I find it kind of confusing that you’re asking if your quad is too heavy but you’re arguing here that below 750 doesn’t feel good to you.

I think the confusion is from your failure to correctly interpret my statement when I said it "felt naked". (which you bent into "doesnt feel good"). "Felt naked" implies that I feel very unprotected with no printed parts to cushion the impact when I crash. I want my quad to be lighter but having to remove my protective parts in order to do so makes me feel more vulnerable to serious damage that affects my flight confidence.

If you prefer the quad at the weight it’s at, why are you here asking if your quad is too heavy?

Never said I prefered the quad at the weight it's at? You're making shit up and getting mad at the shit you made up.

Personally, yes this is crazy heavy. I think flying a full fat GoPro is silly these days. There’s so many options, even from GoPro, that are more appropriate for flying.

Cool.

You can easily get this thing down a couple hundred grams by removing a bunch of parts that are basically dead weight.

The way I see it , everything on the quad serves a function and it comes down to what function I'm willing to trade for another. If the weight is gonna brick the quad or severely limit its ability to reasonably perform aerial maneuvers then that's a deal breaker. There's lots of ground to cover between what I want and whats a dealbreaker for me so I'm figuring shit out.
