Sentinel Drone's Actual Payload Capacity
-
My team has recently purchased a Sentinel drone and we are in the process of procuring a suitable gimbal payload to enhance its versatility. While reviewing the product datasheet available here, we noted that the specified payload capacity for the Sentinel drone is 1kg.
To ensure seamless integration and optimal performance, I am reaching out to kindly request clarification on the practical payload capacity that the Sentinel drone can effectively accommodate. Specifically, I am interested in understanding whether it is advisable to attach a payload nearing the 1kg limit (as the Gimbal we are looking at is ~900g), or if there are certain considerations or precautions that we should be mindful of during this process.
Looking forward to your support.

@SMRazaRizvi You will obviously lose flight time and may need to retune the PID for the drone, but it should fly
