Hello together,

here in Germany, we need an insurance for all drones - also for the DJI Phantom 4 (a so called "Drohnen Haftpflichtversicherung").

My question: we need to specify the exact weight and parameter of the drone when applying for an insurance.

What is the exact official weight of the Phantom 4 with and without batterie?

And which weight should typacally be used? With propellers? And with battery? Maybe even with remote? Or only the copter frame?

How is the Phantom 4 compared to other drones. Is it a "heavy weight" - or light or somewhere in the middle?

Thank you

Greetings from Germany!

i think you need JUST the weight of the aircraft, which should be on the dji website for P4 spec sheet

On my reasonably accurate kitchen scale, the weight of the craft is 935 grams, the battery is 450 grams for a total weight of 1.385 Kg

i weighed two batteries...  One was 463 grams and the other was 458, so 450 grams is a rough average.

Where was the data sheet of his Phantom 4 when Nooky was trying to lookup the weight in order to buy his "Drohnen Versicherung" ?

Aloha Hans,

     The specifications for the P4 are at the end of the manual and also on the web page for the P4 at the DJI.com web site on the line next to the downloads option.  

Aloha and Drone On!

Possibly same place as it is today, why?

To other finding this thread the answer would be 1380 g (Bat + Props included)
If using the high capacity batt (5870 mAh) you might need to add 6 g making the total 1386 g, this calculated from spec. of P4 and P4P.

Right now it is definitely not necessary any more to buy an extra drone insurance which wil lcost around 60usd per year. Much easier to simply get a liability insurance that also covers drones. Will cost around 40usd max per year.
