how minutes of flight per battery? is this same as version 1.12 that has the gps

Yes, flight time is about the same. You will not get longer flight times unless you buy the new DJI Vision. You can buy other brand longer lasting batteries but they will not fit inside the copter (velcro to the top).

Dan is pretty much correct in the time it takes to charge with the stock USB charger. But for the RUN time, it depends on how aggressively/conservatively it's flown. I tend to get between 5 and 8 minutes of flight time before the LEDs blink to warn of low battery voltage and the impending LVC. If you upgrade the transmitter to a spare X4 (version 2) transmitter (see my answer to the 2.4GHz interference and novice flying question), you'll have the ability to switch the LEDs off (and on again) to extend flight time even more (at the expense of being able to maintain orientation in all but the brightest of flight environments, since this vehicle is so small).

I have been getting around 11-12 mins flight time. The battery size is limited by the size of the battery compartment. I don't think a larger battery will fit without modifying the hull.

The battery is a 1S LiPo battery (1 cell) and is quite powerful. The Quad flies for about 6-8 min on a single charge with the front and back lights off (5-7 with them on). Flight times vary by flying style. The blue light on the bottom draws only a few micro amps so it should not affect flight times. However you should always unplug the battery when the quad is not in use since depleting the LiPo over time may permanently damage it.

5-7 minutes. I recommend picking up a few extra batteries. Remember to put the velcro on the new batteries to keep the battery in place during flight.Each battery takes about 45 minutes to charge.

Yes it is.. very easy to fly.. will fly 300 to 400 away from you.. will fly around 12 minutes on a charge but you can buy aftermarket batteries that will last 20 minutes. It practically Flys itself as I use a ipad and my phone to fly it...

I get around 8 minutes of flying time with the standard batteries. Life shortens with dramatic maneuvers - rapid altitude, extreme banking and reversing, etc. Larger amp batteries are available, but I don't have any experience with them.

It depends on the airline and stewardess.i use it fairly often , but one air Canada flight ( newest plane) made me take out the battery.

As I remember the flight time was about 4 to 5 minutes. Charging was about 45 minutes depending how depleted the battery was. Instructions said to remove the battery before charging. This what destroyed my copter. The power wires broke on the circuit board while removing the battery. It lasted about 5 removals and reinstall action of the battery. In other words be careful.

I just received my red one todayI gotTwo5 minute flight times.It's absolutely one of the best I have bought.Sorry my first response didn't come out the way I said it.I hope the second response helps you!

Here is a link to the FAA publication regarding the use of battery-powered devices on commercial flights: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf. As you can see, there is absolutely NO prohibition to the lithium battery (CR123) that the MiniMate GT ships with. As many of our MiniMate GT owners have switched over to a rechargeable battery system, we wanted to point out that the FAA article also permits the use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Of course, individual airlines may establish their own, more prohibitive policies if they wish. We have been selling this product for approximately 3 years and have encountered only 2-3 reports of individual airline prohibitions--all of which have been on United Airline flights. We are confident that this product meets the FAA Standards based on US DOT regulations (49 CFR, Sec. 175.10). Thank you very much for your Feedback.

The GPS is not the G1000 although some modern Airliners, 747 and others, have the MFDs. You can download for free the G1000 from Sim sites like FlightSim, AVsim, or Simviation. There are 2 different GPS versions, a G249 looks like a Handheld, and the G500, depending on the aircraft you select..

I bought this GPS in 2008... Pretty old to receive a question just now. But fortunately I have this specs.. It consumes about 500mA and measure 55mm X 40mm X 20mm. Has an internal battery that works for about 4 or 5 hours and update at 1Hz only, so it's slowest than a modern cell phone built in GPS. Additionally it doesn't work through USB, only Bluetooth and charges in about an hour and a half.

I get about ten minutes of flight time. I bought four extra flight batteries and keep everything charged.

The battery will last about 8-10 minutes depending on payload and wind conditions. I flew it far enough that i lost sight of it. Some have said that with a on board camera and viewing system, you could go up to 1/2 mile away.

I've been able to get 15 minutes or so out of it out of town. It depends on if you're having to make any adjustments to the flight controls pitch y'all roll to stabilize the flight. I usually let it charge 30 to 45 minutes between flights.One of the best things I did was contact the manufacturer and get a price list of extra parts and ordered a spare battery so that I could continue flying while one is charging.
