wow, your videos with storm 32 gimbal are spectacular, I have bought the same GLB gimbal and added it to my quad but it is very heavy and could'nt lift at all. I think the motors you mentioned and the motors in the pic are not same and also can you share what Battery you used, Flight time and what is the total weight of your quad with gimbal and camera
How about that! I had forgotten to add my battery. It's not the greatest, so I don't necessarily recommend it. I only get about 8-9 minutes flight time running both the quad and the gimbal. I'm not sure about the total weight but I know the gimbal and camera are around 280g. What sort of rig are you flying?

Weight of my whole setup (motors + ESC + frame + propellers+ APM 2.6 + NEO 6M GPS with foldable stand + 433Mhz Telemetry + futaba10J RX + battery + GLB storm 32bit gimbal + camera + landing gear+ Monitor Alarm) is about 1680 grams and it was not able to take off and
Without Gimbal and camera ie., about 1390 grams I get about 15 minutes flight time.
Nope, those aren't SunnySky's. Those are the original motors that came on my CX-20 before the transformation. I didn't want to list them because I plan to upgrade to SunnySky's next.
It's a matter of cost. 720kv's would cost a great deal more plus I'd have to upgrade my ESCs and buy 4S batteries. I'm on a pretty tight budget with this rig.
Dear WhiffleX, I changed my battery from 430 grams 5000mah to 200 grams 2700mah, now my quad is able to take off but it is leaning front while taking off, I think I need to adjust the center of gravity. How did you manage the center of gravity problem?

You should post those as a build here. Got all the links?
Ok then i will Post, and are you sure the motors in your pic are sunny sky 980kv ?
Nope, those aren't SunnySky's. Those are the original motors that came on my CX-20 before the transformation. I didn't want to list them because I plan to upgrade to SunnySky's next.
Can you suggest problems in my spec that is inhibiting my quad to take off
What is happening when you try to take off? Why not ask on your build page. I think it would be a better place to discuss it.
Why that high kv.I think this would be stabilier and more effecient 720kv sunnysky motors and 11x5.5 carbon props.Though you will want 4S
It's a matter of cost. 720kv's would cost a great deal more plus I'd have to upgrade my ESCs and buy 4S batteries. I'm on a pretty tight budget with this rig.
Gotcha!

I still need to fine tune my center of gravity. I usually just take off quickly to avoid tipping.
