10" Long Range / Cinelifter
Here you'll find links to the best performing products for 10" drones based on my testing over on AOS Labs and my own experience and research. Some of these links are affiliate links (affiliate policy).
Motors
BrotherHobby Avenger 3120 Motor
3120 size motors are perfect for high power 10" builds swinging triblade props with a long chord length for maximum thrust. 500KV is suitable for 12S and 700KV for 8S battery voltage.
Brotherhobby Tornado T5 Pro 3115
This 3115 motor strikes a very useful compromise allowing you to swing a lighter 10" prop on 6S voltage. This allows you to use a less expensive 6S stack. Better suited for lighter weight 10" Long Range/Freestyle drones. Heavy lifters are usually better served with an 8S power train.
GEPRC EM3115 Motor
A less expensive 3115 option from GEPRC. Best suited to 10" props on 6S battery voltage. A good choice for lighter long range 10" builds.
RCinPower GTS V3 3215
A top quality 10" Motor from RCinPower. High temperature enamel on the windings allows these motors to run hotter without failing. 920KV is perfect for 6S battery voltage. 1200KV is suitable for high speed 8S builds on 7x11 props.
XNOVA Cinelifter Line - 3220
An expensive but exceptionally high quality motor for 10" props. 700KV is spot on for 8S while 490KV is best for 12S battery voltage.
DroneFPVRacer (EU) - 700KV
DroneFPVRacer (EU) - 490KV
Electronics Stack
Matek H7A3-SLIM Flight Controller
Matek's top of the line H7 Flight controller. 8 motor outputs on plugs, 128MB blackbox storage and up to 8S input voltage. Supports voltage measurement up to 69V (16S) and works with Betaflight, iNav or Ardupilot. A CAN expansion board allows GPS, Airspeed, Current sensor and receivers to be connected over CAN rather than UART. 9V/2A BEC might be a little tight for a powerful VTX so you may want a separate voltage regulator for that.
BrainFPV Radix 2 H7 Flight Controller - Analog
One of very few flight controllers that natively supports up to 8S input voltage and is designed for use with up to 12S batteries (with external voltage regulator) the Radix 2 H7 Analog is ideal for larger analog drones and supports X8 motors. It uses the BMI270 gyro (probably the most reliable IMU available today) and has two switchable camera inputs, a custom graphical OSD chip, as well as support for I2C and CAN sensors. Made in the USA, NDAA compliant.
T-Motor F7 PRO Flight Controller w/ WiFi + Bluetooth
A solid 8S capable flight controller that can direcly plug into the Cine55A 8in1 ESC for an X8 solution. Supports Wifi and Bluetooth connection to Speedybee app for firmware flashing, configuration, and blackbox analysis. Very useful for tuning large drones in the field where the USB port is not easily accessible. 10V/2A BEC to provide power for a VTX that's not 8S compatible.
Lumenier ELITE PRO 100A V2 6-12S BLHeli_32 4-in-1 ESC
A 12S Rated 4in1 ESC with a 100A rating is quite an accomplishment. This component greatly simplifies building large and heavily loaded lifters as before this you would have been looking at 4x $100+ individual ESCs and a PDB. Suitable for 10"+ drones with 3220+ size motors. Provides a 16V/2A output to power all the stuff on your drone that can't handle 12S (which is probably everything!).
T-Motor Cine80A 8S
A reliable 8S capable 4in1 ESC for 10-13" drones. For heavier Lifters the 80A continuous rating will allow you to cruise for long periods at high power without worrying about the ESC overheating. I've personally tested this on an 8kg 10" X4 Lifter with 3220 motors without any issues.
BrainFPV Radix 2 H7 Flight Controller - HD
One of very few flight controllers that natively supports up to 8S input voltage and is designed for use with up to 12S batteries (with external voltage regulator) the Radix 2 H7 HD is ideal for larger digital drones and supports X8 motors. It uses the BMI270 gyro (probably the most reliable IMU available today) and has an SD card for logging/debug as well as support for I2C and CAN sensors. Made in the USA, NDAA compliant.
