Here are alot of you guys which have a tons of experiences with this flying machines.

So I will build my own and already have quite completed idea what I want.

As far As I read 4 channels are enough for quadrocopter so 2 channels I will use for camera which will move left right and up and down and I think to buy this remote controll

and I am looking to use this frame

thinking of using camera like this

Also like to build GPS system to use with quadrocopter to use that or remote controll above.
To build in FailSafe module
and battery for something about 20min to 30 minutes of flying.

Now problem is how to calculate which motors to use to fly that weight and which battery to use to power all that.
and at the end how to connect all those modules

thank you for advice and helping...
 
You may want to up your game on the transmitter. Did you look at the so called manual?

It doesn't even mention if it has a few model memory slots, which gives you the ability to buy extra receivers and set up unique settings for multiple builds.

There are only 2 switches. Basically ON or OFF, what kind of control is that? You need a couple pots. And then there is matter of setting your Flight modes in the flight controller, usually 3 (which is why it's nice to have a 3 way switch) , but you can get by with 2.

Get this one and you'll be set.

Now question is what motors I can use and what batterys?

"and battery for something about 20min to 30 minutes of flying."

Do you want 20-30 minutes of continuous flight, or would it be fine to have 15 + 15 minutes of flight, and just swap the batteries out on the ground?
If so some 980KV motors and 10'' props would be fine, add a 5200mAh multistar battery and your pretty well set.

Here again are some nice motors.
Here are some nice motors.

Notice that the camera won't provide very good quality, that may be fine for you.



Here is a cheap battery charger that will work, but does not offer fast charge (though trickle/balance will be very easy on your batteies and help them to last long)
Here is a nice battery charger, it will do about anything you want it to do.
 
Thank you for reply. I have benn watched those 980Kv motors, but don't know if that is powerfull enough to lift camera, battery and itself?
So if i put on it some 7000mAh battery than this motors soure aren't enough?
what you think?

If you go to 7000mAh and lifting a camera/gimbal you'd be better with 12"-14'' props, but this will put up you into a price range (from 130mm-500mm is the general price range that most people get) a little higher, is that fine with you?

Can you give me an example pelase?
I can't imagine now what you are saying.
Thank you for helping, because I am new in this and haven't any experiences.

P.S. How much those motors can lift is there any calculation?
So I can see what total weight is top limit?
 
Thank you, this helps alot, I have calculated all, but still have no clue which controller to use and which camera.
And how it is important the size of blades?
 
Have a look here for my build items on a 450 sized quadcopter, and instructions.
Flys really well and fairly tough. Currently using the turnigy 9x transmitter for my multiple copters.
