Is 446 grams(between two external batteries) too much weight for a long range flight with the Mavic Pro?
So 3 batteries?, ...or three? (factory plus 2 of the Proteks)It’s the weight of two Protek 4100 lihvs. Was using MAS props, switched to Platinum props. I get 35 minutes out of two multi star 3.0s.
I can’t quite figure out how to read data from the csv file yet.
Should fly, but bet that the addition of almost a pound (15.7322 ounces) will shorten flight times and flight characteristics as well as ability to cope with wind.
Yes, stock Mavic battery and two Protek 4100’sSo 3 batteries?, ...or three? (factory plus 2 of the Proteks)
I think it likely affects flight characteristics as I said above... but still goes farther. Personally I get tired of standing with the controller after 25-30min.The guy at the top of the Leaderboard uses stock battery plus two Multistar 5.2’s. That’s 636 extra grams. But it gets him 60 minutes. 59K and back. But WOW.... that seems to friggin heavy.
Same here!!! I’m ready to have a heart attack after 20K feet out!!I think it likely affects flight characteristics as I said above... but still goes farther. Personally I get tried of standing with the controller after 25-30min.
Best of luck!
Fantastic!!!! What more do I want?! 50k feet lol... however I am really at stroke level blood pressure at 25k feet out lol...I get 25,000 feet and back with one 3000 mah velcro'd on top using the battery mod. It's really enough for whatever I need to shoot. I mean 5 miles...what more do you want?
Two 3.0’s yield 40k plus feet. One 4.0 should yield the same. Top mounted batteries eventually caused me problems FYI. It’s far more efficient to bottom mount one battery, and side mount two. Top mounted is almost impossible to get a solid, and unwavering center of gravity. The bird will make up for it, but it’s a loss in efficiency(added stress on one or more motors to gain level stability). Bottom mount and you’ll be happy you did. However I suggest leaving clearance for the passive cooling on the bottom heat plate.I'm about to stick with one 4000 mah on top and keep it at that. I have the 3D printed clip to put on dual 3000's but I think the weight to power ratio would be better on just one 4k
