Great Balancer, but Needs Something...
I have used this balancer to balance a large number of props, since receiving it. It's a great design, sturdy built and works great. It is especially useful in balancing larger, quadcopter/drone props like Phantom and Chroma.
The balancer comes with a universal balance rod, that fits a wide range of prop sizes. However, when balancing fixed-nut props, like Phantom, you will need a special threaded rod, specific to the prop. Since these props will not allow the balance rod to pass completely "through" the center of the prop, a special rod is needed. Also, I wanted to balance even my small, lightweight props, like on a Syma X5C or other toy-grade quadcopters. These cheap props are typically very unbalanced, but have a very small shaft hole. This is a problem with ANY balancer, since no balance rods exist for these small props. I have made my own, using a variety of material, including bicycle spokes. Once you make something fit, the balancer works amazingly well for these small props as well. And it makes a BIG difference in performance, even on the toy drones.
So, this is a great balancer, that will work on most ant prop. BUT, there are not enough balance rods available, for the large number of aircraft out there. This is a problem that shouldn't exist. Yes, you can make your own, but not everyone has that ability and wouldn't it be nice to have them available for this great balancer.Read full review
