Ill buy them if they rename folding props to floppy proppys
I second this
I recommended Gemfan call their folding prop the 'Floppy Proppy' 🤗
THE AYYS HAVE IT, THE AYYS HAVE IT
Floppy po proppies all the way!
Gemfan have the FLOPPY name for their foldables :)
Think you forgot to mention main advantage of foldable prop and that is the prop itsef does not serve as anchor when you crash in to the tree, greatly reducing chance you ll get stuck.
True. I’ve been “anchored” several times 100+ft up. Not fun retrieving.
Great point. We didn’t get that experience, yet, but, you are probably right
100
sick
The prop generally stays in the position that it crashed into the tree at and still hangs up .Many a Mavic can attest to that . They can fold away on initial contact and prevent a crash in the first place though.
Bald man fpv , I like your style. Real smooth and you seem to make the lines I pick out
he's got rad style
yeah I loved the "backwards through the little roof and faaaaar over the trees" ...
so much spatial awareness!
@@hateeternalmaver thats what its all about :)
Who is bald? Black?
Anton Gazaryan you should find your way back home, friend. I think you’re lost 🤷♂️
I see durable as a personal challenge for me to see how fast I can destroy them.
I’ve flown many packs with these props , they have stayed on my kwad longer than others . And for trees they are awesome. He got caught in the trees and even said something about “he’s still flying “ and yes when the prop hits something it collapses but as you get out of it and before you crash it opens back up and your still flying. They are the same price as other props so I think they most definitely are worth a try before you speak bad about them .
Really good video, more like this ! spcecial guests, people flying and helping each other !
I'd love to see more flight videos from baldman. Great style.
I like the first impressions of these props, they have a place and look interesting enough to check out.
I really like these props. Ordered 4 sets to start and really liked them. Waiting for them to come back in stock and im ordering 10 more sets.
Definitely going to give them a shot. Great vid guys
Got some arriving tomorrow, love that you have to assemble them and can pick the hub/prop color.
Fun review and test of a new prop. Informative and enjoyable. I've been flying the folders on my kwads. Pleasantly surprised on how well they work. 🤓
I would try them for sure! great video, thumbs up
I’ve flown 20 packs of these props on my freestyle quad (1900KV Emax Eco, 6S), some of which on a race meet - and I’m loving them. They’re *about* as fast as the Gemfan 51499 (which I love for the sheer power and durability) but feels more locked-in and confident around sharp turns. Throttle feel is, IMHO, on par with the DAL Nepal N1. 150kph punchouts were also super easy; no weird oscillations whatsoever.
Nice video. Looking forward to trying folding props.
I've tried these props in racing, so my conlcusions are(after 10 total laps and 2 sets of them):
Pros
-You don't get caught up on gates that easily.
-They feel punchier than my HQ 5.1x4.6
-Little less propwash than the mentioned HQ props
Cons
-They get mangeld up easily. The blades hit each other and leave indents on the trailing side of the blade. Especially in turtle mode(They turtle alright but you can only do it for a few times before the blades get messed up).
-Its a pain in the butt if you get one blade on the wrong way(Messed with for 10 min. to get it appart witheout braking the hub)
Conclusion: It works for racing okay, but i feel like they needed to add some kind of stopper so the props dont smash into each other. I will definetly wait for a v2, but i feel like they work a lot better for freestyle, especiallty when you hit something and you can still fly home.
how are they called? say pls)
i think ur right ... the props shoud have a ``stoper´´ so they cannot hit eachother .....
Thanks for the reviewed. Helped me make a decision.
Did they or anyone ever release a better design?
Nice flying Shawn!
I love the idea, the look, the function and I ordered a few.
Love the Mississippi State tee shirt! I have been wondering about these props.
Enjoy your wonderful and fantastic flight, bro😊😊👌🏻
Gday Drew, nice work testing folding props, great flying mate. 👍🛸
Maybe if he had current readings this woulda been easier.
Well I'm ok with assembly because I get to take advantage of multiple color combinations. I have my June box set and will try them soon. Thanks for the video and discussion gentlemen.
I thought that they left 'em disassembled so that you could mix and match three different colors of blades and use a different colored hub. Either way, I think that they may be a better cinematic prop, and the racing/fast freestyle might still do better with the solid hub. Next time, could you guys throw a blackbox log with the debug set to gyro_scaled, then compare the raw gyro spectrum analysis between that and the hq prop. Then you could see if they were well balanced enough and not introducing any new noise in the system. I've seen some pretty bad props looking at 'em this way.
Way too scientific for us. Haha. We science to the bare minimum, lol 😂
@@LetsFlyRC I kinda figured. It was interesting comparing the spectrum analysis between the T- motor 5143 to the Windancer 5043. Switching to the T- motor props pretty well solved the Jello issue I was having. UAV Tech had a pretty good prop vid that gave me the hunch to compare the black box log. I'll have to order a pair and check it out.
