When you talk about how much payload a MR will lift are the batterys usually included in that number? For instance, if someone says a MR will handle a 3kg payload is that the gimbal and camera only or is it the gimbal, camera and batterys? I have been having a hard time finding the max payload for my current build but then it occured to me why would a company provide that info when there are so many variables with motors, props etc that would open them up to criticizism if their MR didnt live up to their claims.
The second part of my question is on prop thrust. When a motor/prop combo says it will put out a certain amount of thrust (usually in kg) is that the same as saying how much that would equate to in lift. In other words if a motor/prop combo lists 1 kg of thrust and its a quad copter would that mean it would lift 4 kg? I realize thats an overly simplistic example due to many other variables.
