Mavic 2 Pro vs 7" FPV - Weight Lifting Competition

[@Quadcopterguide]

Which Drone did you think would win? How much weight did you guess the Mavic 2 Pro could lift?

[@DroneDaysgr]

Great one 👍 a pleasure to watch my friend, Hope you have a wonderful Week!!!

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey DD, thanks for tuning in again! You have a great week as well!

[@skyrotfpv]

Great test! 😀 The strength of the FPV quad is impressive. Which prop size and pitch has this been tested with?

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Skyrot, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is much appreciated! I was very surprised while filming this one. The fpv quad had 7x3x4 props. I know it could have done more, but I didn't want to risk damaging anything or ourselves. Glad everyone survived :D lol

[@skyrotfpv]

@@Quadcopterguide Thanks, it makes sense to not push it too much. Very interesting video indeed! ✌️

[@Quadcopterguide]

Appreciate it!

[@Wreckedchevy]

Nice work always entertaining

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Craig, thanks for tuning in again man. Appreciate it. Have a good week!

Hallo cooles Video :)

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Danke! thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is much appreciated!

[@goldencrease]

Great video once again! Any news about mavic mini 2?

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Ibrahim, thanks for tuning in. Rumors for mavic mini 2 are starting to heat up. Stay tuned for more.

[@hunterws]

If it does not fold, then they took my idea on weight saving. I suggested a frame similar to the skydio

[@AllenTweed]

Nice... Or you could have attached a lever to the table and directly measured the lifting force on the scale... But, your way was fun too :)

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Allen awesome you took the time to watch and comment! Much appreciated! No doubt there could have been a way more scientific way to do all this. This way was a ton of fun ;).

[@alexanderthurner9469]

😮💪🏻Alter Schwede ;-) Weiter so.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Haha! Alexander, thanks for taking the time to comment and watch, it is much appreciated! Alter Schwede :).

[@filiped7298]

Nice test. But next time try a punch out 😂 Also: how hot were those motors in the end? Really hot I would assume.

[@Quadcopterguide]

haha hey Felipe, thanks for tuning in dude. I knew I was stressing the components enough. No punch out needed lol. I did not feel the motors, we were surprised how long everything took and had to get the shots completed :).

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

That's impressive! And difficult to fly a non-GPS quad with all that weight.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Sunrise, thanks for tuning in again! Appreciate it. It was wild to see how such a large pendulum works out... nuts.

[@chrisalexthomas]

Adding a gps device to a quad is about 20g of weight for the device and wires. It's literally nothing

[@ardscorner]

Now this is full on Nerd.......and I like it....a lot

[@Quadcopterguide]

Haha, hey ARD :). Thanks for tuning in friend. Definitely an unexpected result with a few of those tests. Did you get your Mavic in the Air?

[@izoyt]

unlocked m2p could do a bit more (unlocked it can fly around 90kmh or so) , fpv motors are much stronger/faster, any way (that's why battery last one third of mavic, i would say). but still, it was very interesting, didn't expect fpv would lift that much. but it could be bad news for new eu regulations with that impact force limitation and all that. you're actually showing, how much impact fpv could do at full throttle.

[@Quadcopterguide]

hey izoyt, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is much appreciated! Where can you unlock your M2? This FPV quad is pretty much on the high end of the power spectrum. I doubt the average person will build something like this.. who knows..

[@izoyt]

@@Quadcopterguide as for m2 unlocking goes, i don't know, i juts seen some video (and i don't think i seen any other on that topic), guy showing his unlocked m2p drone, which could achieve higher speeds etc. i think it is done by firmware hacking, but this should be checked. I will try to find this video, but it was from same period, when m2 series just came out, i think..

[@backwoodzbum]

Very impressive with each. Makes me want to mod my mavic to accept a 6s battery...lol

[@Quadcopterguide]

haha hey fish munkey, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is much appreciated! I know right, let's see if there is a crazy project for the winter in there somewhere :D. Whatcha flying now?

[@kingdevine7374]

How long could it carry the 2lbs?

[@Quadcopterguide]

thx for watching!

[@chrisalexthomas]

jumping the weight up and down is one thing, but lifting it and holding altitude and for how long it can be held without going on fire is another thing

[@Quadcopterguide]

agreed. I couldnt believe it could even lift some of that weight.. i can only imagine the stress on the relatively thin carbon frame parts.

[@chrisalexthomas]

@@Quadcopterguide DO IT FOR SCIENCE BRO!!! :D

[@Quadcopterguide]

Haha. Then do the test at sea level and at 10,000ft.

[@chrisalexthomas]

@@Quadcopterguide add a servo on a switch so you can drop the weight if needed, of course just for scientific purposes

[@JOEBlalock23]

I figured the FPV would win, but that’s a lot.

[@Quadcopterguide]

Hey Joe, thanks for tuning in. I was shocked at how much the fpv quad could lift. Of course on paper I knew that the fpv quad had a crazy power to weight ratio. Didn’t think it would be this nuts out in the field though.

[@hunterws]

Very neat test. Sorta turned out the way I suspected, being fpv has more rpm /speed. (Nice man purse ⊙⊙) haa

[@Quadcopterguide]

Lol hey hunterws, thanks for tuning in it was kind of surprising to see the Mavic 2 pro lift as much as it did as well as the FPV drone that was just absolutely 🥜 nuts! Lol @ man purse.

Hey Krieger! thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is much appreciated! Gruß zurück :D. What are you flying these days?

Quadcopterguide I’m flying a mavic 2 pro

[@makaronilaatikko1780]

Ketchup

[@Quadcopterguide]

Wait what? 😂

[@makaronilaatikko1780]

@@Quadcopterguide Great video by the way. I'm nowadays more into the rc-car hobby, but I still like to fly my spark. P.S ketchup is a condiment that you can put on a hamburger, for example.

[@Quadcopterguide]

lol. Gotta have mayo too then! Enjoy the little sparky.
