Nice to see.
Small tip (maybe you do, I did not see), open the props before starting the motors.
It gives less stress on the arms.

That's a myth

Not from what I have seen.
The arms really shake much more when the props are unfolded on startup.
It wont harm the first time, but it will put extra stress on them.

I had to search a little, but here is the video.

Agree.  It is hard on drone.
I made mistake of not unfolding props once, because I was not planning on starting props.
Got side tracked with a problem, and at some point started props.   Without a doubt it shook drone.

Updated - If you watch Mavic Pro and Spark with folded props, their cameras and gimbals get shook pretty hard.  Especially the Spark's.

Yes.
Now it should be able to take some stress, but in the end it will wear.
