BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II – Compact FPV Micro Drone with DJI O4 Wide Video System

BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II is a whoop-style FPV micro drone with a 70 mm wheelbase, combining a DJI O4 Wide digital video system, an ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz control link, and upgraded brushless motors. Its design with propeller guards is suitable for indoor flying, practising precise manoeuvres, and freestyle flight.

The ELRS (with O4 Wide) version includes a pre-installed DJI O4 Wide camera and video transmission module. This allows you to view the drone’s camera feed through compatible FPV goggles and record detailed flight videos.

DJI O4 Wide – Wide Field of View and 4K Video Recording

The DJI O4 Wide video system offers a 159° field of view and up to 4K/60 fps video recording. The wide viewing angle improves awareness of the drone’s surroundings and captures dynamic footage that shows more of the environment beyond the flight path.

Digital video transmission latency can be as low as 20 milliseconds under suitable conditions. Low latency supports quick reactions based on the camera feed, which is important when navigating turns, obstacles, and narrow passages.

Canopy II and Camera Vibration Damping

The camera is protected by a Canopy II for O4 Air Unit cover, whose mounting system uses four vibration dampers to help reduce vibration transmitted from the frame to the camera. This reduces the likelihood of vibration-induced image distortion, commonly known as the jello effect, and supports smoother footage.

Camera tilt can be adjusted from 15° to 35° to suit your flying style. A lower angle is suitable for relaxed flying, while a higher angle helps maintain a forward view during faster flight when the drone tilts further forward.

A four-screw camera mount helps maintain the selected position during manoeuvres. The removable cover simplifies access to the camera and mounts, making maintenance and vibration damper checks more convenient. Propellers, motors, and mounts must also be in good condition to achieve the best image quality.

0802 Freestyle Motors and Precise Thrust Control

BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro II uses 0802 Freestyle brushless motors (2026) with a speed constant of 22,000 KV. The Freestyle version is tuned for smooth control and strong torque even at lower throttle settings. This helps pilots manage thrust precisely through slow turns, altitude adjustments, and smooth flight paths.

The motor stators use 0.10 mm laminations to help reduce magnetic losses and heat generation. An improved rotor housing and reinforced shaft enhance durability during everyday practice. The motors are paired with Gemfan 1409 three-blade propellers measuring 35 mm in diameter.

Updated 70 mm Frame

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

Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD Flight Controller

At the heart of the drone’s electronics is the Matrix 1S 3IN1 HD flight controller, which combines a flight controller, electronic speed controllers, and an ExpressLRS receiver on a single board. This integrated 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 the digital video system.

Motor connectors and an SH1.0-6Pin digital video port simplify the replacement and maintenance of compatible components. The 3IN1 HD version of the controller is designed for digital FPV systems.

ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz Control Link

The integrated ExpressLRS 2.4 GHz receiver allows the drone to be controlled using a compatible ELRS radio transmitter or transmitter module. The serial receiver communicates with the flight controller via the CRSF protocol, and its firmware can be updated independently of the flight controller firmware.

ELRS transmits control commands, while DJI O4 Wide transmits the camera feed. During setup, bind the drone to a suitable ELRS radio transmitter and link the video system to compatible DJI FPV goggles.

1S Battery and Flight Time

According to the manufacturer’s measurements, flight time reaches approximately 4 minutes and 5 seconds with a LAVA II 1S 480 mAh battery. Actual results depend on flying style, battery condition, and operating conditions. The drone uses a BT2.0 battery connector, and the battery slot measures 16.1 × 6.3 mm.

Package Contents and Setup

The package includes the drone with a DJI O4 Wide video system, spare propellers, vibration dampers, an adapter, a connecting cable, screws, and a DJI O4 user manual. A flight battery, charger, ELRS radio transmitter, and compatible FPV goggles must be purchased separately.

Before the first flight, check that the control channels operate correctly, the propellers are properly installed, and the video system is connected. Betaflight settings allow control response to be adapted to the pilot’s experience and preferred flying style.
