The drone was amazing and the hover ability was perfect but I could not connect my controller to a sim and spare pasty’s are very expensive
This was my first fpv
It's fast and fun
It's been 60 days now I've replaced the camera that i broke first day i lost drone second week. I've been up tree's in people's yard's on buildings and everything in between
but i can fly now. Its so much fun it gets your heart going so much fun. Love it
Thanks
It is really just a menace when it comes to FPV, it flies extremely smoothly, the only thing that i had trouble with was the camera, and they were glad to help me, and for some reason the replacement camera didnt work so they sent me a whole new drone for FREE!
Great customer service, i love Kathy and Antony.
Aside from all of that, this kit in total costed me around 405 USD which is a nailbiting price but I definitely got my moneys worth. I recommend BETAFPV exceeded my expectations for what a regular company would do especially in the fpv community, big props to them, and i'd love to get sponsored by them in the future.
Please note that the batteries it comes with arent the greatest; buy some lava 300's and zip tie them, way more fun as they have a higher Current value.
Again, Huge props to BETAFPV and their customer service for helping me on multiple occasions and especially to antony for helping me modify my cetus X.
I gave this product a 4/5 because whilst they have exceeded my expectations, they havent raised the bar all that much for what the FPV community should be doing.
BEWARE IF YOU BUY THIS KIT THAT THE INTERFERENCE IS SEVERE IF YOU FLY NEAR HOUSES WITH WIFI, THE SIGNAL GETS INTERRUPTED VERY EASILY AND THE RANGE IS 𝗡𝗢𝗧 AS GOOD AS THEY SAY IT IS.
Thank you for your co-operation and time, BetaFPV!
First fpv drone so using this one to learn. Fly whenever I get a chance. Had an issue with the camera and flight controller, but was sent replacement parts as it was still under warranty. For me it seems like a good drone to get started with and even for more experienced pilots it has enough power and ability to keep them entertained.
Super fun
