i need help picking parts for a quadcopter and i have to admit i know very little

the goal is to be able to lift a go pro camera and maybe a light load and I want it to last 60 mins in flight and i want it to transmit live video so i need a transmitter and receiver

i also want the flight controller to have features like self level, altitude hold and return to where it took off 

im pretty much decided on the frame and esc but not sure about the battery its probably better to go with a 3s and larger props as a gopro isnt too heavy. 

 

also how do you calculate the thrust (grams)

60 mins is pretty ambitious just get a few batteries switch them out also i would suggest getting a kit for a first time builder

If you want 60 mins of light good luck.. I use to race RC 1/8 buggys at a decent level and the max battery time would be around 8 minutes. For quads you might be able to get 15 minutes. You could always extend it by adding batterys in parallel but, even then that add weight..

My dad makes tricopters and even with massive batteries his maximum flight times are around 15-25 minutes (These are with frames made out of carbon fibre and such to be made as light as possible)... 60 minutes is not exactly feasible yet.

Lets do some basic battery in rc knowledge here. Im guessing you will want to be running atleast a 4 cell lipo battery with around 5000mah, with 4 motors running at atleast 50% just for lift off you will get 15 minute battery max. Not including GPS, gimble for the camera, you also mentioned video feed, the processing power for that will be masive also, and you will definetly want to have some extra power for an emergancy landing.

also do you have experience when it comes to flying quadcopters because if not buy a good quadcopter. diy quadcopters are significantly harder to fly than prebuilt quadcopter

try not to blow your student loans on quadcopter parts, or a macbook for that matter...

i updated the part list how do you calculate thrust? and does this have enough
