Hello ,
I have just bought a H501SS and charged the battery until charger ( battery and charger that came in box ) , but im only getting 10min flight time? I did have GPS on and was recording video from quad but i was at least expecting to get closer to 20 min than half. Any suggestions?
thanks

Hello ,did the battery full charged ?may I know what volt shows on the LCD when you bind the drone to the transmitter successfully?
Besides,what's your flight speed?how fast did you fly?

To get near 20 minutes of flight time you need to fly slow and low and minimize amount of video shot.
On the H501A I average 11-12 minutes no matter which of my 3 new batteries I use.

That's not long mate , I flew today and got a 17 minute video and wasn't recording from take off to landing and I always land before it gets to 20% , I'm sure I average 16 to 20 minutes on all three of my batteries

Your right. I am landing with 30% battery normally. It does not bother me since I have 3 batteries and I don't try to fly more than 300-400 meters. Every time I do I lose WiFi connection with my H501A. I need to go out into the country where there are no Cell Towers or High tension line etc. I hate lost WiFi connection when using the HT011A and APP for FPV. I tried an HS001 with no success,
