Is it possible to add a camera weighing about 60g at the end? #15

Hi, thank you for this amazing project. I'm new to the field of robotics and came across your project through the lerobot project. I've already managed to run the robotic arm and perform teleop operations. Now, I'd like to try visual control based on this arm. I'm planning to purchase an Intel D405 depth camera, which weighs 60g. How can I calculate whether the end of this robotic arm can support such a payload? If the load is supportable, I might try to 3D print a new end component to mount the camera.

Hi legatoo, did you make it? And if so, can you release your work. Thanks :)

I think its generally pretty hard to calculate the end effector max load. But from experience I would say 60g is pretty ok.
