For the rest of the world: 992g.

Great experiment showing clearly not only the pulling power but also the stability on both drones.. !! Thank you for your sacrifice on the prop and I guess might be also the engines:) (I'm wondering if it's just like vehicle towing which would wear the transmission out...).

Thanks for your sacrifice. Good to know the differences.

Thanks for the test. Answered the questions I had regarding the lifting power, and whether accessories could be added.

Thats one expensive lawn mower :D... Thanks so much for all your effort, it really makes the wait for our mavics a little shorter. Congrats to the 4k subscribers! Greetings from Germany

The Mavic could probably get a bit more lifting power if the weight was centered. The way you have it the Mavic can't go full speed with the front motors or it would flip.

Your tests have been awesome, thanks for sharing.

Love all the mavic videos man! 👍

Another great test Michael - love your videos.

Cool video Mike ! Thanks.

Dude! That was awesome! I am super jelly as I am waiting for mine to be delivered here in Toronto. Great videos!

Fantastic test, answers all my questions in regards to adding more camera. Thank you, well earned 4000 subs. NIce

Awesome very stable. Seems it will go full power regardless of the mode so great in high wind.

Brilliant video Michael! SUPER helpful (thumbs up).

Many thanks for the test. 👍 ✌

Thank you for this. Hopefully I get my Mavic soon. I was going to make a small light bar for mine guess not lol

Love your tests. Good to see was just a prop hurt. Tha ks for all your videos man.

great video Michael and happy thanksgiving

Phantoms is known for its strength, reliability. Love them. Built like a tank. Great video man. I have subscribed 💪💪

Hi Michael, I don't comment much but have been enjoying all your videos about the Mavic. Glad the phantom 3 survived intact. I have pre ordered the Mavic back at the beginning of October and still patiently waiting. Here in the UK were seem to be the last country to receive them! Sandy

Thank you for the video.Modes won't really matter what would actually matter would be the Props/the amps the battery provide/the motor. Thrust power make a difference, thank you for this video again.

Hi Michael! Great test! Can you tell me which phone are you using with the Mavic? Looks like a Galaxy S6 or S7 Edge. If it is the S7, can you tell me if you have any difficulties with DJI Go app? (I'm wondering which phone to pick to control a Mavic) Thanks!

Good test, interesting video.

This is something I wondering about. Thanks!

Love your videos, you deserve a sub for this one:)

I decided to first try my hand at camera drone flying before removing the rope from my neck and standing down. Thank you for sharing what not to do.

OO man good to hear the Phantom made it. Just finish seeing the whole video.

sheet of vinyl tile for launch pad, brilliant , been using a stiff throw rug, am off to home depot!

Very impressive Michael! You sure do take risks to provide info for your subscribers my friend! Anyone who hasn't yet subscribed is missing out on great content! Thank you Michael for your videos and I'll be looking forward to your next one! :)

Michael I see it has been mentioned already. The only flaw with your pulling test, might be that your attach point on the Mavic is way behind the CG. That is causing the rear motors to max their output while allowing the front motors to only output enough to keep her level. I really think if you could find a way to pull from the CG you could almost double your result. Glad it was you though, and not me with my new Mavic!

Hi Michael, really enjoy your work, waiting for my Mavic to arrive. A few questions I have are unanswered currently online it seems. Wondering if we can shed some light please. 1. DJI's webpage for the Mavic states "You can also add an additional remote so that you can control the Mavic with two remotes or share First Person View (FPV) videos." Has anyone tried or verified this? I've seen reviews that explicitly say it's not possible. 2. Can the DJI Go App help us manage multiple batteries and try and use them each evenly? E.g. number of flights per battery serial number. 3. Does the controller show the Mavic's height above ground level, altitude (sea level), or only the height gained above the original home point? The latter seems to be the case but I see this as a risk if you've launched it from the highest vantage point so it will 'drop' if tracking a POI. 4. Is it possible to store 'profiles' of setting combinations in the app to easily switch between? E.g. with one tap, switch on portrait mode + manual exposure + tripod mode for panoramic photos, rather than manually toggling each. Thanks!

Best drone cargo test I have ever seen! Looks like attaching a GoPro to Mavic is feasible. Will you?

I had a feeling that the p3 was not going to like that. Good test tho. Happy Thanksgiving

superkowo :) pozdrawiam i życzę udanego wieczoru :) Michał

congratulations on 4,000 subscribed!!

Great job! the pulling point need to be centered to get the all lifting juice out.

fixed vs unfixed wire/weight. what you think will happen?

the p3 is obviously the strongest….it pull the earth to it.

Good to know!

My friend's P3 crashed once and the motor wouldn't stop. He needed to kick it a couple times to make it totally flat. Does not stop even after battery is removed. It seems to have some backup storage capacitor etc. Could smell the wires and stuffs. What is the correct way to stop ?

Ballsey move, no, I won't risk mine, but thanks for answering that question.

Good vid. Thought it would have pulled more.

did any of these drones get stronger from there little workout?

Cool video Michael...the crash was intense. Great to talk with you and Tony tonight.

Mavic is solid as a rock. Power is nothing without control! ;-)

great work! great channel! ever thought about make o distance comparison between normal and sport mode? and duration of flight between then?

You made a mistake with your Phantom tether setup. The tethered string should have been attached far higher up than on the bottom of its legs. Attaching the string so far down introduces 'positive feedback' into the attitude control loop: e.g. veering rightwards will result with (from our POV) the tether pulling the bottom leftwards, so tilting the Phantom clockwise, making it it veer even more rightwards, tilting it even more clockwise, and so on. This is the primary reason why the Mavic seemed relatively stable: the tether was connected relatively far higher up on the Mavic's body (the ideal position for the tether attachment is directly between the props, level with them, freely pivoting). Had you instead connected the tether higher up on the Phantom's body, it would have resulted with it being about as stable as the Mavic. Try again, if you dare :)

Good info! My Mavic Pro can lift around 350g but struggles.

