Looking good! Now you've got space for a gimbal.

Neat, this is the first F450 I've seen using a Naze32. Why did you choose the F450 frame rather than a smaller 250mm? What sort of flight times are you getting with those 2200mah batteries?

Do you plan to add a gimbal and use it for AP? If you're going small have a look at the QAV210 or the LS210.

Maybe a gimbal or maybe just a mobius cam for areal videos. I'll take a look at those frames. Thanks you. Now i have to finish this one, leds and legs are coming from banggod. Then i want to tune PID for a better flight. And now i have to change one arm :/ heavy landing

I wouldn't get a Mobius. Look at the Xiaomi Yi. It produces much better video and offers far more features. Have a look at my F450 build. I have an inexpensive 3-axis gimbal which is very decent for the price. Without a gimbal you won't get good video. It's a must.
