DJI Phantom 3 and 4 maximum lifting weight

[@davidrivas_]

Who else came for the dog lifting? ⬇️

[@adambridge8920]

Where is Nick's spirit of adventure ? They've sent Monkeys into orbit so the least a small dog could do is sacrifice himself for his Master's KZbin channel.

[@kronk358]

Yeah. Its clickbait. Thats why the dislike ratio is so incredibly high.

[@prapanchulapinyo757]

Me

[@jadoon702]

Hahahahahahahah I fell for it

[@rehanjalil7438]

me

[@colinwoods8962]

At the end why is it so satisfying to watch the dog try to get the drone

[@traversniemi5342]

I totally agree what a joyful site for some weird reason. Gotta love dogs

[@jacobkuca7711]

The problem with the P4 was the sensors. Turn them off by going into sport mode and you'll be able to lift more. I have one.

[@darkpill]

I'll wait until things improve before having a Baby ...

[@darkpill]

That's a good point, how much weight do you figure that'll save?

[@hipeoplesSr]

+darkpill from my experience only 4 lbs were cut off a 10 lb baby although just the head is 2 lbs so it would be a good hat for it

[@MyLife-pc6yb]

Plz Mobile No nend Korun

[@alexm.2028]

But the question is, can the Phantom 4 lift the Phantom 3?

[@JoeyRos]

[@rodrigojds]

yes

I don’t need sleep I need answers

[@chiupolini]

Is it possible that the Vision Positioning System in Phantom 4 may have an effect in the lift test? I see that the weight was hung right below the sensor system.

[@DroneMinds]

thats exactly what I'm thinking

[@GeorgeBonez]

But but the P3 Adanced, 34k, & Pro has the same Vision Positioning System as the P4.. So that cant be it! Right?

[@Cardesie]

You have two small positioning cameras in addition below the P4. Yes, it's effected for sure.

[@bushmanphotos]

we lift heavy payloads with Phantom 4 all the time. Just turn off the VPS.

[@antoinepageau8336]

My wife is volunteering our 13 yr old son for testing purposes. Funny how things change.

[@masso172]

Make sure she doesn't volunteer you!

[@antoinepageau8336]

She would in a heart beat.

[@masso172]

Antoine Pageau hahahaha that made my day... Cheers!

You should get a divorce. Risking a child's life in a flying machine. oh look, the number for Montreal Child Protective Services is 514-935-6196.

[@frankmayer7960]

j'espere que tu comprends que c'est une joke !

[@vishaljaiswal9196]

i just came here for the drone lifting up the dog -_-

[@lucasmiller2698]

Vishal Jaiswal same mostly

[@Matthew-tv8fn]

Vishal Jaiswal same..thumbnail click bait. Thumbs down.

[@bigboat8329]

Vishal Jaiswal You're a fucking idiot for thinking that could happen.

[@Matthew-tv8fn]

Mr. potato look at the thumbnail

[@elsipjetri1420]

Vishal Jaiswal !r

[@rafe1482]

Well, it probably struggled because of the vision positioning system detecting the uneven surface (the bottle) and tried to hover

[@christopherfarrell9539]

I really appreciate you taking the time to research this for us! I didn't really plan on lifting anything with it but its good to know that its possible at these weights, haha! Have a great day!

[@insanegnyc]

I want to buy a DJI phantom just for fishing...... do you think the phantom will make a good tool? Is it worth it? My number one fear is that I'm flying the drone towards the ocean to drop bait ( you can install a payload drop ). And all of a sudden my drone just drops into the ocean never to be found again. You obviously know a lot. What are your thoughts? Should I go down the rabbit hole of drones or just not bother. You think the phantom would fair well in windy conditions? What's the range of a phantom?

[@davidkearnes9623]

I think the Phantom four had issues because the downward positioning cameras were blocked.

[@bushmanphotos]

that is the issue. We use Phantom 4s for carrying fishing payloads almost every day with no problems at all.

[@taja1245]

The phantom 4 has sonar so if you put something underneath it it will think it's close to the ground and fly up

[@benwolters]

The bottle can be "seen" by the Phantom 4's sonar, and maybe part of it's erratic flight characteristics.

[@bushmanphotos]

yes that is the issue. It flies just fine with heavy weights if you turn the VPS off.

[@bradbowers3973]

Try secureing the load to the copter you don't have it trying to correct it's self. over correcting and crashing because of a swinging load . eventually it will flip over correcting for the swinging load.

