Maximum Payload Weight?

[noahtillotson]

What truly is the maximum payload weight that this thing can handle. there is no way that it is just .84 lbs like the manufacturer states...

Im trying to find a automatically inflating type IV PFD to drop from my EVO MAX but everything is coming in around 1.2 lbs... Think this is too much??

I do not know the payload information, but the Restube automatic is 245 grams or 0.54 lbs.
We use them for a public safety drone and the Evo 2 Dual carried it without issue.

Restube automatic is water activated. As soon as the Restube hits the water, it inflates within seconds. 2 intended purposes: Rescue aid for swimmers in distress Rescue aid for your falling into the water. Lifeguard / Search & Rescue: This is intended to be thrown to a person in distress as it...

You think the Evo Max could carry two?

The maximum take-off weight is 4.41 lbs. Or 1999 grams.

Dont you have to minus the weight of the drone though? The drone weighs 3.57 lbs which would make the total technical extra payload weight of .84 lbs, right?

The official Evo Max payload drop system from Autel states .7 pounds. So I would not attempt to carry two.


It would most likely carry two, but my concern would be when batteries start to age and deteriorate, the added weight could trigger a low power descent or worse.
I had this happen on a cold damp day where my Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced auto landed due to low voltage when carrying a single Restube Automatic.

I absolutely love the Restube Automatic. We tested it during a drill with news coverage and it more than met our needs. It is light weight and simple to repack with ~$20 repack kits.

Okay, thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.
