Best Batteries for long flight times

[Rossoroth]

Hi Guys,

looking at getting a dji F550 and i want to know which battery will get me the longest flight time.
I am planning on getting a gopro and mount it on a larger set of legs and gimbal.
Is it worth spending the money on something like Optipowers or thunder powers or is there another better priced equally as good Battery.

Cheers

You get what you pay for and yes there are cheaper batteries out there but believe me there not as equally as good. You pay your money and make your choice an no doubt there will be lots of comments following mine. For me ThunderPower !

I can't see that the brand will make much of a difference in times if they are the same size.

My voltz batteries last the same time as my turnigy. They may last more charges and have more power. But the flight times are the same.

found these bad boys, maybe a little heavy for the F550 but should give plenty of flight time
