pace that’s not blistering nor slow but it kinda just stands out as one of those epically cinematic speed paces.

[@oneleft163]

My favorite Gemfan 51466*3🔥🤘🏻

[@MIKEYDREADFPV]

Ethix s3 was my goto but now i love the s4 on my current rig, havnt tried the s5 yet.👍😀

[@the_darkside_fpv]

You got to try them. Man they feel juicy in the air. Lots of top end though

[@Krunked]

Hell yeah S5 is my go-to .. love the top end. And so smooth otherwise... The S3 give me. More flight time by chopping the top end off my quads. But the response on S3 is unmatched.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

✊🏼✊🏼💪

[@adamcfpv5372]

I got a set of S3 love them

[@by.phillip]

This is awesome stuff! When you are taking about total weight, are you also including the batteries?

[@noahmcelwey2598]

He is, all these people with light quads, I'm sitting over here at 685g

[@shaharmaximuk9105]

Thank - Helpfull

[@MindRiderFPV]

Nice video. Why do you use inches to measure the degrees (...) of the prop pitch?

[@luckymefpv]

Thanks for the info, all I fly is s4 & s5 I found that the s3 don’t work as well on 4s power.

[@bob8086]

I run the s5’s on my 4s quad. Just blindly bought the black ones becuase that’s what I wanted months ago. Didn’t do any research...now I know why I like them more than my other props.... they freakin rip

[@bob8086]

* I did notice the decent battery at low throttle but crazy punchouts led to dead batteries fast

[@jasonhull5712]

Subscriber count is explosion status ! You swelling Homie G !!! Lol with all the quarantine time it would be dope to have a podcast or two to listen to.. just saying my dude.. ✌😉

[@elibryce7297]

I know im randomly asking but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

[@jaxxreed7201]

@Eli Bryce instablaster =)

[@nara4420]

On my light-weight kwad the S3 produces the least noise of all 5" props i've ever used ! Thats important for me cause i've already lost good spots when other people got annoyed from a loud screaming kwad. Now it is my dayly driver.

[@HellaCopter]

Would love to hear more about the Ethix K2 and what you made or use em for I’m guessing long range ? Love the S4 on my heavy setup I was only flying v1s but the grip is so much better on the S4

[@operatorfpv7277]

Ya, I have a bunch of S5 I'm flying thru, but I like the S4 for heavy better. I think the tips of the S5 are a bit too flexible, and give me a funky prop vibe at high rpm and high G maneuvers that I can't tune out completely. The S4 seem more solid, and easier to tune. I'm rocking an over 700g auw alien(I think it was 720g. It's been a while....).

[@HellaCopter]

Operator FPV I’m at 715-725 auw with most my GoPro hero 5/6/7/8 setups I tried the s4 they are nice heard a few things people didn’t like about s5 wondering if the biblade 6” work for heavy weight while giving a locked in feel but I never personally ran biblade yet on 5-6” only have the experience with micros

[@operatorfpv7277]

@@HellaCopter maybe. Biblades will be slower and a little choppier on hard maneuvers. Especially on 6". It depends mostly on how you fly. If you want to cruise/chase in the sup 40-50mph range, biblades will give you great flight times and no issues. I should clarify. I'm over motored with 2450kv on 5s. I would guess(haven't tried yet) that if I cap my throttle, I could get rid of my S5 prop woes. I would also guess that if I had 2306 or 2308 motors, that would get rid of some of it as well. My 2207 2450kv motors seem a bit under powered. They were very weak on 6" props for freestyle. They do pretty good on 5", so I'm good for now. After some good flight time on this rig, I like it, but I do need to rebuild now that I know what I want, and found one of my esc's isn't up to par. My right yaw and roll is half speed compared to left.... and aio with 4 esc's is super heavy. I like to cruise, but I'm more into pushing the limits at the moment, so I need to build a lighter rig, and hopefully with better motors. My fc+esc is heavy... my rx is heavy(diversity xfire), my vtx is heavy, and my camera is an older CMOS foxeer monster... the only parts I want to keep are maybe the frame(but would love to build on an apex...), the hellgate buzzer, the antennae, and maybe the gps puck.

[@fpvraver]

Ha ha lol don’t cough on any old people lol. Hey mr Steel it was amazing to fly with you at the Rosedale park a few weeks ago.