Can’t wait to get the foldable props in the Quad Box subscription !
they look bloody awesome, looking forward to giving them a go. hopefully we get some soon in australia. ripper vid lads👍
These props are fire! 🔥
Josh made those props look good. Great flying. Love that State shirt, too. :D
Looks weird without the cool anime hair 🙈
Exactly what I thought
@@Kevin.OBrien44 hi bro pls help me ,whats the best frame skyeliner or i flight 🤔🙄 pls help me
Malith Mindada depends what I flight frame your talking about.
@@Kevin.OBrien44 i flight nazgul 5 frame compere with skyeliner frame whats the best frame , .. pls help
@@malithmindada3195 of course I'm gonna say the Glide is what I'd recommend 🤗
fpvcycle.com/collections/glide-floss/products/glide-5-frame-constructed-of-premium-materials
Appreciate the crash reel
Portability is definitely the main selling point for me, especially on my 6inch which blades are always poking through my bag.
nice video dudes 🤘🤘
i love racekraft. ive been ripping on the same set of racekraft props for over a year, just keep bending them back.
It's called centrifugal force guys and it's a wonderful thing! Those of us who have flown RC airplanes and helis have loved them for decades. So much less likely to break props. Also easier to stow your craft without blades sticking out everywhere.
LOL you guys... Baldguy flew the most and absolutely killed it - but then didn't get to speak at the "what 'you guys think about..." part at the end. ;D
I'd love to fly those floppy proppys. Seems really innovative design! :)
It's surprising how smooth those props are!
One of my friends tried them. He's in love with them even if they have less thrust.
josh!!!!!! big pimpin nice rip looking good
I bought a set and they are great. Revolutionary. I just bought more sets. Great for storing your kwad in tight spaces for travel. And these props help buffer propwash out completely
I’ve flown here before and those covered walkways are way smaller than they look on camera. I have to give props to them for flying it so well! Pun intended.
Some cool sticks in this vid at a cool spot. Seem to fly nice but on the fence at present👍👌🔥
They turtle in sticks and come out of branches easier too also can take off in deep grass easier noticed less thrust but I really liked them
We are gonna wait for v2 as well!!
I got the 6 inch prototypes from Libby Tang and they are legit nice on a 6 inch. Makes my 6 much more portable. I have 5's, but haven't tried them yet. I think they would be stellar in a bando.
Drew was saying that larger sizes would probably be a great idea. 👍
Looks like the next step into fpv technology and innovation
Cool props but DAMN baldman can fly.
These props have save me several times from getting stuck in a tree or crashing from hitting a limb. Props out mixed with folding props is nice
Defo want a couple of sets of floppy propies 👌
Baldman rips!!!! Great review and video 👍👍
cool concept, ill try em.
I want to try them really bad. I love the idea that they fold on impacts and that they have a smoother wind up. Want.
Yeah but they fold on impact leaving the impact for your motor, destroyed a new xing 2306 unibell on my first crash with these 😭
I'm definitely trying to get these props. I love building so ill just have a bunch ready.
Ill be picking up a set for sure :)
Awesome 😎 bought some 😁
Pretty cool scene you guys mixing up trying new stuff, I gave these a shot they do feel smooth on a windy day not a big change versus regular props I did get stuck twice on a tree quad came down minimal damage on props I guess it depends how really stuck you are, my verdict Center Hub is week broke all four sets enjoy the video
Ugh, that little step-down thing Drew does at 9:55 where he almost skids on the roof is insane
Shoutout to the homie josh! I see you bro!
I've been flying the dal folding props for about a month now and I won't go back, they fly buttery 🤘🏻
I think they are awesome! One concern I have tho with mine is one crash I bent a motor bell and I feel like props that don't fold do add a little extra protection. When you asked the question
"would you rather replace a full prop or just one bent arm" My mind went to "would you rather replace a bent prop or a bent motor bell?
The quad fits better in to a case also or on the out side of a back pack with out without the prop sticking out
I guessing the folding decouples the prop blade oscillations from the yaw axis which will improve smoothness and especially nicer on flight controllers.
Add to that the blades are all made int he same mold and will likely be much better balanced when assembled.
If i spend time balancing cyclone 5040 props i can get virtually no jello without a ND filter on a bright summers day.
Sadly i think because of dynamic notch filters props are being made without very good balance lately these will likely be a big improvement of those.
I think they Seen awesome!
Dude can pilot!!
I love your videos
Baldman can rip! Would like so see more of him in future videos...the cops arnt here, he said PURPLE!
That was fun.
