About the BetaFPV Cetus X

The Cetus X is how you find out whether FPV is your hobby before spending DJI Avata money. The kit is complete: an 81g brushless whoop-style quad with prop guards, FPV goggles and a proper LiteRadio transmitter — charge, bind, fly. Crucially it teaches real transferable stick skills, with angle, horizon and full acro modes as you progress, plus altitude hold and a turtle mode to flip itself upright after crashes.

The analog camera is for flying, not filming, and batteries last around five minutes each — that is normal for FPV training. Fly it in the living room or a calm park, crash it a hundred times, and you will know exactly what your next FPV drone should be.
