Hi Everyone,
I have been saving up to build a quad for a while now and i need some advice.
Background:
i would like to use this quad to take aerial video with a gopro + gimbal. in this initial phase i would just be looking a building the quad by itself and flying that for a while before advancing to the go pro.
i have done my research and found the what i believe to be a good setup (detailed below).
Frame: Hobbyking X650F 550mm
Motor:
Model: NTM Prop Drive Series 28-30A 800kv (short shaft version)
Kv: 800rpm/v
Max current: 20A
Max Power: 300W
ESC: Afro ESC 30Amp (simon k)
Props: 10x4.5
Battery: 3s 3000mah 25~50C
Flight controler: MultiWii PRO Ez3.0 or APM 2.5
Anticipated weight: 1.5 - 2kg total (includes future addition of gopro+gimbal)
Questions:
Thank you for your help and please let me know if i have missed any details that are required.
appreciate any help i can get.
cheers,

Questions:
- Entering these details into eCalc i get a message The available power is not sufficient to hover . this is not what i expected as the manufacturer suggested that with a 10x5 prop i should achieve 1.2 kg thrust = 4.8 kg total > 2 x 2kg load - therefore it should fly? can someone please help me choose the correct battery/motor/propeller combo that will work in this situation?
- Secondly i would like to achieve a flight time of 10-15 mins, i am not sure if this setup will achieve that? if i can't achieve this with my setup what can i change to do so?
- I have had difficulty understanding which flight controller to choose for my application. can someone suggest the best FC for my application. don't mind the setup process but would like the best performance.
Thank you for your help and please let me know if i have missed any details that are required.
