Cetus X FPV Quadcopter – FPV Drone for FrSky Training from BetaFPV is a brushless compact drone designed for beginners and experienced pilots looking to improve their FPV skills. The Cetus X is powered by two 1S batteries (2S power system), combining high thrust and maneuverability in a small body made of durable PA12 material. The Cetus X Brushless Whoop Frame (PA12) withstands impacts, and 360° propeller protection enhances flight safety. All necessary accessories are compactly stored in an EVA carrying and storage bag.

Key Advantages

• Beginner mode significantly simplifies learning to control, lowers the entry threshold into the world of FPV, and opens the way to professional models.
• 1103 11000KV brushless motors and Gemfan 2020 4-blade propellers provide power, smoothness, and quietness during flight, allowing for acrobatic maneuvers.
• Available flight controller versions: Betaflight FC (F4 2S 15A V1.0) with Betaflight firmware support for fine-tuning in the configurator, and Cetus BL V3 with three speed modes for easier learning.
• Emergency landing in case of loss of control or low battery charge increases operational safety.
• FPV camera with adjustable tilt angle 0°–40° allows shooting video from various angles during training.

Improved Video Transmission

The Cetus X comes with a C04 FPV camera (based on Caddx Nano Ant Camera / Runcam Nano 4) and a M04 25–400 mW VTX video transmitter in the Betaflight version or Cetus 25–350 mW VTX V2 in the Cetus version. Adjustable VTX output power allows for flights over significant distances, and compatibility with ExpressLRS 2.4G (for Betaflight FC) or FrSky D8 (for Cetus FC) radio systems ensures stable control and better FPV tracking.

Powerful Propulsion System

The quadcopter is equipped with 1103 11000KV motors and Gemfan 2020 4-Blades propellers, with a motor wheelbase of 95 mm. This combination provides the necessary thrust for fast maneuvers and stable flight during training.

Best Choice for Training

The Betaflight FC version allows working with the Betaflight configurator: calibrating the accelerometer, setting up menus and VTX, which is useful before transitioning to more complex models. The Cetus BL V3/FrSky version supports position hold with a high-precision barometer and laser rangefinder for altitude positioning and automatic hovering, making control easier for beginners.

Positioning System and Accuracy

The positioning system combines optical flow, barometer, and laser. Effective optical flow operating height: 0.3–3 m. Automatic hold accuracy: horizontally ±0.2 m, vertically ±0.3 m (in the absence of wind).
