Which FPV Propeller is Best for YOU? Ethix P2 vs HQProp J33 vs J37 Prop Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- I set out to test the brand new FPV drone propellers from Ethix - the P2 which are also known as the 'Pickle props'. I put them up against another recently released propeller, the HQProp J33 juicy prop. And just to round things off, I compared them both to the J37. I even shared my thoughts on how they compare to the Ethix P3.3 Mango Lassi props. New vs old.... which props will come out on top!?

Patrick, that ripping from 11:05 omfg one of the best I’ve seen, and that music… love it man….
Thanks so much, that's very kind 🙏🙏🙏
Man your flying skills are out of this world! I love watching you fly! Keep it up
@@dieterhoffman188 thanks so much dude! Appreciate the support 🙌
@fpvwithpatrick 😎
I LOVE the videos so much. High end fly skills and some little mistakes make it real for me.
Thanks man! And thanks for watching 😃
I simply cannot look away when you fly, the review is just a bonus 😂 Thx for keeping the attempts that almost work out, gives the vibe to never stop learning and experimenting ❤
Thanks man, appreciate that! And yes, I crash all the time so got to show that too 😅
Now this is the video I’ve been waiting on! I still love my P3.3 followed closely by the J33.
@@JuicySmullietFPV sweet! I like both those props 👍
I used all of them too but my favorite that came out on top are the gemfan proxy the smoothest flying prop I have used hands down go give them a try you will like them 👍👍👍
I have a few sets of these! I will test them soon 🤠
You know I had to come through and watch this one for sure. I love it when you do prop reviews. I think I’m still stuck on the J37 and the Rad berries. I like how you broke it down though because every prop has a specific use case.
Yeah I liked the Rad berry props too! Haven't flown them in a while though, might have to try them again. Thanks for watching bro! 🙏
Nice review! My 2 cents (might be different for each prop but usually it goes like this…) longer blade: more prop area => more drag => more stable, less momentum carrying; lower pitch: less propwash, less top speed => more control at lower speed
That seems like a sensible analysis. And tbh, it pretty much matches what I felt. Also that's one thing someone else mentioned that I didn't talk about - drag. So much to consider with these prop stats!
look at you whippin that thang around. I have recently been flying the J33 in cold weather with good results, I have concerns they will be too soft in warmer weather and I will be back to the J37. the clear material of the ethix style props I have found to be very rigid and breakable even though the color schemes are always spot on.
I did feel a bit like the J33 were less durable when I flew them during hotter weather. They felt a bit bendy. And true about the colour schemes. The P series always have the best colours and I love the see-through-ness (you know what I mean 😂) of them. I think in colder weather these props are not so good but flying them in hotter weather I never had problems. For your fast zooming flow style I would have thought that J37 would be the perfect prop for you
What a great review! Well done bro 👍
Thanks a lot bro! 🙌
Nice review - I'm totally with you on the J33 and J37. Both my favourites and I'll fly the one which matches my build colour ;).
The P props I only like the P4 for its increased thrust on a heavier build. I don't like the longer blade with a weak pitch. It gives more drag but mediocre thrust. Feels resistant in moves and momentum but you don't get the thrust to make it worthwhile on the lower P (P2/3/3.3/3.5) IMO...P4 is a great cinametic prop for carrying a GoPro Hero.
That's such a good point about drag and I never considered it before. This is what I feel running the P2 - too much drag which limits the top speed. Need to get hold of some P4 to try!
Great review Pat , what I am seeing and hearing is somewhat the same experience I had for the most part. P2 vs J37 , the low pitch and longer blade of the P2 felt smooth , tighter (feeling) in juicy moves (not as easy to reach rotation as J37) , and less responsive on small and quick throttle changes. Really liked them for flowing. Was happily surprised as I have not had much success with 5.1 inch props.
@@MerKFPV thanks man! Yeah I have spoken to a few others with similar thoughts about them. They seem quite popular although a bit too lacking in power for my style I think
Beautiful location and your flying is on 🔥
Thanks so much 🙏
I like the Mangos but now I want to try the J37s! Great flying man
Thanks man! Hopefully you will like the J37 👍
nice review man. I really like the p2😍
@@pgkfpv good to hear it bro! Thanks 🙏
J37s also my favorite prop been flying them also for a bit now need to try these new J33s bet there fire 🔥 great RIP as always brother 💪 J33s and pickles 🥒 great for close quarter proxy stuff. I also like the Mango 🥭 too.
Yeah bro the J37s are great. J33 worth a try, just a bit less power. Mangos are great too 👍
I was wondering to myself which LUT are you using? colors looks amazing!! great video as always and one of my favorite FPV guys out there. keep it up!
