I live mine too. I use the Gemfan Hurricane 5236 or Dalprop Spitfire T5147.5.. It's an abosolute gamechanger.. And WOW MAN!! My goodness you live in a beautiful place..
I use a backpack by Smatree amzn.to/3wXaHKU it's expensive but very good, I purchased that one because of how compact it is, the quality is top notch. If you are looking for a less expensive hard case this is a nice props on case amzn.to/3IY3NaA
I fly regular FPV Quads and was exited to try these adapters but was disappointed in the results. I to like the Nazgul Props and the Ethex S5 and S4 props. I found that the punchout was not as strong as the DJI Stock Props and there was no noticeable difference in prop wash. The motor temps were also higher with the non DJI Props. For me I switched back to the DJI Props because I like the quick removal to put it in the bag. I do see the cost advantage if you are starting out in FPV and crashing the Nazgul are much cheaper. 🍍
Give the Dalprop Spitfire T5147.5 a shot too, I've been flying those lately, motors are slightly warm to the touch still but not bad, punch is pretty good too.
I recently bought a few sets of the Spitfire's they are on the drone now, they are very comparable to the Nazgul 5140's Didn't notice a huge difference between the two, I got speeds in the Mid 80's on the Spitfire and low 80's on the Nazgul. Handling feels about the same both excellent props.
Found using dal spitfire and gemfan gave me insufficient battery when coming out of hard banking speed 61mph on coming out of turn it struggled to get 12mph with battery warning I put originals back on no battery issues no speed drops so I'm back on originals
I tried out some 5045 bi blades. More efficient and faster in sport mode 63 mph vs 61 mph I was getting on stock props but I like the overall feel of the nazgul 5140
@@AerialPixel Thank you for replying , I have just got some prop adapters for my DJI FPV drone and some blue medrm locktite thread locker. I asked on a DJI FPV drone group on Facebook if I should use threadlocker but the response I got from most people was it maybe risky as there is plastic in the motor holes and some may fall into the motors, I feel the prop adapters will need thread locker. What's your opinion on this? Thank you 🙏🙏
I'm not sure where they are getting that there is plastic in the motor holes, perhaps they aren't familiar with the Aikon prop adapter install. The black plastic ring on the motors is removed leaving only the aluminum motor bell. Any metal-to-metal screwed connection should use thread locker. I would recommend applying the thread lock to the screws and allowing it to air dry before installing them.
@@AerialPixel Great thank you I will do that, thank you for your help I was sure it was just metal to metal, they just said they had been using the prop adaptors for ages without threadlocker and always been fine and was risky using it. I agree with you that it's better to use it as the motors are spinning at such a high speed, lot of tension on those little screws. Thanks again 🙏
Which Antennas you use ? Are you have any Range Extenders for the Goggle ? Which Setup you got ? If i would fly behind them Trees and Streets, i see bricks and cubes and then the link would end. You got any Tips for me ?
On the DJI FPV drone with the V2 goggles I use the standard antennas. Increase the power to the highest mw available in your area. I use the V1 goggles for most of my traditional FPV drones and use the iFlight Crystal system on those, range is crazy good with that system. Do not use that system on the V2 goggles though, they are not dual band compatible. iFlight Crystal Patch: amzn.to/3nMrV8D iFlight Stubbies: amzn.to/30W9cPv
aaah okay... thank you mate! So you mean i can't use the iFlight System with my DJI DRONE ? I just have this FPV Drone and I love It 90% ! But sometimes dem Crackups make it hard to love it 100% you understand ?
@@AerialPixel I’ve looked at a lot of your videos but haven’t seen any comments addressing flight time differences with the gopro added. Could you shed some light on that please? I’ve heard that without the GoPro you’re looking at 9min full acro and 15ish minutes while keeping everything fairly level.
Where did u pick up your tiny colored numbers and letters on your wing at? And also does anyone make a m5 shaft prop that is similar to DJIs stock design to retain punch out and top speed?
Awesome!! I’ve looked for hours trying to find the right size and style for my quads , definitely be placing a couple orders with u guys very soon!! Thanks!!!
I've got two DJI FPV Drones and had the direct comparission between original and Aikon (but with GEMFAN Hurricane 5236) and they are much much better, the drone flies more stable, faster and is not as loud as with the original props. Funny i got the same electric screwdriver, its from Banggoood right? But with the Loctite you have to be sooo careful...if you use too much, you will never again be able to open the screw again.
I like the GEMFAN Hurricane's too, I use those on several of my traditional 5in quads too. I got my Wowstick screwdriver on Amazon, but yes, it's popular on Banggood too. The blue Loctite is the removable one, but yes a little bit goes a long way.
I like them on traditional FPV kwads, but I think there would be too much amp draw for the DJI FPV, may even throw some motor overload errors. Top two favorites right now are the Dalprop Spitfire T5147.5 and the Nazgul 5140's
No, there are no differences in flight altitude. I haven't been to a higher altitude location like a mountain range yet, but just normal flight is good. Fly safe!
Yeah, I had to dump my case since the props couldn't stay on. Ended up getting this a week after making this video, a little expensive but well worth it: amzn.to/3n8M6My
Standard DJI rates 160, 420, 0.54 all the way down. Since this video I have been gradually increasing my rates to feel more like my traditional 5" kwads.
I have not tried 5.5" the DJI props are 5.3" and seem to have room to spare. Using a prop that size you may want to keep the pitch down a bit though, I would guess between 3.0 and 4.0 Report back if you try them!
Just some heads up, I did some measuring for you, since I don't have in 5.5" props on hand, the props may touch tips, it will be really close. You have plenty of clearance at the body of the drone but the front props and back props will come really close to touching.
Not with the Nazgul props, one reason they are my favorite so far. No washout or wobbles on recovery either. Everything just feels really tight and precise.
@@belovedLion80 I haven't noticed flight times being any shorter, I do find myself flying more aggressively now though because it flys so much better with the Nazgul props.
I've been running the Dalprop Spitfire T5147.5 and you can get them a bit faster, I've gone 93 mph on those. Keep in mind it's not just about speed with the props, the drone handles so much better with a more rigid prop like the Nazgul and Dalprops.
I've flown traditional FPV for 3 years now, the DJI FPV drone has it's place with it's advanced features like return to home, extended flight times, etc. The purpose of this video is to show the use of better and cheaper props compared to the standard DJI quick release props, not debate traditional FPV vs DJI FPV.
@@AerialPixel so that dji fly only few minutes longer and for intentions of fpv, the return home buttons is pretty pointless, unless it detects when you lost video feed and avoids crashing.the dji is only good for cinematography and yeat the camera inside this one is not so good compared to gopro. Plus im not telling you specifically, just overall, why to hassle with those props... Get a drone for 100-200$ and it will fly better.
That can't be further from the truth (in the United States at least), you may want to do a little research on this. It's obviously not a good idea to loiter over a neighbors property as you could get into privacy issues at that point. If you stop and think about it using your logic you wouldn't be able to fly anywhere as someone owns all the property you fly over whether it be a private or public entity.

