550 seems more stable, mainly when there is a breeze. Also has the added peace of mind that if a prop or motor goes it will still fly! Gimbals and gopro's are expensive!
I've just ordered some 3s lipos (a-spec nano's) to experiment with 10" props.
The lipos are 3s 4500mah, weight- 280grams! Gonna have two in parallel, should achieve 15 mins flight time with my 550 weighing in at 2.4kg (inc lipos).
At the min I run 4s 5000mah with graupner 9x5 and get 8mins (still 2.4kg)
Difference being 9000mah against 5000mah with the same total weight.
Anyway, I'm babbling!
