BETAFPV Cetus Drone Kit with Camera Goggles Transmitter with Altitude Hold | Emergence Landing | Learning Freestyle | Self Protection | 3 Speed Flight Modes for FPV Beginners and Professionals

Product Information

Altitude hold keeps the drone hovering at a certain height, combining with the LiteRadio 1 that has two centering gimbals, new beginners can easily control the height of the quadcopter. The Cetus Lite has a built-in accurate barometer, ensuring stable hover that allows you to fly quadcopter smoothly. With the altitude hold function, new beginners can improve on FPV flight skills and have extra fun from every flight. Classical white design inherited from Cetus Series and made of PA12 material, Cetus X frame has an excellent impact resistance in drop & impact. The 360° protection of the whoop frame ensures safe flights both indoors and outdoors. Meanwhile, the FPV camera supports 0°-40° adjustable degrees, which provides different views for pilots.

Note: Please DO NOT configure ESC or Motor settings on Betaflight configurator. Betaflight Flight ControllerCetus X comes with M04 25-400mW VTX and C04 FPV camera. Both VTX features a lightweight and adjustable output power for longer distance flying. Combining this VTX and the excellent radio link ExpressLRS 2.4G, 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 with C02 FPV camera. Charging power from USB-C gets up to 4W, to fully charge the radio from empty would probably take around 2 hours. On my first flight, the drone was drifting a lot, calibrating the accelerometer on level ground fixed that. The Cetus X has a pretty cool double battery design, it takes two 1S 450mAh batteries which are connected in series to double the voltage for the drone.

Having the skills base and specialist knowledge to develop and build this vessel in the UK, is testament to the UKs leading reputation in building surface and sub-surface ships. When charging two LiPo simultaneously charging power gets up to 12W using a fast charging adapter, to fully charge two batteries from empty would probably take under 1.5 hour. Pay attention, ONLY the newest Betaflight firmware 4.3.1 start to support this BMI270 gyrometer or ICM42688 Recommended Parts First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Ben Key said: This is a hugely exciting moment for Project Cetus as the Royal Navy surges ahead with the development of autonomous technology.This flight mode is perhaps the most interesting feature of the Cetus, and it’s the first time I have ever seen these sensors used in a tiny whoop. LiteRadio 1 radio transmitter has a perfect size for children to hold. It is consist of two self-centering gimbals, which make the flight easier and smoother. One platform tthat comes to mind is Orca. Orca is an autonomous underwater vehicle that is under development by Boeing and Huntington Ingalls Industries for the United States Navy. The Orca is around 15m in length, so just a bit bigger, and the U.S. Navy want five of them. Work has already started, a concept image is shown to illustrate this article. VR02 FPV Goggles- the First-Person-View Goggles with the simpler operation and powerful function, is specially designed for FPV starters. It comes with built-in 5.8G 14DBI high-quality antennas, you can receive stable and clear images even for long-range flights. Adopt an ergonomic design with a foam sponge faceplate and a three-sided adjustable headband, it fits your face and head perfectly.

First thing first, charge the radio and goggles (see chapter 4.5 and 5.4 in the manual). Also charge the batteries (chapter 3.6)With high efficient BT2.0 300mAh 1S battery, the flight time is about 4-5 minutes. Easy to replace the battery, and getting more batteries for longer flight time is recommended. Besides Betaflight FC, there’s also another option for the Cetus FC with optical flow camera and LiDAR sensors, that enables altitude hold flight mode. In my opinion I think the Betaflight version is better, it’s simpler and altitude hold flight mode doesn’t really teach you how to fly, it only makes things more complicated. Master angle mode, then learn air mode, that’s it. And you want those, because brushless motors are more efficient and less likely to fail over time. The ducted-style shell provides great prop protection, and the company says it’s been fabricated with a new type of rougher, more rugged material. Specs Three modes those N/ S/ M are available, which can satisfy the different needs of pilots and adapt to various flight environments. Whether you’re a seasoned FPV pilot or a complete beginner, the Cetus Pro FPV Kit helps anyone fly confidently from day one. These 3 flight modes can be switched by one SB switch on transmitter, which is simple and convenient. Meanwhile, all modes support 3 different speeds with SLOW/MID/FAST, pilots can switch it by one SC switch on the transmitter.

The contract is funded by the Anti-Submarine Warfare Spearhead programme, run by the Royal Navy’s Develop Directorate, headquartered in Portsmouth. The vessel will be delivered through the Submarine Delivery Agency in Bristol and is the latest in a series of novel underwater technologies being brought to life to deal with the threats of the next decade. 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. T his 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 VR03 FPV Goggles very well. It really does an immense amount of fun and ease of flight for all pilots. The Cetus is a little heavy at 27.5g (without battery), a typical Tinywhoop of this size usually weighs at around 20 to 22g. This is mainly due to the beefy canopy and prop guard, it’s rigid and durable. I also flew this drone outdoor, but it struggled in the 15MPH wind (which is typical weather where I live). It constantly got pushed around, but I think it should be flyable in under 10MPH wind condition. Note: FC (Betaflight FC Version) has been replaced from F4 1S 12A FC to F4 2S 15A V1.0 FC since Sep 2023.The faith the Royal Navy has shown in our small business is humbling and we look forward to working closely together in the future, as we have in the recent past, to develop and deploy Cetus, in the national interest. Now power on the goggles, and search for the drone’s video signal by holding down the search button (S button) for 3 seconds (see chapter 5.2). Note that the auto search function isn’t always accurate, it might only find a frequency that is near the channel the drone is broadcasting on, and it’s not good for your video signal. To find exactly what channel the drone is using, you should go to the OSD menu, Features, VTX (see chapter 6.2 in the manual for instructions). New to FPV quadcopter? It is easy for beginners to understand the speed of the Cetus quadcopter. The Cetus Lite has slow and fast speed modes, which can be altered on the radio transmitter. Users can gradually improve their flying skills and make progress day by day. Build-in ExpressLRS 2.4G receiver that is the most popular radio link, low latency, and far controlling range are possible. Pilots can not only enjoy the flight indoors but also explore the scenery outdoors.
