Heavy payload, batteries and motors dilema

I have a Cinestar 8 with AV200 360 camera mount (with MK electronic and QC3328 motors).
I bought 10 x 5S 8000mAh zippy bateries and was planing to fly Canon 7D & Tokina 11-16 lens and 2 x 5s batteries in paralel with APC SlowFly 14x4,7 props.
But whole setup is very heavy (2 video links, battery for camera mount, fpv camera, second tx, 2x5s) and the motors are really struggling to lift the system.

What is the best solution (not cheapest).

1. to fly with just one 5S battery on top of cinestar

2. to buy new set of 4S batteries and fly in parallel

3. to change QC motors to TM2826 ( i already have them)

Im looking for best quality solution in long run.
Any advise is appreciated

Somebody else may have more direct experience with your setup and be able to offer advice. But until that happens I'd recommend using eCalc to get your answers. Start by reproducing your current setup, making sure it agrees with your experince, in terms of flight time and hover throttle. Then you can try changing components to see what happens. Use the "without drive" option on the top line and enter the total weight of your rig minus batteries, motors and ESCs - eCalc will then recalculate your total AUW as you change components.
