New PixHawk Build

[erwabo]

Okay...SOOO, Im planning on building a PixHawk based quad and I guess my desire would be the following requirements:

1. 450 or bigger (I like the TBS discovery size, just not quite THAT much soldering if I don't have to)
2. Would like FPV with gimbal and head tracking
3. Ability to record video
4. GPS, Altitude, airspeed telemetry data for mapping
5. RTH, HOLD etc (which I believe APM 2.6 does just fine)
6. OSD (probably immersion minim OSD. I really like the Vector, but it cant be combined with other flight controllers)


This will be a general purpose drone mostly for aerial, way points, learning, etc. I am getting the Fat Shark Attitude V3 FPV because they seems pretty cost effective and feature rich. I also run FrSky gear

So basically, I would like to know exactly what I need to buy to attain this in a cost effective but quality manner. Ive seen so much information out there, its a bit overwhelming trying to narrow this all down to reliable components and/or good kits. So...any suggestions from those who have done this, have a good part list, sample builds would be great.

I'd like good quality and a strong video feed, im new to the video tx market and what works well and keeps all of this compatible.

Thanks

I use a TBS knockoff as my dedicated Airbears search and rescue platform and LOVE IT!!

$35 for the frame kit, it comes with LEDs http://www.banggood.com/Diatone-Whi...adcopter-Frame-Kit-p-970933.html?rmmds=search

here is a basic build for this frame with motor and esc info:

Here is the flight controller I am saving up for to replace my NAZA MV2. With the latest Dragonlink equipped with telem, I don't need radios for data. (vid overlay plus full IFR can be done with a tablet/laptop):
