That's how my F450 quad is setup at the moment. I'm planning on replacing my current FC (APM2.6) with the Pixhawk flight controller. What's your flight time at the moment? Thanks.
I'm still doing short tuning flights still of 2 - 3 minutes. I did six flights yesterday with the same pack. I expect 20 minutes or more with a weight of 1400 Grams.

My first drone was a Blade 350QX, I used it mainly for FPV. One thing, you have to realize though, this hobby is expensive. A good drone will cost more than $300 dollars easily, in addition, all the necessary FPV gear will also cost money. So all these setup could easily add up to $600 and or even thousands.
My 1st drone cost me $450 dollars, it was a BNF kit, that required a radio transmitter to fly it. The radio itself was around $350 dollars, then the FPV gear cost me around $500 dollars. (All this in Australian dollars).
As you can see, its not cheap. But if you shop around you can find a good deal. Hobbyking sells really cheap stuff, so it might be a good place for you, if you are tight on budget.
As for the F450 frame, I am currently using it on my drone, that I've built. Its very robust and has good space for putting electronics. But you will need to buy all the electronics and set it all up yourself.
If you're going to be building a drone, I would recommend the FrSky Teranis Radio. Any real FPV flyer will recommend so.. The radio is not that expensive and will cost a lot less than the most popular brands. Spektrum or Futaba and its open source by the way...
For the FPV gear, I would recommend the ImmersionRC or Lumenier brands respectively. I've used them in the past and have nothing to complain about.
I have just checked their website and the hoverdrone360 looks quite a decent drone to be honest.
Are they American or Chinese made?
Thanks for letting me know, I might buy one in the near future.
Thanks i'll search that one up. Might be another possibility
