*Update for European and UK buyers; now available from Amazon UK so no Import Duties and Tax; link above ** So do you think they're quieter and less annoying? Should add that today, 31 May, they brought out their V2 Stealth Props, "now with even more extra flight time". The V2 claims 14% increase in flight time... Shall I give them a test too? :) And the last minute has some pretty nice footage of a pretty special place in Wales. 👍🏻 Cheers, Ian
They also had announced to offer the mas mavic air stealth prop V2 on amazon in europe but I did just found the mavic pro only at a nice price or far better than a 15$ flatrate shipping. www.amazon.de/Upgrade-Propeller-Mavic-Platinum-Schwarz/dp/B07HCDQQ3T
Just bought some of the v2s off amazon, 8% effective increase in flight time is quite significant for a plug and play reasonably priced upgrade. You can notice the tone difference pretty clearly in the video awesome stuff.
Nicely done Ian. Yep Master Airscrew have been around for as long as i can remember for fixed wing. Pooches always fun to see in the background as well!!!
Yes, that's why I was happy to test the props as MAS are a well established company. And you know me; any video filmed in the garden is going to have Ted & Co lurking around.... :)
Hey Gene. Welcome aboard 👍🏻👍🏻. Even tho I'm in the UK I try and keep things pretty international and focussed on the facts... Thanks for the good words. Ian
Thanks Ian, like you say a different sound and a definite improvement on battery life. Would be interested in the V2 results, hopefully a set may be on their way to you for evaluation if Master Airscrew are watching this 🤞 Keep up the good work mate, it is appreciated
The MPP props on a Mavic Pro don't offer the same benefits as the MPP props on a MPP due to the improved ESCs on the MPP. Quite a few people mistakenly thought just putting the MPPs on a MP would give the same result.
You got the lower pitch even without the ESC change, but I think they overplayed the lower noise benefits.... Slightly lower pitch and that was about it ... 👍🏻
@@IaninLondon do you know if these props cause any adverse behaviour of the gimbal assembly and impact picture quality ? Different props could potentially cause unwanted resonances that were not there previously. Also, I've heard that some people use parrot anafi props with an adapter hub that allows for it to connect to the mavic air.... I'm curious to see which is more effective with regards to flight time... the anafi or master airscrew props....
I have seen videos that even after changing the settings people were still getting motor error. I just have to think that can't be good on the motor or the ESC's. Guess I'm on the fence with them.
Fair point. I think enough people have been using these to be reassured they're not breaking your motors, but of course if anything does go wrong, DJI will avoid any warranty claim on the basis you were using non DJI props.... Ian.
Good video Ian, hmm yeah definitely not as noisy as the standard props so are worth it for that alone, the extra 1 minute flight time though well that’s a bit unnoticeable in a real flight situation, but I’ll probably pick some of these up to change the sound pitch, thanks mate 👍
@@MarcRCAddict Thanks Marc. Let me know how you get on. Either on here or on email ian@ianinlondon.com And to everyone else, Marc loves his RC! Check out his vids: ruclips.net/user/MarcRCAddictvideos Ian
Ian I am finding your videos so straightforward and easy to follow so many thanks. I have fitted MA props to Mavic Air and adjusted Pitch, Roll, Yaw and Vertical values following an info card that came in the box. What happens if I damage MA props and have to go back temporarily to original DJI props? Change settings again? Are they really important? Fitted MA props to Spark and no new values as above mentioned. All getting a bit too technical...
I wouldn't worry about changing the settings. I never changed mine in the first place. It's a minor thing that prevents an error message in Sport's Mode. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Ian great review totally agree with you. I’ve been using these props since they first came out and love them just having that lower pitch is enough for me now I did encounter problems at the beginning with motor error but Master Screws sent instructions how to fix it and have not had any more issues. They just contacted me that they came out with another set or what they call it Second Generation of the same props which they sent me about a week ago. Going to test them out and see how they do. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for that! Yes, I learned about the new second generation props today just as I uploaded the video. They claim 14% longer flight time over the 12% the first generation claimed. Given that they did definitely increase the flight time, I'm guessing the V2 version will be slightly better..... Ian
Got the V2 props based on your video recommendation. Big difference in pitch, enough not to be annoying. One question though: Would you recommend taking these off when putting the Air in a hard case? The pitch of the props seems to catch the air when folding the arms in.
