Payload Types
Common drone payloads include: EO/IR camera gimbals (surveillance/inspection), LiDAR scanners (mapping), multispectral cameras (agriculture), cargo release mechanisms (delivery), loudspeaker/spotlight (SAR), and gas sensors (environmental). Each has unique weight, power, and data requirements.

Mechanical Integration
Payloads mount via vibration-dampened plates, quick-release gimbals, or custom rails. Center of gravity must remain within flight controller parameters. Vibration isolation is critical for camera/LiDAR image quality — use gel dampers or silicone grommets matched to payload weight.
Electrical & Data Interfaces
Power: 5V/12V/24V from UBEC or dedicated payload battery. Data: PWM (simple trigger), UART/MAVLink (telemetry/control), Ethernet/USB (high-bandwidth sensors), HDMI (video). The DJI Payload SDK and PX4 MAVLink provide standardized integration frameworks.
Flight Time Impact
Every 100g of payload reduces flight time by 5-15% depending on drone efficiency. Calculate hover thrust with payload: if hover exceeds 50% of max thrust, flight time drops sharply. Always test payload configurations for thermal and vibration issues before operational deployment.
