Hi, I'm building my first Quad and I wanted to ask for some second opinions and ideas for improvements regarding the component choices I made. As I said, i don't have any experience in building drones. I have checked the components, but it is still possible that I made a mistake and that they don't match.
The Quad should be able to carry a gopro hero 8 and I would run it on a 6s battery. If my calculations are correct the quad should weigh about 320-340 grams without the battery, props, antennas and the GoPro.

Components:
Frame: Iflight Cidora SL 5 V2.1
Motors: Iflight Xing-E Pro 2007 1800kv
ESC: Iflight SucceX 60A V2 BLHeli_32 4-in-1 2-6s
FC: Matek FC F722-HD
Camera and VTX: Fatshark Sharkbyte
Receiver: TBS Crossfire Nano RX

I would run it with 5 inch props.

I would also like to have a GPS, any suggestions?

If i have missed any component or anything doesn't seem right I would appreciate a suggestion for an improvement.

Thanks in advance for any responses:)
 
Looks like great gear.

Add in an independently powered beeper.
I lflight sells a pretty good GPS unit as well as a 3d printed GPS/Crossfire antenna mount that attaches to the back standoffs.
Umagrip battery pad
Double straps
 
You can do some fun things like controllable leds. Patterns and colour options on a dial. Maybe show battery level if you are doing some LOS flying.
