    Hello guys, I want to buy a drone that can fly more than 20 minutes on single battery while carrying around 0.5-1kg (1.1-2.2 pounds). And also is should have enough power to fly in wind. I have phantom 3 and wind is a problem. Any suggestions?

    If you think the P3 has a problem in wind it's unlikely ANY consumer quadcopter is going to do the job for you. You are going to have to look at larger or semi-custom/custom units.

    After I answered yesterday I had another thought!

    Some Inspires have been marked down to as low as $1500-$1600. They have the best wind capabilities of anything out there in the price range.

    I also assume they have payload capacity beyond the stock camera.
    In any case, you may want to look into it.

    Fly at the lowest possible altitude. Winds grow stronger the higher you fly. I just about lost my UAV by launching straight up. Only by lowering, was I able to fly it home...lesson learned.
