BETAFPV Betaflight ELRS Cetus X 2S Brushelss Drone with C04 FPV Camera VTX Module F4 2S 15A Flight Controller 1103 11000KV Motor, Supported 2S Power for Beginners to Fly Faster Further

I will start by saying that I bought this to use with a remote I already had (obviously as the listing is for drone only) and FPV goggles I had from another BetaFPV kit. works great with both. the brushless motors are strong and its very responsive, a little bigger then my other drone but this size is perfect still for flying around the house and heavy enough to handle some outdoor flying.It is worth nothing that I ALMOST returned it as I couldn't figure out how to connect it to my controller (Radiomaster Zorro 4 in 1 with a nano ELRS module) the bind button didn't want to put it into bind mode. but I ended up plugging the controller into a PC and running the elrs management tool and setting a binding string, then setting that same string on the drone in Betaflight. Took a long time on youtube to figure it out as I am pretty new to fpv drones and there wasn't a specific video on the topic. when setting the string also make sure you set the drone and radio to the right frequency so that they will bind up. in betaflight its in the same spot as the name and with EdgeTX (the software on my radio and the BetaFlight Pro radio) frequency can be changed on the profile. but once they were set I turned them both on and they connected like they had been doing it for years.If you are REALLY new I suggest a full kit unless you like to tinker with stuff. But I took the leap and I am glad I did.

This thing is so INSANELY HARD TO SETUP with the same companies controller it's insanity. I spent hours and if you're on a mac FORGET IT. Forget this thing and the entire BETA FPV brand unless you're buying a kit this utterly SUCKS !

Liked everything except brittle eggshell like plastic used.

I am new to the FPV hobby and I am so happy I've joined at a time when companies like BetaFPV are around with products that enable quick and immediate fun flying with a path to learning Acro! I just love the CETUS X. What a powerful, easy to fly, quality drone. ELRS is the future. Thank you to BetaFPV for an easy on ramp to the best hobby ever! What I love even more is that BetaFPV Support was right by my side when I had challenges with getting my radio and the Cetus X to talk to each other! Not only that, when I had issues with the VTX, they sent me a new one. I've read elsewhere that they leave you hanging when/if you have issues with their products. Not my experience at all. If you're looking for an easy entry into the hobby, on quality products with the right support to get and keep you flying, look no further!! Thank you BetaFPV!

I really like flying this drone, but after 4 battery packs the camera gets hot and stops sending the video feed to the goggles which can be really exciting in the middle of a flight! In my opinion, the video feed has a lot of glitches so you really have to pay attention to where you are in your flight, I just fly around on my 1 acre lot and I am getting used to where all of the trees are!! It is a lot of fun, I am new to drones so this is a good starter drone for flying FPV!!

I fly larger fpv drones and my children are interested l, however a 11& 13yr old flying larger drones with no experience doesn’t seem safe. This Cetus X is a backyard ripper, took my children to a large soccer field to teach the basics after 20mins they had on goggles and was flying with confidence. If your new this is a good choice. Only downside is after we purchased betafpv release another Cetus for beginners with altitude hold.

Stock, the thing has problems with the VTX overheating (does so very very quickly too). The frame doesn't allow proper airflow to the video transmitter and the stock video antenna is pretty much worthless. You get signal break up at 50' line of sight. The elrs receiver works...but the range is abysmally bad. It uses a single piece of copper wire for the antenna, and it's buried in that awful frame as well. The other problem is how the camera is mounted. It seems like having it be able to tilt is a good idea...until after a couple of flights. In short order the screws that hold the tilt angle loosen up and fall out, so it flops around (which is critically awful in flight). I ended up tranferring all the components to a new 2" frame and it's tolerable now, but even then it's under ppwered and flies like a pig (the new frame is actually lighter than stock). I also replaced the VTX antenna which improv3d it's video range considerably.While the internal components are adequate, the frame is an oven which will cook the parts to death. I do not recommend.

The most positive side of this drone that it's unbreakable, it survived numerous hits on a concrete slabs.The only downside is flying time, only 5 min. So I bought 4 more batteries.Btw do not get 550mAh batts, they give you the same flying time as 450mAhAlso I'd recommend to replace video antenna too, you can find videos on youtube how to do that
