Phantom 2 Maximum Take Off Weight (TOW)

Hi there,

I have a Phantom 2 with the following:

T-Motor MN2214-11 Motors
T-Motor 9x3 Carbon Fibre Props
Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal with a Go Pro Black+ (With the anti-interference board)
iOSD Mini
AVL58 Video Downlink
FPV Hub
Prop Guards

I just installed the video downlink, iOSD Mini and FPV hub today and decided to weigh it. The total weight as it sits is 1441g. From my research the maximum take off weight specified by DJI is 1300g so I'm 141g over. I know I could instantly save 75g by taking the prop guards off, but I'll still be 66g over. I'm expecting that will probably have minimal if any effect, maybe reduced flight time?

So basically it's almost impossible to get it under 1300g with a FPV set up using standard DJI gear.

I would like to know the total weight of some other Phantoms with FPV set ups, and any other people that are running around the 1350-1400g weight zone as to their experiences with having a heavy rig.

UPDATE:

Just took the prop guards off and now have a TOW of 1354g. Turns out they weigh more than 18.7g each, more like 22.2g.

Been flying forever with a 1412g TOW using stock DJI props. No problems at all. Around 14 mins flight time.
