Carbon fiber all the way. 13" 13x4.4 for agility, testing, recreation and 14" 14x4.8 for aerial photography and stability in windy conditions, heavy lifting (and elevation).
LP adapters.

Is a prop lock not required for this setup?
Ok, Damon... you've officially freaked me out about my QR props. Thanks!
Now give me some links to all sources. And imagine me muttering your name under my breath as I go through the extra set-up time for my missions.
No increased flight time from the 14x4.8 props themselves - but more secure, stable and slightly quieter flight performance.
The battery mod can add full battery redundancy so you keep flying in the event the DJI battery fails or even shuts OFF in flight. It can also add flight time yes. (up to 25min for X5, up to 30 min for X3).
Thats Awesome! Do you see a difference in speed of the craft with the extra weight?
What lipo packs are you running on the side? Do you have a link to the battery mount adapter and battery mod?
Thanks for all the info man!
What gains are you running for each? I assume there are some pretty different handling characteristics vs. stock. I have to admit I really like the stock QR setup (the new version).
Also curious to see how the rigid CF prop differs from the stock flex prop with respect to stability of video shooting and the gimbal mount, specifically the larger X5 (R).

Note I wouldn't draw any conclusions but the pilot did observe one missing prop, spiraling descent and it definitely crashed.
