What is Weight in g?

In short

The mass of the lightest camera or drone each maker sells, which decides what fits your bag.

Weight in g is the mass of the lightest camera or drone each maker sells, which tells you how easily it fits a pocket, a small bag or a bare hand. Lighter gear is easier to carry and easier to hold through a long shoot, while extra mass often signals a bigger sensor or battery. DJI sits at the light end with 52 g, followed by EMeet at 125 g and AKASO at 180 g. At the heavier end sit ARLO with 199.5 g and Autel Robotics with 866 g. Match the figure to your bag, not to the spec sheet.
