Meteor85 Brushless Whoop Quadcopter (2S)
The name Beta85 Pro 2 and Meteor85 are both for this drone. We would like to use the name Meteor85 progressively.
Beta85 Pro 2, a new approach to the 2S micro formula which optimizes weight. This provides a smoother flight experience that's easier to control at high speed and easier on battery life as well. You have plenty of power to use both indoor and outdoor spaces as a small-scale acro playground. The weight savings also provide a handling advantage on the racecourse, allowing tighter turns and making it easier to hit gates.
Inspired by Justin Davis & Nate Payne's ShutterBug85, this build is dramatically reduced weight and optimized the flight experience, and the acro performance is really awesome. Beta85 Pro 2 is the best combination for pilots, you do not need to assemble it by hand but also get more power on punch for acro mode.
ELRS 2.4G Version
ExpressLRS is the most popular radio link in 2021. ExpressLRS aims to achieve the best possible link performance in both speeds, latency, and range. Know more about the ExpressLRS project on Github or join the discussion in the Facebook Group.
In order to meet the FPV polit's requirement for ELRS whoop drones, the ELRS 2.4G version Beta85 Pro 2 is here. Comparison with the SPI Frsky version, what is the upgrade point on the new ELRS 2.4G version drone?
- The FC board is the F4 1S 12A FC (ELRS 2.4G), which integrates BLHeli_S 12A ESC and SPI ExpressLRS 2.4G receiver.
- 5.8G VTX M03 could provide highest 350mW output power. So both the radio link and FPV video link could be long enough.
- It comes with Caddx Ant FPV camera and nano HD canopy.

Bullet Points
- Beta85 Pro 2 starts a new era of 2S whoop, which could fly real acro, like a larger quad, but is still safe enough, light enough, and durable enough to fly anywhere, especially suitable for racing.
- With the high-performance STM32F411CEU6 processor FC boards and tuned betaflight_4.2.0_STM32F411, everyone could fly the Beta85 Pro 2 drone like a racing pro.
- With durable and light enough frame. A total weight of 42g gives pilots a good balance of weight and a nice punch on a 2S battery.
- Whole drone no soldering or tinkering necessary. Customized lightest 1103 11000KV motors with cable connectors. Just plug and play.
- 300mAh 2S high rate battery is recommended by default. The drone comes with an XT30 cable, convenient for installing the 2S battery. But pilots could also use their whoop batteries with a replaced power cable. Optional and affordable.

Meteor85 is one of My favorite 2S quads. I have 4 of them. Unfortunately My last one binds then spins out of control when I arm, I suspect a faulty gyro. A Great quad if you get a good one.
Meteor85 pro whoop drone is of High quality, it’s tune and flys very well loads of power for flying outside, it’s small and people don’t mind it flying around, it was very easy to bind to my controller no issues with it. Only took two weeks for the drone to arrive, it arrived in good shape, betafpv has great customer support so if you do run into a problem they will get it sorted out in no time for you.
Great product amazing customer service highly recommended thank you betafpv
awesome for just enjoying a short session during work break by ripping around the public swimming pool or park. It's comfortable silent, so parents with little children are not scared away...;)
This drone is durable as a tank. I flew 1000m and the connectivity was perfect. ELRS makes it a great equipment for flying behind obstacles. I've had hundreds of serious accidents and He still works. The frame broke in 4 places but still does not give up. It's good that I have a spare frame.
