(AERIAL VIDEO PRODUCTIONS)
For heavy lifting, on the low budget.
What is the best way to upgrade this?
Specs:
apm 2.5 control board
APC 10 inch props
DJI 550 frame
3drobotics 850kv motors
rctimer 30a esc Simon K flashed
batteries 2200mah 3s 30-45c
gimbal attached to hexacopter with a few servos for 360 pan and limited tilt.
(created a continuous rotation on one servo for pan)
Trying to build to carry a gopro with gimbal first then later a DSLR doing the same stable video recording for video production.
PICTURES INCLUDED.
recommendations? Once gimbal was built and it was fine, DIY onto the board with a few servos works fine but lift wasn't powerful enough. Next upgrade? was thinking of getting 13 or 15 inch propellers similar build to the S800. RcTimer has the RCT 800 arms that can be upgraded to this build, but then the motor and props would be my biggest question, on which to buy for size and smoothness from RCtimer?
I'm open to all ideas/thoughts.
Can potentially help others who were wondering about upgrading rather than buying a completely new multicopter.

not knowing the pitch on the props, I would say to go up on pitch or size and pitch. try 11x4.7 or 12x4.7 . you might want to try to clean up things and shave some weight from parts too.
"not lifting too heavy" ? What do you mean?
