I could not find anything to indicate a payload capacity for the VOXL m500 - PX4 Development Drone. Please specify whether this is total capacity to include the battery or not.

Hi @jsauter ,

We haven't done extensive validation but 1kg (not inluding battery) should be fine.

That aligns with what we have posted on the datasheet [here](https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-m500-functional-description/)
