Hello!

I'd like to use the S100 for holding up banners, however, I'm worried the flight time of 15 mins is extremely low. Is there a way I could make it longer, ideally 30 mins?

If I need to invest more in the drone, in order to increase its flight time, it'd be fine.

Thanks!  

I dont know of anyone getting 30 mins out of a 1000. I got 22 mins without the camera and gimbal once but thats about my record.

Thanks for your response Dennis!

I need my drone to carry banners. Do you know of any other drone that has a good payload but also plus 20 minutes flight time?

I dont...but I've heard of a battery pack for the 1000. Guys have claimed 20-25 mins with camera and gimbal...If you're pulling banners you wouldnt have as much weight but you would have drag. You can check this site out and do some Google searches...personally I use 3 different types, Exotic, Tatuu and Troy Built Models has one. They all seem to have about the same flight time, give or take a minute or two.. http://www.maxamps.com/proddetai ... 2000-222-S1000-Pack

Hey Dennis!

Sorry for my late response.

I am very new to the drone industry but you've opened me to thinking about battery replacements in order to fly longer with a kinda heavy payload. When you say Exotic, Tatuu and Troy; does this mean modified drones or batteries, I googled each but only found Troy, tatuu and exotic were impossible to find without more keywords than drone. Anyways, please continue to help me with this payload issue of mine. All I need is a strong drone that can fly a decent amount of time with a considerable payload. For example, 2500 grams or more and at least 30 mins. I've seen a company called DroneCast, they modified a drone in order to fly 60 minutes with banners and other promotional objects.
