BEST PROPS FOR FLAME WHEEL F550

[bakersfish]

So, I just got a DJI Flame Wheel F550. I've been reading a lot about the props that come with the kit and they aren't getting stellar reviews! What is the best after market prop for the F550? I will be carrying a GoPro on an Atlanta Hobbies mount and landing gear. Any help would be appreciated. Set up videos on YouTube are helpful with the building process.

Graupner 9". You need a reamer to make these props fit on DJI motor 8mm shaft plus a 8mm washers, as the prop hub is not thick enough for DJI motors and locknuts are recommended to complete the job. Well wort the effort IMHO.

I just maidened my DJI550 with GemFan 9047 props, hovered perfectly and flew around my backyard on half throttle, on 3S, did about 8 mins on a 2700mh pack, I am using Turnigy 2830 1000kv motors.

Pete,

Those are the same props I use on my 550 and my 450, also on a 330 size woodframe quad--and they work very well on all of them. They are inexpensive but tough. I use 11x4.7 on a bigger quad, and they provide better lift and stability on that one.

I am also looking to try some three bladed 8 or 9 inch props that in theory at least should be good for stable video work, just waiting for them to come back in stack at HK.