I have left these props on since making this video, well over 6 months ago. I don't see an issue of them slightly rubbing when folding the arms. Removing and replacing is more likely to cause wear and tear 👍🏻
Hi Ian. I am very new to drones. And have just ordered my first drone. A mavic air. I have watched all of your reviews and they are so informative so thankyou! Do you recommend these props? I'm wary about a few reviews online where they say they get motor overload warnings due to firmware upgrades.
Guessing you've seen my long 'Mavic Air - All you need to know" full tutorial? That should help too. I still have these props on my Air from when I filmed this video; it's very rare to get that error and not an issue. They are quieter and you do get an extra minute or so. What woudl be way more useful tho is an extra battery. If you didn't get the combo, I'd put your money on a second battery.... Ian
@@IaninLondon yes I purchased the fly more combo so will have 3 batteries. I have indeed watched all your videos and they are all very informative. I will test it first then make a judgement wether to buy these props or not. I still see so many different examples of range across many videos. Different people stating 2.4 is better than 5.8 and vise versa, ce or fcc, so many things seem to work for different people.
@@northwestdrones I wouldn't get too hung up on the various reviews; if you're not in the USA then you'll be automatically in CE mode like me, and that's still plenty far enough. If you're flying in a town and getting interference, you could try manually choosing a 5.8 channel but TBH you're better off flying in rural locations and you won't get much interference there. I would stick to the DJI props and just get to know your new kit. You get spare props with the combo so if you clip a twig and damage a prop you'll be able to replace it easily.
Hi Ian! Interesting review. However, a different prop profile means different prop performance, this means the drone might actually get a lower top speed or just be less responsive during normal flight. To be fair with DJI props, performing just a hovering test is not enough to take the conclusion that they offer longer flight time, implying they are better. Will they also offer that in a long flight, when motors will have to spin faster to reach the same performance? And even in the case that this were true, how is overall performance affected?
Valid points; maybe I should have done a Waypoints mission to get two identical flights for comparison; may well do that for the Mavic 2 video I'm doing on these props. But, I've actually left these props on since making this video last year; had no issues whatsoever.... Cheers, Ian
I bought a set from the USA with import duty cost over £40. Changed all the settings as recommended by MAS but still getting lots of motor error warnings. My advice is don't buy them not fit for purpose wait for mark 2.
Ok terry. Interesting to hear that. Import duty really sucks, especially as these are only $20, so I think you got stung by the carrier's internal fees too there which is a shame. As for the warnings, I didn't get any during the tests but now I'm keeping these on, I'll be amending the settings as they suggest and seeing what happens. V2 got released yesterday. I'll pick some up over there in the next few weeks when I'm in the US. Ian
Did I see a recommendation from master screw that the motors should be reduced to 80% to facilitate a smoother flight (to prevent a fault message appearing when in Sport mode) and presumably thereby increase the actual flight time further?
Yes Colin. They do recommend changing the gain settings. I didn't for this test but will change it now that I'm leaving the props on. Full details here: www.masterairscrew.com/pages/mavic-air-gain-settings Cheers, Ian
@@IaninLondon Great review Ian, I've just ordered the V2 props for my Mavic Air, the company is located in the City that I work in, Rancho Cordova, California USA, the V1 Master Airscrew props recommend setting the gain to 80 instead of 100, the V2 will work with the Gain at 100 and will not produce the engine errors that the V1 props did
great review ..i think where u got 8% while hoovering i think u will get closer to the 12% while actually flying .ive been using master airscrew on my phantom 3 standard for over a year and a half and love them different colours are cool to lol
Hey Tomas. Yes, I did think that the hovering wasn't a true reflection, but figured it was the fairest comparison between the two keeping all other factors the same. Maybe I should have just flown back and forth to a tree or something :)
@@IaninLondon no u are spot on ian .. it is the fairest way to do it ,to many variables flying it .i hope that i did not come across as criticizing your test ,as it was not meant like that .was just saying flying it might get closer to the 12% .love your channel ian keep up the great work .
@@Tomas.O.Sullivan lol... Tomas, no criticism taken at all fella! And even it it were, I have way thicker skin :) Always appreciate your input and comments fella 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers, Ian
I've just emailed them to ask about this. It's $15 shipping but would be better if they had European distribution too. Will let you know what they come back with
After 50,60,70 charges will the flight time eventually decrease? With MAS props and down to 10% battery ,I am getting 15 minutes. Not really sure when is a good time to purchase new batteries.
