BetaFPV Matrix 1S – Compact 5-in-1 Flight Controller for Professional 1S FPV Drone Builds

Everything You Need on a Single Circuit Board

BetaFPV Matrix 1S is a modern 5-in-1 flight controller that integrates a flight controller, electronic speed controller (ESC), 5.8 GHz analog video transmitter (VTX), ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver, and OSD into a single compact PCB. This all-in-one design significantly reduces wiring, simplifies the drone building process, and helps keep the entire system lightweight and reliable.

BetaFPV Matrix 1S Brushless FC G4 5IN1 V2 (Soldering Required) is the soldering version, designed for users who want to build the most compact, lightweight, and durable 1S FPV drone possible. Solder pads provide more reliable electrical connections while giving builders greater flexibility when positioning components.

Powerful G4 Flight Controller

At the heart of the flight controller is the advanced STM32G473 processor, delivering significantly more computing power than previous F4-based solutions. Thanks to its faster processing capabilities, Betaflight runs more smoothly, control signals are processed with lower latency, and the drone responds more accurately and quickly to pilot inputs.

The integrated OSD allows essential flight information—including battery voltage, timer, RSSI, and other telemetry data—to be displayed directly in FPV goggles without requiring additional modules.

Integrated 12A ESC for High-Performance Motors

BetaFPV Matrix 1S features a four-channel 12A brushless ESC supporting BLHeli_S firmware as well as 1S LiPo and LiHV batteries. This level of performance makes it suitable for high-performance micro Whoop motors used in both racing and freestyle drones.

Its high current capability ensures stable operation during aggressive throttle changes while maintaining smooth and consistent flight characteristics in demanding flying conditions.

Integrated ELRS Receiver and 400 mW Video Transmitter

The flight controller includes a built-in ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver, providing ultra-low latency control, excellent range, and a reliable radio link even in challenging environments.

The board also features a 5.8 GHz analog video transmitter with a maximum output power of 400 mW. Adjustable transmission power allows pilots to optimize settings for both indoor and outdoor flights while maintaining excellent video quality and signal reliability.

Durable Construction and Simplified Assembly

The flight controller is built on a high-quality 1 mm thick PCB, improving structural rigidity and helping reduce the effects of vibration on onboard electronics. Thanks to its highly integrated design, wiring is minimized, resulting in a cleaner, lighter, and more reliable drone build.

The Soldering Required version uses soldered motor and power connections instead of plug-in connectors, reducing weight, eliminating unnecessary connectors, and improving long-term reliability under demanding flying conditions.

Technical Specifications

BetaFPV Matrix 1S is built around an STM32G473 flight controller with an integrated 5-in-1 architecture. The board incorporates a four-channel 12A BLHeli_S ESC, a 5.8 GHz analog VTX with up to 400 mW output power, a built-in ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver, and integrated OSD functionality. The flight controller supports 1S LiPo and LiHV batteries and is designed specifically for micro Whoop FPV drones. A durable 1 mm PCB improves reliability while reducing the impact of vibration on sensitive electronics. This version is labeled Soldering Required, meaning the motors and required electrical connections must be soldered during installation.

Why Choose BetaFPV Matrix 1S?

If you want to build the lightest, most compact, and highest-performing 1S FPV drone possible, BetaFPV Matrix 1S is an outstanding choice. A powerful G4 processor, integrated 12A ESC, ExpressLRS receiver, up to 400 mW video transmitter, and highly integrated 5-in-1 design reduce component count, simplify assembly, and improve overall reliability. As a genuine BetaFPV Matrix 1S flight controller, it delivers outstanding performance, low weight, and full compatibility with modern 1S micro Whoop FPV systems.