VTX
Foxeer 5.8G Reaper Infinity 5W 40CH 5.8Ghz VTx
5W of output power for the maximum possible range on 5.8GHz. Foxeer also do a 10W version (only available direct from Foxeer). It supports up to 8S input voltage and has a 5V output for the camera. It's not legal to output more than 1W from a drone in the USA so bear that in mind.
iFlight Blitz 1.6W VTX
1.6W of output power in a compact package makes this analog VTX suitable for 5"+ drones. At maximum output you can get excellent range with a quality omnidirectional antenna on the drone and high gain antennas on goggles/ground station
Blitz Whoop 5.8G 2.5W Analog VTX
Don't let the name fool you this VTX is not for whoops! With a maximum output power of 2.5W this VTX will give you solid analog video out to extreme range when paired with a quality omni antenna on the drone and high gain receiving antennas on goggles or a ground station. The integrated fan helps prevent the VTX overheating before takeoff.
Avatar GT VTX
The Avatar GT VTX delivers a ridiculous 2W of EIRP output power across 2 antennas. This is the most powerful Avatar VTX to date and is perfect if you're looking to fly long range or need a VTX with the power to punch through obstructions to give you clear video.
HDZero Freestyle V2 VTX
True 1W output power for the HDZero system just got better. The smaller 30x30x14 mm form factor and 20mm M2 mounting pattern make this VTX perfect for 3" - 5" Freestyle drones and pilots who want the lowest possible latency of any FPV system available today. De-cased the VTX can be used on Lightweight 3" builds.
DJI O3
The DJI O3 system pushes digital FPV in a new direction. Here the focus is onboard recording and image quality at the expense of latency. It is a great looking system, some pilots are reporting issues with vibration sensitivity of the IMU used for electronic image stabilisation, hopefully this will be resolved in a future firmware update.
Receiver
ES900 DUAL RX ELRS Diversity Receiver
If you're flying Long Range alone or with only a couple of others 900MHz ELRS provides the ultimate in range and penetration. This true diversity (not just antenna diversity) receiver from Happymodel gives you two antennas and two opportunities to receive each packet sent from the radio. Two opportunities means half the chance the quad falls out of the sky!
RadioMaster RP4TD ELRS 2.4G True Diversity Receiver
Radiomaster is a reliable manufacturer of ELRS equipment and this true diversity 2.4GHz receiver (not just 2 antennas but two full receivers working together) is a great choice when you're looking for a very strong and reliable link over medium to long range.
Happymodel ExpressLRS ES900RX Receiver
If you're flying Long Range alone or with only a couple of others 900MHz ELRS provides the ultimate in range and penetration. I would recommend 2.4 GHz for everything except extreme long range as the antennas are smaller and it copes much better with multiple users in close proximity.
MATEKSYS ExpressLRS 2.4GHz Receiver - ELRS R24 TD
I've made my mind up. I'm only recommending ELRS moving forward. At this point it does everything better than any other radio link. LoRa for range and penetration, yes. 1000Hz update rate for crazy low latency, yes. Loads of manufacturers are making receivers for ELRS and I think this diversity offering from Matek (antenna diversity only) is certainly among the best performing and most reliable.
Props
LR10x5x3 Glass Fiber Nylon
With a narrower chord than the HQ MacroQuads the LR 10x5x3 is better suited for lighter 10" long range quads or lightweight 10" lifters. The moderate pitch is well suited to cruising.
Macroquad 10x5.5x3 Glass Fiber Nylon
A wide chord and a steep pitch pitch prop for heavier 10" Lifters. Suited for cruising at higher speeds. This prop provides relatively poor efficiency (and therefore shorter flight times) in a hover and slow forward flight but a higher top speed and better efficiency at high speed than lower pitch options.
HQProp MacroQuad 10x4.5x3 Glass Fiber Nylon
A wide chord but a low pitch pitch prop for heavier 10" Lifters. Provides great efficiency and long flight time in a hover and slow cruising but thrust will drop off quickly as you fly faster which will limit top speed.
Gemfan 1050-3 Glass Fiber Nylon
With a narrower chord than the HQ MacroQuads the GF 1050-3 is better suited for lighter 10" long range quads or lightweight 10" lifters. The moderate pitch is well suited to cruising.
HQProp MacroQuad 10x5x3 Glass Fiber Nylon
A wide chord and relatively steep pitch prop for heavier 10" Lifters. Provides a good balance of speed and efficiency in a hover.
