One hour battery life is possible, but it is not easy, and is costly. One problem you run into by getting a bigger capasity battery is that it weighs more, and so a 1500mah battery may give you the same battery life as a 3000 on smaller mutirotors. You can get better battery lifes by moving...

Sadly looks like they are not going to reach their goal :(.

@holtneil

Yeah, to tag me or someone use @usernamehere. Anyways, for camera quads DJI is very reputable, I suggest you get your own camera, as I think theirs are a little more camera than most people need and you pay for that extra camera too.

@Nick had the same problem with that charger, bad news I am afraid. I'll let him respond to say for sure though.

Haha, be sure to get Steveis pro firmware if you have the flash tool.

Yes, that is the balance plug, it makes sure some cells are not over charged and that others are not undercharged. If it is a dead LiPo that needs revived, only use the balance plug and not the main.

Alright switch it to LiPo, be sure to watch it closely.

I like them, the 4.7 pitch really helps. The slowfly style props seem to work nicely, plenty of power, and my quad is an aluminium tank haha.

Is it a cheap market battery or charger? If not it may be the settings in your charger.

I am using these motors, to swing 9''x4.7 slowfly props and lift three pounds, the battery is holding up nicely.

Sounds like you over discharged it, it is possible to revive one, but it is 50/50. If your charger has Li-Ion set it to that or Ni-Mh, and have it charge to the voltage on the pack (1S = 3.7, 2S = 7.4, 3S = 11.1, 4S = 14.8 ). After you get there charge it the rest of the way to full on the...

Never dealt with the mini, haha. Going to have to look into it.

Yes.

What is the capacity of the batteries? If it is the 5200mah then it should be fine. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/battery-c-rate-and-what-it-means.4695/

Take power from the PDB (only the positive lead), and plug it into the positive on the batt for the PDB. You probably just need to grab a wire and an end then just solder it on.

The receiver gets it's power from the FC when you plug it in to the different channels, and the FC gets it's power from the ESCs.

If the motors are the same than it should be easy, the board may be tuned a little differently, but it is worth trying.

You could use an Arduino in between if it uses coreless motors.
