That's excellent! Sounds like a nice set up.
I aleready have 2 zippy 3s 5000mha..i'm getting 7 min with a aeroxcraft landing gear and gopro mount
Just want to have some tips for other lipo or is it ok with my 3s 5000
but do you think it wiil be ok with this lipo

i have stock motors, naza gps, 10" graupner with aeroxcraft with gopro gimbal
tks!

DJI F550 WKM with AG550 gimbal and NEX5n with 18-55mm. Upgraded stock motors to Tigers 2216. Graupner 10x5 props.
Total weight: 3,3 kg. Batteries: Fligthmax S4 8000
Easy flying/hovering: 9-10 min
Agressive active flying: 7-8 min
(have 3 batteries and they differ)
Approx 3.5 pr cell left meassured on ground!

Yes. Only upgrade was motors - Tiger motors 2216 900kv. With 10" graupners I tried to lift off with my 5000mah 3S batteries. But could not lift this heavy! I then changed to 4S batteries. And with the Flightmax S4 8000mah which is 30C - I get those flight times mentioned in above post.
But bare in mind that 10min is only possible when I am doing easy slow flying with mostly hovering and slow turning. When flying active/aggressive, with fast lifting, crane type of shots that goes up to 20-30 meters and then fly around object and back down and up again - I normally get about 7-8 minutes max.
So its quite a big difference what type of flying you do!
I normally do my high altitude work during the first 5min of flight and then I fly last minutes close to me and ground. After 6-7 min I always land and check lipo voltage.
I used to stop when cells where 3.7v. As I read somewhere that this was recommended so you dont damage battery. Then my flight times where around 7 min hovering and 5 min max active flying.
But read again somewhere else that this is a bit old school and that the lipos today can take more charging and lower voltage before damage. But under 3.2v is not recommended! I dont know this for a fact - have only read it at this forum!
But stopping at 3.5v as a minimum pr cell seems to work fine.

Same setup, same battery, but using 9" Graupners.
Total weight is 2.94kg.
10 minutes of flight time with battery at 20%~23%.
