Related to my other thread about mounting the Flir Vue Pro on this drone, I was a little concerned if it was going to be able to handle it. I've seen a little discussion on here, but I didn't find a conclusive answer (maybe I missed it) on what it might carry. My gimbal and camera (and other parts) come to about 1lb 5oz. I made a water bottle,, with rocks and water, that is right at 1lb 9oz. Going over just a little, for a safety factor.
The drone handled it perfectly. It didn't really even act like it had a weight on it. No dipping when hovering, still quite responsive. I didn't zip around very fast, just casual flying, but it was very stable.
So now to finalize the assembly of the camera setup and get it on there.
I didn't do a flight time test, but flew around for about 5 minutes.
Just in case someone was interested in an actual payload test (unless I missed someone else's).
