Three has been enough for me so far. I very rarely would want to fly more than an hour in a single location and three batteries will get me through that easily. I have flown multiple locations in a single day but I have a multi charger and just plug all of them in at once and when they are fully charged I go to the next location.
Even as a new pilot, three works just great for me. I think since I have the car charger and the multi battery charger, that’s enough for me. Haven’t been flying enough in one location to need more than three.
i have 5 batteries. There has been several days that i have used them all. Just trying
to get that perfect shot. Some days i might shoot 1.5 hrs of video and only 5 t0 10
minutes or less of video is usable in my opinion.
