Flight time test

I was curious what kind of flight times I might expect from the little 3DR quad, so I tried an experiment today. I used a little LiPo alarm (super useful!), and flew it with a combination of a pre-programmed route (a couple minutes) and just a little random flying around. I had the GoPro Hero3 BE slung underneath with a simple velcro mount (super jello!). Here's a video (compressed in time) showing the whole flight. 12:40 is pretty impressive. I want to figure out how far out over the ocean that translates in to! :-)

What version of the 3DR quad are you flying and what version is the software. I have an excel sheet with my durations flying the 3DR quad-D using a variety of batteries and payloads.
