How much can the Mavic Pro Lift 

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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 😌

Thanks Chris, knowledge is power!!

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

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

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

Thanks for this test!!

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

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

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

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)

Was payload mode engaged? Great test btw🎉🎉

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.

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

Thank you for doing these for us)

Thanks for this video!

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

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.

cool! loved it!

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

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

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

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?

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

Phantom be like. You lift bro?

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

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?

The error message Overcurrent Discharge was interesting.

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

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

What are your mavic pro controller sensitivity settings?

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

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

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

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

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

Sounds like a gazillion bees

You should have used a newton meter for an exact result

Cool !

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.

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

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.

Did you use the same battery the whole time?

nice video :)

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

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

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

How long could it carry the 2lbs?

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

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

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

Youll burn out your motors dude

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

if you put in sport mode it will work

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

All tests was in sports mode ?

How far can you fly with that weight

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

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

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

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

Is the mavic there on sport mode?

What part of Texas I'm in DeSoto DFW area

poor mavic pro

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

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

My drone can't even lift a gallon of milk

Firefighting drone?

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

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

excelente teste like

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..

Sounds like whirling death

Sport mode

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

Ok so I can strap a Vr Headset on a Drone and play like that...nice to know

To można obliczyć 0.75kg x 5m/s + 9.81m/s Czyli około. 1.5g x0.75= 1.1kg udźwigu

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

It does not feel like you are pushing it

You crack me up

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

Burning engines.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Where in Texas are you from, mate?

Try in sport mode

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

Change your motors to F80 or F60 and you will be flying without a problem one motor can lift your quad and the milk bottle.

You can’t lift the corner of your shed and level it with mavic pro
