I need your opinion

[Donovan Silver]

I am looking into building a quad copter and I have put together a list of parts. I believe everything here would work but I would like to ask some people more experienced than me about it. I will be adding a gimble and a gopro or similar camera on it as well but I have not chosen those. For the needs I have, would this flight controller be good, is there a better flight controller I could use? If you could point out any other issues or suggestions that would be great I am trying to learn as much as I can before I build. Also if you guys have an suggestions on how to make cut some price off it that would be great, I am open to upgrading it in the future so I don't need top of the line things right off the bat.



Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Everything looks good to me except the motor. You may want a little higher kv on a 4s setup. I would run those motors on a 6s setup.

Hover is 85% with the one you picked. This is with the 580kv.

So what would you suggest for different motors? Or should I just get a 6s battery? and do you know if I can add a gimble to this using this flight controller?

I would go 6s for sure as it would be the most efficient, but you have to consider charging all of those cells.

You can get a gimbal that works independently so no need to worry about your flight controller being compatible.

Numbers with 6s.




I just realized that was with a 3s here it is with a 4s.
