Check out what happened during the Cetus Pro Launch Event!
What is FPV?
FPV in drone means first-person view. This means that whatever the drone sees, this is how the pilot sees. Similar to like watching Tom Cruise’s Top Gun movie.
Unlike drones that have gimbal features that we see in DJI drones, the FPV’s camera is fixed. Hence, the movement of this drone is like literally flying a plane.

Taking off with Cetus Pro FPV Kit
The BETAFPV Cetus Pro is the ideal choice for beginners to advance drone pilots who would like to experience flying an FPV drone for the first time or hone their skills in flying an FPV indoor or an outdoor environment. In the kit are the main gears for the Cetus Pro: The brushless quadcopter, LiteRadio2 SE Transmitter, and VR02 FPV goggles. For a price of Php 13,690, you won’t be able to find a package deal that has a drone, remote, and goggles this affordable in the market.
The quadcopter is small, portable, and can fit in the palm of your hand. It has a brushless power system that allows you to achieve FPV freestyle moves. Crashing the drone multiple times won't be a problem, because the material is made of PA12 material and it has propeller guards. If the drone lands upside down, it has a turtle mode function to flip the drone right back up.

Three Flight Modes, From Zero to Hero
Depending on the skills of a drone pilot, they can set the drone to any of its three modes: Normal Mode, Manual Mode, and Sports Mode. Normal Mode is recommended for those people who have never flown a drone and gives enough assistance to the user flying the Cetus Pro. Manual Mode is having full control of the drone. While Sports Mode is the drone's fastest mode allowing you to fly the drone faster. All modes are supported by three different speeds: Slow, Mid, and Fast. Pilots can switch these modes and speeds on the transmitter.

FPV Simulator Supported
Before flying the Cetus Pro Quadcopter, beginner pilots can use the LiteRadio 2 SE remote to be used as a joystick controller via USB to a laptop computer to practice flying using FPV simulators like the EREADRONE, LIFTOFF. This is convenient to practice because the battery life of the drone is only four to five minutes.

VR02 FPV Goggles
Get to see what the drone is seeing! With the VR02 FPV Goggles, you’re having a first-person view. It comes with built-in 5.8G 14DBI high-quality antennas, allowing users to receive stable and clear images for long-range flights. It also has an ergonomic design with a foam sponge, and an adjustable headband so it can fit the user's face and head perfectly.
