![]() ![]() I also got some latency to the controls when I am flying from the next room, it seems to be radio receiver (RX) signal can be a little unreliable when there’s obstacle in between you and the drone, video is totally clear though. It’s not too bad, just a little bit distracting, still totally flyable. I was getting some interference in my video feed, which appears to be electrical noise from the motors (only appears after I arm the motors and gets worse after take off). It only gets faster with higher speed, and it’s way too fast in HIGH speed so I am kind of stuck with MID speed :) It’s still flyable after some getting used to. Yaw rate was a bit too high for my taste (even at SLOW speed), and there’s no way to lower it. I get about 4 minutes to 4:30 flight time on a fully charged LiPo, which is pretty decent. On my first flight, the drone was drifting a lot, calibrating the accelerometer on level ground fixed that. As mentioned it’s quite heavy for a tiny whoop, therefore it’s not super powerful, but still has more than enough speed for a beginner. The Cetus is not designed for flight performance but around safety and ease of use for beginners. The other safety feature is auto-disarm upon crashing. Sometimes you can be carried away by the excitement of FPV and forget about it :) That still happens to me sometimes after all these years :) Read about how to handle LiPo batteries here. It’s almost like a DJI camera drone.įor an experienced pilot this can be counter-productive as we would prefer to land somewhere near ourselves and not have to walk across the room to pick it up whenever battery is low :) But for beginners this is a great feature as it makes sure your battery is not over-discharged and damaged. When battery runs low (at about 3.3V) it just lands itself automatically by slowly descending and disarming. ![]() ![]() The Cetus micro drone has some unique safety features that you don’t normally see in other RTF kits. At the bottom left, you have battery voltage and Timer. Essentially what it does is changing the rates – how fast and sensitive the drone reacts to your stick movement.įlight mode and Speed are displayed at the lower right corner of the screen. There are also three speed levels: slow, mid and fast. It basically replaces throttle management with altitude control, making the drone even easier to control. And if you throttle down it will descent. if you throttle up, it will ascend and if you re-centre throttle stick it will stop. It has sensors to detect the height, and it will stay at the same altitude if you leave your throttle stick at the centre (altitude hold). The Normal mode is pretty interesting, it’s almost like flying a DJI camera drone.
