Cetus Pro Kit

Big update. This thing has been stuck in my tree submerged in my dogs water bowl and still runs great. Durable as they can get i have crashed it full speed into the ground and many objects. I have no mercy for my drones and this one has held up great. Only lost 1 prop. Just make sure to push them down before and after every crash or flight. Frame wil crack but it still flys perfectly fine. Still amazed how it was submurged in water and only a hour later works perfectly fine again. Dont get dirt in the motors but if you do spin the motors by hand and get it out. My first fpv drone and drone with this type of controler where the throttle and yaw stick stays at the bottom. My second day of ownership is was able to pull off rolls and flips in full acro manual mode on the fast speed. Flying in it is a different story, gonna take some more practice to master but in the fast speed on sport mode for a beginner like me this thing is a absolute blast. Also knowing what the drone is capable of keeps me excited and encouraged to keep learning and flying. Battery packs last 5 mins but as advertised can't be mad buy yourself a extra 4 and be on your way to up to 30 mins of flight time between 6 batterys. I've ordered mine. Great drone and great price for affordable fpv. I have never owned a real fpv drone and didn't want to waste my money on somthing I was gonna crash alot. This thing takes big hits trust me 😂

One of the best RTF kits available. It’s cheap and made to learn on. Super fun to fly!! Battery only lasts about 2 minutes but they’re cheap too.

Great for begining flyer. Good quality for the price point. Comes with everything needed to get started... drone, controller, goggles, 2 batteries and charger, spare parts and basic tools. Carrying case makes this a great package. Other reviews on here recommended getting extra batteries. Got an extra 4 pack and that was a good idea. Batteries only last a few minutes of flight time and take about 1/2 hour to charge. We will probably get a multiple battery charger eventually. Frame cracked within a week of use (and frequent crashing). It has a second crack now. Replacement frames are only $10 so ordered 2. Thought we had an issue with a motor spinning backwards but turns out we installed the wrong replacement propeller. Swapped it out and that solved the problem. Customer service had some language barrier, but otherwise was very responsive. Only complaint is cosmetic. The materials quickly became discolored at handling points.

Likes: * Crash tolerant * Not going to damage furniture or innocent bystanders * Not too loud - tolerable for close-up indoor use * Clean, crisp battery shape slides in and out of battery holder easily (as opposed to generic bag batts that get hung up on other drones' retainers * For somebody moving up from the $20 toys, controls seem more "Real World". It's no DJI Avata, but it does respond consistantly and predicatbly to the sticks. * Flashing red low-battery warning * Whatever they are using as a BMS will not let you trash a battery - as in letting it get below 3.5v when stopped flying. * The voltage readout on the little battery charger that comes with it is a nice touch. * If you are nearsighted and able to read without glasses, the image on the goggles will be clear - unlike high-end goggles where corrective lenses or diopter adjustment are needed. * The FPV display shows battery voltage. * The battery connectors, once the tendency to stick wears off with 10-15 connections/reconnections, are more convenient than the de-facto standard JSTs. Also, according to Joshua Bardwell, they are significantly more efficient. Dislikes: * Lack or orientation light for LOS use. Just a little white light on front or back would help. The brass ring would be red and green running lights port and starboard. * This user is unable to get either the Windows or Android config utility to work. Windows, maybe a driver issue compounded by lack of instructions. Android is telling me that the firmware and Android app version are mismatched - and telling me to upgrade to the version of the app that is already installed. * Lack of Trim adjustments on controller. * The quad copter tends to drift backwards a few feet after it is stopped. Let it go for a few seconds and it stabilizes... not where it was stopped, but a few feet back. * The goggles could use an external antenna. I have an el-cheapo receiver with a small antenna that plugs in to my phone and it's image holds up better than the goggles' when I am a couple rooms away in the upper level of my wooden split-level house.

These FPV kits are a plague to the FPV community. They deter you from the Hobby. You can arrange a much better tinywhoop and be ESLR ready for 300$. At first I bought the Emax Tinyhawk 3 RTF. It flew for a while and it was great. Then it broke, got sent back, and ordered this one. It is unbelievable that this RTF kit costs the same as the Tinyhawk 3’s. The controller feels plasticky and the gimbals are just awful. you get 25% of throttle and you’re floating down, but then push it to 26% and your drone is smashing into the ceiling. Don’t even get me started on the goggles. Those are truly a toy. The screen distance is non-adjustable either and the display seems worse in quality in comparison to Emax’s screen. The drone itself looks poor quality, toy like. The unadjustable camera is the absolute worst feature about this purchase. Even the way the motors sound feels like a toy. Also the drone is super wobbly, and it doesn’t matter how much control you have or what mode you’re on, it just moves wanky and rough, you can’t move “smoothly” on this drone. BTW did i mention that in the stabilizer mode, the drone’s inputs can’t even help it float because it tilts backwards, so when you push your stick forward, the drone doesn’t react on enough time. The Optical Stab is just a joke on this one. Also drops on altitude left and right and upon its own desire. Will be returning the items shortly unless they do a partial refund. This item IS NOT WORTH 250+shipping. NEVER.

Overall, a very good kit for anyone starting with FPV

Dommage, bon produit mais le chargeur a laché au bout d’une vingtaine d’utilisation.. maintenant faut chercher comment le faire passer en garantie.. MAJ : 10/07 : Après avoir contacté directement BETAFPV via mail, j’ai été pris en charge par leur support SAV. Apres avoir expliqué mon problème, ils ont immédiatement réglé le souci par l’envoi d’un nouveau chargeur, et a leur frais. Ils ne pouvaient pas aller plus vite pour traiter ma demande. Pour le moment je trouve leur réactivité impeccable! Je rajoute des étoiles!

When I got this kit I already had a Avata from DJI. Yes I had a 1200€ and bough this kit to be able to learn to fly manual. It was the best choice I've ever made. Super resistent I can not tell you how many times I crashed and this little beast still works like a charm! Thanks BetaFPV this was an amazing way to begin flying!

Drone nel complesso buono. Molto resistente agli urti, agile e scattante. Per uno alle prime armi e ottimo.. volo stabilizzato x imparare, angle x testare più velocità e angolazioni e infine acro, volo libero x FPV. Nota: non riuscivo più a flashare il firmware nella FC, il servizio assistenza mi ha risolto il problema e in nemmeno 24 ore e tornato a volare. Complimenti x il servizio!

I recently got the BetaFPV Cetus Pro, and I’m honestly impressed with how much fun it is to fly. It’s super beginner-friendly, which was perfect for me since I’m still getting the hang of FPV drones. The controls feel smooth, and I love how I can switch between different flight modes to match my skill level. It has taken a few crashes like a champ, and I’ve been able to fly it both indoors and outside without any issues. The goggles give a cool immersive vibe, and I’m stoked with how easy it was to get started. Plus, BetaFPV’s support team was awesome—super quick to answer my questions and help me sort out issues.
