Review on 🚁 BETAFPV Beta65S Tiny Brushed Whoop Drone with Camera - High Performance Indoor FPV Drone for Adults - 7x16mm 19000KV 1S Brushed Motor - Perfect Flying Toys/Gifts for Boys and Girls by Cameron Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice quad but with bad batteries.

This is a good product but mine came with 2 bad batteries. End caps exposed some internal parts. It's dangerous with lipos. (see fig.). I don't want to return the whole product as I have already completed the setup and made some mods. Revain did not allow me to contact the seller and only gave me the option to return the entire product. So all in all only 4 stars. Otherwise this is a good product. I can't tell if this is really for beginners as you have to set it up in the Betaflight configurator before flying, but some YouTube videos can help a newbie through the process. For beginners I would suggest ready to fly BetaFpv starter kit with ths 65s lite, controller, batteries, charger and goggles. Its pretty plug and play. MODE - I made a hole in the canopy for a video antenna supporting the signal. Not sure why they keep sending the video straight through the back because it degrades the signal so much on those whoops. I had to do the same for my 65s lite (see picture). I also had to relocate the receiving antenna because I kept getting failsafe devices at about 10 meters. I replaced the props with Gemfan 1220-4 blades as they are my favorite props for 65mm quads with 0.8mm shafts. The quad itself flies well for brushed motors and with standard propellers the flight time is around 4 minutes. The camera is good for its price. Slightly longer flights are possible with a 350 mAh battery. I use GNB and get very good flight times (available on Amazon). I would recommend this fun flyer to anyone with a little customization experience. I love BetaFpv products. It just has bad batteries.

I would not consider this BNF or even reliable.

From a perspective of a newbie.
