Electronics and Reliability

BNF versions of the Meteor85 use the F4 1-2S 12A flight controller. The ESC on the BB51 board comes with Bluejay 48k firmware, allowing the 1103 11000KV motors to operate at maximum efficiency. The updated BOSH BMI270 gyroscope improves drone stability and control.

Design and Cooling

The frame features a low-profile battery slot, which increases reliability and eliminates the need for additional straps. The camera canopy with a hollow design promotes better airflow and reduces thermal load on components; the design is compatible with M03 Analog VTX.
