Phantom 4 max take off weight.

[pwiggy]

I just received my phantom 4 and was wondering how much weight can the phantom lift in sport mode or P mode?

There is a you tube video about this it is @ 2.5 lbs.

IIRC that was less than the P3's max takeoff.

Not true
P4 struggle anything more than 1.5lbs

What about the P4P...anyone?

 

[thunderbird]

P4P has better carrying weight
I tried 1kg but wouldn't recommend stressing the p4p

 

[roosta]

More concerned without the payload, max safe/acceptable take off weight without any significant drain on the battery?

In this link you will find a video showing weight/consumption/flight time ratios.

how much pay load can a DJI phantom 4 handle

Why would the P be better? Isn't the propulsion system the same as P4 -P?

always fly on P mode if you're carrying weight

 

[RémyHeli]

Generally by P4P we mean P4 Pro, not P4 flying in P mode. So can we agree P4 Pro has same propulsion performance as all other P4 (not talking about battery and quick release prop mount).

1:15 is of interest.

I remember last time this was posted, most amusing is why you might need to mark the props with a sharpie prior to butchering the end off with side cutters.

I'd like to see some tests without stressing out the motors/propellers with extra unnecessary weight - I was looking more at adding a skin/sticker, gimbal guard and prop guards....not much weight at all, obviously, but would be great to know the overall effect of certain grams on the total available battery life?

Expect to loose 1.2 to 1.7s flight time per gram of additional weight added (weight alone, additional drag is also a contributing factor).

You might want compensate with higher capacity battery option having +500mAh for + 13gr. only extra battery weight if I remember well. Budget permitting..

BEWARE: dont put sticker containing metal particles!

I have 2 genuine Dji batteries for my P4P. I appreciate the info regarding weight affecting the flight time.

I'm a bit concerned about 3rd party (and extra capacity) batteries. They would probably weigh more... Can they void warranty? Who here uses them and which manufacturer? Interested to learn some opinions.

You mean like the mettalic foil dji sticker on top?

We are in P4 category forum, not P4P, so I assumed you possibly don't have 5'870mAh battery part 64 but rather 5'350 (part 54). If you have already 5'870 it's fine.
