BETAFPV - Meteor75 Pro O4

Meteor75 Pro is a beast. Preferably get a charger that is better than the stock checker/charger the meteor comes with. For goggles, you can check Skyzone Cobra SD, I have the Cobra X and I like them very much as they can be powered with external battery/cable. You can also use power bank to power them with usb-c. I believe that the only differences between X and SD is that SD have lower resolution and SD do not record DVR at 60 frames.

Slight counter-arguments: Beginner doesn't mean cheap. Of course it naturally makes sense to go for cheap on the thing that you are going to fly around and inevitably crash and break, but for the goggles, it may be a better choice to invest in a premium set of analogue goggles. You get better vision and should you want to exit the hobby if you decide it isn't for you, you're still able to sell them with very little depreciation as there are many people who've purchased cheap goggles that are looking to upgrade. Buying a premium radio isn't going to enhance too much of your experience at the start, so I'd agree with your choice, but the goggles will, so while the ev800d's are certainly a good choice on the cheaper end, looking at something like the Skyzone O4X or Pros may be worth going for. Alternatively, one might consider investing in the HDZero goggles with a full analogue setup as this will then give them options to fly HDZero in the future without any additional large purchases, or another option could be to get the DJI Goggles V2 (which are incredibly cheap on ebay), getting the BDI adapter and an analogue module, and then having the option to fly any DJI O3 quad (again without purchases). Analogue on any of these goggles is significantly better than the EV800D's. Indoor tinywhoops I'd also recommend the Air65 at this time. I'd argue that it isn't durable enough, but this is offset by the cost (it's really cheap!) and even if you opted to buy a more durable 65mm (which would probably fly worse and be heavier therefore crash harder), you're still better off just buying the air65 and if it does suffer a catastrophic failure, then buying a new one isn't too bad. Outdoors however, I'd probably recommend getting the Meteor75 Pro. While the Air75 is newer, lighter and probably flies slightly better, the Meteor75 Pro is a fantastic quad, more durable (in my opinion) and the package often comes with a couple of bats, a 1S charger (and more importantly voltage checker), and a few other bits and pieces. The Meteor75 pro can take significant hits and I'd also say that repairing it is easier. The most common issue with the 75Pro is the antenna getting knocked out of the little heatshrink on the VTX and then getting disconnected. I think this is probably a better trade-off than the UFL connector issues that the Air75 has, as well as the canopy being... well... one of those. Maybe they've fixed the UFL issues or maybe they haven't, but still, if I was starting again I'd go for the Meteor75 Pro over the Air75. The only difference would be if I planned to fly both inside and out with it, then I'd go with the Air75. But yeah, to be clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your suggestions. They are solid choices!

the meteor 75 pro my reasons: - the frame's a tank that can take a good amount of beating - it genuinely has really good control authority - the c03 camera is one of the best looking tinywhoop cameras for analog - it's analog. you beat the hell out of it and it repairs/replacements doesnt cost too much - it's got a good following. pilots like butterflyfpv has extensive mods on it and UAVTech also did a video on PID changes. - really nice flight times with 450 to 550 1s batteries that are cheap - the new matrix aio is pretty good but even the cross f4 on the old 75 pro was fine. I was gonna mark the m03 vtx as a negative but the matrix has an inbuilt one. as long as you keep it cool and fly on lower power outputs, it should last a while. - really great for cruising and can handle a bit of wind - pretty sure spares are available in many places - I think the new one comes with motor connectors which is good for beginners and you can remove that when you're comfortable with soldering. disadvantages: - betafpv shipping time - hard to fly Indoors as a beginner - not something you take pictures with. damn I should've read first. feels like you just wanna get footage. that's cinewhoops

I got the Meteor75 pro o4 for 175€ and n3 goggles for 202€. The penetration is amazing indoors with the o4 and (at least for bigger houses) the 75 size is fine. I currently fly mainly indoors because northern Germany (especially in the fall and winter) has lots of wind which makes it not a great experience flying outdoors. AliExpress with the codes was the cheapest option for most of my gear.

I started this hobby in June now I have 6. But I checked all the boxes. 2x dji Fpv, a pavo 20 pro 04, meteor 75 pro 04, a 5" jb kit and a tinyhawk 2 freestyle. Integra goggles and Aomway commander v1 analog goggles.and a bunch of batteries. They grow like weeds, that feed on money. 😆 🤣 😂

Great recommendations all around, but I would say spend a bit more and invest in good goggles if you know you will stick to this hobby medium-to-long term. I tried two different low-end cheap box goggles from friends and it made me hesitant to get into analog (started with walksnail). But based on SchizoFPV's recommendation, I got myself a skyzone 04O pro with lumenier axii 2 omni/patch (RHCP) and it makes me want to fly analog everyday! Comfortable, portable, easy to use, and decent DVR (compared to the box goggles). You pay a premium up front but its worth it. I also have the radiomaster pocket and LOVE it. Will get the AG01 gimbles soon to upgrade the sticks. I have all three of the betafpv air65, air75, and meteor75 Pro. They are all AWESOME, and each serve a specific purpose. Air65 is incredibly precise and agile indoors (lower the cam angle and add expo to the rates), air75 is a raaaapid boi and soo much fun doing trippy spins around city architecture, and the meteor75 Pro is a freestyle juggernaut that I cannot wait to dive skyscrapers with come spring time. Don't want to turn this into a shameless self-promotional plug, but if you're curious about the 04O dvr quality and those quads, you can see on my IG page: [https://www.instagram.com/ksauce.fpv](https://www.instagram.com/ksauce.fpv)

This. Betafpv already has an 04 unit Meteor75 Pro. The original 75 pro was one of the most highly recommended whoop I've seen too.

quick question guys, I have a Meteor75pro O4 lite. im planning to get me a cinelog 30 v3, w/out the vtx if possible. could I use my 04 lite instead of getting a pro, will it fit?

meteor 75 is a pretty good option,i fly it indoors mostly it just takes some getting used to

I wouldn’t fly a 75 in the house. It’s just not fun and it can break things a lot easier than a 65.

I tried a 75 indoors for my first nonSIM flight. I flew straight into a window and cracked it. That’s why I wouldn’t tell a beginner to fly a 75 indoors. 😂
