Ideally, at least in my experience, setting the payload so it doesn’t drift but is easier to nudge up than it is down will make it as light as possible for freedrive. If you haven’t already, maybe setting up your UR to use Freedrive with both hands might help make it easier to move around (as opposed to only using one hand because the other is holding the Freedrive button.) > [@Move in Freemode - Using BOTH hands](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/move-in-freemode-using-both-hands/15422): > > Once in a while I need to call someone to hold the Free Move button while I position the robot. We have another robot here whose name i won’t mention that allows you to use both hands in Free Mode (there are buttons on the end of the TCP that you can hold down to use Free Move). UR is not going to physically add this type of interface to the TCP but they might be able to get around it by having a toggle button on the move screen. There is already a button on the screen that acts the same as the… This was a fricken game changer for me. I can push a button on the I/O page and the robot goes into Freedrive until I push the button again. Need to have your Payload and COG dialed in well enough so it doesn’t drift when in Freedrive but sounds like you’re already there. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/change-freedrive-resistance/15607)._
