Well... That all depends on the pilot, haha. On the 5 inch quads that run 6S batteries, I get 3-5 minutes max. The smaller guy is a 3 inch that runs 4S batteries, I can get about 8 minutes out of one if I am just cruising. 5-6 minutes if I am going hard.

My DJI FPV will do about 20 minutes in normal 'camera drone' mode, about 15 minutes in sport mode, and about 6-8 minutes max in manual mode going full speed.

That is a very big difference. I had no idea it could vary that much 😳
Can you get bigger batteries for each model?

Nah, that's about it for those. If I went bigger, I would have to get different motors, and most likely a new flight controller module that can handle more power. Trust me, when you are flying as hard and me and my friends do, that time frame is enough, lol, you will want a break for a few minutes. We aren't doing any scenic, low and slow kind of flying, lol. And when you are doing it FPV style with goggles, it feels like you are in the cockpit of a jet doing moves a fighter pilot couldn't do, lol.
