Greetings all,
Would appreciate any input from other users on this. As I sit waiting for my S800 and Zenmuse to arrive I've been thinking about what I'd like to do with my F450.
I've decided I'd like to give it a bit more Ummmph ! Basically faster and more powerful. A few weeks ago I installed my gopro, an arducopter gimble, a remzibi osd and a 5.8ghz transmitter on it. Results weren't great. It didn't have the power it needed and she felt very sluggish in the air so I stripped it back down again. I think I'd like to use it as an FPV rig so I know I need to make some upgrades. I know I could change frame but I'd really like to make the F450 work.
Current setup is,
DJI Wookong (This is going back in the box until my S800 arrives. Going to be putting a Naza on it)
JDrones 880kv AC2836-358 motors
jDrones 30 Amp ESC's
A couple of 5000 mah 3s batteries
Futaba Receiver R6208-SB
Graupner 10x5 props
The hope is to install the naza, osd, video transmitter, receiver and gopro (with or without gimble, not sure yet) back on the F450 and have the power I need to do a bit of careful FPV.
I'm happy to change everything and move to 4s. I also have some 8 and 10 Graupners.
Can anyone give suggestions for a suitable upgrade ? ie. Motors, ESC's, battery and props.
All answers are much appreciated !
Regards
Eoin
