Hi there guys
So, I'm building my first quad with some help but i would like other opinions specially from experienced people.

So, by now, I already bought:
Frame : Diatone Q450 v3 from Bangood
Motors: Multistar Elite 2216 920KV
Props: Multistar Propeller With DJI Fitting 10x4.5
9443 Self-Tightening
(I bought these two to experiment)

And I'm thinking about buying:

Turnigy Multistar 20 Amp Multi-rotor Brushless ESC 2-4S (dont know if it would be enough because the motors are around 18A)

And the most difficult choice would be the flight controller: Naza M V2 or the Tarot XYZ M...

This drone is to film essentially and to take photos, so the stabilization and GPS lock would be really important..

I already have the Xiaomi Yi 4k and for the gimbal i''m thinking about the Tarot T-2D V2

Can you help me and give some advice to a newbie.. ?

Ps: i don't have that much money to invest on this... around 500 euros total, be nice :D

I'm just starting out with FPV on Frankendrone(S500) and I got everything I needed above for about $30US. Using the 4.3in lcd screen that came with my first quad a JJRC V686g. I use it solely for orientation so the small screen is not a problem. When my bird gets so far out that I can't tell the orientation and/or can't remember what I just did(comes with old age), I can just do a quick look-see on my screen to tell what I'm aiming at.

I would think that yes, the 30a ESCs would have been a better choice. I started out with 1045 plastic, upgraded to 1045CF then 1047CF and right I'm running 1147 CF/Nylon composite. And I just got a batch of 1245 CF/Nylon composites to try next. I've only done one flight with the 1147s but a noticeable difference in smoothness and control and also lift. I haven't seen any real difference in flight time or temp increase in my motors. Also, the plastic props deflect so they don't hold their rated pitch. Oh, my FPV system is seperate from my vid recording camera. And a word of caution.............don't do a Wifi system. It's the same bandwidth as your controller system and can in some cases cause interference.