Keep up the awesome content. I was flying the S 5 propeller that day just for GP 👍👍👍👍

[@MrSteeleFPV]

did you come up and say hi ? :). I remember flying around you haha 😂. Hopefully it wasn’t scary

[@MrSteeleFPV]

did you come up and say hi ? :). I remember flying around you haha 😂. Hopefully it wasn’t scary

[@fpvraver]

Mr Steele yes of course!!!! How could I not say high to the Legend!!!! No it was not scary only because I didn’t know it was taking place. You showed up and you started flying you did a power loop under the pavilion I think it was and messed your props or something. You went to adjust or change props. So I took the opportunity to go up. After I landed my girlfriend told me she got the footage of you flying around me and using me basically as an obstacle but like I said I didn’t even know it was taking place thank God I’d have probably been 😬. It was awesome to meet you and all the guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@Nspecthergadget2010]

Thanks

[@Airguardian]

May give them a try the day I run out of my current 2 bladers! :p

[@TERBANGFPV]

please review ethix K2!.. or will Konasty do that part? :)

[@brownster4865]

I love the bubble gum 2 blade 6 inch props. Do you recommend a 7 inch prop?

[@jmckenna2k10]

Thanks so much for the insanely detailed explanation .. I've decided to try the S3 on my 6S 1700kv 600g 5 inch Diatone F5 Roma instead of the S5 it was shipped with. Will likely throw an S4 into the mix soon, once I get my action cam. (And I was just saying to my daughter that I should start a prop graveyard to remind me to not run into so much shit)

[@FPV-Jon]

I have s3, but untested. All my quads are heavier then 650g and I use 6s at about 2500kv. Let's hope it flies good. 😬

[@eldronado]

I love the feel of S3, but with my motors (XING 2207) the lower hub thickness (5mm) makes it so they get loose extremely easily and I end up having to tighten them way more that I normally would every time I crash.

[@Jydotix]

I'm using 2400kv motors on 5s and the S3 is the way to go !

[@trolliamfpv9678]

Love you steel

[@fpvdronekim7873]

S3 Best GOOD 🔥🔥

[@ROL4NDFPV]

Wel S3 #pinkpropsinfront 🍉🚀🔥 the S4 #yellowpropsinfront 🍋🚀🔥 and S5 #greypropsallround. 😂🤣😂 that’s the way how you should use!! All fun aside! Awesome video and hope it clears up a lot for some people! ;)

[@JOZUMI]

what about if my quad is around 800g AUW? not much i can do to make it lighter. it's a titan XL5 with 2208 1800kv motors. i use a gopro hero 8 with the tpu mount made for gopro 8. is my only choice for best efficiency the s5 for freestyle? i dont race just cruising/freestyle.

[@jameslawrence8050]

Hi, great review, thanks 🙏 ! At 9:14 and later: S5 on the right column of the specs, not S4.

[@Silikum]

I use them like this as well

[@hawktalonandroid]

The S5 has the wrong header text for the ideal flight performance LOL. I fly the 4.3 V1S because it's hard to get Ethix props where i live. Would like to try some tho.

[@RcMcNutt]

Thanks for the explanation Steele. I've been running S3's on my 4S Remix V1 with 2650kv motors for s while now.Fucking amazing props! I'm gonna try a lower kv soon because she's def amp hungry. I'm thinking 2306/2450kv. Anywho, thanks for the video. Stay safe brutha!

[@serval_fpv]

Lemon n lime my rival teams colours grrrrrrrr

[@maggoffm7586]

What's your quad weight with gopro and lipo ? And what gopro and lipo do you use ?

[@roccofpv2191]

Thanks for this video. I have some heavy 6S quads 700-780g AUW. the weights you show, is that the AUW?

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Yes. AUW.

[@cloudchaser9271]

Thanks dude. I have a 4s and a 6s. All I use is ethix. I use the lemons on my 4s. It's a heavy bitch, to hear you say weight being a factor made me feel good about my choice. I've always used these props because how fuggin durable. Crash. Bend back repeat.