[@unmasked-tv6764]

So I can deliver up to 2 pounds of weed to my customers?.. Thanx for the info 👍

[@theinfoone]

only if they live within 3 miles

[@patrickman9681]

Phantom 4 has 28 mins of fly time, a little less with 2 lbs of weed but plenty of time to drop your load off in the yard of the local correctional center. Of course you'll want the anti-missile flares in case they try to shoot you down.

[@theinfoone]

+Patrick Man I think it's closer to 22 minutes most times (taking air gusts into considetation) but what I meant was fpv range.

[@theinfoone]

+Patrick Man and nobody is going to shoot missiles at you 😂

[@itshappening100]

unfortunately the real distance is like 1 mile if good signal

[@jcgreenenergybusiness8315]

where you concerned at all, about breaking the landing legs because of the heavy weights and the way that you attach them.

[@mikedenham4889]

You got similar results to a couple other people testing these with payloads. Great video. Any idea what kind of improvement carbon fiber props give you with a Phantom 3 Pro?

[@simonb2006]

hi Nick What camera do you film your vlogs. Very crisp image

[@kpboix99]

Interesting. I wonder what kind of drones Domino's and Amazon is going to use in order to deliver their packages one day. Up to two pound packages or maybe a beefed up motor on a custom drone.

[@FredVfin]

Why not just put 5 pounds of water in the container, keep it on the scale and lift off, then see how much less than 5 pounds the scale is showing?

[@Alex-fh5od]

Fredrik Vaahtokari I get what you’re saying, but you’d need a different type of scale for that. E.g. luggage scale.

[@jordanteichman]

Great video! Im sure your aware of how well those plastic blades can cut through your body if it accidentally some how came at you! Anyways, cheers mate! Keep up the good work.

[@panagiotispapadakis4071]

Hi Nick, When the drone was flying did you notice any vibrations?

[@cardiffguy2007]

Love seeing Tui chasing your drones around your back garden; he's a star Nick. :-)

[@Harley04]

another way to test would be to have them attached to one of those hook style weight scales, do they make them in digital now? That would give an absolute pulling power anyway!

[@georgiabigfoot]

Was the 4 in the more powerful "sport" mode when you tried this test ?

[@chandlersfirearmstraining4399]

If you don't mind me asking, what camera did you use for this video? Do you have any custom settings on it? The quality of your video is outstanding and is something I'm looking to achieve.

[@christiankellner787]

What kind of camera are you using for this vlog? the image looks incredible clear.

[@jeffkrutsinger2903]

I really admired the clarity of your footage that you shot. Do you mind if I ask you what your camera set up is for shooting your vlog?

[@NickMurray]

I mostly use a Canon 80D with 10-18mm or a Panasonic GH4

[@chrislee176]

Very nice. What was that musical piece in your soundtrack?

[@johanseminario2254]

What camera do you use? I love the video and picture quality you've shown in this video!

[@brooksieluke]

There should have been only one line to the weight from the centre of the propellers.

[@rogerliu88]

amazing that Nick was able to get over two pounds of green unicorn blood! thanks!

[@wrinkledlemon]

Nick, can you tell me where you got that yellow led light plant on the table behind you please?

[@icejunki]

Just the chuckle I needed tonight, thanks for entertaining the idea of weight capacities. Have a Happy New Year!!!

[@calidronesuav8764]

This is a neat video but I'm wondering what this is doing to the motors...

[@willyboy356]

Air temperature and density will have a big effect on what it can lift. Try it on a cold day with low humidity

[@maxhi88]

Excellent consumer advice, thank you!

[@swollenpineapple1620]

"Unicorn blood" right....

[@MetaphoricMinds]

ikr? It's obviously Vulcan blood.

[@santoshpawar2082]

Dron 👌👌👏👏👍👍🐄🐄

[@CloroxBleach-bm6fz]

one question, the device you use for your Phantom drone. doesn't have to have mobile data on it for it work ?

[@humza22]

Cary Dickey no

[@yourmajesty7012]

that question sounds like a complicated math problem that I'm sure someone could solve to complete accuracy

[@craiglatzke2143]

What camera did you use to make this video? Indoor quality is great.

[@ComputerLearning0]

I'll never be able to buy one of these things so I have to just enjoy watching videos of other people operating them.

[@streamalexander6804]

You can get the phantom 3 pro for under 500! Catch the right person you may find it under 300

[@MrJohnboyofsj]

I picked a Phantom 3 up for about $500 CAD, but just saying they are not worth it unless you're really into making films. Otherwise, get a good set of FPV equipment they run off analog visual signal which makes it much easier to see what the drone sees and make adjustments to the controls in time but with the DJI Phantom your flights really need to be planned out because reaction time is so slow.

