Thanks for the advice man, appreciate it! May have to start testing the limits of how big capacity 6S i can go for best flight times, maybe 3000mah?

My ideia was to try with a 2200mah, but haven´t got the time and money to get a bigger battery

I'm rocking the GEPRC M4 7" so i have plenty of room for bigger cells.
i have Tattu 1800 6S at the moment but feel like i don't get decent flight time, although it still isn't tuned properly and havebt tried a distance cruise, just laps and sharp turns..

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
