Build weight planner
What will your drone weigh, battery and all? Start with a book build, adjust the weights, and see what a different part or extra camera adds.
Estimates weight, not component compatibility. Weigh your finished drone with its flight battery and accessories fitted.
Each weight covers the whole row: Motors (×4) means all four motors.
Additional items
Add anything not already counted, such as a mount, strap or extra wiring.

How to use the weights and targets
All-up weight (AUW) includes everything carried in flight. Reference weights combine published figures with labelled allowances; open a part's details to see what its weight includes. Count each cable, fastener and accessory once, and replace allowances with measurements as you build.
Changing a weight does not check a replacement part's mechanical, electrical, video or firmware compatibility. Keep a note of the actual parts in your parts worksheet.
EU readers: For a privately built aircraft, the EU Open A1 route requires maximum take-off mass including payload below 250 g and maximum operating speed below 19 m/s; all other applicable Open Category and national requirements still apply. Weight alone is not permission to fly. Check the EASA privately built drones FAQ and your local authority. A weight estimate is not a legal determination.
