Will the f550 safety lift 380 grams?

[gencode]

I have a camera that weighs in at 13.4 oz(378 grams)
It lifts fine in my living room but I want to be safe and make sure this is a valid lifting weight for the f550 lifting with 10" Gangapur blades before I take it outside.

I dont see on their site the lifting capacity. I also have a single 4S battery.

There site says but not sure if that takeoff weight is with their stuff(motors, naza-m) or would include my own payload. Also the range is big, does that mean stay in that range?

Frame Weight	478g
Takeoff Weight	1200g ~ 2400g

Thanks, Ed,

Hi gencode,

The specs as per DJI for the F550 are as follows (see their site) Flamewheel F550: weight completed (approx) 1200 g, Maximum take-off weight 2400 g. I suggest you purchase a cheep electronic scale (Wall Mart is fine) that is usually used for cooking. You can get this for under $15. Mine goes up to 5 Kg (5000 g). The idea is to use a board large enough that you can put your F550 on it. After turning the electronic balance on and allowing the required time to initialize properly, you should be at 0. Place the large board/tray on the scale and then hit the TARE button that will reset the scale at 0 WITH your board on it. You are now capable to precisely weigh your Quad, in any combinaison of camera/battery/landing gear. It found that the DJI limits are fairly accurate. Off course, if there is no wind and you are an experienced flyer, a 10% overload is OK but I suggest you respect the 2.4 Kg limitation. In case of an emergency, you will be happy you did!

We have a 2K gram scale so weighed the Cameras and f550 w/battery separate. f550 with fatshark and battery 1650. HD Canon camera 455
Total weight = 2105

Sometimes I use gopro if I want fisheye effect but never at the same time with Canon
GoPro Hero 2 comes in at 164
Total weight = 1815

So sounds like I am safe using either camera.
