BETAFPV Cetus X Brushless FPV Quadcopter Adjustable Camera Indoor Racing Drone ELRS 2.4G Outdoor RC Helicopter

 

Cetus X with the classical Cetus flight controller version is released. It supports the position hold function, which provides easier control to pilots. If select the Betaflight FC version, pilots are able to get and learn tons of FPV knowledge via the popular open source Betaflight flight controller community. Both FC versions perform great in power and speed and feature higher-grade control modes for pilots to get advanced.

FPV Simulator Supported

First time flying a quadcopter? You can learn and practice flying a quadcopter through an FPV simulator before real flying. LiteRadio 3 is available to play FPV simulators like DRL/DCL/Uncrashed/Liftoff. More convenient for practicing and charging at the same time. Here is the display of Liftoff.

Various Modes, Accessible to All

Cetus X (Betaflight FC) supports Angle/Horizon/Air Modes, which can satisfy the different needs of pilots and adapt to various flight environments. When the quadcopter falls to the ground and upside down, you can activate turtle mode by LiteRadio 3 transmitter to flip it over and resume flying. 

The version with Cetus FC has N/M/S three flight modes and supports 3 different speeds with SLOW/MID/FAST. Whether you're a seasoned FPV pilot or a complete beginner, the Cetus X FPV Kit helps anyone fly confidently from day one.

Note: The slow speed of Cetus FC version is not available on its M mode.

 

Cetus X BNF Version

As you know, the yaw axis will be not working anymore on ICM20689 gyrometer some times. Listening to pilot's feedback, working with the developer on Betaflight, contacting with the FAE on TDK. But until now, not solved. So we update the gyro to BOSH BMI270 since V2.2 version. Also, all the Betaflight FC boards will update the gyrometer to BOSH BMI270 or TDK ICM42688 following.

Pay attention, ONLY the newest Betaflight firmware 4.3.1 start to support this BMI270 gyrometer or ICM42688. Please check the below link to download the firmware.

Note: If your FC board has the yaw axis issue unfortunately, please feel free to email support@betafpv.com for a replacement. Order list and a short video for this issue would be appreciated.

The BLHeli_S firmware could support the BB51 hardware now. This V2.2 board is powered by BB51 hardware. If you want to setup the ESC specification, please update to the newest BLHeliSuite-16714902a first.

Note: BetaFlight Configurator, BLHeli Configurator, Bluejay Configurator are invalid for the BB51 ESC now.
