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

[@Smoovebert]

EXACTLY

[@adroneslife8453]

Adam West it's a good test I think, what if you were retrieving a downed drone off a roof.

[@joshsun85]

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!

[@WyvernApalis]

Joshua Rodriguez the wind from the props will push on the scale though

[@joshsun85]

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?

[@andgastvideo]

Joshua Rodriguez it lifts exactly 1kg no more than that

[@brianandtarryn]

Another option would be to use a fish scale.

[@loveflying2]

Joshua Rodriguez good thinking

[@thelongranger55]

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

[@ChadLittlefield]

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.

[@NJ_GB]

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

[@Vasquez19781]

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 😌

[@robsimpson2694]

Life's short

[@miked5728]

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

[@youngwoody]

😭😭😭

[@andrewfulin4351]

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

[@ArruVision]

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

[@bobbrown8661]

Phantom be like. You lift bro?

[@rl2769]

TheRealMonster triggered much? Lock yourself in the closet, and were a helmet. The internet may not be a safe place for you.

[@XRFOREVER]

Bob Brown made me laugh !

[@K8URChannel]

Good test. My Mavic can only safely lift about 500kg to 100ft or so.

[@timwynn6079]

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

[@mikeneary9783]

Tim Wynn mavic can do that no problem

[@AJ-ku7nm]

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

[@ImaginetMedia]

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

[@donjohnson2639]

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?

[@smarzyciel]

Would he have 221K views for that?

[@kenalverson9755]

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

[@MikeSantis]

To get more likes and more subscribers. Simple as that :-) He also seems to have the money to buy another Mavic if he destroys that one. Like when he was trying to land it on a moving truck or when he was doing the shutting off test. Mostly entertainment :-)

[@kenalverson9755]

Mike Santis : good call Mike. It is entertaining and informative at the same time. You're not pushing your Mavic this hard?

[@MikeSantis]

Why should I??? What's the point??? I use my Mavic as a part of my photo business Not as a toy. And I will have a hard time to replace it if something happens to it. But Chris don't seem to have this problem. So one more reason he is probably doing this kind of stuff.

[@kenalverson9755]

Mike Santis : Mine is for my hobby but it's still expensive and I don't want to have to replace it just to try something crazy. Take care Mike!

[@MikeSantis]

Exactly my point.

[@HEVTech1]

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

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

aar00n08 I think that was my video you saw! Thanks!

[@glennsmooth]

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

[@skylane807]

One pintone pound

[@CalebEckenrode]

OH stay tuned to my channel already warned my neighbors their might be some water bombs coming soon hahaha

[@N_Wheeler]

The error message Overcurrent Discharge was interesting.

[@johnnelson6021]

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

[@ClifD]

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

[@ibrahshowtz]

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

[@jamdungdrones2424]

Was payload mode engaged? Great test btw🎉🎉

[@neogator26]

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

[@micahvislisel5674]

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

[@warren52nz]

I doubt Sport mode would make a difference. The setting would be for vertical *_speed_* not lift. Could try it though...

[@Luc-1991]

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.

[@cpac97]

@@Luc-1991 doesn't have gears. its magnetic spun motors. im guessing its a different programing on when the electrical current is sent

[@robsimpson2694]

Yes I'm sure it would make a difference

[@drfix2020]

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

[@domfarrell9073]

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.

[@droneosaurusx9332]

Thanks Chris, knowledge is power!!

[@korling99]

poor mavic pro

[@VladekR]

there should be some kind RSPCA for abused drones

[@emersonorlandoordonez1288]

Vladek Ro jajajaja

[@RoshanCrastaphotographer]

RSPCD! :D

[@rosegardner3]

Why drones

[@danielrodge4349]

I would rather get this drone sites.google.com/site/MavicAlternative

[@Smexy]

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

[@stasiszx10r57]

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

[@watermeloncaviar5959]

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

[@loveflying2]

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

[@zevdekoff9420]

Did you use the same battery the whole time?

[@mcelhannan]

Youll burn out your motors dude

[@muzikmon2267]

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

[@fual]

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

[@ralftech897]

What are your mavic pro controller sensitivity settings?

[@KenHeron]

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

[@abcd123906]

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

[@armandocastro1129]

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

[@jgroves55]

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

[@barracudahunter]

Thanks for this test!!

[@Verqos]

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

[@johnnelson6021]

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..

[@korotkoff73]

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

[@ANTHONYVLOG]

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

[@Pavone182]

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

[@warren52nz]

That's about 3 beers if they're in cans.

