This article is a comprehensive guide to designing and tuning larger Tricopters and Quadcopters for aerial video.
It is an accumulation of the knowledge I have learned about flying multi-rotors, gathered through my own experience and from others on the internet.
If you have tips or advice that are not included in this video, please share them via a comment below so that we can all learn a bit more about multi-rotor flight.
Further information on multi-rotor reliability and safety:
Vibration free camera mount:
Safe use of 2.4ghz with FPV video:
Information on using and tuning the KK2 control board:
I'm really needing this kind of information, because I'm starting with multi-rotors.
Thank you and Congrats

Which makes me think you do not get better efficency at higher voltage, you just seem to get lower amps due to higher volts.

I can't image that the increase in voltage and thus less resistance would make up the 4.3 g/W difference or 28.8W (@ 11.1v) vs 37W (@14.8v) for the same amount of thrust.
So based on the chart I have for my T-Motors (MT4008 600KV).. I don't see how the math works for better efficency at higher voltage and this isn't unique to this motor.
I would love to bump up my battery pack to higher voltage as faster spining blades would be less wind prone compared to the 14" ones I am running.. just seems like I would loose efficency based on the efficency data for the same thrust amounts.

So I just don't get the comment that higher voltage is more efficent when I have looked at quite a few motors and all seem to have a lower g/W at higher voltage.
