BETAFPV - Cetus Pro FPV Kit

The cetus pro is great for beginners as it has barometer and a distance sensor on the bottom. Makes throttle control much easier for the newbies

For sure. I used them for a while. Best upgrade was the goggles. I actually loved the Cetus pro except the crappy range. I bought a Cetus pro frame and put better components and still love it.

What’s your goals here? Learn to fly FPV? Are you interested in flying indoors/outdoors? Generic recommendation: Cetus X or Cetus Pro. It’s a platform for learning. Once you’ve learned and can fly acro mode, most of the other drones mentioned here make sense.

I would go for a betafpv air or cetus kit. IMO the neo is too much for a 10 year old. With something that can fly miles away up to 40 mph it's less of a toy and more of a tool. Get the kid a tiny whoop FPV so they can fly it whenever indoors or outdoors without you needing to worry about them getting in trouble. Betafpv's are also way cheaper and easier to replace if they fly it into a pool or something. EDIT: This is slightly biased because teenagers flying drones around other people's windows has ruined local flying in my neighborhood. Please be responsible if you get them a dji

I wouldn’t recommend the Cetus kit, the controller is awful, the goggles are bad, and the drone is meh. The BetaFPV air65 and 75 are quite good though. For the controller, something from Radiomaster or Jumper with ELRS.

Don’t get the Cetus kit, the drone help community I’m in has seen many people being pushed out of the hobby because of how much the literadio sucks, and the drone itself is quite meh. The BetaFPV air65 and 75 are better options. But yeah, get a sim first. You should train like you fly and fly like you train, so use the same radio controller you’d use for the real drone. I recommend the Radiomaster pocket or boxer. Specifically the ELRS version, not cc2500 or 4-in-1.
