External payload and centre of gravity setting.
-
Im attaching an independent operated gimbal and camera system to a sentinel. Its weight total is under 200g. Assuming i can get the centre of gravity aligned on a horizontal axis, but not the vertical (ie. Heavier at bottom); would a pre calibrated sentinel drone need to be re-tuned or recalibrated in anyway? Will it be safe to fly and stable as per factory setting with 200g weight (assuming extrinsic of drone height, length, width dont change, just the vertical cog).

There's no way for us to know for sure. Please use good safety precautions when you are trying it out: https://modalai.com/safety

@Moodsh00 Were you able to successfully attach and configure the additional payload?
Can you also share which gimbal did you attach?I am also in the phase of attaching a ~900g Gimbal to the Sentinel and I'm trying to see if that's possible.
