Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
If you haven't tried balancing props before, you're going to be surprised at what you see the first time you do. Better quality props come very close to balanced from the factory but crappy props can need a lot of work to get them just right. Balanced props help keep airframe vibration and wear and tear on motor bearings to a minimum. Camera sensors, which seem to be most sensitive to higher frequency vibrations, benefit from having well balanced props. This is the prop balancer I bought because it has a thin shaft that fits through the 3mm holes in the EPP1045 props that came with my MK.

If you're using props with 5mm or 8mm holes, you can use just about any of the balancers available in hobby shops or online.
Here's a great video on balancing not only the prop blades but the hubs also.

Give it a try and then see if you notice improvements in copter stability and vibration levels as well as video/photo quality. Your motors will appreciate it.
