BetaFPV Cetus X Betaflight Kit Full Review

Right off the top, I want to thank BetaFPV for sending me the BetaFPV Cetus X Betaflight Kit for me to test out and review. I am not being paid to make this review but I also did not have to pay for this FPV Drone Kit out of my own money. That said I have full control of what I say in this review and by the end of it, you will know if I am a fan or not...

I split this review into three sections. Section number 1 I do an unboxing and go over what you get in this kit, talking about some of the key points but not going into crazy detail. For the most part this review has a lot of tips and personal knowledge I have learned so far in my FPV journey, so hopefully you can get a bit of a head start by watching this video.

In section number 2, I fly the BetaFPV Cetus X first with the camera angle set low, which is best for slower more controlled explorational type of flying. I then crank the camera angle up and get things moving a lot faster where I have a little bit more fun flying more aggressive and throwing in a few FPV moves.

In my final section number 3, I take a look at each component in the BetaFPV Cetus X Betaflight Kit and talk about the good and some of the bad for each item. If after watching my review for the BetaFPV Cetus X Betaflight Kit you want to pick one up for yourself or even checkout BetaFPV and see what else they offer than I would appreciate you using my link as this lets BetaFPV know I sent you and if I manage to get them some decent traffic then hopefully they keep sending me more stuff to review as I love flying FPV Drones of all shapes and sizes.

HoverAir X1 ProMax with Beacon and Controllers - Initial Thoughts and Flights

I am making this video for both my channels (GetFitOver40 & Replica Airguns) since I will be using the HoverAir X1 ProMax in my Video making process to capture video in a way that only an AI Drone can. I do like to share with my audiences some of the tech I use behind the scenes to make the videos a bit more interesting.

There is a ton to talk about and show when it comes to the HoverAir X1 ProMax which is why this video is a bit on the longer side. I really wanted to talk about what I like about this amazing flying video system, and of course show the super high quality video it takes.

The purpose of this video is not so much to go over all the specifications and details, or to compare it to other similar products, but rather to go over what I like about it, and why I decided to get one for myself. About a year ago I ordered the HoverAir X1 Pro when it was being crowdfunded, but I backed out of my order when the DJI Neo came out, mainly because the DJI Neo was first to market, and it can also fly in true FPV mode which really appealed to me. I am glad I got the Neo as it has been so much fun, and will be keeping it mainly for its FPV flying and versatility.

Why did I decide to get myself the HoverAir X1 ProMax? There is really nothing out there right now that can take as high quality video (8k) in such a small and portable package. I love the AI flying modes but it is also nice you can use the Beacon with the Joysticks to control it just like a regular Drone.

For me it was the ultra high video quality, the faster tracking speeds, and the ability to use it like a standard drone since all my other drones are more or less FPV drones. Oh yah, I also got a crazy deal on it over on Marketplace (About half price).

Turned 56 Years Old - 3 Months Out From the Vancouver Open

So I turned 56 this past Saturday April 5th. This birthday thing is starting to get old, a bit like me I guess. To be honest, I really don't care all that much as long as I feel good and I'm taking care of myself and the way I look. My modeling days are over, well they never really ever began, my bodybuilding days still seem to be hanging in there but my health is first and foremost.

As of April the 5th, I am three months and one week out from the Vancouver Open Regionals, the real contest prep will start three months out but I am on track for sure. I figure I am somewhere in the single digit body fat percentage, probably the mid to high 9% which means I need to lose around 10 pounds of fat and put on 5 pounds of muscle. This is pretty standard contest prep numbers for me and three months gives me lots of time to get there. I am right around 195 pounds currently so adding 5 pounds of muscle and losing 10 pounds of fat should put me right at 190 pounds, this will be my weigh in weight which will go up a bit as I carb up to probably around 195 pounds on stage. That's the plan for now but we are a ways out so the actual numbers may be a little bit different.
