Why would you buy cheapo replacements rather than the real thing?
As I said,I am confused. Which one of these is the real thing? Original Mavic $33.95?

do I need to replace the other 3 sets (they all look good and smoth edges) too?This is what you should be looking at.

Do all four sets have to be replaced at the same time. The other three sets are in good condition
Props that look fine and/or are not damaged do not need to be replaced. Some people like to replace them after x hours of flight anyhow, but that seems kind of counterproductive as a prop could become damaged after any period of use (short or long).
Thanks msinger. That is exactly what I am going to do. Just replaced the damaged prop and kept the other three sets in place and am ordering anothere set A+B. Thanks again for your quick input.
Interesting that if you scroll down to where it shows who made these, it does not say
It gets a little more interesting if you scroll down even further. You'll then see the actual DJI packaging.

I would either choose DJI OEM: or Master Airscrew ENDURE for the mav.3.
If one is chipped, replace them all. It's not truly necessary, but better safe than sorry. I always replace all 4 at once if a single prop is nicked.
I replace all originals with Master airscrews, I love the color options and the fact I can use different colors front to back. Makes it much easier to see in the sky. They are also much quieter. Mostly I like the color optionsThis might be a good opportunity for you to explore the next best thing to OEM, our friends over at Master Airscrew make excellent props for your Mavic 3: Master Airscrew: Mavic 3
For this, you would want to replace all 4 with same but you can compare them to the OEM; much of the favorable feedback is consistent with my personal experience with them (but I don't work there and I don't "endorse" them) since I used them for all of my non-FPV DJI drones.
