    There are plenty of mutli-rotors that can lift 1KG that are available for less than $3K

    I just finished building a Foxtech FPV Kraken.  It can easily lift 5KG.  Had it flying for 22 minutes on two 10,000ma 6S batteries with a pixhawk.  After adding gimbal and other electronics, it was more than $3K, but for just the airframe and flight controller, you can squeak by at about $3k for one of those.  (Gimbal and Battery aren't included in the $3K)

      Cybercrash, I like the idea of building a good quad with gimbal, FPV, and GPS/autopilot features, but in adding up the cost of all the components for a DIY rig, they come out to almost the same, if not more, than a Walkera X350 Pro.  Am I off base, or can you really achieve cost savings with a DIY approach?

      Thanks much!

          Thanks for the info.  I like the SK450; as a kit it is semi-DIY.  As for GPS/autopilot, I'm most interested in waypoint programming and flying.  Would that be an addition to the SK450 you pointed to, or would waypoint feature be a substitute for some components in the SK450 kit?  Thanks again!

    Can you get more specific on your payload weight? 1-5kg is a really large weight envelope for a multirotor. You should be thinking of a payload in terms of grams.

    Go get whatever you want to carry, weigh it, and report the grams here, maybe someone can help you.

    If you keep posting 1-5kg, I doubt you'll get much interest. Even if you do post the same message a dozen times.

    Oh, and do you understand this is *diy* drones?
