I am planning to build a quad mainly for cruising around and do some aerial photography. Here is so far what I have planned:

1. Frame: Tarot Iron Man 650 or Tarot 650 Sport:

The sport is costly at about 8-9k, while I can get the Ironman for less than 6k. The sport has a retractable landing gear, which is available for 2k extra if bought separately, bringing the cost of both almost same. But if I go with Ironman, I'll have one extra stock landing gear, which I plan to use for my S500. Still undecided between the two.

2. Motors:
Planning to use bigger props 1555 size to try and reach 20 min flight duration. Hence chose RaceStar 380KV, 4 of which cost 4.5k. Another option is Tarot 380KV which are a little costly at 1.5k each. I'll decide based on my final cost.

3. ESC
Racerstar RS30A . Cost 2k for 4 escs.

4. FC
I'll probably go for APM 2.8 with GPS and telemetery. Pixhawk is an option, but it will cost more.

5. Gimbal
There is a HAKRC Storm32 3-axis gimble, which is around 3.5 k. It has got good reviews on Youtube. Banggood is selling 3-axis one at 5k.

6. Camera:
Xiaomi Yi with video out for FPV. Not worried about latency, since I don't see myself flying around like crazy.

7. Lipo:
4s 6000-8000mah

My total budget is roughly 30-35k.

Suggestions?

Go for it

Hi, replying to a 2 year old thread.!
A lot has changed in the drone world.
Anyway, for the future readers,  Don't use an APM. (outdated)
Go for a KAKUTE F7 AIO, supported by ARDUPILOT.
