Engineers use drone to help connect remote home to broadband

Looks like a MP, in fact, it is aMP but unsure/doubt if they needed the 2 variant just to get a cable across a stretch of water?

Thanks for sharing this article! I think nobody wanted to get wet... hm. Maybe they're just "spielkinder" (play kids), like me and most other men

Off topic: Is there a known payload / load limit to the m2? Does anybody know or is there an official specification from DJI? I mean... such a cable can be relatively heavy, even if they just transported a pulling wire to the other side of that river.

All I can make out from the picture is they have a wire dangling from the craft but it's not at all clear.





That wire looks like it would weight a few tens of grams.
Wish the article described in more detail what they did or maybe s'one can elaborate?
Edit; with video
and this
bit more insight

The Enterprise Mavic2 has all those snap on gizmos, but don't know what the difference is in terms of handling payloads?

I really like this kind of insight in professional usage of our hobby! Thanks again!
