Pictures were taken with a cell phone. No painting. The I1 is the Black edition. Love the props. They have a flat finish like the rest of the bird. They really look nice and work great. Yes, they are mounted direct. Xoar provided the shim that fits between the motor and the prop. My motor...

Thanks for your information. Since posting on this forum and after returning the KopterMax props, I did try the Xoar folding props but had some issues with mounting them. After contacting Xoar they provided me with a shim that fixed the mounting issues. I have about 50+ flights with these props...

Yes, the top part of the hub needs to be made wider so the prop shaft can go through the hole BUT the bottom will need to be reworked also. The bolt hole on the motor side of the hub has a shoulder. I suspect they did this in order to add another thread for the prop bolts to grab. The way it is...

Looks like there's a return on the horizon. I believe you may be correct but there is nowhere I have seen talking about any adapters needed. I looked at Xoar's sight and they don't mention any adapters being required. Thanks for your input.

Here's a set of pics with and without the prop locks. Based on the advertisement these should fit. As I said before this is a stock bird straight from DJI 2 years ago. Beats the heck out of me.

No adapters. This bird is 2 years old and stock. It came with the latest prop mounts. To my knowledge, the I1v2 Pro Black only came with one type of motors and mounts. I purchased these from Amazon and after looking at how many aircraft version these would fit I figured there would be no chance...

Just received my folding props today and it appears they don't fit. This is the Inspire 1 Pro Black. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Based on my observations about the KopterMax props I'll be interested in how the Xoar folding props fit and function overall. The quick disconnects used on the fixed blades really concern me. It looks like they are reversed threaded which will work but it looks like it could suffer some of the...

I purchased a set of folding carbon props made by KopterMax and sent them back. Absolutely beautiful set of props. The ability to fold them was great but I had some issues. First, they were louder than the stock props. I could hear them from several hundred feet away. I have been flying in the...

My suggestion is to always change the actions the bird will take when GPS or other connection issues happen when flying around or in obstruction like a building. Set it to hover in place if signal is lost. If you are flying with the GPS on and the action is set to RTH then you may have issues...

I think your first problem will be the limited number of batteries you have. Any continuous long term operation will require enough batteries to fly while charging the dead ones and that means at least 4 and probably 6 batteries. Also remember that you have to factor in that these are smart...

Right now is the time to get into a new Inspire 1 V2. The Pro version with the X5 was $2795 last week. The price jumped back up for now but I bet it will come down again. You might want to get the one with the X3 to get started so you can practice. You can get it for $1799 right now. If I didn't...

Yes, using IOS 10. There was another issue with the Focus Peaking using the 3.0.0. When set, it would not retain the setting once you turned everything off. I use it all the time to check focus and was a little disappointed that I had to go in and turn it on each time I booted the app. Hopefully...

After the 3.0.0 Go App update my transmission issues almost went away completely but when you try to calibrate the camera the verbiage in the calibration box is being overlay-ed on itself and you can't read it. Then a friend called me today and he was trying to find the Focus Peaking setting and...
