This is going to be the second build since I have been to this Wonderful Hobby.

Sole purpose is to have a Good looking quad in my hanger for display   :giggle:

Selected the most favorite F450 frame and planned to couple it with DJI motors itself.

Parts were on their long way across the seas for few days, and started reaching me one by one from last week. and everything arrived by past Wednesday.

the build is already completed and test flown..

@Ribz ,Watch this : www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=a392Pj6QUFg - this video is taken with a normal point and shoot camera tied down to the quad !

The frame kit unboxed - was too delighted to see those extra items that came as freebies - 2 Velcro straps, two pieces stick on Velcros and Extra screws ! Even there was a English manual - so just gave a Five star feedback for the seller . For the price I paid, I got dual the benefit .

Frame assembled - Again delighted to see the screws where well aligned :)




You may find this weird, but actually I was checking the balance of the frame (cg) :giggle:

I ordered the frame with Integrated power distribution hub . First I planned to solder on bullet connectors there to make my ESCs detachable, but later I avoided that and directly soldered the leads .

Motors attached to the arms . The propellers were normal 6mm hub - which was drilled to 8mm hub to suit DJI prop shaft and rebalanced.

i hate the camera resolution but love the stability, you must have had great pid values, is it v1 or lite?
what camera?
nice built :)

sooraj.palakkad

The camera is Fujifilm 14MP . Even though the camera had FHD movie recording, It will record only for few minutes on a 2GB SD card :( , hence had to selected lower resolution (640p) :banghead: .
The flight controller is NAZA LITE, and I tuned the gains :)