Wow, thought for sure it was going to be more than a prop.

Nice video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Try to make longer string about 10 meters and test again!

1.) No one beats the stability, reliability, and lots more of a genuine DJI Mavic Pro. 2.) What to do with 5.1 lbs of pulling force going in all random undefined directions just not in the one it is supposed to? 3.) Nice attempt tho, thx for trying out :)

What a brave test Mike, thought your P3 was dead, bet you wouldn't have been laughing if the Mavic had nose dived.

Dang, thought for sure you were gonna hit the tree on the last liftoff!

Hello great video i am wondering if I should get the mavic or p4p and do you know if the mavic is good in very high wind because i am on the beach so it gets very windy. But anyway love your videos all the way from Australia

I think you should've put prop guards on the phantom if you saw it was that unstable

Interesting even though I don't plan on lifting anything. It appears the Mavic is much more stable than the Phantom. I couldn't see where you attached to the Phantom but the landing pads on the Mavic are aft of the center of lift so inherently if there were full thrust on all props it would pitch nose up. Therefore to keep level it has to reduce thrust on the forward props. Also if you attach to just one landing pad it would also slightly reduce thrust on both props on the other side. If you could rig a bridle that put the load about under the forward sonic sensor you should be able to get a little more lift. I am glad the Phantom survived as the crash look awful dramatic.

Nice. One thing though. With the string attached at the back of the Mavic the front props wouldn't be doing hardly any work as the stability system adjusts for the unbalanced load. I'm pretty sure that if the string was attached at the front and back (to make a "Y" shape) it would lift more, probably a lot more. And yeah pounds is so mid 20th century. 8^)

Hi on the mavic you tied the string to the rear of the mavic so wouldn't that just be the 2 rear props doin most of the lifting and not all 4 props??? Brilliant test tho my heart sank as ur p3 hit the ground glad it was ok 👍👍👍

Michael thanks for doing all these tests so I dont have to :) If my Mavic doesnt make it by Christmas I will be dissapointed..Mine is from a dealer who ordered 3 days before the public got to order and we are still waiting :( I should have went with DJI directly.

If you attach the string and the center of the Drone you would be able to lift more like 4 lb because this way only the rear two propellers are trying to lift the other front two aren't doing anything

So looks like the mavic could still be used for surf fishing? I usually run a 4oz sinker and 2 oz of bait.. what do you think?

very nice video :)

Oh man when that big clunky white one started to go into the ground in a perfect arc "mayday mayday". Made my thumbs twitch😂🌪🦂🌪I own toys that break. It's so much better when it's not mine exploding. Cool it's fixed. Mavic FTW! A little but stable is better than more and unstable.

Americans with their pounds etc..

Phantom may have peaked at over 5lbs., but I would say it doesn't matter how much payload you can haul if it's uncontrollable and will cause a crash. Mavic for me please!

Hi, I'm desperately trying to get one of these for my husband for Christmas, we placed an order and now it is in back-order. Do you know who has in stock? Please!

thank you for sharing . maybe this title ? I distroy my Drone to show you how heavy it can lift

Does it even lift bro?

Did this damage the drone or was it OK?

How did you get your mavic? It's like everybody has them

Nice Idea Nice Presentation. Dude This Place Is America ?

Holy instability.. the phantom 3 really was not stable at Max load. The mavic pro was far more stable at Max load. Also I can confirm the mavic pro can lift 3.5 pounds but I would not trust it to fly very far with 3.5 pounds attached.. but safe limit to lifting and slowly carrying .. 3.5 pounds, you have to center the weight.. rear or front bias best you can do is about 2 pounds.. My friend has a Phantom 4 Pro and that thing is super strong but at it's limit it is just as instable as your phantom 3 was. Some people said I. Comments that weight was too low, I can understand this but most people will attach to easiest anchor locations.. aka the feet of the phantom..

Beer delivery ;)

how high can the mavic pro lift 1 lb

nice. =)

When you literally stand under the Mavic .. but have to land the Phantom to adjust. Kudos

Phantom is a beast

well 2.3 + the weight of the scale .. as you lifting that too

Not really the best idea for the bird but I'm glad someone risked there mavic for this

Horrible party fowl right there with the wreck. Great video though. Thanks for crashing yours so we don't have to.

1:43 Not 2.3 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound, not 10. 2:00 Nope.

Just to be precise it did not pull 2 "point" 3 pounds. It pulled 2 pounds 3 ounces, which is about 2.1875 lbs.

You lift bro?

How did you already get the mavic? Just curious

2.3 kilos?

If you want to lift heavy stuff , build your drone . My 810mm with 5208 360kv motors and 18" carbon-fiber props and 10000mah 6S battery can lift 32 lbs. (counting it's own weight) a touch over 7 lbs. Not real stable with a heavy load .

Ship me a beer

Load not centered/balanced

Is your dads first name Doug

Seeing that drone crash broke my heart

Not 2.3 and 2.1 lbs. It read 2 lbs 3 oz, and 2 lbs 1 oz. 😉

Haha now the mavic can pick up the pieces of the phantom 3

My Mavic can only handle about 500g max for a flight...

He said 2.3 threes pounds. It was 2 pounds 3 ounces, which equals 2.1875 pounds, not 2.3 pounds.

Fastest way to burn you motors out

Awesome way to get money from Adsence....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

most interesting test i've seen,it's just showed the limit of mavic pro exactly poor english from china

Haha brutal crash