Thanks! I colour correct everything first and then add 2 LUTs at low opacity! One I made myself and the other is just an orange and teal one. I've tried using just one LUT but for some reason these two working together at low opacity seems to work the best 🤷♂😅
Sweet proxy! I ❤you're inverted yaw transitions!! Tough looking build! No nonsense Full send type Quad for sure! 👊😉
@@FPZzzz thanks a lot! Yeah this quad has been through a lot and looks like a mess. But Supafly make great, tough frames 💪
@@fpvwithpatrick ❤
Dope ass review bro. You DEFINITELY should review the pig flowers from HQ 2.9 pitch but racing props. Great for freestyle man! Feels like the j37’s if I’m being honest.
Yeah I want to get some of them to try! I'll see if I can get hold of some.
J33 AND J37 KING PROPS sick video bro
Hell yeah booiiiii!!!! 🚀
Great review Patrick :)
Thanks bro! Hope you enjoyed the simultaneous Velocidrone session! 😆
super nice and interesting video patrick
@@flyingsrn thanks broski 👊 yeah maybe the P2 might work well for proxy flying. They don’t pick up a lot of speed so probably good for that style
Cool video, keep it up!😍
Thanks so much 😊
I also noticed the longer flight time and the smooth low end, still got some great power. I also noticed that tips of the blades are bent down a bit, similar to some wings of airplanes, although they have it bent up. At first those tips reminded me of the WinDancers 5042 back then many years ago. Cannot say anything about durable yet.
@@metefpv yes I noticed that too about the props bent at the ends! I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s to grip the air better? 🤔 not sure!
LOL the ending. I'm not surprised the motors sounded ratchet af in the beginning :P
@@DriftaholiC yeah I bash the shit out of my quads 😂
Such a good pilot man. You have come sooo far with your skill level! What is your take on the Gemfan Sbang 4934?
Thanks so much! I tried the sbangs recently and they felt pretty good. I only did a few packs though. Still J37 is my favourite though 🤩
Nice review as always! And great flying! Love your juicy with a sbang flavor style:D I wonder what rates do you use?:)
@@KotNaKacu thanks! You can see my rates in this video! Near the end I think: ruclips.net/video/gLw7L0c6WUQ/видео.htmlsi=zpeuOn9ua6grZe1J
Nice video and great ripping! I only ever tried the HQ J37 when I started out and was just buying bunch of different props. Liked them a lot, but only had like 2 packs. The group I was flying with convinced me to go with gemfan because of some stupid cheap deals on ali haha. So, there's that.
By the way, have you ever tried some more absurd props? Just for shits and giggles? Would love to see a video on some more "interesting" props and whether they can freestyle :D Some ideas: Azure Power 5050 Bi-Blade (they sound ridiculous), Gemfan 51499 Hurricane Whisky (ridiculous shape and pitch), some 8 bladed props from HQ (don't remember the exact name, be careful with motor idle, a friend had issues landing because the idle kept him up in the air) and then throw in some foldable props.
Keep ripping bro!
Ha, that's actually a really cool idea for a video. I think Sync FPV did some videos like that in the past where he tried different props and even mixed them so had 4 different props on one quad 😂
thx for the review, personally i never liked the j37, probably my build was too heavy back then. if i were to fly hqprops, i can only recommend the j40 :)
Oh really 😮 I would have thought for a heavier build that the J40 might feel a bit sluggish at low throttle. Although I love them. When you say heavy what do you mean? My quads are 750g and 770g
@@fpvwithpatrick my build back then, where i used the j37 was around 800g. then i tried them again with an 730g build and still didnt like them :D always felt that the j40 were the closest to my preferred gemfan props f4s tbh. maybe it just fits my style more? idk at this point :D
@@JKwon_FPV That's fair enough man. Every prop feels different and you gotta find the prop to suit your own style and setup!
Just ordered some J37's after watching this. Been running the stock 5.1x3.5 iflight nazguls which aren't bad, but I want a little more bite and it seems like the 37's might be where its at.
Awesome dude! Hopefully the J37 will work well for you then!
