Pleas and thank you. Great video. Do you attribute the shake to an unbalanced blade? Or some aspect of the blades?
Shakes: could be a multitude of things. The camera was mounted on a fairly flexible mount and hence, the slightest cage vibration would be emphasized the vibrations but I do not feel any of it - all good!
I like the ideea of one angle of the video being towards the motor, is that a go pro/similar or a smaller camera?
I also believe that it is due to the sensitivity of the action cams when wave-shaped images are created. It’s not the propeller’s fault. I made a lot of videos a few years ago, mostly to test folding propellers. The position of the cam can be seen in the video as an example. I simply attached the GoPro to the frame with cable ties.

I like how it records the sound of the prop also. Which go pro model is it? I’ve bought an Akaso brave 7, it has a lot of accesories but the sound is almost nonexistent. Now I have to search for something else.
I think it was the first model.

Do you guys use thread lock or some compression washers on the prop bolts or just screw them as they are?
I’ve only used quick prop release until now…
I’ve started to use compression washers, the ones with a cut in them and when taking the motor off, I saw a piece of aluminum motor thread coming out, due to the presure made by the washer. Don’t want that to repeat for sure.
Also read that thread lock even medium can damage alu threads…
But without annything, on gas ppgs they landed with bolts unscrewed all the way. I know the vibrations are not the same but still…
So how is it recomanded for the eppg?
I only torque them to the indicated number on the blade which I believe is 8kN. I fly ocean sites and the salty air/mist actually acts a bit like a thread lock. I never take my propeller off - my SP is always pre-assembled. The only red Loctite bolts are on my swing arms - I have the titanium old style models (Batch-1) and they had a tendency to loosen. I actually have two nuts with red Loctite on each swing arm bolt to keep the whole thing in place. Has worked ok so far over the years with an occasional Loctite drop if I feel one arm is getting to much lateral play.

On the six prop screws you’re using green lock tite? Is the green softer than blue? I’ve only heard of blue and red.
What main nut are you refering to?

Yes, on six screws Im using green lock glue.
Green is more safety than blue, blue can be easly removed without hot air, green is more safe, need hot air to be removed and much easy to be removed than red, red in my opinion is not necessary for these sixe screws.