[@djay3562]

How far can you fly with that weight

[@petrucioci07]

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

[@MrUben564]

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

[@AdminTechnopedia]

at least you keep line of sight, it's probable and don't forget the tan and cos of earth rotation can cause inertia from several angle curvature of what the heck

[@ThePhk5]

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

[@drfix2020]

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

[@AirChopperPH]

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.

[@mallorcaxisco]

Burning engines.

[@drieq]

Engines?

[@Carlit0Tit0]

Motors* not engines.

[@-kane-6669]

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

[@RBTRYK]

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

[@cosmotect]

Thank you for doing these for us)

[@EpicProvider]

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

[@IMRROcom]

Sounds like whirling death

[@PresleyTV]

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.

[@MunchPremium]

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

[@Tactical_Assault_Pelican]

You should have used a newton meter for an exact result

[@colereid7815]

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

[@jenkins0009]

Where in Texas are you from, mate?

[@ChrisRollins]

Tyler! Where are you

[@YungsTired]

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

[@sufiyanahmad5377]

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

[@ChrisRollins]

the phantom 4 pro is able to lift more weight!

[@snowflex4029]

if you put in sport mode it will work

[@djisenord7455]

Cool !

[@andrewbassett8210]

Why, what's the point? Over revving the motors. I wouldn't let you near my drone.

[@ChrisRollins]

+Andrew Bassett oh no!

[@rnburley]

AHHHHHHH to see how much weight the drone can lift maybe?

[@Dayvieboy]

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

[@Carlit0Tit0]

But then he wouldn't know how much it weighs. Unless he had another jug nearby and weighed it to the same amount of water he puts in the other one.

[@davidrickert4925]

Fill the jug until it loses altitude, then land the drone and weigh the jug

[@izayahlewis1599]

It does not feel like you are pushing it

[@TheRaafeekhan]

Breh... 1.Fill the jug to the max volume 2.place jug on scale 3.tie and lift with max power on drone 4.calculate difference= lift.

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

Yo Chris...... Mavic tug-of-war? Game on?

[@ChrisRollins]

hahaha Brilliant! what state are you in? I'll come to you!

[@MichaelKincaiddontroughit]

Chattanooga TN! Where you at? Let's do this!

[@ChrisRollins]

Michael Kincaid tyler TX! Ill DM you tomorrow

[@AdminTechnopedia]

@@ChrisRollins Don't forget record it and share with us

[@andgastvideo]

Lift a 360 camera and get sick shots, top weight is 1 kg isnt it?

[@hwleitner2009]

Try it as near to sea level as possible

[@unclegrandpah8400]

I was totally surprised when it picked up 1lb! What's up with that leaning shed in the background, am i the only one to notice it?☠

[@omarelf9001]

Sport mode

[@nigelflanagan1050]

You crack me up

[@leolamy149]

Try in sport mode

[@ErikDrohne]

nice video :)

[@danno02]

Your Mavic is going to have a hernia!

[@dominguezgus]

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

[@Sparkey]

Thanks for doing this so we don't have to! :)

[@gilneimotalucardo5215]

excelente teste like

[@oscarstomberg5393]

Does he realize that it can lift less when the battery is drained?

[@yokonunz]

imagine it a propeller collapses..... directly into your eye.....

[@jjazz321]

do you even lift pro?

[@mfpv_detroit8182]

Race quad would pick that up with ease

[@ChrisRollins]

+M Williams no doubt!

[@Fanastyland]

Basically safely it can only lift one pound

[@Nothinglefttosay]

A Mexican friend is asking me if it will only carry 2.5pounds of water, or will it carry 2.5pounds of Coke too..?

[@rekunta]

Quickest possible way to bust your engines.

[@tappineapple3381]

2:40 ummm that stance...

[@enjoymy30000days]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@cristiancoser7880]

ouch, couldn't watch this 😂

[@rosegardner3]

Poor thing

[@warren52nz]

Two and a bit pounds sounds like it was designed for 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs).

[@glennglenn1765]

Warren NZ It does not appear to be designed for any lifting of weight. There's no carriage below for attaching items. The only thing it's designed to do is fly. If it were designed for lifting, there'd be variable pitch props and larger motors and a place to attach cabling that doesn't affect CG of aircraft.

[@warren52nz]

Of course, I agree. it just seems a coincidence that the test led to 1 Kg on the nose. One thing occurred to me; if you put your hand up close underneath it while it's hovering it will rise. Either the cameras or the ultrasonic detector must sense it and lift up to avoid it. This makes me wonder that if you suspended something under it too close to the aircraft would it start rising and never stop?

[@usbatulasrori6578]

Gooods

[@jont2576]

would be better if u dont use a rope thats elastic........

[@blazemichaelson2450]

Good God that poor drone

[@officialm0016]

I was thinking That mavic pro easily lift up 1kg
