BETAFPV Cetus Pro FPV Kit with 3 Flight Modes Altitude Hold Emergency Landing Self Protection Turtle Mode, with LiteRadio 2 SE Transmitter VR02 Goggles Ready to Flight Easy for FPV Beginners

An unbelievable amount of fun! I would not consider this a kids toy, it take a lot of practice, and the controls are very sensitive (as they should be). But it IS great for (adult) beginners.It's worth noting that I could never get the "Normal" mode to work. Sport and Manual mode worked great though. When I tried Normal mode the drone shot straight up into the air at top speed and hit our ceiling. Haha, glad I wasn't outside or that thing would have been gone!Another great thing about this drone is that it is SUPER durable. Mine has already smashed into our high ceiling, dropped from the second floor onto the hardwood floor of the first floor, run into walls, flipped upside down, several very hard landings, etc.. Thing still looks as good as new and runs great.Only ONE fairly significant issue: the battery life. Flight time is only about 3min per battery. And you only get 2 batteries. Recharging the batteries takes about 20min-ish. So do yourself a favor and buy the pack of 4 betafpv 450mAh BT2.0 batteries and also the betafpv charger with 30W power supply that can charge 6 of the 1S 450mAh batteries simultaneously. That way you have more flight. Moreover, the better you get at flying the longer you can fly on each battery because your flying will be smoother and less "punchy" with less high-current events happening, which makes the batteries last a lot longer if you're just cruising around gently - you could get up to 4-5min with nice consistent smooth flight.

I've always loved the idea of flight. I've had dreams where I fly like a bird with the physical sensation of lift. Barring the chance to buy/rent and fly a helicopter, skydive, or wingsuit, FPV is the closest I've ever come to making these dreams a reality.I am not new to piloting aerial vehicles and purchased this kit to expand my repertoire of skills and knowledge of the products that exist for beginners. The BetaFPV drones are hands down the easiest and least expensive way to approach the hobby. With the 3 modes available (normal, sport, and manual) as well as the speed switch, You are given a safe and practical way to become familiar with FPV flight controls and operations. From the simulator on a pc to manual mode IRL, you are provided with a clear and forgiving path to familiarize yourself with FPV flight.If you are starting out, This is the kit for you. I recommend purchasing one to two 6 battery chargers, and at least 14 batteries for a solid hour of flight time. In most cases, you will be able to rotate through each battery and fly continuously minus your pit stops. I would also recommend that beginners fully read the included manuals and disable the normal mode flight assists as in my experience they are more likely to interfere with the "feel" of the drone. Remember that you *are* going to crash when you begin; that said, the drone is incredibly durable and comes with replacement props. I also recommend starting indoors so you can get a feel for the drone and verify that there are no functional defects without environmental effects.

Great for begining flyer. Good quality for the price point. Comes with everything needed to get started... drone, controller, goggles, 2 batteries and charger, spare parts and basic tools. Carrying case makes this a great package. Other reviews on here recommended getting extra batteries. Got an extra 4 pack and that was a good idea. Batteries only last a few minutes of flight time and take about 1/2 hour to charge. We will probably get a multiple battery charger eventually. Frame cracked within a week of use (and frequent crashing). It has a second crack now. Replacement frames are only $10 so ordered 2. Thought we had an issue with a motor spinning backwards but turns out we installed the wrong replacement propeller. Swapped it out and that solved the problem. Customer service had some language barrier, but otherwise was very responsive. Only complaint is cosmetic. The materials quickly became discolored at handling points.

These FPV kits are a plague to the FPV community. They deter you from the Hobby. You can arrange a much better tinywhoop and be ESLR ready for 300$. At first I bought the Emax Tinyhawk 3 RTF. It flew for a while and it was great. Then it broke, got sent back, and ordered this one.It is unbelievable that this RTF kit costs the same as the Tinyhawk 3’s. The controller feels plasticky and the gimbals are just awful. you get 25% of throttle and you’re floating down, but then push it to 26% and your drone is smashing into the ceiling.Don’t even get me started on the goggles. Those are truly a toy. The screen distance is non-adjustable either and the display seems worse in quality in comparison to Emax’s screen.The drone itself looks poor quality, toy like. The unadjustable camera is the absolute worst feature about this purchase. Even the way the motors sound feels like a toy. Also the drone is super wobbly, and it doesn’t matter how much control you have or what mode you’re on, it just moves wanky and rough, you can’t move “smoothly” on this drone.BTW did i mention that in the stabilizer mode, the drone’s inputs can’t even help it float because it tilts backwards, so when you push your stick forward, the drone doesn’t react on enough time. The Optical Stab is just a joke on this one. Also drops on altitude left and right and upon its own desire.Will be returning the items shortly unless they do a partial refund. This item IS NOT WORTH 250+shipping. NEVER.
