53 Not familiar with shopping in India, but maybe think twice about buying from a store named "Rob U".
The frame you selected has 12x12 motor mounting holes, might want to check the motors you selected have compatible mounting holes or you may need to drill out your frame. Those ReadytoSky motors I believe are old and budget models?
For the radio link, you may want to consider an ELRS radio that is running EdgeTX, it will allow more flexibility to customize it and provide a more modern/reliable control link.
Not sure you will find a good quality stabilizing gimbal that is small and light enough to fit on a 5" setup. If that is an important feature then maybe consider a DJI Mini instead.

19 The motors are rated 2-3S, you have listed a 4S battery.

19 Also your listed one is CCW, counter clock wise rotation, you will need a pair of CCW and a pair of CW (clockwise)

19 The frame listed is one made for the DJI O3 unit, and your listed camera is a smaller bare board unit. to use that (for FPV) you'll need to fashion or buy a mount to fit the frame

19 How much weight will you be adding with gimbal and camera? That frame is a lightweight unit designed for long range cruising flight, and while your motors listed would likely be OK for that use, probably not with the extra weight it's be lugging around.
Lets start elsewhere, what do you want to DO with your quad? Range, stability, speed, etc............

41 I'd buy your stuff from Aliexpress. A shop called Robu screams scam. Also none of the components will really work for what you want. You want a drone that transmits to a mobile phone, then buy something DJI or something cheap from ebay. The parts you listed will build an FPV drone (that will barely fly and fly like crap), but it won't have a gimbal, it won't fly anything like a DJI, it will be fast and hard to control if you don't have the experience.
For gimbal drones, buy something that is RTF and if you want it to last, then invest in what you buy.

97 I would suggest that you do NOT get the FlySky transmitter and receiver.
Consider going with ELRS, get a decent transmitter and receiver.
Also, using a phone as the display is less than optimal and has its own
challenges. Maybe consider a standard set of goggles.

41 The fact they want a gimbal system says it's an attempt to do a commercial rig on the cheap, so probably business related. Given the cost of a used Mini 2 or 3 I wouldn't bother building.

53 A brand new Mini 2 SE package is $299 from DJI, so if you have a compatible phone that is your total cost. I think that will beat any budget build when you add on radio/goggles/tools cost. And for certain it will give a much nicer gimbal stabilized image than a FPV setup (if that is what you are looking for) plus nearly 30 min flight time out of the box. It is O2 transmission, so only 720p/30 live video feed, but will record in 4k and advertised range is 10km. Too bad it doesn't have acro mode...