[@ThisorThat-q9z]

My dog loves chasing drones

[@giteart]

Please for your safety don't hover your phantom under full power with a moving load hanging beneath right next to your face. Electronics fail sometimes and according to Murphy they will fail sometime while you are so close to those spinning props

[@CelsinhoMaedaBarros]

Hello! What camera did you shoot this video with?

[@Greyspacealien]

I have been in the model RC hobby for just about 10 years and my guess is that you have never experienced a prop strike before. Holding that phantom so close to your face is a good way to cause some real damage. If you value your eyesight I would exercise more caution especially when the phantom flight controller is trying to fight the added weight and the influence of you grabbing a hold of it.

[@blueisnotgreen7258]

If you want to lift a baby you have to use three phantom 3 drones. And it’s actually very safe. After I rigged it up I swung a baby around all day and I didn’t get a scratch on me

[@fixi806]

Please I need a Phantom even if it was the first version of 💔

[@IUSECAMERAS]

i've been looking for UNICORN BLOOD for 3 years! where da hell did you find some???

[@NickMurray]

Ebay

[@streamalexander6804]

You do know babys are 5 times 2lbs?

[@ottoolsen9676]

i have lifted 1.3 kg with my phantom 4, but this is max, and the drone can't steer, all engines are at full throttle, 1 kg it can handle fine, but im not sure if this load will damage the engines. but the drone flys ok and it steers. no it was not a living thing i lifted. highest flight is 1800m at night,and yes we have sulight and sun here at night in the summer, but no planes are flying at this time.usaly no planes are flying over here anyway,but just to be sure. and this is about max hight without more modifications, signal was low, and i used 10 min just to land. and this i way more then i need, so this is about max of what this drone stock without hight limit, can handle. and for me no moore modifications is needed.

[@Hankersonphotography]

Which camera do you use for recording. I love the quality.

[@bigeexclusive3239]

Can you do a review on the new VALKYRIE DRONE !!!!!!!

[@aidanhabes5542]

Nick, I just started watching your videos! They are very unique! I was very happy to see that someone in Connecticut has a good and popular channel! I am sure to stay and watch this channel grow, and see many exciting things to come! Don't let the hate comments bring your down (and your drones). My jokes are bad. Sorry.

[@aidanhabes5542]

Also, I could make you a personalized channel banner for free if you would like, using photoshop!

[@MUSTAFA-dq4gs]

Please Does this mean that the Phantom 3 can carry more weight than the Phantom 4 ?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Would be much lolz to see what a Phantom2 would have done. I'd expect more then the P3, especially if running decent props.

[@MetaphoricMinds]

Nick Murray, do you think that the issues from the Phantom 4 may have came from the proximity sensors?

[@NickMurray]

Yes

[@FARADISProduction]

Siiip MarkuSip. Top MarkoTop. Josss GonDos BleDosss... Nick Murray Oke... Salam VideoGraphy Tretaaan... MarHeBol ... BarokaAlloohu fiiKum... WiRo Studio - ABBA Studio

[@JDowner]

"Phantom 4 is faster" he says. That means the drone is lighter so it is obviously not going to be able to handle the weight

[@viperpm]

Are you getting the Mavic Pro and if so are you going to perform this test?

[@streamalexander6804]

You do know baby's are 3 times 3lbs?

[@viperpm]

Stream Alexander Can be. They come out differently.

[@angelododaro2431]

Did you try this in sport mode with P4? I wonder if that would make for a significant difference.

[@bushmanphotos]

all he had to do was turn off the VPS sensors.

[@kongnewton7643]

did you deactivate the safe mode on the 4? if not thats why it wouldnt fly

[@evd7079]

Where did you get the unicorn blood? I can't find it at Walmart...

[@NickMurray]

I hit a Unicorn with my car earlier

[@hanafifazrin891]

Im a unicorn when i handstand

[@jkbish1]

Seems like a (less than interesting) spreadsheet of various drones with a set of 10 pigs , sporting various weights. The pig in the top weight class would be a truly awesome drone.

[@dannydaw59]

One could lift and transport contraband substances across/over certain barriers. I mean it's not like I'll be doing this personally, but I'm just sayin.

[@TripMcSleazestack]

Bad guys have been using UAVs to fly contraband into prisons for years.

[@RcAndries]

Have you turned off the visuals on the bottom??

