What the thread found

• The Tango can be flown with the ISO-elastic arm that comes standard with the Zephyr, though the payload capacity will be reduced compared to using a G40 arm.
• The Zephyr arm accommodates approximately 30 pounds of total camera weight, while the G40 arm can handle around 40 pounds.
• Both the Zephyr arm and G40 arm are ISO-elastic designs.
• Multiple Zephyr/Tango package configurations were available for purchase, allowing buyers to select either the standard Zephyr arm or upgrade to a G40 arm.

Depends on

• This discussion is from 2010 and addresses equipment availability at that time.
• The exact payload specifications are approximations mentioned in the forum rather than official specifications.
• No detailed testing data is provided for operating at the stated weight limits.
