Tons of ExpressLRS items are available now!
Bullet Point
-
Meteor65 is the first generation whoop drone powered by a brand-new BT2.0 1S battery. The BT2.0 connector effectively decreases internal connector resistance for a much better discharge performance compared with the initial PH2.0 connector.
-
By using the latest 0802SE 19500KV motors and 31mm 3-blade props, this kit provides you with a completely different experience of a powerful indoor flight.
- Built-in 1.45g ultralight weight and upgraded C03 FPV camera. This new camera has optimal performance for indoor whoop drones.
- Adopt with injection molding technique, this canopy is 1.60g ultralight weight and is more durable, anti-ruin, and heat-resistant, providing good protection for the whoop drone.
- Reserve two UART ports on F4 1S 5A FC (SPI Frsky) board. The Frsky version also can be used as the PNP version. Therefore, pilots can connect the external receiver to it.
- F4 1S 5A FC (Serial ELRS 2.4G) is flexible in upgrading and has great potential. It supports being upgraded to ELRS V3.0 separately without flashing Betaflight flight controller firmware.
- The various colors of the spare parts including the 65mm frame, micro canopy, and propellers offer pilots more choices. Using them with BETAFPV waterslide decals, pilots can easily DIY and build their unique whoop drones.

BETAFPV Meteor Series
Let's see what's new in Meteor65 2022 version. It comes with a new micro canopy, which reduces the influence of heat on electronics. Supports serial ExpressLRS 2.4G instead of SPI ERLS 2.4G. And the new C03 FPV Camera ensures a high-quality and clear image.

BETAFPV upgraded all Meteor Series quadcopters like Meteor65, Meteor65 Pro, Meteor 75, and Meteor85 whoop quadcopters, through the new flight controller, motors, camera, frame, canopy, etc, to provide the best whoop quadcopters for pilots.
BT2.0 Connector
BETAFPV exclusive designed BT2.0 connector has broken through the bottle-neck of PH2.0 connector. BT2.0 connector has decreased internal resistance of connector effectively allowing more current to be transferred, which means it supports 9A continuous current (15A burst). This means stronger power and longer flight time on 1S brushless drones while PH2.0 just supports 4.5A. You can enjoy more flight time without disturb of low voltage warning due to reducing voltage sag. For more instruction, click here.
See the graph below of comparing the BT2.0 connector and PH2.0 connector (solid pin version) in BETAFPV 1S 300mAh battery. The discharge current is 9A in this test. The BT2.0 has double the time (about 2 minutes) and a 0.2v improvement in voltage sag.
Flight Controller & ESC
The latest F4 1S 5A flight controllers are applied to all BNF versions of Meteor65. It features Serial ELRS 2.4G instead of SPI ELRS 2.4G for ELRS version compared to the previous version. The Frsky version reserves two UART ports for the available external receiver so it can be used as PNP and can be switched to Futaba SFHSS protocol through Betaflight configurator. The ESC on the new board powered by BB51 hardware in place of BB21 comes with Bluejay 96k ESC firmware, allowing 0802SE 19500KV motors to give full play to the efficiency of power. We update the gyro to BOSH BMI270 for better performance and stability since the new F4 1S 5A FC.

Note: For F4 1S 5A FC (serial ELRS 2.4G), ONLY Betaflight firmware 4.3.0 and up start to support BMI270 gyro. For F4 1S 5A FC (SPI Frsky), we recommend using BETAFPVF411RX 4.2.11 firmware and CLI dump file offered by BETAFPV. If you update the 4.3.0 and up firmware for serial ELRS 2.4G from the Betaflight official site, please flash the CLI dump file for Meteor65.
Download the FC firmware and CLI dump file for Meteor 65 ELRS2.4G, Frsky, or TBS.
C03 Camera
C03 FPV Micro Camera is 1.45g ultralight weight and a great camera for indoor micro FPV quadcopters. It features a 1200TVL definition with 1/3" CMOS sensor, 2.1mm lens for 160° FOV, and excellent latency, which boasts high-quality, clear and sharper images through your goggles.
Motors
0802SE 19500KV Motor motor is a lightweight 1S motor, compared with the 0802 series brushless motors, it is not only significantly reduced the weight which is only 1.88g/pc but also ensures excellent performance of power and thrust. It makes the perfect dynamic balance, which gives the drone more flexibility and longer flying time.
Meteor65 Frame
The lightest lower profile 65mm frame - Meteor65 frame is 3.25g only. The battery slot is closer to the center of gravity for a smoother flying experience, and you will land on the motor screws instead of the battery. There are more options for colorful frames such as Beta-blue, mint-green, sakura-pink, mango-orange, etc.

Very good drone
After flying the Cetus X, The Meteor 85, and The Meteor 75 Pro for the past few months, I was amazed at how small the 65 is...WOW! This thing is super tiny. I didn't know a drone could get this small! Incredible! I've got this little quad all setup for indoor flying. The 1st thing I did was open ExpressLRS Configurator and after a few attempts, I managed to update the Meteor 65 to ELRS 3.0. Now it works with my RadioMaster Pocket. Yeehaw! Then I opened Betaflight Configurator and configured the Video Transmitter frequency to match my 5.8GHZ Wireless Video Receiver thats hooked up to my 40" TV. Now I have FPV feed on the TV. Sweeet! Then finally I unscrewed the canopy and installed the 25 degree camera mount. The 35 degree angle is a bit too steep for me indoors. I Put it back together and everything is working perfectly for my indoor requirements. I flew my 1st FPV flight with it only a couple of hours after I received it and this thing is just perfect for indoors. I'm crazy happy with it. Its so small, and easy to handle. This little guy might just become my favorite indoor quad. I only have 2 more Meteors to go BetaFPV! The Meteor 65 Pro and The Air 65. Soon I will own the whole collection. Moohahaha. Go ahead and give each other a high 5. You've earned it.
Really durable, great vtx range, enough motor Power.. simply the best tinywhoop
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Meteor 65. Sehr klein, gut geeignet für die Fluge im ihnen Räumen. Und empfehlenswert für die Anfänger zum FPV fliegen lernen. Es fehlt nur ein Buzzer oder Pieper um die Drone leichter zu suchen Bein abstürzen. Ich kann diese Drone (Meteor 65) nur weiter empfehlen.
From my fleet, this is the quadcopter I spend most of my time with. Its small weight makes it much easier to maneuver than its bigger counterparts, safer to fly around people and lets it survive more heavy crashes. With time, I replaced the motors to 0702 with ball bearings, and now it's perfect :-)
