    Very true. Didn't think of that. The work around is to have the string at a length like 10 feet so it wot effect it. Also this brings up a good point... wouldn't the wind with the current set up effect the load as well?

    I've been thinking about getting one for light lifting around the house, like fetching my shoes from another room, or other light things when I don't want to get out of my chair, but even though this could apparently carry my shoes, it's SO loud that, living in apt. building, I think it might bother the neighbors. Sounds about as loud as a vacuum, so I guess I could run it for quick bursts during the day, which is all I'd need, but still.....so loud. I don't know much about these things, but I'm assuming there is a motor for each fan, and it would probably be quieter to have one motor and a belt drive to run all the fans. That might reduce the dB some. I wonder if anyone makes drones like that?

    weight X on scales. Attach Mavic. go to full throttle and look at weight on scales again. Minus 2nd weight from the first and that should give you its maximum lift in one try? Ps think sports mode would make a difference

    corey bkguy I think it will do the opposite. I'm not an expert on this matter, but I think faster gears mean more speed and less power. If you look at a car, you can get a higher speed in second gear than in first gear, but the first gear will pull a higher total weight. I don't know if the gears in a drone will work in the same way tho, but I would definitely be interested to see an experiment on this subject.

    Great video bro, did you guys hear about DJI not supporting Android anymore? that sucks for all of us Android users not to be able to fly with our devices, first i didn't believe it until me and my friends drones stopped working, this is bullshit..