Just bought a set of MasterAirscrew V2 Stealth props , cost me $72 Australian dollars. Fitted the props just like I have many times with the originals... The craft lifted off and within 1 foot of the ground it violently flipped over and crashed... :(. Only 3 props still attached to the my Mavic Air and no signs of the missing Stealth Prop. Not happy about a wasted $72 dollars and potentially losing the cost of my Mavic Air.... Only going use the original DJI Air props from now on...
That's bad, but it may well be that one wasn't on properly. I've flown with mine on exclusively for 8 months with no issues... But at least you didn't have any major damage.
Another great blog, a much duller tone on the master airscrews. Instead of of a swarm of wasps sound, sounds more like a couple of bees 🐝Well worth the money. Is there any UK retailers selling these, or do I have to buy direct from the USA 🇺🇸 Any discount codes for these. Great vid of the valleys
Alright Scotty. Sadly I've not been able to find any Uk or European sellers for these. They charge a flat $15 for overseas airmail; when you order, ask them to mark the package value under $10 and you should escape any import charges.
There is an adjustment you can make that's outlined on their website. It's a change in the app. But I never worried about this change. You may get the odd on screen error if you don't make the app setting change.
Hey Mark. Interesting the Airscrew site mentions longer flight time for the Air but not the Spark, so there's every chance it doesn't actually extend the flight times for the Spark.... Ian
@ian in london. dear all EU residents that are wanting to buy the Mavic air V2 props. Im not a very happy customer as my new Mavic air V2 props were delivered today with a £12.90 customs charge so 23$ +15& now +12.90 = £42.90 after conversion so with me living in the UK i will not be buying any more. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
If your're gonna max it out that may be the difference between landing at least close to the pad or find my drone... Good video bro I fly the Mavic Air...
8% is better than discussing about nothing. 8% more by a bigger battery would cause costs 8% of 75€ at least 10€ cause the higher weight needs to be compensated. And the mas prop price is not 10€ than the dji ones I'm happy with 75 - 100 seconds more flight time, more time means more range.
What would happen if you only change two props? .... keep two corners original and change the other two corners. I guess it would remain balanced. Could you try this? ...for science! 😉
Lol... No! I value my Air too much. Remember the opposite props spin the same way and adjacent props go in opposite direction. So I'd end up with things going wrong fast I reckon 😃😃
Hovering does consume more power but the specs offer a hovering flight time too. I thought about a genuine flight but then would have been exposed to different winds and different acceleration etc. Hard to get a genuine comparable flight.... Ian.
@@eaglevmp4019 I adjusted to reflect the overall flight time of the entire battery, not just the actual flight time as that ended on 10% battery. Either way it shows an increase.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did you do the test with the same battery? Ah, you talked about it later back at home. Didn't you have a Mavic Pro or Mavic 2? Are the results of Mavic Air transferable to Mavic Pro 2 ? Great results considering if every important piece could add 8% flight time by replacing. Checked their website, where they have hundreds of reviews: 14% for Mavic Air with their V2 is right Unfortunatelly their design for Mavic Pro offers just 2% compared with Platinum and 4% with the older Pro No particular Mavic 2 Pro offer and the biggest bummer 15$ shipping flat rate. It's just a better envelope and I even won't try it cause with these nice shipping costs I'll have to pay customs + taxes ... 36$ + 19% = 43$ Not even worth a trial. They need a european fullfillment center for sure which even more and more chinese seller do have or at least a european sales partner like that polish company selling their dji range extender www.4hawks.com more range + flight time would fit perfectly together, same target customers.
hi there, yes, I did this with the Mavic Air. I do have a Mavic 2 Pro as well. Not sure if they do props for the 2 Pro / zoom yet. But yes, the improvements for the original Pro isn't that great....
@@IaninLondon Thanks ... and good news: Mavic Pro & Platinum ones are available at a fair price in europe / germany at 25€ if you get over 29€ for an amazon order That's worth a trial - thanks for this video + lightning fast response www.amazon.de/Upgrade-Propeller-Mavic-Platinum-Schwarz/dp/B07HCDQQ3T
Firstly stunning pics of Wales Ian, been waiting for this one mate as I do think standard props on the air can be irritating at times, did you have any motor issues come up on the app as I've seen off another channel ? Thanks for this mate sound information as always. 😁 Ps, what is the quietest drone you have Ian?
