Max weight for NAZA

[periquira]

What is the max weight that NAZA can handle in a quad configuration?

 

[Gunter]

It all depends on your motors and props etc.

Do you mean, using the F450 frame?

 

[periquira]

I have my own frame. I am just moving from hoverfly to dji, so you can see my pictures on this thread:
http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?5454-What-is-going-on

I use: turnigy 60A plush ESC
emax motors
apc props 12x3,7
lipo 4s 10.000mAh
quad X configuration and it weights ~5kg

About stability, is there any difference between naza and wkm?
Is naza sufficient to fly fpv in a windy condition?

 

[kloner]

I don't know the exact details, but for whatever reason they say that heavy loads and big craft need wk....... it's on the naza webpage second paragraph down.

This is the problem, I don know what they want to say with "heavy loads".
It is not clear.

There is not "heavy load limit" for the naza. In my opinion a quad with 12x3,7 and 5kg is far beyond the limit, should be an okto, or more with that propeller.

This copter has about 4kg:

This hexa also about 4kg (now I have the WKM on this hexa, and there is no noticable difference):

So you think that naza is enought?

wkm price scares me haha

 

[FerdinandK]

Yes, it is, if you do not need waypoints, a Z15, or POI, the Naza is enough.

(a quad with 12x3,8 and 5kg is not a good choice)

FerdinanK, let me make 2 more questions: what is Z15? is there any difference about the ability to deal with strong and variable wind between wkm and naza?

ps.: everybody talks about my configuration, but it surprinsingly flies very well. I can get 15 min with all video equipments.

 

[FerdinandK]

The Z15 is a gimbal (2.2kg with cam)

The WKM is in the current focus of firmware updates, but the "wind resistance" is (in my opinion) more a question of props (and their pitch).

If you setup flies well for you everything is ok.

best regards
