Carbon Fibre Props or Plastic?

 There seems to be a lot of debate online surrounding carbon fiber props vs plastic props. Some claim that plastic stock propellers are more reliable and provide more thrust. On the other side of the argument there are the carbon fiber fans. They claim that the carbon fiber props are quieter,stronger and give you extra battery life. So lets have a closer look at the pros and cons.

                                                                      A quick look at how they are produced below:

Pros of Carbon Fiber:

1. they produce less vibration due to their stiffness.
2. a decrease in the jello effect on the camera
3. they are lighter and stronger than the plastic props (but not indestructible)
4. a major factor for me is that they come balanced out if the box unlike many of the misshaped plastic props that DJI and other companies produce. 
5. They work well under high RPM which means a better performance when you are pushing the motors. 
6. Lighter weight = Less inertia = faster motor speed. This makes the controls more responsive to our command. It also translates to an increase in safety.

Cons of Carbon Fiber:

1. When you have a hard impact the props wont break so easily. This can put more pressure on the motors. (however during a mild impact they wont break and therefore keep your drone in the air)
2. SOME carbon fiber props result in a shorter fight duration. However this has not been my experience with all brands of Carbon Fiber props. I have only experienced this with cheaply produced carbon fiber props. (My current carbon fiber props increase my flight time)

Conclusion......
In my experience carbon fiber props are much better for experienced pilots but people new to the game should stick to the plastic stock props.
