15)quad led with pcb (3 watt each )
16)720tvl Cctv 2nd camera
 17) tbs light weight 4s to 6s esc

The Build :-


Well i started off with the tbs gimbal
Gimbal comes unassembled and with lots of options to chose the anti vibration balls according to the set up used
It would be difficult to get the gimbal together without  tbs's how to video

Once i finished with the gimbal
I mounted the motors and assembled the aerial mob extension arms (piece of cake)
The motor mounts come levelled unlike certain frames where u sit with a bubble leveller for i finite time to level out motors

Then mounted the arms on the bottom plate ( bottom plate flexes a little after elongated arms, was a little worried about breaking of the plate )

Mounted the naza m v2 controller on the dedicated space provided on the bottom plate
As their was lack of space i mounted the pmu module on top of the main controller

Had to modify the video tx out cable and  2nd cam's cable as the default cable didnt fit my  non tbs video tx and cam

Mounted the cam and video tx to the copter

Props ( comes balanced obviously they are t motor props ) attached them to the quick release t style prop adaptors

Tbs core put any lipo from 2s to 6s gives 5v or 12v out put for go pro charging,video tx and 2nd camera and that too noise free clean power

The top plate is a feature filled thing in its own
Integrated gimbal controller
Inbuilt connection for receiver to flight controller and gimbal control ans camera switcher plus few buttons to change setting and stuff fr the tbs core
Soo much in a centre plate
Took a while had to read the manual to understand  all the features

Mounted all extra stuff like telemetry led folding gps stand
Iosd mini
Bluetooth ect

The build is finally complete
Will be doing a maiden tomorrow morning and posting videos and photos later in the evening

Still learning new features of fr sky taranis  (lots of them )
This radio can do a lot of customisation from setting up various audio files according to requirements to  adding picture of exactly what you are flying


Wish me luck for my maiden guys 😀
