Hey my name is wes, I am very new to the quadcopter world. I received for Christmas a little Dromida…. Loved it but already lost it, so I want to build a quadcopter for fun. I have been reading a lot online and watching YouTube. This is what I am thinking:

DJI f450 airframe

Brushless motors- not sure what ones to get

ESC – I know 30A but not sure what ones are good to get

Naza flight controller with GPS

Carbon fiber props

Landing gear – eBay

Prop guards to start off with

DJI iOSD

Fatshark teleporter v3 kit

EBay gimbal for my gopro


I don’t know what controller to get I know I want to be able to control flight with it, and the gimbal. I would also like to get some led’s that can be turned on an off by the controller while in flight, also is there anything I can get that I can turn on and off in flight that will beep loudly in case I crash it (this will most definitely happen) into the forest that surrounds me….

I am mostly going to use this just to take photos of the forest and hills around where I live and take it with me when I travel…..


Thanks for the help

As for transmitter go for a 8 or more this will give you some spare channels ,
this is more personal taste really , I use a spektrum DX9

awesome thanks for the link.... whats the difference between the naza - m lite and the naza m v2? also is there anything i can use as an audible alarm on the aircraft its self.... strictly to make it easier to find when it crashes in the trees.....
