    Just got this kit less than a week ago and the FPV gate-keeping has already started.
    I can tell you, the kit is great for 300$, don't let people try to talk you out of it or into something unmanageable.

    CAUTION: Purchased Cetus X BNF version ELRS. Took a while to get in the air b/c I had to exchange a transmitter over Christmas. Flashed all firmwares (took time) then finally got out flying. On second day out was doing a simple roll and the FC locked out. Quad crashed. The super tiny snap connector the VTX plugs into broke off the board. Contacted BetaFPV expecting either warranty replacement or replacement part. BetaFPV did not warranty and stated “WE DO NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE, YOU MAY PURCHASE A NEW UNIT” (entire new quad). Contacted distributor RDQ and they stated there was no replacement parts. I would not recommend this product. Very negative experience. Working on video to show others.

      I purchased mine from AliExpress, shop called BEYONDSKY and they were nothing but helpful. My camera lens fell off the sensor one day after 2 weeks of ownership, I contacted them and they sent me a brand new one free of charge in the post from china. To be honest I was expecting it to happen because I had read a review somewhere that their camera came off so when I saw it was missing I wasn’t surprised. Seems to be an issue as the camera is screwed into the canopy so if you repeatedly hit things it will transfer the shock to the camera lens. What I will say is they came take an absolute beating. Smashed mine multiple times into wall, ceiling and it’s fine. I even disarmed over a river, pulled it out and it was fine even the lipos still work (don’t recommend using damaged lipos)

    In my last video from yesterday (Final episode of my very first FPV) at the very end of the video, you can see in a picture what I will do with the parts of the Cetus X soon. (2,0 inch Twiglet Mini 2S). I only had to change the camera and the VTX, because the camera and VTX from the Cetus X are not compatible with the BETAFPV Micro Canopy 2022 that I really want. It would also be possible to use all parts of the Cetux X with the Crux3 canopy, for example, but the VTX would be loose in the canopy or is more difficult to attach and would probably need an insulated foil so that the VTX does not touch other circuit boards... However the advantage with the Crux3 canopy would be that you would be independent of the BETAFPV ecosystem…

    Good review Steve. If possible explain the difference between Cetus, Cetus pro and Cetus X in one of your videos. I was about to buy Cetus pro but now I am thinking again. I have DJI and Holy Stone drones but little bored with flying camera drones. I am thinking of entering FPV drones along with taking videos and inspecting roof and walls. I live in Japan and am a retired old man. I like sailing, riding, golf and droning.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Here is your answer:
      Cetus designed for indoors mostly.
      Cetus Pro designed for indoors and some outdoors.
      Cetus X is a true FPV Whoop that is great indoors and outdoors, and the goggles record video.

    • @deanzaka
      @deanzaka ปีที่แล้ว +3

      believe me, just go with Cetus X. Cetus Pro is a solid starter, it's trying to tackle what the original cetus can't: more power, fly outdoors. But, somehow ending up having flaws on both ends, indoors and outdoors.
      outdoors: yes, it's more powerful brushless, but it is still 1S battery. Morning fly is your best bet, can't really fly good even on just a little windy day.
      indoors: camera angle. That's the problem. It is just too high. If you are new to the fpv world, the drones fly in a forward angle, so the camera need to be angled too. The faster the drone fly, the more extreme the angle is. This is becoming a problem when flying indoor, because when you fly too fast, you hit things, but if you fly too slow, the camera will face up, you can't see a thing, and you hit things.
      Original cetus is actually better at indoor flying, since the motor is slower, so even with the extreme angle, it is still slow enough to fly indoors.
      The other crucial thing is range. The vtx power is capped at 25mW, and the goggles only use internal on board antenna, you'll lost visual really fast really short.
      Also, the goggles doesn't have dvr, so you can't record with it.
      Don't get me wrong, I love my cetus pro, I even ended up rigging it here and there and still using it occasianally for fun, or just let my friends try it out with no worries at all, since it sure can take a beating!
      all in all, It is good for starter, but you'll outgrow it way too fast.
      This cetus X seems to answer all my problems with cetus pro.
      Or if you don't mind some learning and youtube searching, combination of mobula 7 (drone), jumper t pro (tx), and eachine ev800d (goggles) will be my suggestion pick for tinywhoop starter. Bet you'll end up with similar budget with that.

Just a question pls. i wear big glasses, so what kind of goggles you may suggest me to pair/link with this drone? May i use also a DJI FPV V2 goggles , i mean if may use them, then i will use them for other drones in the futures. And a second question.... may. i use any simulator or just a Betafpv simulator? Thanks and liked and you earned a new follower! Great video!

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798

      Goggles all depend on your budget. The more you pay the more options there are for pro goggles that adjust to your eye sight. NOPE, you can't use DJI FPV Goggles. Use any simulator you wish as long as you have simple computer knowledge in attaching an external device and configuring it.

I was wondering if you have any idea what that could be, any insight would be helpful.

    Hello Captain you are an inspiration to myself and countless others that like to be entertained while we learn how to move things from a distance. I have watched so many wonderful and educational videos you have made it’s mind boggling that could be my problem because my mind boggles so easily.
    You’re right if you gusts I want something. Could you tell me exactly what to watch to download and use the cetus x simulator. I’m the old man that tries to comment on your videos a time or two. I have what’s called acquired Dyslexia you know head trauma things like that. It’s challenging to say the least navigating in this maze of letters and numbers. About 45 minutes on this so far.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Jerry, my only suggestion is to keep watching TH-cam videos on the FPV drone you own as everyone usually shows things in a different manner. As for a simulator, I don't use any because I fly outdoors, so I really can't recommend any. If you are new to computers, its best you avoid simulators for awhile because you have to own a radio and connect it to the computer, and then when you use a simulator you have to calibrate the joysticks so that the simulator knows what is in your hand and how far in each direction you are moving the sticks. If you can find someone to help you, then you can usually find a FREE very basic simulator to enjoy.

When I said watch what meant was show her so I don’t take up too much of her time I do know how to use the simulator, calibrations and things because I see some things here and some other places but I can’t Explain it to her or show 10 or 15 videos Ive seen it on
      You did the best you could and it’s much appreciated. I have several drones and a lot planes Ive purchased more than fifty I give most away after I show them how to fly it of course lol

    I wanted to ask what flight times you have had with this Cetus. In other reviews they talk about 4 or even 5 minutes of flight, but you never see them reach more than 3 minutes (at least in acro).
    Thanks and regards.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It all depends on how you fly. Hovering in place, flying in Angle/Horizon mode & zipping the throttle in Acro mode, all use up the most battery. Flying at a medium speed in and out and through objects in acro uses the least battery.

    In your link to purchase this drone, appear "Cetus X FC" and "Cetus X Betaflight FC". Both has the word FC. It is a bit confusing because in a previous comment you mentioned that any model with FC in the name does not connect to Betaflight software, but this one actually does.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      FC means the drone is NOT using BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR and is instead using BETAFPV configuration software. This is usually because the FC beginner kits have an optical flow camera on the bottom which is something that does not exist in the real FPV hobby so that is why BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR can’t be used.