[@tylerelliottFPV]

I appreciate what you are saying, and i like numbers (although curious how those numbers come about), but I'm not sure Im good enough to tell the difference. I am curious to try out your S3's; here in the Seattle area (100 feet or so above sea level). I feel like consistency for me might be better than a prop change. yes/no?

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Should be a good prop assuming your KV and weight are within the specs

[@MrStevegibb]

Are these better balanced than the 4.3 V1s props i bought a few sets of them a few years ago and they had terrible balance. I really like the cyclone 5040c so I am thinking the s5 might be comparable prop.

[@AlbeyFPV]

S3 all the way my doood

[@AlbeyFPV]

The only thing I could ask is make all of those in 6inch and 7inch please

[@ZandroPero]

🔥

[@ashfpv1984]

Watermelon for the win :)

[@KLNYC]

S4 i like

[@DangerDavefpv]

Mr Steele I've flown for a long time now and I'm curious...do u fly ur freestyle rigs on hero 7 or sessions still?

[@colddash5598]

Gave up going thru the comments....why do you save broken/damaged props in a section of the holder? I do because I run planes and sometimes stuff isn’t damaged enough to bother but I’d like to hear your reason/explanation also...??????????,

[@dreamawayyourpain]

For an iflight titan dc5 would s4 or s5 work better?

[@michaelstewart2479]

Please tell me witch prop you think would give me the longest fligh time on a x220s wizard

[@jamilasyraf9576]

Need info for the k2

[@icecorebaby]

Hey guys I have a catalyst machine works smooth operator 5 inch with t motor F80 1900 kv 6s. Can my motors hand these ethix props? Still trying to find the right prop for my motors.

[@xanderludeman4425]

ive got a 4s nasgal 5 what would be the best

[@pafff_3d]

What about Ethix K2?

[@joshkertcher]

Steele how does pbj fit into this?

[@FOCKHOUSE]

Now I've had the S5, P3, and have some P4 Candy canes on the way. How does the S series compare to the P series?

[@the_darkside_fpv]

They honestly are very close in feel. the S series props just have a little less top end then the p series since they are shorter then the p series

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

Can you mention to the manufacturer to create the s3 in 7" or at least 6" platform? maybe call it an s7??? s6??? I would love to try this formula on my 7" builds but the 5" prop doesn't make sense. HQ give us different sizes please! 3" 4" 5"6" 7" Thx

[@dougmckay2387]

Is the weight you mentioned quad+GoPro without battery? My marmotte is close to 750 grams auw.

[@TopSpeedKertus]

In a buried comment, he mentions that when he says "weight" he is referring to the AUW.

[@maxrei8786]

Just a question: Are you interested in long range flying? Honestly I'd like to see how far you can push your freestyle setup.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

I don’t fly much long range. Butttt. The efficiency of the lower pitch props gives you a lot of cruising time. I can cruise 6-10 minutes depending on the throttle management

[@TheTomJon]

What about air temp? Asking for my Canadian friends flying in winter...

[@nicolobalestrino]

What about S3 on 6s 1950kv motor?

[@dvsfpv8957]

Y I use them. Ty Steele

[@j_de_ese]

Daaamn nos I just wanna buy me some watermelons 🍉🍉😍😍!!!!

[@j_de_ese]

*now... btw, regards from Spain!

[@woutervanteerling]

Im not sure if I understand your altitude calculations, I live in The Netherlands, a country known for being underwater without prevention ‘dijken’.. but -500ft is -150 meter below sea level? The Netherlands only reaches -7meter(-23feet). Can anyone explain/think with me?

[@cedric4893]

I use S3 and S4 on 2207 2700kv 4s and prefer S3, because I feel my rigs more precise. I do prefer precision than speed. I am more confortable with S3. S4 are good one also, make my rigs faster but it reacts not same...

[@Aasmayaa]

Probably out of topics, but am wondering why u named your prop as Watermelon, Lemon Lime, Peanut Butter and Jelly and Candy Cane? Is there also any history over the naming for Ethix prop, on why are you named it over food? 😁 Would love to hear the history of it

[@CGKFPV]

Woahhh Shutter speed way fast

[@marinehm]

How are you weighing your quad? With or without the battery/GoPro etc.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Everything as it flies. Gopro battery. Etc

[@runpuppyfpv5744]

Lol ive been flying all 3 sets I didn't realize they were different lol
