Well, that would be great option, but there are a lot of speculations about keeping wires between ESC and battery as short as possible

In my previous thread I was convinced that 680 is not enough for aerial photo, so 810 was selected. Selected and ordered parts: T810 frame T-motors MN4010-14 370kv T-motors ESCs S35A T-motors props 15x5 DJI Naza M V2 Futaba T8J + R2008SB 2x Turnigy 6s 6000mAh 25-50c Parts are starting to...

Sorry for the late answer :) Schwett. I used to have 20/1.8 sigma lens (before I destroyed it by falling from bicycle on icy road), it is a huge.. Probably its weight is more, then small nikon body. I agree with you approach, but now I've changed my mind and I'm looking for 3D gimbal :)...

Ok, many thanks to everybody who took part in the discussion! I've placed orders for T810 frame and other stuff. Takes quite a lot of efforts to find everything I need in EU shops, since I don't want to bother with taxes and 3-4 weeks waiting. Probably I'll start new build tread soon. But this...

meriachee, thanks for the link to your build 680 was an original idea, but now I'm up to 810. I have some thing to figure out yet, but I'll order the parts soon

DJI data link is a nice thing, but another 200+ USD. I though that there can be smth simpler

Ok, one more question. It would be so much easier to use not specialized screen for FPV, but just phone. I could install this kit http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15295__SkyZone_5_8Ghz_200mw_FPV_Wireless_AV_Tx_Rx_Set.html So, video would be transferred to the ground as AV signal, and...

True, HK board has 10A max. So, I'll use this one for both distribution and lowering voltage http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__68694__HK_Pilot_Power_VI_Module_Distribution_Board_And_Dual_UBEC_ALL_In_One_120A_and_10s_.html

Ok, got it, thanks! So, this one can work http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__68694__HK_Pilot_Power_VI_Module_Distribution_Board_And_Dual_UBEC_ALL_In_One_120A_and_10s_.html Or in order to minimize soldering, I could also add this one before...

Aha, I see.. Wouldn't be easier to use smth like this to power 6 ESC's and Naza? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__47583__HXT_4mm_to_Six_XT60_Female_Power_Distribution_Lead_for_Multi_Rotor.html

Well, the problem is: this will be my first copter, I have never hold any copters in my hands and I don't recognize details on pictures (since I have never seen them live). That's why I'm asking what should I buy. When I get all this puzzle in my hands, I'll start to look to the pictures :) Yes...

Ok, thanks for tips. One more attempt with configuration, questions are in bold. I tried to select part according to accessibility within Europe in order to avoid VAT. Total weight (calculated, without wires) 5300, thrust 5640. If some obvious connection wires are missing from the list, please...

Ok, one more silly question. I don't see on the landing gear any motors. Do I need one for that also? Or how is it powered? Magnets? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__54334__Tarot_T810_T960_T1000_Multi_Rotor_Foldable_Landing_Gear_1_Pair_.html Regarding loctite removing.. I would try...

Let's say, is it doable twice a year before and after flight to some other country? Or should I just buy big enough case to fit it in the folded form?

Here it is partly foldable http://www.helipal.com/tarot-t810-hexacopter-frame-set.html How about possibility to disassemble/assemble it partly using screwdrivers and instruments within reasonable time, let's say 1 hr?

Ok, thanks for hint to KDE, smth to think about. A few common technical questions: 1. Carbon props from T-motors are rather costly (76 USD for 15*5 pair). Are they worth it, or can I use some cheaper ones? Namely, which brands? 2. Camera gimbals are often powered by 3s battery. Does it mean...

It would be an option to use MN4014 400KV , but they don't have specs for props smaller than 15"

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1896450&page=77 Here they claim that 15" is a limit for 810 frame, and 14" are better for stability Sorry, I don't have a picture, but if you look to 2 nearest arms of hexacopter from the top, you get equal-sided triangle (since angle at the...

Well, I got estimated total weight (with camera, gimbal, electronics, FPV, props etc.) 5336 g in case of using MN4014 400KV motors and thrust 7.5 kg with 15*5 props. Seem to be an overkill with power. There is no data for this motor for smaller props. In case of MT 4008 380KV total weight will...

If I have too much thrust, why not to eliminate it with some ballast, for example extra battery?
