sorry but that has been so long ago I do not remember the weight, but it wasn't much. This was a test run I did prior to a huge rally, and it was a huge hit at the rally. I used dow rods to attach the flags to with zip ties, and used rip cord to attach do the drone. This was my Mavic 2 Zoom so I would assume your Mavic 3 can handle it. Be sure to use enough line (between drone and top flag) so that your bottom sensors do not get confused. The flags were 3x5 but were extremely light. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

​@@deemacha1962 Thanks, Watching your video gave me the confidence that my drone would be up to the task and I can't thank you enough for that. I flew my first 3x5 American flag today using 1/2" PVC tubing as a pole and used zip ties to attach the flag to the PVC. PVC actually weighs more than dow rods would have but it's what I had so I used it. I even put end caps on it giving it a more finished look adding about another 2 oz to the payload. The tether I used was made of a 25 foot length of 1/16 micro cord with a 110 pound breaking strength. That was probably overkill but I used what I had. I attached the entire contraption to a thrower designed to drop bait for fishing so I could drop the entire payload in case of an emergency. Just a safety measure since these drones aren't exactly cheap. Taking everything into account all up the payload weighed in at 16.8 oz, I know that's over a pound but to my surprise the drone didn't even struggle lifting it. If I ever decide to lift two flags as you did, I'll probably skip using a rod all together in lieu of just adding a weight on a short tether to the bottom of the flag with the flag attached directly to the tether leading up to the drone. I flew a flag today using this method and even with the weight used to keep tension on the line, my contraption weighed 3 oz less than with the rod. This is the method used by paratroopers when they hang huge flags under themselves during sporting events, air shows or other large events. Thanks again for sharing your video and for your reply.

That is awesome and glad my video provided some help to you. Did you happen to catch the flight on video? I would love to see it!!! @@thriftysurvivor6117

@@deemacha1962 I only caught it from the drone's perspective so It's not as good as your video but yes, I did catch it on video. If I could figure out how to shoot video from the ground while flying my drone that'd be more worth posting. You did a great job capturing your footage from a spectator perspective.

my wife was videoing as I was flying the drone. Im so happy it worked out for you@@thriftysurvivor6117

Dronerise Photography had been pretty smooth flying for almost an hour when that happened. Thankfully I was on my way back when it hit and had most of the footage I wanted.

I’m telling ya, I have become addicted. I am seeing things everywhere I go ( I’m on the road a lot ) that I want to video. The problem I am having is that I live in west Texas and the wind blows everyday. A lot of what I want to shoot won’t require a lot of altitude but I’m scared to go up to much so just waiting on calmer days. Thinking I am going to need to purchase a larger one. $$$ yep... I’m an addict LOL.

@@deemacha1962 the Mavic Air can handle about any wind you want to fly in.

Dronerise Photography I see all these videos of people doin it, I suppose maybe I still haven’t learned it’s limits and to trust it. Most of what I’m wanting to do right now will be on fixed objects so will not be doing much landscape flying. Thank you sir for the help.

Dronerise Photography check out the video I just posted. Had a little wind issue while shooting some Wind-turbines at sunset.

DRONECAM 77 thank you sir! I am brand new to this as you can tell. I wanted to take it up higher but was very windy and afraid of it getting away from me over the water. Next step is to figure out what editing program I need to use that will allow me to upload the music I want to put with my videos, that is easy for a rookie.
