A simple way to balance drone propellers. The motor mount can be purchased on eBay. The device used to balance is the Dynexhobby Impulse balancer. Balancing propellers is the best way to reduce vibration when filming video on drones.
This video demonstrates how to balance an outrunner motor using the 4 point method. Small motors normally don't require balancing however larger motors may. A small imbalance was simulated for this tutorial using black PVC tape. The device used to balance is the Dynexhobby Impulse.
The method is presented here to dynamic balance the DJI Mavic Pro propellers. Many of the propellers checked using this method did not require any adjustment for imbalance. This method can be used if excessive vibration is experienced during flight
Here is a quick video demonstrating how to use the new multirotor designer. The designer calculates the critical vibration frequency of the airframe. The result is then compared to a finite element model of a X525 quadcopter.
Please watch this video before using any DynexHobby balancing or vibration analysis equipment.
This is an example of a single plane balance of an EDF. This uses the Dynexhobby Live Balance Method.
