Moved this to it's own thread. I will have to watch this later on when I get home. Getting a little low on bandwidth on my phone.

put the belt back and then reverse the gyro thats what my 450 did and the gyro was the problem

The belt can only be set in one direction. Tail blades should be turning counter clockwise looking at them, leading edge of blades turning up into the down wash from the main blades. Its your gyro is reversed from the first video thats the issue. Flick the switch on the gyro. Then check that when you move the tail by hand, the tail blades move in such a way as to counter act the direction you are moving it. This can be hard to understand sometimes. As a beginner i made that mistake on a number of occasions.

Just like lee said..

Check .. if your tail blades are spinning counter clockwise with the leading edge going into the rotor wash

second check that your yaw direction is good... yaw stick right.. slider left, and vice versa..

Third check the gyro direction.. push the tail right.. slider should move in the opposite direction.. that means the gyro is correcting in the right direction,

fourth, if you have a lot of wag still.. then, reduce the gain in increments of 5. always be in HH (heading hold) mode when flying (thats the position you programmed with the higher gyro percentage.. can be 0 or 1.. Tony in his video sets it to 0.. so if following his video, follow that.. and confirm your switch is at 0.. )
