This is not a feature advantage — it is a necessity. The original FD1's integrated camera gimbal assembly and associated electronics add meaningful weight to the airframe, which demands a higher-energy battery to deliver acceptable flight times for fishing missions. The larger 6500mAh pack compensates for the heavier aircraft, providing sufficient flight time for practical bait deployments and ocean fishing missions despite the additional hardware weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consequence is that the original FD1 carries less available payload capacity than the camera-free FD1+ and FD3 models, since a portion of the drone's total lift capability is used by its own heavier airframe.
