Sounds good! Any other details about your build? Kit, frame, DIY, motor/prop/ESC combo, flight controller?

Cheers!

how is this one working, and what have you been using it for? Will you be going through the CAA process as well in order to do commercial work?

Its good but with the one battery its soon out of power, im thinking of changing the tarot frame and building it back into a X8 spinning 18" props if the calcs work out, not sure on frame i would choose, I use it for still photography hence the 5D2, dont do much video at all

Sounds nice! I own a 5Dm2 as well, great camera. I have done mostly video with it. Sending a GH4 into the air eventually so we shall see how that goes.

What are your flight times like? I am testing 2x 6S 10Ah Multistars to see where that gets me. Obviously it's a balance between the added weight and the added capacity. You should be pretty good with the tris and 1552's, though. Maybe try a different motor in ecalc?
