hi all,
i am interested in quadcopter, i just get into quadcopter for at least 1 month, this few day i feel like build one quad to carry a camera and shoot video and pic,
so i need getting advice how to choose and build a good one

question1:
what kind of motor should i should, higher KV or lower KV if i wan to carry gimbal and camera, i saw a lot of people using 980kv or 720kv to carry camera and for bigger quad, and those 2xxxKV usually for qav 250 smaller quad, is that higher the KV the faster the quad and lower KV is for more stablization?

question 2:
what frame should i use? i now thinking should i get a F450 or S500, any others better option?

question 3:
what flight controller should i use?i know there are few kind of FC out there, but which one should i use? for camera should i get a FC that has GPS? or just QQ super or KK pro will do? or i need go for AMP and MWC? kind of confuse about these FC @@

question 4:
is it possible to build one stable and good quad that can carry at least a gopro that around RM1000? exclude a controller and FPV set

i am appreciate for your reply

thank you
kenneth

Dji phantom is too expensive for me, that's why I planning to build cheaper drone
APM need do a lot of configuration is it?
How about naza m lite? Come with GPS as well, is that usefull?
How about the motor and frame? What kind of motor should o use for steady shoot? Lower KV?

personally i dont like the f450 frame .. too much flex
otherwise all else looks ok
whatever camera u put on it is yr preference ...
if u dont wanna headache .. thats the plug and play thing most would go for la
assuming budget no issues la...
check the battery price 1st ... u will prolly need more than 1 battery la of coz ..
*
then what frame are you recommend?

something else la ... hahaha
lots of frames out there ...
best u get something that uses aluminium minimum for arms ... carbon or glass fibre would be better coz slightly lighter
check THIS place out ....
lots of multicopter stuff at reasonable prices

motors ... go for sunnysky 2212 980kv ...
esc ... 30a and at least 4S capable
props .. 10 x 4.5 or 10 x 5 inch ... good quality ones of coz ...
flight controller .. naza lite would be OK for plug and play (minimal settings required)
if u want something more capable and not expensive ... APM ...
both these flight controllers i listed more for videography purposes ...
if u just wanna whack it around for fun .. naze32 acro ..
*
how about s500 for the frame?
i thinking getting jiyi p2 for FC, do you know about jiyi p2? cause naza m lite is too expensive for me

sound like it gonna cost alot
i still not very sure how to choose a correct motor, now i onli know lower KV can carry more load, higher KV more speed
if APM cost about 400, i think i will go for naza m lite
i thinking should i build a big quad to take video, or i buy phantom to take video and photo since some people might be using phantom to earn money

or i just go build a mini quad and go for speed
kind of confuse now, dont know what should i get and my budget is limited T__T
do you know any one using phantom and help people shoot video or photo? how much they charge?

well, it is a known fact around here that "once you've start flying, you cant stop."  doh.gif

start with what ever that suites your budget 1st, you'll most like end up going the other path too.....it's just too compelling.  rclxub.gif

IMO .. rcx motors generally have better QC and quality as mentioned earlier
i oso mentioned i use naze32 on all my copters
radiolink AT9 is an unknown brand/make/quality .. u are better off just buying 9X from hobbyking or local hobby shop ... they are about the same price as the AT9 which u prolly got off MRC classifieds .. LOL
no idea .. i oso waiting for some stuff coming in from overseas ordered after 1st april
*
Okay thank you, I think I will go for the rcx qav 250,
You bought from hobbyking before? How fast the shipping?
