5.0 out of 5 stars SOOOOOO much fun!
An unbelievable amount of fun! I would not consider this a kids toy, it take a lot of practice, and the controls are very sensitive (as they should be). But it IS great for (adult) beginners.It's worth noting that I could never get the "Normal" mode to work. Sport and Manual mode worked great though. When I tried Normal mode the drone shot straight up into the air at top speed and hit our ceiling. Haha, glad I wasn't outside or that thing would have been gone!Another great thing about this drone is that it is SUPER durable. Mine has already smashed into our high ceiling, dropped from the second floor onto the hardwood floor of the first floor, run into walls, flipped upside down, several very hard landings, etc.. Thing still looks as good as new and runs great.Only ONE fairly significant issue: the battery life. Flight time is only about 3min per battery. And you only get 2 batteries. Recharging the batteries takes about 20min-ish. So do yourself a favor and buy the pack of 4 betafpv 450mAh BT2.0 batteries and also the betafpv charger with 30W power supply that can charge 6 of the 1S 450mAh batteries simultaneously. That way you have more flight. Moreover, the better you get at flying the longer you can fly on each battery because your flying will be smoother and less "punchy" with less high-current events happening, which makes the batteries last a lot longer if you're just cruising around gently - you could get up to 4-5min with nice consistent smooth flight.
4.0 out of 5 stars I personally like it
I love flying the little thing in Manual mode. The signal is meh, but good for learning overall. That said it's impossible to fly in S mode and the auto correct mode straight up doesn't work for me. It just crashes immediately. I only wanted to practice manual mode so I'm okay with that. And it's cheap.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Beginners FPV Drone Kit with Room to Grow!!
I bought the BETA FPV Cetus Pro kit as my entry into FPV drone flying. I’ve flown toy rc helicopters as a kid, but never a drone. The idea of flying first person sounded awesome.This kit was perfect for learning as it has a mode that keeps you more stable. Then once I got the hang of flying with just the controller, I used the goggles and it quickly became the easiest way to fly. It was definitely a challenge to learn all the controls and I crashed a LOT. Thankfully this thing can take a hit. Or 30 hits! And still kept on working with only a few scuffs in the plastic.Then I got good enough to fly the sport mode and found it much harder at first, but now I can’t go back to normal because sport gives me so much more control. Also I found that the medium motor speed actually gave me more fine control in sport mode than slow motor speed.I haven’t attempted manual much yet but am looking forward to figuring out how to do flips and rolls. Still need a lot of practice.I love this thing and even upgraded the camera to a beta fov CO3 camera for $22. I highly recommend the upgrade as the field of view was way better and easier to fly because if it. Also the clarity when flying outside with overcast skies is game changing.I would highly recommend this set to anyone looking to get into FPV drone flying.
3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the $20 toys, seems tb adequate learning vehicle.
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.
1.0 out of 5 stars Will not work upon arrival and zero support
The goggles arrived defective and will not power on. I contacted BetaFPV and after hours back and forth and having to send video to them to prove the goggles defective they said return to Bolo. Bolo will only return the entire kit and batteries, so I am going with a different brand. It was able to fly without the goggles and honestly seemed it would be a good drone, just too bad they couldn't just replace the goggles, or better yet have some sort of quality control in place in the first place.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and quality fpv drone
Very good drone for the price like the 3 modes where you can start as a beginner then move up once you get more advanced good starter fpv drone.
A great kit for begginers!
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!
Richtig cool und easy to fly
Erstes Hands On der Betafpv Cetus Pro.Alles vorhanden und in praktischer Tasche verpackt. Gut finde ich den umlaufenden Rotorschutz, da leichte Kollisionen dann nicht immer in einer Reparatur enden.Die UAV fliegt in den Modi N und S Autostabil. Der Modus M hat keine Stabilisierung, bietet dafür aber die Möglichkeit von Loopings und Flips in alle Richtungen. Mein Sohn (11) hatte die Drohne sofort unter Kontrolle und bereits nach 4 Tagen in den M geschaltet. Nun, am Tag 7 macht er Himmelsakrobatik.Um den Spass auf viele Stunden zu verlängern, habe ich vier weitere Akkus (550mAh) bestellt. Da diese etwa 8mm länger sind als die 450mAh musste ich die Anschlaglasche entfernen (Cuttermesser). Sonst kann man den Stecker nicht stecken. Die Flugdynamik oder der Schwerpunkt haben sich dadurch augenscheinlich nicht verändert. Außerdem habe ich ein zweites Ladegerät bestellt. Mit dann zwei Ladegeräten und zwei Powerbanks ist die Ladezeit etwa gleich mit der Flugzeit, so ist fliegen den ganzen Tag möglich. Das Ladegerät ist übrigens auch Gut gelungen. Laut Angabe soll es zweimal 2 A liefern. Außerdem kann es die Spannung anzeigen.Natürlich gab es einige Abstürze auf die Wiese, die die Drohne schadfrei überstanden hat. Das Gras dämpft den Aufprall hinreichend. Heute haben wir einen Gehäusebruch festgestellt, der vermutlich nach einem echt harten Aufprall geschah. Kein Fehler der Drohne, sondern ein klassischer Missuse.Das Gehäuse habe ich heute bestellt. Offenbar soll der Austauch problemfrei sein.Das Kamerabild (Analog) wird auf der Goggle angezeigt. Bei Dämmerung ist das Bild etwas dunkel, Insbesondere beim Blick in Richtung Sonnenuntergang. Der Boden erscheint dann nur noch schwarz.Von uns gibt es eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung.Für Einsteiger ideal.
Chageur pas fiable
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!
A great kit for starting pilots
Overall, a very good kit for anyone starting with FPV
Awesome starter drone
This was the perfect drone to buy to consider getting into FPV. Got me hooked. Flies well and camera is decent enough to start out. It has taken an absolute beating and still works. Hundreds of crashes. I even crashed it into water and it is still going. Called it Chuck Norris. One downside is you can't record anything from the goggles so I would recommend buying the one with video output because you will likely want that feature. Buy at least 4 extra batteries.
