Hey, thanks for this, it helps me alot. My first issue is my screws are too short that come with the motors..lol. I also can't find the link for the PDF for ESC wire orientation?
Basically you need to match the wire orientation between the FC and the ESC. The wire plugs into the ESC and that plug is what shows the orientation. In the video I talk about how you will have to compare the plug layout to each end on the FC and ESC. What I do is just match them from the FC end. So I leave the ESC end alone and typically rewire the FC end.. So if ESC PWM1 is say the grey wire, I find where on the plug on the FC it expects PWM1 and I take the wire out of PWM1 on the FC end of the plug and move the grey wire to that spot. If you not familiar with removing the wires from this connector it's very easy, there is a tiny white tab looking thing on the side where you can see the metal pins, just use a razor or xacto knife and just lift it up a little and pull it out, that will leave the metal end on the wire and then you just slide it back in whatever slot it goes in. The black ground wire should already be good and you should only have to reorder the PWM signal wires.
Oh ok, I have exactly the same parts as you except my receiver is a flysky so what you did should match but I will double check. I did see that part but didn't fully understand...;)
I finally received my F4 in the mail and now I realize I need 4 more stand offs! Can you link me the video for the camera pins as I dont quite get that part?

Thanks... Glad it has helped. I added the link to the wiring guide for the ESC in the description.
Jason Graham the PDF doesn't show wire orientation or it doesn't matter?

Can you tell me what bataflight 3.1.7 is because I'm on 3.1
