Close-up of ESC, TBS Bulletproof with SimonK firmware
Bottom plate of the Discovery Pro with the NAZA light flight controller and all four ESCs soldered and wired up. The Naza should better be placed further to the front of the copter. Otherwise the GPS cable (not shown on the picture) will stick out too far into the battery compartment.

Nice built. I like the look of this quad and probably it will be my next project. I have to read a lot about this quad and what components I want to install on it.
Still asking myself: what’s the difference between TBS Discovery and Tarot IronMan 650? Both can handle a gimbal with GoPro on it. Not sure if TBS can fly 30min like Tarot does. Definitely TBS flies faster than Tarot. The gimbal on Tarot is installed underneath, so that means – easier to record using GoPro(you don’t have to rotate the whole quad like on TBS)
So… still the question: what’s the difference beside recording?