It seems like i may be giving the J37 a try after i run out of my p3.5 rad berry props
They really are my favourite prop, feel so nice 🤩 hope you like them
Nice review 😊. J37 still the king 👑
@@pascalkFPV hell yeah, J37 for life!! 😆
With j33 I have noticed more control and more flow, less aggressive which makes the flight smoother and at the same time with more control, the j37 perhaps better for open spaces and the j33 for closed and ruined sites, and the p2 for cinematic, this is what I have noticed in your flights, perhaps I would not have another opinion if I tried them myself, from what I have seen your flights and mine are similar
@@EddieKatanaFpv that seems like a really good observation bro and I would agree with that 👍
Do you know why the Propellers are 4.9"? I have never Seen a 4.9
@@franciscohompler2773 The J33 and J37 are both 4.9. I have seen other props that length too. Some are even shorter like the Azure JohnnyFPV props which are 4.8. I am guessing the shorter prop allows for less drag so they retain momentum when moving fast 🤔 might be other reasons but I don't know why
Cool video Pat :D i am curious which props did your crouching observer choose xD
@@jacakpro thanks bro! I don’t think she has much opinion on the matter and probably couldn’t care less 🤣
Had a session with P2 aswell, need a bit more time to make a fare statement on a proto props. 🤙🕹️🛸🚀
@@nicklessticksfpv yeah that’s a fair statement and I respect that. Sometimes I dislike props when I first try them but change my mind over time. But I can definitely feel the difference between the P2 props and the juicy props in just one session. They are slower and have less top end power than the J37. I can even see the difference when I watch the footage back, they seem less locked for me. But that’s just my opinion. I spoke with others who really liked them. Hopefully you will like them too 🙌
@fpvwithpatrick yeah boy! I'm use to P3, fly them for 4 years now, the difference is marginal, less top end, lil more throttle resolution obviously, good for proxy bando flying, need more time to start loving them, as P3 feels "i'm so at home". Cheers m8. Keep up the good work 🤙🕹️🛸🚀
@ I need to give the P3 another go. I used to fly them a lot years ago but haven't touched them recently. You're the second person to tell me to try them, I'll have to get some!
J37 hands down the best prop for freestyle imo
I agree! 💯
for me best is t-motor 5146 props have much power and works with every 5" drone with lion and lipos
Nice! I've not tried them, will have to get some and see how they feel
i think the P2 is for higherKV suchas 2000kv-2160kv,,lower prop can reduce the air drag,,maybe,,idk,,such as yuki or mck using lower pitch for their motor on 2100kv
@@zlachannel8674 yeah I think lower pitch will work better with high kv motor. But for me I felt like there was more air drag with these low pitch props
How to the j37 compare to the ethix p3.3 and 3.5?
@@kylelinortner9000 I would say the juicy props have more of a locked in and flowy feel from personal experience and they really seem to carry their momentum well whilst being smooth. The P3.3 and 3.5 are good flow props and have a decent amount of power though. But there is just some extra magic that’s hard to describe about the juicy props. I think it’s the shape. They just cut through the air like butter
🙌🙌🙌🙌
@@zombizh4191 😁🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I always wonder if your camera cage is visible in your goggle view with the juicemode?
It is, yes! But there is a new Juicemode coming soon where the camera cage is completely out of view. I will do a video when it is released
ive always used the j40 juicys, low pitch puts me off.... hows the rewinds and lock stop feel??
@@AeroLUXEfpv I LOVE the J40 props too. With the P2 the rewinds and lock stop does not feel so good. The juicy props are a lot better for this
@fpvwithpatrick was gonna say it must feel sloppy for that stuff.
Have you tested the new deepspace DC O4 drones?
If you had to fly without gopro, do you thinks its viable to fly a DC design for freestyle ?
@@chrisbee5481 I haven’t tried them! The Seeker5 right? It looks good but I can’t comment. But O4 is great quality and I’ve seen videos with people comparing the O4 image to a GoPro and it’s great quality 👍
Are you using ELRS or Crossfire? and why? What town in Vietnam is it? thanks for the video tutorial
@@EddieKatanaFpv I use Crossfire. Always used it since I started FPV. Super reliable 👍 this is Da Nang bro
If you like the juicy fling 4.9 inch props, how do you like the gemfan 4934 or 4937?
@@chrisbee5481 I haven’t flown many Gemfan props if I’m honest. I tried the F4 and also the sbangs which felt pretty good. I have some Pablo props too that I want to try but I can’t really comment because I fly HQProp 99.9% of the time
a vedere il video qui su RUclips, per me le eliche che meglio si adattano al tuo volo e al tuo setup/build sono proprio Ethix P2 con loro sembravi completamente trasportato nel flusso e quando il drone deve bloccarsi in aria lo fa in maniera ferma come un chiodo, ok manca un pelo di spinta, ma con quelle forse tu non ti rendi conto ma entri in simbiosi
Wow what a great comment 😅 when I fly the P2 though I just feel like I am lacking that top end power. Almost like there is a bit too much drag. Decent prop but maybe not for my style based on feeling alone 😅
damn.....!!!!
always gives good flow ..

Thanks!!! 🤠
