How much weight can a DJI mini3 carry?

[kentdavidge]

I'm considering using a power bank with the Mini3 . The power bank itself has a weight of about 100 g. Would that additional weight be too much for the Mini 3 to handle? Would it drain battery much faster?

My guesses would be 'Yes' and 'Yes', and I would spend the money on additional battery packs for the drone instead.

Why a powerbank?
You cant charge the drone while it is flying

The Air 2 series is the smallest that can carry even light loads. No minis, they can barely carry their own prop guards. I do use my A2 for fishing with small loads to 8oz. My Phantoms can carry 2lb and are my go-to fishing drones.

Why would you need more then 40 min of flight time that you can get with the plus batteries?

I can hardly get 30-35 minutes of flight time.

From what I've read, a mini 3 can carry double it's weight at sea level. And, yeah, it would definitely drain the battery in a hurry. The props would need to spin @40% faster to carry an extra 100g

Use case? Except when I am doing something tantamount to being "illegal:, like testing how far away I can see my strobing nav lights at night to verify I do have 3 mile visibility (open desert no more than 100' agl, but clearly beyond intended vlos rules), even those flights were rarely fly longer than 20 minutes.
