  • We have yet another drone sent to us by the fine folks at ‪@BETAFPVHobby‬ -- this time it's their beginner FPV drone, the Cetus X. This is probably a drone you have seen before if you have ever been interested in FPV flying and is regarded as one of the best "my-first-FPV-drone" solutions on the market.
    Is this really the case or is it a clever bit of marketing from a drone company that wants to push customers down their sales funnel?
    I team up with FPV pro, ‪@SamKarpFPV‬ to fly the BETAFPV Cetus X and form some initial opinions on the drone and its billing as the perfect entry-level FPV drone for beginners.
    Let's fly the Cetus X, Let's Talk Drones!

    For anyone new
    If you use the auto scan on your goggles, move the quad away from the goggles. It makes finding the right channel easier for the goggles. If you have bad range after auto scan, thats why

    Great first impressions on the BetaFPV Cetus X! It sounds like a great option for new pilots looking to get into the hobby

    Analog seems very rough to get used to from a visual perspective but besides that, it looks really fun! Great video guys!👏🏾🤙🏾

      the cetus has the worst analog cam
      and you cant connect the cetus to betaflight so no tuning possible
      i wouldnt recommand that thing
      mobula7 or tinyhawk 3 are way better
      i know of 2 people that had that set and both their controllers had broken gimbals within 4 weeks
      mobula 7 + radiomaster pocket + skyzone cobra lite or sd and you got a way better starter kit maybe a vifly whoopstor for charging and some gnb 1s 660mAh lipos with it

      @@bluefpv3263 I was in BetaFlight with it over the past 3 days. Tuning rates and everything. Able to reprogram your modes sliders for the controller too. After looking at their website, it looks like they now have two configurations for the Cetus's flight controller -- the Cetus FC and the BetaFlight FC. I'm thinking the BetaFlight FC is a new option for it and that I likely have this version because, again, I'm able to reconfigure everything about this Cetus X via BetaFlight.

    I used my controller with the simulator, you don’t turn it on it runs off the power of the computer.

    • @TheDroneGeek
      @TheDroneGeek  Місяць тому +1

      That makes sense since the battery is internal and the controller charges via USB-C! Good to know that it works with the simulator too!

    I have had 3 of them. Not a fan of their vtx at all. I like the meteors better. I have had several vtx burn outs. With both. Fun though.

      I'll have to keep an eye on the burnout issue...that's good to know, albeit disappointing to hear. The analog VTX is a HUGE step backwards for me personally because I learned on and mostly fly digital VTXs...you can imagine how jarring this is for me...but the drone itself is a ton of fun to fly, so it cancels some of that shock out! xD
