Inspire 3 X9-8K Air payload weight optimization - real-world field experience?

  • Members

Just picked up the Inspire 3 combo and I'm doing commercial work where payload efficiency is critical. The X9-8K Air weighs about 516g compared to 1.04kg for the Ronin 4D versions - that's substantial weight savings. However, I'm wondering about real-world performance when adding filters, lens hoods, and balancing the max takeoff weight of 4,310g total.

Has anyone experienced flight time degradation with heavier DL lens setups? I'm particularly interested in the 50mm and 75mm performance since weight seems to be why some lenses like the 17-28mm zoom aren't compatible. Also curious about gimbal motor stress under windy conditions with additional accessories mounted.
