ANOTHER TEST WOULD BE TO PUT 3 POUNDS IN THE BOTTLE...THEN LEAVE IT ON THE SCALE. THROTTLE UP AND SEE WHAT WEIGHT REMAINS ON THE SCALE. THE DIFFERENCE IS YOUR MAX LIFT WEIGHT!

Exactly the info I was searching for. Thanks for sharing your test results.

keep up the good work Chris, I love your videos. I cant wait for my mavic to arrive.

As always mate, thanks for testing and removing any temptation for me to do so! :)

Any time I think about doing something stupid with my Mavic, I think: i should check Chris's KZfaq channel and voilá

A nice piece of info! Props for including metric measurements ☺️

Thanks Chris, knowledge is power!!

Awesome! I was just thinking about this exact thing earlier today thanks for the video!

Thank you, I just got the "item drop kit" and I really wanted to know what the mavic pro could do.

thanks for doing this experiment brother, i just purchased a mavic pro and was wondering how much it could lift.

Thanks for this test!!

The Mavic's lift performance will change depending on your density altitude too. You might be able to lift a little more on a cold, dry day at sea level (assuming you're not already at sea level)

Nice vid!! Phew, could only imagine what your Mavic would need to have done to be in good refurbished condition LOL. Just got mine and am extremely PROTECTIVE over it and can’t even imagine doing the things you do to yours to mine but it helps with questions I had/have not to mention know what NOT to do. Haven’t even flown it yet until I watch more vids so I don’t have a heart attack and lose/damage mine. Subscribed 😌

I was waiting for the jug to explode from a prop hit and soak his magic, but nice test , now I know I can deliver zips & packs a couple miles out haha

I gotta be honest, you are the most serious funniest youtuber I have seen. Hahahah

Thanks for this video!

Great test! Would you do a wind text next? I flew in 10-15 MPH winds! No problems!

Thank you for doing these for us)

Looks like you've been trying to lift the back shed in the corner too! Any recommendations - I need to carry and drop a cricket ball.

Awesome! Two ideas. Use a fish scale upside down as that will measure the exact pull. Secondly, I'd LOVE to see how it does if you loop the string through the feet and try to lift from "behind" the center of gravity. Awesome stuff though man.

You can look up the motors thrust values in relation to the size/pitch prop used and calculate almost the exact lift capacity or im sure DJI already states this information somewhere?

cool! loved it!

This would also depend on how high you are above sea level and also air temperature.

impressive!!! good to know a camera bird that has a good payload cap. i cant afford a Mavic, happy with my Aton.

The error message Overcurrent Discharge was interesting.

Was payload mode engaged? Great test btw🎉🎉

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

cool experiment Chris... were you not worried that you might burn out the motors or something? mavic was sure working it's nuts off there

What are your mavic pro controller sensitivity settings?

im thinking getting a drone if its capable of lifting 20grams of weed around the blocks to my regulars??

To heck with the Mavic... Your shed is about to tip over!!! Catch it!! :)

You should have used a newton meter for an exact result

Was the drone on P mode or Sport mode ???

Do you think i can add extra 2 battery for longer autonomy if this hing can lift this weight. ?

I think what easily connect mavic directly to the scale and see his power of rising

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?

Did you use the same battery the whole time?

All tests was in sports mode ?

Was that as high as it can go or did you just stop it from going up higher

How far can you fly with that weight

How long could it carry the 2lbs?

Why does he do this? So we don't have to. Thanks buddy. Tell Ed hi from me. Ken.

Thanks for posting! I myself don't have the balls to try that but always wanted to know. lol

Cool !

This dude kinda looks like the "rapper" Krispy Kreme lol. This video had me laughing the whole way through. When the props hit the string and you jumped out of the way, that was hilarious.

2lbs 3 oz. I saw another video test this and that's how much his could lift

Did you have it in Sport mode? I know it sport mode you can climb in altitude a few m/s faster.

I feel like if you used a non stretchy rope it would be easier on the mavic

Thanks very helpful, Now I know how many beers that I can deliver at once to my friend Across the lake

if you go to sport mode it will deliver a little more horse power ya

Is the mavic there on sport mode?

Phantom be like. You lift bro?

if you put in sport mode it will work

dude?? you're in Tejas? where about? i am in North Houston (Conroe). we should do some collaborations.

Did u ever consider there are batteries and they die then you recharge them

Why use elastic instead of a firm line? The elastic creates more resistance and pulls the drone towards the milk jug.

Hi friend! Great test! now I know how many can of beer should i ask for my mavic brings to me!

I would've liked to see the drone go a bit higher while it was carrying that weight, but good video over all.

i have the same reaction after i eat a lot of cake i just don't want to get up.

Ukraine thanks you. Lol. Very helpful. I’m actually working on my senior design project for my engineering degree. I need to test a light weight balloon payload but we are afraid it’s not getting the needed signal being on the ground. I told them I may be able to get it up a few hundred feet. Lol

I need to know if a payload can be put ON TOP of the Mavic. I need to mount a special camera on it and want to know if it is possible. Total weight around 250 ounces

just when i thought he could not get any crazier ! OMG i was waiting for something bad to happen, glad it did not. LOL

why do people get so damn butthurt over what someone else does with their stuff?

need lil drone fuselage- backpacks, or belly packs and solid affordable release mechanisms for deploying life saving payloads like first aid kits - water bottles, micro flotation device - life guards need to be able to use drones. I would think the pay for a life guard would go up with the induction of these wonderful tools into the world of first response.

What part of Texas I'm in DeSoto DFW area

Can you do a new video but the same thing Carying the water in side the milk jug but this time you have to fly the drone wile carying the milk jug with water inside

nice video :)

Firefighting drone?

poor mavic pro

It does not feel like you are pushing it

Mavic engines were screaming...... good video. Better your Mavic than mine

My drone can't even lift a gallon of milk

Never forget that flying a drone is a lot like flying a lawn mower ;-)

Sounds like a gazillion bees

Enough to drop a water balloon on your neighbors. Here come the drone prank vids...

Try in sport mode

If it was me. I'd use Eds drones for the test :)

It lifted a lot more than I thought it would...

Youll burn out your motors dude

Hey is the phantom 4 pro is good or mavic 2 for wieght lifting

excelente teste like

Try it as near to sea level as possible

That's awesome. I knew The Mavic could life more, we just had a crappy scale.

All it see if it can lift the shed back to level...

Where in Texas are you from, mate?

Would love to see it try and recover from a decent with even 1 lb on it. Gotta fly low and slow

Am I the only one waiting for a propeller to snap under load and go through an artery? Nice video :)

Sport mode

You crack me up

Sounds like whirling death

So I can bring my buddy a beer with my drone no problem?

You're going to fry your ESC's doing that. Unfortunately, from the Phantom 3 to all latest DJI drones, the ESC are no longer modular, if you manage to fry one, you are going to replace the whole board.

For the last 4 mins I've been waiting for your drone to explode 😂 . Also, do you not value your feet ?

Need to know how much can be flown over the border 😂

OK, so test how long and high it can lift say, 1000 grams...

why is the shed in the background leaning and tipped to one side ? ... it kept distracting me

Mine lifts nearly 4.6lbs.

So I just watched a 360 video of an F-16 inflight refueling. I immediately thought: "Why not put this on a drone." I hope that's what you are up to... would be very cool.

Could have taken off and added water while in the air until it started to lose altitude :-)

I tried this i will upload n my channel it was bad it fell of on a roof 😔