Well i m waiting for some of these to show up 😁😁
Any word on making updates on the stark frame from May’s kwad box? I have to cut down the ethix props to have them swing on the back it’s kinda annoying
Love them they last alit long was flying Gemfan but cost
S 3.50 every time
Dont care much for the props..BUT!! Super pumped to see Josh..excellent pilot super nice guy..good job Josh
That reverse prop noise... Heard it when testing to see if 6040 Cyclone props can do 3D flying. God the noise is right up there with Dumb & Dumber "most annoying noise in the world."
Especially in a parking garage. 😂
Was this filmed pre lock down and social distancing? Good looking props. 👍
Cool. I think Vortex is right. Longer lasting motors perhaps (But then again maybe that doesn't actually put any wear on our motors, it's just magnets -near- coils, heli linkages for sure). The drone would fit in my bag a little better thought :)
And WHOAH, I like your flying style Baldman FPV! Looking for a link now. Subbed.
It looks really durables, also there are nice for save space, maybe it's time to use it to know how smother there are..
A wadded up or broken prop is one that just absorbed a lot of impact destined your shaft/bell, arms, frame and electronics... plus these look like a pita to mess with.
btw.. helicopter's dont have folding blades for "less stress on the head"... its for attachment simplicity, foldability for trailering and hanger space, and the opposing blades self-align and balance. Some dont freely swing at all.
I don’t know of they’re better yet, but I want them to be!
Baldman was killing it! Subbed. The "fair price" for folding props that come already assembled might be higher than we're willing to pay, since they'd have to pay someone to do that. Guessing that's why they come in pieces?
i was convinced after first pack, i was skeptical when i ordered them, no i want more, i do not mind assembling them. ive hot a pole and kept flying. to my surprise
I can flown a few already and came up with they are decent for certain things like crashing in trees and the are pretty decent at responsivness and pullout power but the need to be more durable for sure the idea is there just not all the way there yet
LMFAO@ IT could have been in a hand catch!
I just got some of these for 7" and they arrived warped ☹️ is there a way to straighten them? Maybe boil and freeze or something? 😁
Man I can't get down the turn backwards half loop out clean. Thats a dope trick.
The issue with these props is that they knacker themselves.
The blades slam into each other on crashes causing slices and dints in the props.
Also the props slam into the hub at the base and cause significant damage to themselves.
I came to this realisation after four packs crashing into grass and clipping a few branches.
Drib, you guys should take advantage that you're in Orlando to fly one of the theme parks before they reopen. I'd love to see you guys RIP a few packs around the Epcot ball.
anybody know which brand of floppy proppy is the best to get? I know dal, gemfan, and foxeer all have their own versions but idk which to try first
Oh no! if it is assembled i go back to normal props .. the cool thing about these props because it is not exactly assembled !, is that if you need to replace a blade, you don't to get out the hum to get the blades .. that's why it's cool because you don't have to replace the prop entirely, you have a bag of blades, i have packs without using the hub! only blades, so keep it disassembled. it is more logical than delivering them assembled .. and with practice it goes super fast! ;) and it takes up less space in the bag .., I needed a blind test to prove to myself that they are good propellers (on the other hand, they are the gemfan .. not the dal .. (and damage that it is not compatible between the brands ..) ...) anyway, thanks for the video, continue guys, it's art at your level;)
Baldman, damn nice flying
Can't believe having to put them together is THAT big of a deal..... I love my floppy props
LOL. We crash A LOT. :)
Hi, I would like to learn how to do "wall taps". I had a drone with 2204 2300KV Emax motors, and was planning to update its FC with AIO Mamba F405 MK2, I was wondering, what would be better? upgrade or buy something totally new? (I was considering to upgrade because I already have lots of 5030 props for my current drone spare.) If you recommend something, what should I buy, consider a budget of 4000-5000 MXN, about 200 -250 USD. (Considering that I would have to update my transmitter, as the one I currently have doesn't' support S-Bus) On the other, hand, I plan to buy the FPV not immediately, so I would consider a whole budget part from the previous one. What do you guys think?
Hi bro pls help me ,whats the best frame skyeliner or i flight 🤔 pls help me
So, let me see if I can get this right! The last location traveled is Florida...?
I bought 3 sets Love them
What’s the weight difference between the folding props and the normal props?
I've flown about 15 packs on these props and I'll say from experience I'm super impressed. Super durable and I get treed half as often lol. My motors even run cooler on these.
do you guys send your products to portugal ?
Assembly is easy once you have done it once. I don't think it's an argument.
Will try mine out tomorrow on a 7".
The floppy props on DJI's consumer drones seem remarkably durable in crashes
Bro blackmanfpv is actually really good damn
Ive used them for 3d... theybare super smooth props, but they don't have a ton of grunt. My heavy ass CL1 struggles just a tiny bit coming out of a big dive witht them.
Where can I buy them?
