Wow, thats class. Im considering drilling a series of holes in the arms of my frame and cutting off all the surfaces that I don't need...also taking off the feet and chopping the legs till the gopro just rests on the ground. I had a f450 style frame before and I was getting 9mins with a single...

I found this very interesting - http://www.********.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2083128 The Phantom is only 590g with everything including FC, motors, props, power board etc. Is there quad frame available (with legs) that can take a tarot gimbal that weighs less than 660g with everything except...

Im using this http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__34236__Hobbyking_X580_Glass_Fiber_Quadcopter_Frame_w_Camera_Mount_585mm.html Its 680g all in I think. I can't see one on Hobbyking thats better, apart from one thats 40g less. All the lighter ones are 250/200 size quads. Yes, I'm using...

Amazing Rotorfreek!! Thats brilliant info. Ive just ordered that 5800mah lipo you recommended. Ill get the charger and the cell checker next week. So 1450 getting 20 mins. I can't really see how I an loose weight with the gear I have on it as the frame is light plastic however ill try. I wonder...

Derry in N.I.

Think i'll try that! Thanks. Ill post the flight time.

Well the gimbal seems to be ok - FAQ: Q: How can I power my gimbal. A: 3s is recommended, but 4s will also work. Use either a stand alone pack (600-900 mAh) or tap into your distribution board or main pack.

Yeah, I can fly it no problem. Ive had a few frames etc (built my own once) but Ive only recently been looking at FPV. Ive gradually added to the build over the last 2 years and only recently had to move to a lipo more than 2200mah hence the problems with the 5000mah one. I have a full setup now...

Thanks Benjamin. So, how do I know if I can handle a 4s or more? How on earth do guys get 25+mins !? That would be amazing!

Yeah I think you're right. Thanks! Its been dodgy for the start. I'm gonna chuck it...expensive too! So if I get something else, while I have your expert opinion, what might I purchase to get a longer flight time. If I could get 15-20 mins with the setup I have (mentioned in first post) then Id...

For 40 mins now its been hanging around 3.76 4.20 4.21 Wont balance!

Isn't 4.37V way too high? I though they're all suppose to be 4.2V! Im going to try to balance them all to 4.2 and then run the timer again to see if I get more that 3min 30secs flight time. The quad lost power when the cells read - 3.2 4.11 4.11 That does not look right to me!

Thanks guys for your help. Im still trying to figure this out. I can't seem to change how much goes into the lipos, it just automatic. These 3 pics might help. One is right after the quad beeped and I was loosing powers (forward to keep it level i had to push all the way forward then even that...

I should have said 11.1 v I think

It's also been a few flights since I balanced them

I'm using a hobby king eco6 charger. I've never setup how much goes in. I set it to 11.5 (3s) then set it to 2.5 rate then it checks the battery and then starts. Maybe I'm not putting in as much as they can take?

Basically its charging the 5000 in the same time as the 2200. That can't be right surly?

Well, I'm using a kk2.1 Ive got the board set to beep at 10.8 so its definitely using all the power. You mentioned amps. When I try to charge my 5000, the charger shuts off if I select anything more that 2.5A So, I just charge at 2.5. I though that was the rate but maybe its the amount of Amp...

...and I charge at a rate of 2.2

Hi, Im measuring with a stopwatch on my iPhone. I hover at about 40% maybe. Definitely not over 50%. Its got loads of power to lift. Im not sure what you mean about how much back in...if you mean charging then 12.6v is when the charger beeps.
