remove all unwanted lights,  remove landing skid, remove all stickers.. and replace a new battery half in capacity, and place it in to little front in order to maintain Center of Gavity.. removing caopy can make some flow disturbances in down wash, makes it erratic..

Reduce battery mAH and increase C Capacity.
Definitely weight will decrease.
Reduce excess cord lengths. Charger port cord length.
Remove Clothings. Make it barebone. ;D Simple.

Even for ESC & Receiver. But even after this you can save only a few 10s of gram, not more.

Even if you want more less weight, just try VLCC.
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

Let us be gentle... :)

Joker bhai... you seem to be attempting something that seems impossible on the face of it.  Helis that can lift a 400gm payload  does not seem to make sense on a single cell lipo.

Other than that, you need to figure out why you have a 400gm payload.  There are cameras available now which are much lighter.

In short, it seems like you have quite a bit of homework to be done before proceeding with this project !

yes swizera u r right i have the same one

Joker

the weight it needs to lift is abt 150-200 gm not 400 gm sorry for that but need help pls help me guyzzz............

@ joker
If you are thinking about reducing the weight , i dont think its a good move. The material or electronics used in that heli is all of most Important , you cant afford to remove anything out of that. Only You can remove the led which give it a fancy look, 4 led sets are there. but again very few grams u can loose. you can also remove the landing strud.( but then how will u land it ?  8-) )

lastly If you can add a 7.4 lipo with less amp (small one) it may produve enough power to carry your cam. BUT fist see if that inbuild circuit can Handle enough power from the battery , else you will BURN that.

Forget this, the lion batt that comes with is mounted upfront, any change will change the cg, scrap this idea, seriously

The only way you can be somewhat successfull is by installling the 30gms key chain camera available on HK or on Ebay without any modifications to the Heli. (As mentioned earlier ). You will not be able to change the direction of the camera while flying the heli so install it at an angle which will give you the most desired results.
