I will mostly be flying for fun at first but will be doing video later on, maybe right away, not sure yet. I might as well plan for video. QAV500 site lists a combo they claim gets 25 minutes with all the camera gear on board. Sales pitch, probably.

GJH, are you referring to this? "I use a Tattu 6s 8000 Mah 25c with T-motors MN3508 KV 308 with T Motor 13×4 .4 CF props and 45 ESC" Any idea how much time this will get me? I want to make sure this is done right the first time.

You're probably right. I should probably lean towards one or the other. Maybe a 15 minute flight time would be more realistic then I could change out one battery instead of two. The one guy on here plugged all my initial info into a calculator, I can't find it right now but I was wondering if...

That is very helpful. My plan is to get the QAV 500 with 540mm arms and the DJI Naza. Those two I'm pretty firm on. Sounds like from what I'm learning from you guys is that I need a lower kv motor and bigger props. I was thinking 12" carbon fiber props. Could someone please throw out a combo of...

Thanks herp! Would anyone be able to insert 300kv motors and 6s batteries and see what that would give me? Is it true that lower kv means slower spinning props? I'd like to be able to still be nimble in the sky?

I'd like about 30 minutes. I really don't the direction I need to go. Please help.

Thank you ringlong! That's definitely not long enough. What changes could be done to make a longer flighterm time?

Using a QAV500 frame and 540mm arms. Could someone please tell me if this is a good combo and how long flight time would be? 4x Lumenier FX4006-13 740kv Motors 4x Lumenier 30 amp ESC with SimonK Firmware Tiger 12x4 Carbon Fiber Props (pair) QAV Quick-Mount Brushless Gimbal Unit (Plug & Play)...

I don't think I'll run into any problems with lift so I might run two in parallel. Now, my biggest question is which combination of motors, props, speed controllers, and batteries I would need to get good performance with high endurance.

Noted! Thank you. Would I get more flight time with more than one battery?

Thanks. I'm looking for some sort of list. Mainly the motors, speed controllers, batteries... the power supply.

Thanks for the suggestions Ringlong.

If I could reach 30-40 minutes I'd be happy. The heaviest thing I'd be carrying would be a QAV quick mount gimbal and GoPro.

I've got around a $1,000 budget and Im aimingfor endurance for long flight time and the ability to still be relatively nimble in the air. I will be adding a gimbal and GoPro later. I like the QAV500 with 540mm arms and the flight controller will be DJI Naza M v2 w/ gps and compass. Please help...
