Professional climbers are known for being able to hang off of two fingers.

It usually takes years of training to be able to do this.

It’s one thing to be able to hang off a finger hooked over a tiny ledge, it’s much easier to hook a handle and lift a load vertically. Most adult humans could lift 10kg witha couple of fingers.
Except for a fair comparison with this particular drone, you need a figure for how much you can carry on top of your finger, pointing upwards, while keeping it balanced.
No I don't, because I don't need to carry things like that. I need to compare this drone with a sturdy cardboard box that I can carry things in.
