I've just learned that these arrive in NZ on 11 Feb. I haven't seen any reviews online. Has anyone got any experience with them?

It appears to be off the market now but it mounted the existing prop blades further out, giving a wider prop diameter and so gave brilliant low-down grunt to get you up out of the water. The prop diameter is 15cm, 16cm and 17cm for the 2-blade, 3-blade and Magic Hub prop hubs.I found the difference between the 2-blade and MH to be astounding! I asked on the Facebook group if there was much difference between the MH and 3-blade, which came out sometime later, and was told that the 3-blade was a bit better. I used the 3-blade once and felt that I was simply spinning my tyres by comparison and sold it.

A rusty beer can would give more low-down grunt than the standard 2-blade prop, and I ran the Magic Hub on the Gen1plus for ages without problems. I tried the 3-blade prop as I'd heard it was better but didn't find that was the case, so I ditched the 3-blade and stayed with the Magic Hub.

I tried a waist-belt home-built version but didn't like it. It felt like the battery pack sloshed around sideways too much, even when the belt was very tight.
I now put the battery in a Camelbak and it feels much more stable, perhaps because there's less swing weight around my spine.
I agree that backpacks seem like a bad idea when using a monster battery but I'm using a 10s3p and it's great!
Getting the battery weight off the board made an enormous difference in responsiveness, I totally recommend a backpack system. Just be ready to ditch it if necessary.