OK Im down for this but before I pull the trigger, recommend me a case/bag to carry it without taking off the props

Hello friend, did you have any problems using these nazgul 5140 propellers on the DJI FPV?
Did you warm up the engines?
No problems, motors stay fairly cool.
Waiting for mine to arrive. Just look so much better. I plan on using biblades
Report back on what you think using bi-blades, I've only used a bunch of different tri-blades so far.
Look so much better than OEM
Top my friend 👌
Do you use the blue thread locker on the prop adapters?
Yes, I use blue. Blue is the best for this application in my opinion (if you want to be able to remove them in the future).

Hi bro , i install those props now but the drone cant fly on normal mode
How so? Should fly better in all 3 modes. I've not heard any reports of it not. What issues are you experiencing?

@@estK-mh1uv just do the drone hack for more range! Worked so good for me in Europe!
How many minutes of flight do you get with its propellers ?
Depends on your flight style, my flight times seem to be about the same as with the DJI props.

No, they are only compatible with the DJI FPV drone.

You can pick up our FAA registration decal set on our website here bit.ly/faadecals
I've had good luck with the Dalprop Spitfire props.
Awesome!! I’ve looked for hours trying to find the right size and style for my quads , definitely be placing a couple orders with u guys very soon!! Thanks!!!
Any limit to the prop sizes, i.e 5.1 inch is max, and limit pitch?
I've flown Dalprop Cyclone's T5249C the 5.2" size fits fine, that pitch is getting toward the upper limit, motors were getting a little warm.
@@AerialPixel dji props are 5.3" but what is the pitch? nevermind found it. 5.3x2.8x3
Where did you get your FAA tag? I would like to do mine the same because I keep losing sticker.
You can find them on our website here bit.ly/faadecals
Hey bro can u say what is the pitch circle of those 3 holes on the adapter please
The PCD is 12.0mm and the screws appear to be M2 0.4 pitch.
Anyone tried the HQ 4x4x6 props. Love the whisper sound on quadmovr youtube videos and they go insane. I ordered some 😆

How do you feel about Lumenier gatebreaker props
They feel kinda sluggish to me

@@AerialPixelIs it the same now?
@@문경준-p8o I don't use the DJI FPV as much as I used to. I have the Dalprop Spitfire T5147.5 on there now, they fly pretty good too.
What size screws for the motor mount?
The screws come with the prop adapters, they are M2 screws 0.4 pitch. There are 3 screws per motor.
Nice bro
Does it affect your flight altitude
No, there are no differences in flight altitude. I haven't been to a higher altitude location like a mountain range yet, but just normal flight is good. Fly safe!
They really need to restock these
Agreed, I don't think Aikon was ready for the overwhelming response from these. Good for them! Hope they can crank out more soon.
It looks great 👌iflight versus dji fpv 👍👌🔝
I guess this makes the cases like GPC and Nanak obsolete.

Thx
Nice, btw what rates are you using in the clip?
Standard DJI rates 160, 420, 0.54 all the way down. Since this video I have been gradually increasing my rates to feel more like my traditional 5" kwads.
I need this and get transparant props so it show on the feed
Just adjust your settings in the goggle menu to get rid of props in view. Turn on image stabilization.

can it fit 5.5" props ? 😈

Did you notice any lost in punch out power or anything like that ?
Not with the Nazgul props, one reason they are my favorite so far. No washout or wobbles on recovery either. Everything just feels really tight and precise.
What about time loss?
@@belovedLion80 I haven't noticed flight times being any shorter, I do find myself flying more aggressively now though because it flys so much better with the Nazgul props.

Like all my other FPV drones I leave the props on always.
Just get plastic storage box have everything you need to fly with props on drone
Nice video. But it's illegal to be flying on your neighbors property 🙂
That can't be further from the truth (in the United States at least), you may want to do a little research on this.

You or your neighbors don't own the airspace above your house or property.
