“Just curious what the flight time experience has been like. Says 20 minutes with no payload; however, is the camera considered "payload"? Is it 20 minutes WITH the camera? Also, how close to 20 minutes is the "actual" flight time?”

Given that the camera is required to fly I wouldn't think that the camera is considered payload. I've never tried to fly with any payload mostly because I haven't needed to and it doesn't seem equipped to hold anything (you would have to use some ingenuity to attach something to it). I can speak as to how long it flies without any payload but obviously with the camera. And in my use, it's been between 18-19 minutes of flight time. The very first time I flew it, it landed itself due to low battery around the 18 minutes mark, even though on the handheld controller, the screen said there was 2 minutes of flight time left. I haven't flown it enough while taking video/stills to determine how much that drains the battery. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've noticed it to be between 15-18min
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Karma battery, according to the instructions, has an 18 minute life. With camera attached, Karma gives a battery warning at 16 minutes & will automatically land itself with around 17 minutes used which must be a built in safety feature. It would be prudent to purchase at least one if not 2 spares.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't know why you would fly without your camera. Actual time depends on your movements / how fast you're flying... Average flying, about 17 minutes.
