I'm looking to add
1. Inductive charging (3g)
2. One long range ultrasonic range-finder (2.7g)
3. One short range IR range-finder (3.6g)
TOTAL: 9.3g

To a crazyflie, if I get one. Before I buy it, though, I'd like to check that 9.3g is a realistic payload for the 10DOF version. I might be able to lose the IR range-finder if 5.7g is a more sensible weight.

Crazyflie can only lift about 5g without much loss of agility and upto 10g of severely impaired flight

Moreover you need to allow 100% thrust for the 10g payload, don't forget that the flightime will be reduced. I have tested it and Crazyflie did not successfully lift anything above 10g.
