This is my first 5" build, it's been a couple of days and it still is flying lol.
As you can see in one of the pictures, the capacitor is under the battery lead. Don't do that, it makes it harder to plug in the battery.
Unlike me, you should make your wiring longer, i had to put the receiver on top of the board. and i double sided taped the vtx under the top plate.
Make sure to add one of the Uarts to have Smart Audio on. i put mine on Uart 3, but i dont think it matters, and right now i only use the default betaflight tunes.
I used a session mount that wasnt meant for a freestyle frame, but it worked, but i put the one that was meant for a freestyle frame.
My soldering could be better, but it works, these are pictures after flying.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Take your battery lead and stick it out the side, straight up, and zip tie it to the standoff just behind the stack. It'll stay out of the way of the props and still be accessible without having to get longer wire. This is my preferred method of routing battery leads.
