Propellers for Neo

[Neo_Huat_Heng]

I like gemfans. I use 75s on my Tello with very good results.
I consider buying a pack of 5 blade neon green and blue 4 blade for the neo.
Just placed the order. The 2 packs with s&h was 12€.

I am waiting my 4 blade to be arriving soon.

The blue 4ers are finally on...

Just want to pipe in and say the members here are awesome sharing the ideas amongst other drone pilots.

I don't have a NEO or an FPV drone but it's cool to see the chatter about the environment of research and development.

Three blades. Maybe four or five. ??

Sounds like a tagline for a razor blade manufacture.

After all, we are cutting the air the best we can.

Keep up the good work.

6 blade.

Those should raise the pitch about an octave. A bit less because the motors don't have to spin as fast, but it will be considerably more mosquito-like, but probably a little quieter.

I don't know about the pitch, but one site said they lowered the noise. At $3.88 a set, I ordered them to give them a try. If they don't work, I'll make a salad shooter out of them....

Another vote for the D51 five blade.

Christian, what screws did you use with the GenFan d 51 props?

 

[NeoNeo]

Yeah, that other 5% of the time

The additional almost 5gm of the top guards supposedly reduce the bench flight times that DJI notes from 18 down to 17 minutes. Real world without the top guards on I've been getting 7-10 minutes gentle flying in Manual mode and 10-11 minutes in S mode using the FPV RC3.

Haven't tried flying with the guards. Every gram counts in these micro quads. Only immersive flying. Not into the autonomous features. They came off before the first flight. But maybe yesterday I should have had them on. Broke both the propellers on the starboard side after bouncing off an obstacle and not being able to recover. Neo ended up resting upside down under the running boards of my truck on my crushed blue rock gravel driveway.

At least the Neo stock propellers are not too DJI stupid expensive. Unlike the Avata2 propellers. Use to the HQ and GemFan that sell for significantly less.

Can you use the stock mounting screws with the HQ 2016-3 Neo?
Any other not requiring mod or non-stock screws?
If the "out of stock" at store.dji continue? Aftermarket might be the only options. Problem is eventually batteries lose too much capacity or totally croak. Bad time to trash goggle or controller or just trash the Neo if you didn't purchase a back up.

Not only DJI. Missed out a pair of mid level binoculars(Zeiss Conquest HD 8x30) that I've been lusting for. Shops were selling for few hundred dollars less than their replacements. The HDXs. Now inventory of the HDXs seem low. Was waiting for a "sale", but missed the last "deals"on the HDs. Tariff scarcity? Hit the buy button. Pulled funds from the grader/scraper (aka land plane) funds. Which also increased from $1420 to $1590. Made in KS, but probably imported steel? Glad I purchased a 2nd Neo a few months ago. Just don't drop the FPV RC3 or Goggle3.

Yes, you can. These props are Neo specific. The same parameters too. 2" with 1.6" pitch. Original screws should be used and no mods needed.

Thanks for the propeller update. Ordered a 2nd Neo kit with the 3 batteries and charging hub plus a bunch of stock propellers a few months ago. Activated it. Test flew. Into storage as a back up. As long as I don't trash the FPV RC3 or Goggle3 I'm good and more or less done with DJI. Just another set of batteries and charging hub for the Avata2 on the wishlist. Unless... if DJI introduce a sub 250gm replacement for the DJI FPV model. Might consider a 3rd model.

Wonder if DJI is withholding stocking US dealers and US DJI store due to tariffs and who knows what type of anti-China drone legislation? Combination of unwilling to increase the USA prices or absorb the tariff and plenty of sales outside the USA market relative to their current production capacity.

US$ is sinking against the Euro. NPR Marketplace report this morning I think noted 10% down so far this year. Might reflect some of the price decrease for Euro based countries. $1.18/Euro today v. $1.03/Euro on Dec 31,2024. Ouch if US citizen traveling to the EU this summer.

omg I posted that almost a year ago... to be honest I never used the orange ones, got rid of them months ago unused. What I actualy use are the 3 and 4 blade gemfans. The 3 blade HQ and 5 blade Gemfans are reserve. The 6 blade HQ has a very irritating high pitch noise, they are for sale.
