How durable are the springs? I owned a couple Flightstick Pros a long time ago and the springs broke after a few months.

I have two Flightstick Pros. One is 13 years old. The other is about two years old. Both work fine. Springs in the 13 year old one are looser than the two year old ones, but, work fine. It is still the best stick I ever found.

The springs are pretty durable. I've been using mine for the last couple of months and I've seen no significant deterioration.

I've had mine for 3 months and three springs have broken. I use it every day for 30 minutes, but am way under the weight limit (I'm 145 lbs).

Used one in my Z, has been pretty good for a few years, although finally dying - the locks, to the actuator's credit, are really stiff though. I used the other one to remote-fire a paintball gun behind my front grille, and it's held up even better :) I'd buy 'em again.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

"Yes" they are very durable. Have been using them for over a year now and have not had any problems with them.

I use them everyday to cut chicken wings into little pieces for my little old dog. After about six months, the spring part broke off. I still use them. They cut bones really well, but it was easier with the spring.

Mine is holding up great. Haven't had to change the pads yet. I've only put new, wider pedals on it (Moove), better grips (Moove), and a better fork on it; Manitou Tower Pro. Other than that, just put some slime tubes in it.

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

all works well until dropped/falls over = fine for money and factory replaces stupid moves,sometimes.i'm pcp now = no recoil so i'm not as hard on my equipment as i used to be...when failed, factory replaced - recommend!

my first one arrived with one of the springs in the battery compartment broken off. Maybe there was a production run with bad soldering?

I use mine on my ipad and have no problems with them. Unless you are really rough with them I dont see them breaking. I like them and would buy again once the pad at the bottom wears out. so far so good!

Ive never used PRO, but love my M4s. Used it during two combat tours in Iraq with 82nd Airborne. The M4s are nearly indestructible. Jumping out of airplanes, falls, drops... never once did it lose its zero. I stayed with the M4s for its proven reliability and durability.

No - they are not repairable. I've never had a problem with the springs that provide traction wearing out - usually the molded elastic vinyl breaks after a couple of seasons and I have to buy a new set. But I don't mind since they are so effective and not very expensive.

I've had mine for a few months. Only issue I came across was my own issue. I didn't tighten a screw all the way and I thought my sticks where warped. After I tightened it, the sticks worked good.

The spring is strong and fast. I've used them and are good for snares. Hope this helps.

Mine lasted a bit longer but eventually it also stopped working in mid flight. Green light comes on showing power to the board but nothing else. There are other gimbals out there and you always get what you pay for.
