A450 Quadcopter Build - Officially Complete

[GoProDavidLe]

Hello all,

I have completed my first build. It has been a big learning experience and this forum has helped a lot. Thanks to HoltNeil for the assistance on steps of the build that I was unsure of.

Future Project:
I plan on adding a Gimbal and a GoPro to the quadcopter in the future. I believe the gimbal and GoPro will weigh out at 300 grams at most. Will my quadcopter be able to carry up to 1,675-1,700 grams total?

Thank you for looking,
