RotorBits 580mm Hexcopter. DT750's, Afro 30a ESCs, Turnigy UBEC, Pixhawk+Telemetry, 11x4.7 props, Hero HD, RMRC Pico 1.3gHz vTx, 5000mAh Turnigy Nano Tech 3S 35c battery. Pulls about 25amps TOTAL in OGE hover (50% throttle), and that lasts me 9-10 minutes, using 4000mAH and results in a rest voltage of 11.1 (with GoPro and FPV). AUW: 2.32kg. My only change to this setup would be more reliable motors (DT750's are finiky critters) and smaller ESC's. I really don't think 30amp ESC's are needed when I don't even pull 60amps total at WOT in Stabilize mode. I'll probably get some pancakes and swap most of this over to a Tarot 680, swing some bigger blades, bump up to 4S, and try to get a 4:3 camera on a 3-axis to pull down 15 minute flights on a parallel battery setup. Fun stuff!
