Hi guys,
I've got an F550 (among others) which I find great for FPVing and general aerial filming as it's nice and stable, but I'm finding my flight times are ridiculously short, ~7 minutes on a steady flight. It's running off a NanoTech 3S 6000mAh(!) LiPo, which to be fair I wouldn't really want to upsize to a larger battery as they're fairly hench LiPos.
I was wondering though about the possibilities of carrying two LiPos at once and the best way to do it? Also with the extra 500g LiPo whehter or not I would actually gain any flight time?
I've currently got the Battery mounted on the top of the hex (which goes against my physics based mind regarding C of G) but I'd be a bit worried about mounting two on top as it might make the Hex a bit top heavy??
Anybody else had any experience doing this or know if this is a safe option?
I've also seen a few other quads of other brands where the batteries are mounted on the landing legs, sort of at an angle either side. I can't find anything even similar to this for DJI crafts and was wondering if anyone could help me.
Any input would be muchly welcomed
