Detailed Information

Key Features

  • A new era of 2S whoop, Meteor85 could fly real acro, like a larger quad, but is still safe enough, light enough, and durable enough to fly anywhere, especially suitable for racing.
  • New frame with the low profile of the battery slot, the drone’s gravity center is reduced and improved the sense of compactness, perfectly enhancing the trust-to-weight ratio. It is durable and light enough with a weight of 43.85g, giving pilots a good balance of weight and a nice punch on a 2S battery.
  • Featuring an upgraded propulsion system and a larger capacity battery. Meteor85 uses GF 2015 2-Blade props with 1103 11000KV motors, which gives full play to the efficiency of the power. Combined with a 450mAh 2S battery, it can fly up to 7 mins flight time.
  • Built-in 2g ultralight weight Caddx Ant camera. This camera has a good performance for FPV whoop drones.
  • Adopt with injection molding technique, this canopy is 2.50g ultralight weight and is more durable, anti-ruin, and heat-resistant, providing good protection for the whoop drone.
  • Reserve solder pads for the external receivers with UART1 and UART2 on F4 1-2S 12A FC board. The SPI ELRS 2.4G and SPI Frsky version can be used as PNP quadcopter.

Flight Controller

The latest F4 1-2S 12A flight controllers are now used in all BNF versions of the Meteor85. Both the SPI ELRS 2.4G and SPI Frsky versions are able to be used as PNP, thanks to extra solder pads for the external receiver. The SPI Frsky version can also be switched to the Futaba SFHSS protocol via the Betaflight configurator. The new board features an ESC powered by BB51 hardware, with Bluejay 48k ESC firmware, allowing the 1103 11000KV motors to deliver maximum power efficiency. The gyro has also been updated to the BOSH BMI270 for improved performance and stability.

New Design for Frame and Canopy

The new Meteor85 whoop frame features a low profile battery slot that is designed to be used with BETAFPV 450mAh 2S batteries, providing a better trust-to-weight ratio and making it easier to protect the battery during landings. The frame also utilizes a BETAFPV Micro Canopy for HD Camera, which has a hollow-out design to allow for increased airflow and reduced heat impact on electronic components. This canopy can also be used with the M03 Analog VTX. The improved trust-to-weight ratio allows pilots to fly real acro and experience the convenience, safety, and speed of a whoop-sized frame.
