Tarot T810 3 pound lift test (about 40 seconds)

My first build handled the weight no problem, although it was a windy day so the test was just a lift test. Next I will fly it with 5 pounds. I don't imagine a mirrorless camera and gimbal will weigh anymore than that.

I have a quad and hex with 700 and 740kv motors..
I use 5200mah lipo on the quad and get 12 mins variable speed flying with small camera and gimbal..
hex has 22mins flytime sofar (16000mah lipo) with four cameras and 1 gimbal.. (still working with remaining lipo capacity in battery to extend flights) - new build slow testing..
both hover below 50% mark..

what motors and lipos you using,, I going to build another with more cells,, jumping from 4s to 6s, hopping to gain longer flight times with larger props and lower kv motors..

Nice! Time to hang a full frame dslr or mirrorless under that beast!

The motors are multistars 4114-320kv. Battery 6s 10000. Dont know about flight times yet. I have been too chicken to fly it from my deck for that long. Will probably know after tomorrow.

Just did a 10 minute flight. My fully charged battery went down to 23.04 volts, and the lowest cell was at 3.77. For the last 40 seconds or so, when I would give it full throttle in GPS mode, the LED would flash red. I'm not sure how much lower I can go. I am new at this. Sure is a blast!

I would bring my hex down once the first one hit 3.72 volts, and that is a very save voltage if you want the battery to live a long life.

I was finding my voltage warnings were coming in early when under load,,, took me some time to fine tune the voltage and current settings to stop this,,, at first the alarm would go off and I would land,, test lipo with a voltmeter,, and it would show 15 volts .... (still plenty left on a 4s 16000mah)

ime using taranis - mavlink with teensy board... I get full telemetry with gps map on my transmitter showing distances and directions.. voltages, current, mah used and so on..

I also got the multistar elite motors on my hex,, there very smooth 4010 740kv... I have used sunnysky 3508 700kv ,,, and deffo prefer the smooth multistars,,, the sunnsky are more suited to my smaller quad..

I did an auto tune ALL 3 AXIS AT ONCE --- it took 22mins to complete -- if your going to do an auto tune,, better to do yaw roll and pitch separate.. I using pixhawk flight controller..
