So with this being my first drone ever and not knowing anything this was a steep learning curve. Below is what I was able to get. Everything fits with little modifications. I like to break down what you need for Hardware into three catigories Flight, Video,and Charge.
Flight:
Flight Controler stack:
Mamba F722S and F50 esc
https://www.diatone.us/collections/mamba-stack/products/mamba-f722s-flight-controller-stack
Had to move the flight controller mounts towards the rear of the body 5mm to make it clear the LED tabs on the FC. I think if you were to use the F4 it would clear as it doesn't have the led tabs on the corners, But I wanted the better F7 controller.
Sonar:
US-100
https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Ultrasonic-Module-Distance-Arduino/dp/B07W1GDPRN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=us100&qid=1598724991&sr=8-2
Sonar holes are to wide. Had to Narrow the holes to fit sonar.
GPS:
BN-880
https://www.amazon.com/DIYmalls-Receiver-Raspberry-Aircraft-Betaflight/dp/B086ZKFFY4/
Fits great.
Transmitter and Reciever: This is were i went big and got a nice transmitter as it will be the base of other drones i use
Tarranis X9D 2019 SE (will need to purchase battery separate)
https://www.amazon.com/FrSky-Taranis-2019-Fibra-carbono/dp/B07VYRGB5Q
Receiver
https://www.amazon.com/FrSky-Receiver-Range-Micro-Drone/dp/B01N5INCBH
fits next to the gps.
Motors:
EMAX RS2205-2600KV
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CL6Q0RM
Plenty of lift and mounting hole are perfect.
Propellers:
iFlight Nazgul 5140
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W5Q5ZKK
tried other propellers and this motor propeller combo works really well for control since this is my first drone
Video:
Camera:
RunCam Hybrid
https://shop.runcam.com/runcam-hybrid/
with this you get the FPV camera and HD Camera with DVR.you will need to get an SD car for it to save the video(128gb max).
I used DemonRC Dojo camera mount to give the camera a little protection on the bottom.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4556146
VTX:
Wolfwhoop Q4 5.8GHz VTX
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076P37X84
Mount in front of base. Have to drill hole in top cover for antanna.
Monitor:
FPV Monitor LCD5802S 5.8G
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084ZL4J29
Printed a mount to connect to my X9D 2018 SE transmitter. not sure where i got it but added the stl file to this post.
Charge:
Battery
OVONIC 3S 11.1V 2200mAh 25C
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DGSVNP5
Fix perfectly (Biggest size i could get with the normal top cover. not sure on the large or huge top covers)
Charger:
ICQUANZX LiPo Battery Charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XG17VMG
This one comes with all the adapters i needed to change the battery, monitor battery, and transmitter battery.
To get all the software setup for the flight controller and the transmitter, I found a YouTuber (Joshua Bardwell) that is amazing at explaing everything. I watched his playlist FPV Drone Budge Build and the BetaFlight 4.2.

That's some nice kit! Any chance you could post pics of your mounting and wiring?

So here are a few pictures. On the DVR i added tape to protect it just incase it was to moves around but the double sided form tape on the back holds it in place really well. Also i forgot to say in the last post Mamba makes an L shaped adapter to make it so you can plug in your Flight contorller with out having to remove everything. you can see it in the battery picture. Here is a link for it.

Very cool! What modifications did you have to make to fit the Mamba stack? Next we need some video of it in action!
And seriously thanks for the link to that channel.

so in the picture of the flight controller. The Flight controller is moved towards the rear. so away from the VTX by 5 mm. So it would clear the bolts to attach the middle to the bottom.

So how's it fly?!?! Did you leave the FC and ESC in a stack? I'm shocked you had any room for a battery. Did you install the sonar?
