Looks good though the position is surprisingly forward. With the drone tilt when moving forward, it must be really be changing the center of gravity

I have a gps tracker on the back that balances it out

I foresee a drone crash in the future here.

At least there will be good video coverage!

I'd be concerned about interference with the Mavic's GPS, it's right under the Sony. Cool mount nonetheless.

The GPS is in the back though, not the front. The front has almost nothing there.

I'm going to guess this is for a better option of video or pictures ? Will this not overload the motors and create a constant imbalance of the motors running ? Always trying to compensate for balance during flight ? Not to mention that is a double slam of $ if you have a failure during flight and crash

 

[Cyberpower678]

When you fly that sucker, please upload a dat file of the flight. I want to analyze the motor outputs.

Front is Compas, I believe.

Nope that's also in the back.

Johnny what kind of mount are you using for the tablet, I am interested in something similar to that so I dont have to have my mount stretched out all the way.

small tablet mount from Shapeways.com

Huh, when I put my GPS tracker on the front it creates a Compass interference

I have my GPS tracker in the front to. No compass change. Besides older Mavics had an issue where high current in the rear motors resulted in compass failures.

I bought a similar thing from eBay. Only arrived 2 days ago and had 2 flights with it so far but very happy.

Highly doubt that a small weight inbalance like that would cause a crash after seeing videos of people flying around towing bags full of hamburgers etc with no issues

Well towing it and carrying up top is different. The center of mass is what makes the difference. If you dangle a full bag on the bottom of the drone, it's COM is lower but still relatively centered. Plop a camera on top not it's lifted and to the front. The drone has to compensate differently to handle it. It's sort of like the difference of having to push an object versus having to pull it.
