Auxiliary Flight Function
Built-in highly precise barometer to detect the height, the version with Cetus FC benefits from great stability due to its position hold mode, and auto-hovering, which enables the drone to stay at the current height. This function also ensures an emergency landing of the drone whenever loses control or is on low battery. Meanwhile, its stable flight allows you to catch the best footage with the FPV Goggles. It really does an immense amount of fun and ease of flight for all pilots. Recommend flying it with BETAFPV VR03 Goggles.
Note: The position hold function is only available in N mode.
Improved Video Transmission
Cetus X Brushless Quadcopter comes with M04 25-400mW VTXand C04 FPV camera. The VTX features a lightweight and adjustable output power for longer distance flying. Combining this VTX and the excellent radio link ExpressLRS 2.4G/Frsky D8, pilots can fly whoop drones longer to explore more possibilities and have fun. In addition, C04 FPV camera (based on Caddx Nano Ant Camera/Runcam Nano 4) shows better quality in FPV flight compared withC02 FPV camera.
Powerful Propulsion System
Equipped with 1103 11000KV Brushless Motor and Gemfan 2020 4-blade props. 1103 motors are designed for 2S quadcopters with incredible power, smooth and quiet operation, and light enough. Besides, Cetus X quadcopter adopts 2020 4-blade props, which are lighter and durable enough, offering pilots a high-efficiency flight experience.
Primary Choice for Next Level
Cetus X Brushless Qaducopter Betaflight FC version supports configuring on Betaflight configurator. It is a primary choice for beginners who start to learn drone configuring, which helps beginners to get advanced level. With the Betaflight configurator, you can calibrate accelerometer, custom OSD content, adjust the video transmitter and etc.
Note: Please DO NOT configure ESC or Motor settings on Betaflight configurator.
Betaflight Flight Controller
Cetus X brushless quadcopter is built-in F4 1S 12A FC board, supporting ELRS 2.4G, or default Frsky D8 protocol. The ELRS 2.4G version comes with betaflight 4.3.1 FC firmware so it supports ELRS V2.0. The Frsky version can be switched to the Futaba SFHSS protocol through the Betaflight configurator. The ESC on the new board powered by BB51 hardware comes with Bluejay 48k ESC firmware, allowing 1103 11000KV motors to give full play to the efficiency of power. We update the gyro to BOSH BMI270 for better performance and stability since the new F4 1-2S 12A FC.

550mah Battery:
BT2.0 Batteries are well renowned for delivering excellent performance and durability in 1S whoop drones. The BT2.0 550mAh 1S battery achieves even better performance. It is capable of delivering a discharge rate of 40C (continuous) and 80C (burst). Larger capacity and stronger power bring more flight time and robust flight performance to 75-80mm whoop drones.
Bullet Point
-
BT2.0 connector decreased the internal resistance of the connector effectively by upgrading the crimped pins to 1.0mm banana connector and increasing the cross-sectional area of 1.0mm banana connector.
-
By solving the problem of voltage sag, the discharge of the 550mAh 1S BT2.0 lipo becomes more efficient. Pilots can enjoy more flight time without the disturbance of low voltage warnings.Â
-
BT2.0 550mAh 1S Battery has stable current/voltage output and high efficiency. All 1S brushless drones will gain powerful and perfect performance with this BT2.0 550mAh 1S battery.
-
Compared with the PH2.0 crimped pins, the BT2.0 connector is more durable and can discharge more currents in the same capacity and provide far more power.Â
-
It is perfectly suitable for BETAFPV 1S whoop drones that use the BT2.0 450mAh battery, it can provide stable and consistent power, which achieved dynamic balance and more flight time. For example, Meteor75, Meteor75 HD, Meteor75 Pro, Meteor75 Pro HD, Cetus Pro, and Cetus X (double 1S battery in serial).

There is a graph of comparison between BT2.0 1SÂ 550mAh battery and BT2.0 1S 450mAh battery. The discharge current is 13.5A in this testing. You could see that it has a longer time and improvement in voltage, which brings better flight performance.
The below picture shows the discharge of BT2.0 550mAh 1S battery in 22A (40C).
More Flight Time
BETAFPV Meteor75, Meteor75 HD, Meteor75 Pro, Meteor75 Pro HD, Cetus Pro, and Cetus X are compatible with BT2.0 550mAh 1S battery, ensuring more time to create and less time worrying about the battery level. Pilots who fly 75-80mm whoop drones can also use BT2.0 550mAh battery.
Note: The flight time testing for both batteries is based on the 4.35V-3.2V voltage.
Pilots should remove the battery plate if installing this battery on Cetus Pro

There are 2 issues in the single order:
1. They sent a much cheaper item than I ordered and did not offer any refund when I came to them.
2. They sent a wrong protocol version which I am not able to use as I only have a ELRS Radio.
They are only saying: 'OK. Do the refund'. No sorry, no apologies, nothing.
Sending the device back is no go for me. I am in Ukraine, sending an order back and waiting for a new one will take 2-3 months while I need the drone asap!
Strongly don't recommend the seller!
Packed well.
At some point the tracking disappeared, but then everything recovered. Delivery was delayed from the estimated one week.
