FPV Set for Beginners – Drone, Radio Transmitter, FPV Goggles

RTF set for beginners - (RTF – ready to fly) is a complete set for analog FPV flying. It includes an assembled BetaFPV Meteor 75 Pro drone with an ELRS receiver, a Radiomaster Pocket ELRS RC transmitter and DMKR 008D Pro FPV goggles. The set also includes batteries for both the drone and transmitter, a charger and spare propellers, so it contains everything needed to get started and is especially suitable for beginner pilots. The small 1S drone with ducted propellers is suitable for first FPV flights at home, in the garden or in the park. The transmitter with ELRS 2.4GHz protocol and goggles with 5.8GHz reception can later also be used with other drones equipped with an ELRS receiver and analog video transmitter. The set components are supplied separately packaged, so before the first flight the drone must be paired (bound) with the transmitter and switches for arming and flight modes must be configured.

Meteor 75 Pro is a 1S Tinywhoop with a motor-to-motor diagonal of 80.8mm and Gemfan 45mm tri-blade propellers. Thanks to the ducted propellers and low weight of approximately 30.5g without a battery, it is relatively safe to fly even indoors or near people. It is based on the BETAFPV Matrix 1S 5v1 board, which combines a flight controller, ESCs, an ELRS receiver operating at 2.4GHz and an analog video transmitter. The flight controller uses an STM32G473 processor, BMI270 gyro and 16MB memory for blackbox, while the ESCs run Bluejay firmware. Power is provided by 1102 22000Kv motors with a 1.5mm shaft. The motors are connected via connectors, so replacement does not require soldering.

The image is captured by a C03 camera with a 1/3" sensor and 1200TVL resolution (FOV 160°). The integrated video transmitter has adjustable output power of 25/100/200/400mW and is controlled via Smart Audio, allowing the channel and output power to be changed from the transmitter via OSD. The antenna is linear and connects via a u.FL connector.

Recommended batteries are 1S with a capacity of 450-550mAh and a BT2.0 connector. The drone package includes two 550mAh batteries and a 1S battery charger. Flight time is up to 6 minutes depending on flying style. The battery slides into a 16.7x6.3mm compartment in the frame.

DMKR 008D Pro FPV goggles are box goggles with a 4.3" IPS display with 800x480 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is sufficient for analog video. Reception is handled by a dual 40-channel receiver in the 5.8GHz band including RaceBand, which selects the stronger signal from two antennas. Circularly polarized antennas are included and connect via RP-SMA connectors. The goggles support DVR recording to a microSD card up to 32GB (FAT32); the card is not included. They are powered by an integrated 2000mAh battery with a runtime of 2-3 hours, charged via USB. The goggles come in a rigid zip case.

The Radiomaster Pocket ELRS RC transmitter is a compact transmitter with an integrated ExpressLRS 2.4GHz module. ExpressLRS is an advanced open-source RC system with long range, low latency and a high refresh rate. The transmitter has Hall-effect gimbals with removable stick ends that can be stored in the side of the transmitter during transport, and a foldable antenna. It offers two latching two-position switches, two three-position switches, an SE button and a potentiometer. It runs EdgeTX firmware, is configured via a monochrome LCD display and has a Nano bay for an external transmitter module at the rear. It is powered by two 18650 Li-ion cells that charge directly in the transmitter via USB-C. The second USB-C connector is used to connect to a computer, where the transmitter works as a controller for FPV simulators.

The set includes two EVE INR18650-35V 3500mAh Reclaimed cells for the transmitter. The Reclaimed designation means that the cells come from battery packs with defective welds, have never been charged or discharged, and each is tested for internal resistance. There may be traces of spot welding on the cell terminals.
