I get a very consistent 8 minutes to the second warning, on a stock battery. (I have seven of them and they are all within 10-15 seconds of each other.)
I don't really know. I fly pretty conservatively, so that could be a factor. Props are well balanced. Otherwise, nothing special.yalag said:Any ideas why you get 8 minutes...Is it because of the way you fly? Or certain components you used?
Here's how my durations changed as I upgraded -
Naked Phantom - about 14 minutes
add GoPro in waterproof case - about 9.5 minutes
add FPV transmitter - little or no change
add Zenmuse - 8 minutes

I haven't changed the values; they are at the defaults.MrMediaGuy said:what values do you have your 1st and 2nd level voltage warnings set in NAZA assistant
Haven't timed that. I'll try to watch it when I fly next time, and report back.MrMediaGuy said:At what time do you get your first warning LED?

None of the above. I soldered the power leads for the transmitter directly to the main power input terminals on the upgrade board. The Immersion transmitter accepts 6-25 volts for power, so the main connection is perfect.Rigger609 said:How do you have your FPV power set up?
Plug to the battery, or plug to the aux cable?
