Parachute Drop Test Load Cell

I am preparing to start testing my textile parachutes with drop tests and "run" tests and I need a way to measure the drag created by the parachute. I want to connect a load cell between parachute and drop test capsule and import the time-load data in excel after the drop. How do I do that? Where should I buy this stuff? My loads will (hopefully) be under 10kg on the load cell. I am not doing this those tests with any real goals, I'm doing these for fun and to get experience with parachutes. ChatGpt tells me to buy an "S" load cell and connect it to arduino.

Also, does anyone know some papers similar to the "Parachutes for Planetary Entry Systems"?