[@CV_CA]

Thank you for your research

[@averageswede8368]

Awesome testing! But do you reckon the strain from carrying things would damage the drone in the long run?

[@jamesdonnelly7194]

Almost definetly, batteries would degrade and the motors could be damaged from spinning too fast/ overheating etc

[@bushmanphotos]

@@jamesdonnelly7194 not true at all. We use phantoms to lift max weights fishing every single day the weather lets us and have done hundreds of flights out over the ocean with the drones struggling to carry max weight in high winds and absolutely no issues at all. The batteries do run down faster in flight with the extra payload but that's completely expected.

[@Twinnny_Twinnn]

Love your videos the quality is good. May I ask what cameras are you using?

[@FyL43]

why do you have a dog attach on the drone in your image video ?

[@richardturner6981]

I like the end where the little dog is trying to catch the drone

[@epicvideotours]

What camera did you use to make this video?

[@IgorFrost]

Can you compare Mavic and Phantom 4 lifting weight? I'm really need it

[@kadircetin7245]

Hi! i need to travel my 2 cows but have no car...can you try if you can lift up a cow 500kg and travel it for 10km ? Thanks!

[@JacK-yr8ri]

Hey Nick, great video as usual. Seen you wear a couple watches in your videos and wondered if that was something you were interested in? If so a video of any you have would be great. ( good horology tends to go alongside good taste in cars occasionally )

[@Kraflanglanopstuv]

What about a DJI inspire?

[@AMARAJRAJ]

Illa

[@AMARAJRAJ]

Quality wßsààsk

[@AngelCintiaRockgirl]

I think you were 99 and 1/2 percent of the lifting of that bottle. And it almost lifted that dog but kept bouncing it on the ground.

[@scottyoung6645]

This reminds me of the movie The Martian where he had to drop weight to increase thrust. Unfortunately, he lost 2 pounds by leaving his head attached.

[@stuhauti7655]

That dog in the pic was like.. "really dude?"

[@DanangEce]

Dog fly??

[@ChillTube]

Excellent video! I've liked and subscribed because of it!!

[@speecheffect9100]

Never fly a drone next to your face .

[@6Crasher6]

Speech Effect For real. And this dummy is telling people in the comments that they can hand launch a phantom. How do people not understand how insane it is having 4, sharp, powerful blades near any part of your body? We are seeing "Idiocracy" play out right before our eyes ...

[@A.C31]

That unicorn blood must be heavier than two pounds of normal blood.

[@hickton45]

Any car reviews in the pipeline?

[@benjaminclark995]

U probably shouldn't have used water because it's too unstable so the drone couldn't stabilize

[@MILLERFILMPRODUCTIONS]

touching the drone nearly the probs at full speed... NOT A GOOD IDEA!.. but like my mother said.. you must fall on your face to feel the pain..

[@Alaerick1]

You don’t have to waste time putting stuff on the drone Here’s what I will do: 1.Put the propellers on the drone in the wrong order so they will propel the drone DOWN when you fly it. 2.Put it on a scale 3.Turn on the scale 4.”Fly” the drone.

[@jamesb72]

Fantastic insight as always Nick, would love to see dji matrice 600 compared next :-)

[@Faaapproveddroneoperators]

Great video Nick. I'm not going to even ask about the "Unicorn blood" I was already blown away with the person who wanted to lift his baby with a drone. If he does insist have him contact someone with a UAV drone instead of UAS one...lol

[@_r1nky]

So I need around 80-100 Phantom 3 proffesionals to get airborne ?

[@mannyechaluce3814]

The dog don't seem to need help going airborne :D

[@nekozilla2692]

It's used for photography, not lifting weights.

[@ChipZilla69]

you have lost some weight nick, looking well. Love the vids man.

[@RealTodFox]

Man, I thought you were going to atatch the dog.

[@menger88p]

Make a channel update Nick, what have you been doing, future planes?

[@interactgaming4615]

I wish I had a phantom 4 or 3

[@cihan.kurucu]

soo, why did you record this video if you are affraid of to break the drone??? can it lift or not?

[@NickMurray]

I don't understand what you are asking?

[@maddyaurora]

so that drone can lift a DSLR? amazing

[@mrThree5two]

Your yard is looking green and healthy...no doubt a benefactor of that unicorn blood...be a while then before Amazon delivers my next big screen tv via a drone...

[@k.alexrivera2430]

I want to hang a banner, is there a baner kit for dji drone?

[@skeyesightvideo5878]

Well its apparent you would be a better parent then the person that posed the question. 😉 Great video and thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day.
