Thanks Guys! You are always guiding me so thanks in advance.
I only added 2 additional Things:
Carbon fiber plate to mount VTX and EZOSD GPS module and a XT60 extension to get the current sensor reach the battery and yes a couple of soldered cables but only 2.
I will weight my phantom, definitely a good idea, just wanted to make sure this is the norm and I am not draining the batteries due to a bad connection or something out of the regular
My batteries have not flown for about 2 weeks and I just flew them, can that also affect my flight times?
Yes...from what I've seen they drain about 1% every few days.....
Always check your battery voltage with a voltage checker, before flight. You might also want to check after flight too, to get an idea of the amount remaining when the 1st level warning comes on.
You're not going to get 10 minutes, ever, with FPV, Gimbal, Go Pro, and an OSD. The best I've gotten, at 1270 grams, and a MadDog 2800mah battery is around 9 minutes, before 1st level warning-I land then.
Also-a lot depends on how you fly. If you're moving forward, slowly-you will notice your throttle position is below 50%. If you avoid abrupt maneuvers this can increase your flight time as well.
OH, and the blade guards, will cost you almost 1 minute of flight time-so if you have those, leave them in the box.
As far as adding Vision props-there's some posts about that here;
