Thanks again Pellen,
Do you think if I buy it RTF from quadcopters.co.uk they will do all that for me? So you only actually need one of those cables but they come as a 5?
Also what do the difference "C" values mean on batteries? Does a higher C just mean it can supply more of its charge at any one time? Is 20C good enough for my build?
What capacity battery would you guys recommend? I was thinking either 4,000 or 5,000mAh as long as the F450 can cope with a GoPro with Gimbal and a huge battery!
I run a 3S 2650 Turnigy Nano-Tech with 10" Props, and my GoPro on the front of it. I get about 12 minutes flight time before I start to red light. The bigger the capacity battery, the more weight your going to add to the 450. Not sure of the weight of that gimbal, but I presume it will require a couple of servos too?
Ohh just noticed something.... It does not come with that Gimbal, it is the gear and PTZ only.... Thought it was cheap.. lol
Here is the item specs
Product Description
Package included:
- 1 x Landing skid set
- 1 x PTZ
- 4x ANTI-Vibration Rubber
this price only including the landing gear and PTZ. <<--------
That is the same one you posted before. He said this comes with a Gimbal?
I like where your going with this!A year ago I was exactly where you guys are now. Don't waist your money or your time with that gimbal, spend your money on more battery, more battery equals more flight time, more flight time equals more skill, more skill equals less crashing, less crashing means less money spent buying cheap chinese repair parts, less time buying cheap chinese repair parts equals more time with significant other, more time with significant other equals more zug zug, more zug zug equals happier significant other, more happy significant other equals more understanding of what you're trying to do with these "toys".
Would you say that this is a good battery?

Seems like it's got a good capacity:weight ratio. Is this a different shape to normal batteries as it's called "compact"
Can anyone else recommend another high capacity battery which has high capacity and is also relatively lightweight?
