Hello all,
I am planning to construct a quadcopter which should lift at most 2Kg. Because I will be using it for Aerial Mapping applications. During my calculations, I had gone through two constraints. 1. Should be available in India. 2. Price (My budget 60K including controllers, sensors). So, I could not buy 500Kv brushless outrunner even after knowing its high payload capacity. Finally, I end up in 910 Kv motor. This is my Quadcopter configuration.
Turnigy H.A.L. (Heavy Aerial Lift) Quadcopter Frame 585mm
Turnigy D3536/9 910KV Brushless Outrunner Motor
Slowfly Propeller 12x4.5 Red (CW/CCW)
4S 5000mah 25C-35C LiPo
Plush 30A ESC combo

Will this configuration be able to lift 2Kg?. Please give your suggestions .

Thanks Everyone.

Welcome to RCI.
According to me 60K is very good budget for a quadcopter you could rather build a hexacopter. I think you have to go for better motors if you want to use it for photography because they must have less motor vibrations. A motor with low RPM has less vibrations compared to higher ones.
These motors however cannot take up that heavy payload.
If you want to put a payload of 2kg then the total thrust of motors all together must be atleast 4~5kg and also in order to have good manoeuvrability.
More specifically total quad weight + payload must be 1-1.5kg less than total thrust.
