Hello everybody, I am new to flying hobby and I am willing to build a Quadcopter just for hobby and aerial photography. I am confused between two frames F450 and S500 for quadcopter.
So kindly help me to choose the best frame from above two frames. Thanks in advance.

If you need a quad for Ariel photography then i would suggest a s500 quad or if you can afford a hexcopter for more reliability.
A S500 frame supports bigger motors which mean bigger props as well.

Thank you Mr Balakrishnan for your kind reply and support but please can u suggest me which one will give me more speed if I will use 980kv motor with 1045 prop on F450 frame or a 1000kv motor with 11" prop on S500 frame. Thanks in advance

I see very less difference in 980kv and 1000kv. But if size is constant lets say 2216 then a 980kv with 11inch is better than 1000kv 10inch because you get better thrust. However you need to have a look at manufacturer specifications of motors.
You can then choose motors depending on how much thrust you need and then try to choose a specification which can give you maximum g/w ratio.
Example your quad AUW is 2kg and so u may need total 4kg thrust. Then choose a combination which suits requirement with higher efficiency. Try choosing a lower kv motor tp reduce jello effect as at higher speeds jello is more because you are looking for aerial photography.

Thank you Mr. Balakrishna now I will look for a less kv motor on s500 frame
