I work for a fire dept, and we now have a DJI550 with extended arms and 4006-13 740KV T-motors, but about a year ago before we made that purchase I made a spotlight rig for my Mavic Pro. (I know, way too small, but that's all we had at the time) After watching the video in the second post, I set my goal weight for the spotlight set up, at 1.8lbs / 816g. I found a set up that was 1.7lbs / 775g. It lifted off the ground, besides a wobble, which could have probably been fixed, within 20sec. of just hovering, I got an ESC high temp warning, so I landed immediately. After total re-mod, got it down to 1.2lbs / 555g, I had no problems and no warnings, even after flying a little aggressive for a minute or so. I didn't add anything else to see how much more it could safely lift, but I would say the most you'd want to lift safely would be nothing heavier than 1.3lbs / 600g.
Note: I ran tests with 3 different types of props, I don't have any video, but if you would like a more in depth post on my results, a few pics and the specs of the gear I used, check out the link below.
