I wonder if anyone explored the possibility of extending flight times/distances not by loading Mavic with additional batteries, but adding independent motors with props and separate battery? The goal is to effectively make Mavic lighter. Obviously, to achive this, the lift created by the additional props must be greater than the weight of these additional parts, plus some. Two props spinning in the opposite directions. Mounted on a long enough carbon fiber tubing running from left to right of the aircraft. Do you think this approach can extend Mavic's performance or traditonal battery mods are more efficient?
These additional motors don't need any control, just flip the switch to turn them on, and they just provide static lift until their battery dies. The advantages of this approach: you retain the battery % readout in the app so you always know when it's time to land; the voltage doesn't need to match Mavic's, whatever is needed by the extra motors, which gives more freedom in choosing batteries; unlimited possibilities in choosing motors, RPMs, props, etc.
