## Legacy IF800 Payload Mounting

The stock damping plate (shipped prior to Q3 2025) is fixed in Position 2, and is limited to a payload weight of 1.5kg. Please contact IFT to explore Pro Damping Kit upgrade path(s). For instructions on how to remove the legacy damping plate and install the Pro Damping Kit, please watch the video on the [IF800 Midweight Pro Damping Kit](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-tomcat-overview/payload-mounting/if800-pro-damping-kits/if800-midweight-pro-damping-kit.md) page.
