This design prevents the propellers showing up from the FPV camera. The frame is 326 grams. However the pilot warned that this should be not flied with any other flight controller.

Hello everyone!

I`m an engineering student from Spain and for my Thesis I have chosen to do a quadcopter with a camera that track a certain object. I am going to Germany to do a Masters in Mechatronics and would like to build a quadcopter so I can add extra features for my Masters Thesis.
I´m quite new in this world so if anyone could give me some advice, tutorial webs, .. it would be of a great help.
Can anyone tell me if the parts I have chosen will function together correctly?

I have found on internet a DJI kit that includes (169euros):

Chassis DJI F450.
4 Brushless Outrunner motor DJI 2212 – 920rpm/V
4 BEC DJI OPTO de 30A.
4 props 8×4,5″
4 props 10×4,5″

I would buy the next components separate:

– Ardupilot
– Camera (not yet decided on which one to buy)
– Raspberry Pi for real time video for tracking the object
– Battery Lipo 3s 4200mah.
– ESC Brushless EMAX ESC-30A.
– Battery charger IMAX B6PRO (11-18V DC).
– Radio FLYSKY FS-TH9X-B 2.4G 9CH MODO 2, Radio 2.4Ghz. de 9 channels.

¿Did I miss anything out?

Thank you.
