11x8 or 11x7, also should I use a slowflyer prop and apc thin electric?

Please help...

For the speed your prop is going to turn, you'll get a lot more thrust, more efficiently, by using the APC SF prop - APC E props only come into their own at very high rpm. Carrying the camera gear, you need thrust more than you need flight speed, so you are also probably better off with the 11x7 rather than the 11x8.
