Hardware Requirement/Limitation to Lift Camera

Posted by Graham Melbourne on January 24, 2013 at 2:51pm

Is there a way of calculating the hardware required e.g. esc Amps, motor etc to lift a given weight.

for example a safe load including the weight of the quad for my X650 is 1.8kg which includes battery etc, however I would like to attach a small DSLR which would top the weight to 2.1Kg.

Does any one know how I can calculate the required ESC Amp etc ?

thanks

Graham

Try this calculator:

Have been pretty correct when I have used it.
