@maclak when is your 3000's supposed to be there?

 

[sprtbkrydr]

There's 3 on HobbyKing for $30 US +/- a couple dollars. I might go for the Accucell since it looks a little more compact than the two provided by Turnigy

10C is fine for the Mavic. What we all use here and no problems yet.

Cheers. I was thinking of buying:

2x Turnigy nano-tech 1300mah 3S 25~50C Lipo Pack for medium range

and

2x Multistar LiHV High Capacity 3000mAh 3S 10C Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack for long range.

All ok?

Presume 2x 1500 mah is better vs 1x 3000mah on the top for CoG and GPS performance etc? Is there also a benefit of 2 vs 1 for length of flight?

2x Multistar LiHV High Capacity 3000mAh 3S 10C Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack for long range.

Thinking the same, just need to somehow figure out how to add a modified NIR camera underneath now.

OK guys I don't know what to say I got almost 52 minutes with this TITAN 7Ah battery here are the pictures to prove it The battery was barely warm when I landed at 10% Plus I did about 25 minutes of flying and 25 minutes of hovering

 

[djhoodrich]

I think I could have squeeze more time but I'm happy with 50 minutes I don't need to be in the air no longer than that

That's pretty impressive. Did you check voltage of the Titan pack on a meter once done? What about idle voltage of the DJI pack with no Titan connected?

I don't have a tester Plus the battery charger iPhone does not have a display

I don't have a tester

Got an Airdata link to see the flight details?

Edit: Also your charger doesn't have a meter mode?

this what I got

I would recommend a better charger. One that can show individual cell voltages, live charge rate, etc. This one may do the job but it's very basic and provides absolutely no information about the charge or the condition of the battery. It's nice to measure voltage and also measure how much mAh are put back into a battery after any given discharge.

50 minutes? That's amazing! That maybe the longest flight time ever out of a Mavic.

I think DJ18650mAh aka (@djhoodrich) might have just dropped the mic.

Well dang man, 50mins is amazing. I bet there was still some left in there. If ya hadnt posted screenshots I’d honestly call bs ... but dang it’s right there. Wow!

Who told him to go away? Eating crow now! lol.

Maybe this DJ has figured something out?

If I remember the 18650's are what's inside of the battery packs for the Titan?

WOW! That's incredible. Much better than I expected for that pack. My distance record won't be around much longer with those numbers.

Would love to see the airdata to look at voltage levels this is super impressive. I’ve hit 50mins twice on my p3 before but had to rock huge sets of batteries to get that.

How do I get air data where do I get that from

What's even cooler is he's been promoting this since day one. He stayed and didn't get swayed by all the naysayers!

Better yet is his bird is still under warranty because he used the clip method!

Bravo.

My rotor RPM stayed between 695 to 720 most of the flight
