CAUTION: Purchased Cetus X BNF version ELRS. Took a while to get in the air b/c I had to exchange a transmitter over Christmas. Flashed all firmwares (took time) then finally got out flying. On second day out was doing a simple roll and the FC locked out. Quad crashed. The super tiny snap connector the VTX plugs into broke off the board. Contacted BetaFPV expecting either warranty replacement or replacement part. BetaFPV did not warranty and stated “WE DO NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE, YOU MAY PURCHASE A NEW UNIT” (entire new quad). Contacted distributor RDQ and they stated there was no replacement parts. I would not recommend this product. Very negative experience. Working on video to show others.

I purchased mine from AliExpress, shop called BEYONDSKY and they were nothing but helpful. My camera lens fell off the sensor one day after 2 weeks of ownership, I contacted them and they sent me a brand new one free of charge in the post from china. To be honest I was expecting it to happen because I had read a review somewhere that their camera came off so when I saw it was missing I wasn’t surprised. Seems to be an issue as the camera is screwed into the canopy so if you repeatedly hit things it will transfer the shock to the camera lens. What I will say is they came take an absolute beating. Smashed mine multiple times into wall, ceiling and it’s fine. I even disarmed over a river, pulled it out and it was fine even the lipos still work (don’t recommend using damaged lipos)

It all depends on how you fly. Hovering in place, flying in Angle/Horizon mode & zipping the throttle in Acro mode, all use up the most battery. Flying at a medium speed in and out and through objects in acro uses the least battery.

In my last video from yesterday (Final episode of my very first FPV) at the very end of the video, you can see in a picture what I will do with the parts of the Cetus X soon. (2,0 inch Twiglet Mini 2S). I only had to change the camera and the VTX, because the camera and VTX from the Cetus X are not compatible with the BETAFPV Micro Canopy 2022 that I really want. It would also be possible to use all parts of the Cetux X with the Crux3 canopy, for example, but the VTX would be loose in the canopy or is more difficult to attach and would probably need an insulated foil so that the VTX does not touch other circuit boards... However the advantage with the Crux3 canopy would be that you would be independent of the BETAFPV ecosystem…

Here is your answer: Cetus designed for indoors mostly. Cetus Pro designed for indoors and some outdoors. Cetus X is a true FPV Whoop that is great indoors and outdoors, and the goggles record video.

@deanzaka Жыл бұрын

believe me, just go with Cetus X. Cetus Pro is a solid starter, it's trying to tackle what the original cetus can't: more power, fly outdoors. But, somehow ending up having flaws on both ends, indoors and outdoors. outdoors: yes, it's more powerful brushless, but it is still 1S battery. Morning fly is your best bet, can't really fly good even on just a little windy day. indoors: camera angle. That's the problem. It is just too high. If you are new to the fpv world, the drones fly in a forward angle, so the camera need to be angled too. The faster the drone fly, the more extreme the angle is. This is becoming a problem when flying indoor, because when you fly too fast, you hit things, but if you fly too slow, the camera will face up, you can't see a thing, and you hit things. Original cetus is actually better at indoor flying, since the motor is slower, so even with the extreme angle, it is still slow enough to fly indoors. The other crucial thing is range. The vtx power is capped at 25mW, and the goggles only use internal on board antenna, you'll lost visual really fast really short. Also, the goggles doesn't have dvr, so you can't record with it. Don't get me wrong, I love my cetus pro, I even ended up rigging it here and there and still using it occasianally for fun, or just let my friends try it out with no worries at all, since it sure can take a beating! all in all, It is good for starter, but you'll outgrow it way too fast. This cetus X seems to answer all my problems with cetus pro. Or if you don't mind some learning and youtube searching, combination of mobula 7 (drone), jumper t pro (tx), and eachine ev800d (goggles) will be my suggestion pick for tinywhoop starter. Bet you'll end up with similar budget with that.

Helo there, great drone ! How far did you get it on 200mW output ?

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Жыл бұрын

This drone has a tiny antenna and so do the goggles, so the power output is more for a clear image at close range vice far away.

Great video! May I ask what the differents are in the Cetus FC version and the Betaflight FC? Thanks in advance!

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Жыл бұрын

Cetus FC is all BetaFPV, so that they could add the altitude hold and optical flow. Those items don’t exist in the FPV hobby under Betaflight Configurator.

@@Shaun-hp2yzExcellent choice. You should have a blast learning the FPV pilot skills. If you find you crash indoors, then move yourself outdoors in an open area (park) and your hand/eye coordination will kick in.

Hello, after a bunch of crashes with this quad (and lots of fun) I had to replace the frame but now if i use any throttle above about 30% it falls out of the air and pitches forward then the motors stay at low rpm till i disarm it. I was wondering if you have any idea what that could be, any insight would be helpful.

Excellent video What I would like to add for those thinking of buying this and are new to the hobby is sadly betafpv has a poor reputation in the hobby. Quality control and customer service is almost none existent.
