That is a bizarre reply, it isn't pointless, it may be juvenile, not sure how you see it as dangerous? Did you feel threatened or something? I've been asked by everyone who has seen the drone how much it could lift. I had to say I don't know. Now I know that it can lift at least 167grams or about half its weight. I'm know more now than I did before. I also saw a video where a guy had his spark rescued after it crashed on a water tank a long way past a fence. A friend rigged up a coat hanger on a larger DJI drone and flew to the Spark and eventually snagged it, lifted it and flew it back to the owner. So if at some point I fly the Spark across my back yard with a little weighted banner under it for a video I already know that I need to stay under a certain weight. And yes it isn't recommended, it probably voids a warranty that may or may not cover everything anyway, and if I crash and break my Spark, well that is a possibility every time you move that thing so do the math and decide if it's worth it to you to try.
Frankly, I am blown away by most of the negative responses and criticism I see on this forum to those who experiment. Its fine if you like to just play with your drones. Let's face it, DJI is not forthcoming with tech specs and the experimenters among us are left to, well, experiment and, heaven forbid, void our warranty. I designed my own battery for spark with 70% more mAh but 50g heavier. Knowing load and performance is real important to me so thanks for such tests! So off I go to warranty hell, ha, but I honestly believe that it is the experimenters among us who, to some degree, motivate DJI to make better products and improve existing ones! |
