Cetus X FPV Quadcopter – FPV Drone for FrSky Training (BetaFPV brand) — a versatile aircraft for beginners and experienced pilots looking to master FPV flights. This compact brushless quadcopter is powered by two 1S batteries (2S power system) and combines power, maneuverability, and protective solutions for safe indoor and outdoor training.

Description and Key Advantages

The Cetus X Brushless Whoop Frame is made of durable PA12 material, ensuring impact resistance and 360° propeller protection. The beginner mode lowers the entry barrier to FPV, while the emergency landing function in case of control loss or low battery enhances safety during training. For convenient transport, the kit is packed in an EVA material bag.

Flight Capabilities and Electronics

Two flight controller versions are available: Betaflight FC (F4 2S 15A V1.0) for those who want to fine-tune parameters in Betaflight, and Cetus BL V3 Flight Controller with three speed modes for gradual learning. Receivers: ELRS 2.4G in the Betaflight version and FrSky D8 in the Cetus version. Video transmitters: VTX M04 with adjustable power 25–400 mW for the Betaflight version or Cetus 25–350 mW VTX V2 for the Cetus version, allowing selection of optimal power and communication range.

Camera and Video Transmission

The C04 FPV Camera (based on Caddx Nano Ant Camera or Runcam Nano 4) provides a clear FPV image. The camera tilt angle is adjustable within 0°–40°, allowing selection of the optimal angle for training flights and tricks. The combination of a high-quality camera and powerful VTX ensures stable video transmission up to 500 m in open space without interference.

Propulsion System and Control

The propulsion system consists of 1103 11000KV brushless motors and lightweight Gemfan 2020 4-Blades propellers, with a motor wheelbase of 95 mm. The motors are optimized for 2S operation, providing smooth, quiet, and powerful thrust sufficient for performing tricks and stable control.

Positioning Systems and Accuracy

The positioning system includes optical flow, barometer, and laser. Position localization is performed by optical flow with an effective height of 0.3–3 m; altitude positioning is supplemented by laser and barometer for stable altitude hold. Automatic hold accuracy: horizontal ±0.2 m, vertical ±0.3 m (in the absence of wind).
