Inspire 1 Battery Carrier

thingiverse

Designed to transport batteries between charging sites and re-use locations, especially in Search and Rescue missions where flights are often conducted from remote areas. Here's a video demonstrating flight with carrier and extra battery. Although designed not to significantly affect the aircraft's lateral center of gravity, it will alter its performance characteristics. The Inspire can certainly lift an additional 600g battery, but it requires more thrust, resulting in less remaining for maneuvering and speed, and blocks the VPS, causing the aircraft to feel unstable near the ground due to reliance on GPS positioning. Your results may vary; use this system only if you're comfortable with its operating characteristics and increased risks. Part 107 commercial pilots are advised that, at present, non-flight batteries appear to be prohibited. Future clarifications or exceptions may address these concerns, however, and do not impact recreational or public agency use cases.