Thanks Alwyn. Even with these stealth props on the Air, I think Mavic 2 Prop is quieter without a doubt. It's a far deeper noise but much easier on the ears and you perceive it to be much quieter. You can compare the noise on the Air, Pro and 2 Pro on this hand-catch video I made. ruclips.net/video/SspJVHTcWoM/видео.html Cheers, Ian

dear all EU residents that are wanting to buy the Mavic air V2 props. Im not a very happy customer as my new Mavic air V2 props were delivered today with a £12.90 customs charge so 23$ +15& now +12.90 = £42.90 after conversion so with me living in the UK i will not be buying any more. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Ok, that really sucks. I'm going to message them and see if they have a European distribution as £40 for a set of props is not good....
6:43. Ninja.

If your're gonna max it out that may be the difference between landing at least close to the pad or find my drone... Good video bro I fly the Mavic Air...
Quieter? 😜 Considering the ideal wind free conditions the flight time is shorter than advertised for both props.
The specs knock a minute off flight times for hovering.... And yes, my use of the word quieter is open for interpretation 😃
8% is better than discussing about nothing.
8% more by a bigger battery would cause costs 8% of 75€ at least 10€ cause the higher weight needs to be compensated. And the mas prop price is not 10€ than the dji ones
I'm happy with 75 - 100 seconds more flight time, more time means more range.
What would happen if you only change two props? .... keep two corners original and change the other two corners. I guess it would remain balanced. Could you try this? ...for science! 😉
Lol... No! I value my Air too much. Remember the opposite props spin the same way and adjacent props go in opposite direction. So I'd end up with things going wrong fast I reckon 😃😃
Ian in London I thought corner props are the same so it shouldn’t make a difference.
Do you try your test with flight vs hovering, maybe you will get the 12%. We all know that hovering drain more power.
Hovering does consume more power but the specs offer a hovering flight time too. I thought about a genuine flight but then would have been exposed to different winds and different acceleration etc. Hard to get a genuine comparable flight.... Ian.
@@IaninLondon I just calculate your 1.18m difference and it is 10% not 8%, maybe I am wrong!
@@eaglevmp4019 I adjusted to reflect the overall flight time of the entire battery, not just the actual flight time as that ended on 10% battery. Either way it shows an increase.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Did you do the test with the same battery?
Ah, you talked about it later back at home.
Didn't you have a Mavic Pro or Mavic 2?
Are the results of Mavic Air transferable to Mavic Pro 2 ?
Great results considering if every important piece could add 8% flight time by replacing.
Checked their website, where they have hundreds of reviews: 14% for Mavic Air with their V2 is right
Unfortunatelly their design for Mavic Pro offers just 2% compared with Platinum and 4% with the older Pro
No particular Mavic 2 Pro offer and the biggest bummer 15$ shipping flat rate.
It's just a better envelope and I even won't try it cause with these nice shipping costs I'll have to pay customs + taxes ... 36$ + 19% = 43$
Not even worth a trial. They need a european fullfillment center for sure which even more and more chinese seller do have or at least a european sales partner like that polish company selling their dji range extender www.4hawks.com
more range + flight time would fit perfectly together, same target customers.
hi there, yes, I did this with the Mavic Air. I do have a Mavic 2 Pro as well. Not sure if they do props for the 2 Pro / zoom yet. But yes, the improvements for the original Pro isn't that great....
@@IaninLondon Thanks ... and good news:
Mavic Pro & Platinum ones are available at a fair price in europe / germany at 25€ if you get over 29€ for an amazon order
That's worth a trial - thanks for this video + lightning fast response

Firstly stunning pics of Wales Ian, been waiting for this one mate as I do think standard props on the air can be irritating at times, did you have any motor issues come up on the app as I've seen off another channel ? Thanks for this mate sound information as always. 😁
Ps, what is the quietest drone you have Ian?
Once again a very useful video Ian. Thank you. I would also like to know what is, in your opinion, the quietest drone.
Thanks Alwyn. Even with these stealth props on the Air, I think Mavic 2 Prop is quieter without a doubt. It's a far deeper noise but much easier on the ears and you perceive it to be much quieter. You can compare the noise on the Air, Pro and 2 Pro on this hand-catch video I made. ruclips.net/video/SspJVHTcWoM/видео.html Cheers, Ian
@@scooby7346 Thanks Scooby. Answered below. 2 Pro. :)
Thanks Ian
Not sure if you watch any of Bruce Simpsons in NZ videos but his latest article might be of interest if you haven't heard about it already! Cheers Andy

I have watched a few... This idea from Extinction rebellion isn't too great for drones' reputations...
One minute isn't very impressive.
True. 5 would have been good....!
Rubbish don't buy it
