Weight to motor comparsion

I have an Arris 810 Hexacopter (AUW 3620 Grams) with Arris 4010 pro 380Kv motors. With 13x4.7 props on it they have 780 grams thrust at 50% per motor. Running 30Amp esc's and 6S 3300 batteries in parallel. With 15x5.5 props it will have 950 grams of thrust at 50% per motor. I just did the compass dance and did my first test flight and it seems to fly great but it also seems to need a little more thrust also. I"m thinking more in line of the 15x5.5 props for more boost.

Yes I have almost the same setup. You should definitely go with 15" props.

I personally use and like the Foxtech Supreme Lites. They have a good cost to performance balance.

You may want to bump up your battery amperage a bit too on your next battery purchase. I'd suggest two 5000 or 6000 mah 6s

Yea I was going in the direction by using (2) 6S 5000mah batteries with 15X5.5 props and that will give me 2490 grams of thrust at 100% throttle. Right now I get 7.5 mins on (2) 6S 3300mah batteries in parallel

On my Tarot 810 similar motors etc. I get 13-14 mins with two 5000 mah batts. So I'd bet with the 15" props and 5k batteries you'd get about the same.

Of course this is with no gimbal on mine. When I add a Famous Hobby BG003 and a Canon 5D that drops to about 8-9 mins... I'm in the process of changing to the (lighter by 1/2) Sony a6300 though, which should give me a few more mins

I took an Arris 680MM hexacopter and added longer carbon tubes to make it a 810MM but the actual dimension is 819MM. I only use a cheap 2-axis camera gimbal right now until I decide what to replace it with. I don't think my copter sits as high as yours but its high enough for me right now. That's a really nice looking copter you have Violetwolf and that gimbal is huge lol
