I crew a Chinook, we can lift 15,000 pounds without the oscillation of the load underneath....LOL....Nice lift though. a little scketchy when the load was swinging back and forth about what its like in big heli with a sling load, although a mistake here is maybe a few hundred bucks but in a real bird we punch off the load or slow down airspeed to slow the oscillation (swinging of the load) or on a really bad day we become a dirt dart...that hasnt happened yet lol

I was looking for information on how much a Blade 400 can lift, as my Scale Body project is approaching 1000 grams. I had not found an answer yet, so this is helpful. Thanks!

And I worried about carrying a tiny HD camera

probably about 4/6 oranges, depends if your battery is fully charge with maximum power

Wow! What would you say could it lift right out of the box?
