BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II – Compact FPV Micro Drone with an ELRS Receiver

BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II is a whoop-style FPV micro drone with a 70 mm wheelbase, suitable for indoor flying, practising precise manoeuvres, and freestyle flight. An upgraded propulsion system, a frame with propeller guards, and an integrated ExpressLRS receiver provide a compact foundation for a digital FPV drone setup.

The ELRS (w/o O4 Wide) version is supplied without the DJI O4 Wide camera and video transmission module. It is suitable for users who want to install a compatible video system separately or reuse existing DJI O4 equipment.

Updated Frame and 35 mm Propellers

BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II has a 70 mm wheelbase, increased from 66 mm on the previous generation. Refined propeller guards and support structures help reduce air resistance and support stable flight. Protective rings around the propellers are particularly useful when practising in confined spaces.

The drone uses Gemfan 1409 three-blade propellers with a diameter of 35 mm. Paired with the upgraded motors, they are designed to provide smooth thrust control and precise changes of direction.

0802 Freestyle Motors for Smooth Control

The propulsion system features 0802 Freestyle brushless motors (2026) with a speed constant of 22,000 KV. The Freestyle version prioritises smooth control and strong torque even at lower throttle settings. This helps pilots manage thrust through slow turns, altitude adjustments, and narrow passages.

The motor stators use 0.10 mm laminations to help reduce magnetic losses and heat generation. An improved rotor housing and reinforced shaft enhance crash resistance. The motors have a 1.0 mm shaft diameter, which must be matched to the mounting hole when selecting replacement propellers.

Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD Flight Controller

At the heart of BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II is the Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD flight controller, which combines a flight controller, electronic speed controllers, and an ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver on a single board. This design reduces the need for separate components and connecting wires.

An STM32G473 processor runs at 168 MHz and supports Betaflight control functions and flight tuning. The electronic speed controllers support 12 A continuous current and up to 18 A peak current. A 5 V / 3 A voltage regulator supplies power to digital video equipment.

Motor connectors and an SH1.0-6Pin digital video port simplify the installation and maintenance of compatible components. The 3IN1 HD version is designed for digital FPV systems and does not include an analogue video OSD chip.

ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz Control Link

The integrated serial ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver supports compatible ELRS radio transmitters or transmitter modules. It communicates with the flight controller via the CRSF protocol, and its firmware can be updated independently of the flight controller firmware.

ELRS handles the drone’s control link. Viewing the FPV feed also requires an installed camera, a video transmission module, and FPV goggles compatible with that video system.

Canopy II Camera Cover and Vibration Damping

The included Canopy II for O4 Air Unit camera cover is compatible with DJI O4 and O4 Wide cameras. Its mounting system uses four vibration dampers to help reduce vibration transmitted from the frame to the camera and the resulting image distortion, commonly known as the jello effect.

With a compatible camera installed, the camera tilt angle can be adjusted from 15° to 35°. This allows the viewing angle to be adapted for both relaxed flying and faster manoeuvres. A four-screw camera mount helps maintain the selected position, while the removable cover simplifies access to the camera and its mounts.

1S Battery System and Setup

BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II uses a BT2.0 battery connector, and the manufacturer recommends a LAVA II 1S 480 mAh battery. The battery slot measures 16.1 × 6.3 mm. Actual flight time depends on the installed video system, battery condition, overall drone weight, and flying style.

The PNP package includes the drone, a Canopy II camera cover, spare propellers, connecting cables, an adapter, a 5.8 GHz video antenna, vibration dampers, and mounting screws. A flight battery, charger, radio transmitter, FPV goggles, camera, and video transmission module must be purchased separately.

Before the first FPV flight, install the video system, bind the ELRS receiver to the radio transmitter, and check that the control channels, motors, and propellers operate correctly.
