Vancouver Open Regional May Update Video

It's been about a month since I posted any updates about the Vancouver Open Regional Fitness Show I am preparing for. There is usually not a lot to really cover at the beginning since this is going to be a longer prep than last year, about 3.5 months in total. A lot has happened in the last month which has surprised me. My body like last year is really responding to the changes I make getting ready for a show. Better eating, more consistent training and training intensity, and I am trying to get a bit more sleep to help with recovery. Well it is all paying off as I have for sure trimmed up a lot and I am putting on muscle as planned.

At two months out (This coming up Saturday) I will be looking at where I am making some food changes, more than likely I will be increasing my food intake as I have dropped weight a bit too much and at the time I write this post I am sitting around 7-8% body fat, I really do not want to drop much lower than 7% as I still need to add some muscle and getting too lean could slow down muscle growth.

This is a great problem to have and being 2 months out and already within a few percentage points of being show conditioned means the last month when I generally have to cut hard and diet down will be much less stressful on my mind and body.

BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro DJI O4 Air Unit First Flights

I made a First Flights video for my BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro a few weeks back so why not make one for its little brother, the BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro with DJI O4 Air Unit? My Pavo20 Pro has the much higher quality DJI O4 Pro Camera which is a beast. But if I want to fly more discreetly, then a super small 1s drone like the BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro is super tiny and quiet and flies under the radar so to speak. If I did run into someone I'm sure they would be just fine.

Enjoy some of my first flights with the BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro DJI O4 Air Unit...

If you are interested in checking out the BetaFPV Website to see what they have to offer, I would appreciate you using the below link as it is a way for BetaFPV to know that I am sending potential customers their way. That way it will hopefully encourage them to send me some more toys to play with and review:

Whistler Creekside Vacation April 2025 - GetFitOver40

Last week we had a really nice mini vacation (4 nights 5 days) in Whistler BC Canada, we actually stayed in our WorldMark Timeshare Resort just outside of Whistler Village located in Creekside. It's a really nice loft condo on the side of the mountain overlooking Alpha Lake and it sleeps up to 8 people so we did have a few guests come and stay with us for some of the time.

One of our favorite things to do in Whistler area is ride around on electric vehicles, my wife usually rides the eBike and I usually ride my EUC but this time I also brought my Electric Mountainboard and had a lot of fun on that one too!

So you are going to see a lot of trail riding recorded by a bunch of different cameras, most from my HoverAir X1 ProMax AI flying selfie drone, some from my Meta Glasses and I also flew some of my FPV drones. My Avata 2, my BetaFPV Meteor65 Pro 04, and my BetaFPV Pavo Pico with DJI 04 Air Unit.

If you want to see what the trails in Whistler look like there is a lot of that going on in this video, mainly we stuck to the paved forest trails but we did ride a loop to Lost Lake and then to Green Lake which is more dirt and gravel.

Hope you enjoy the beauty of Whistler and Creekside.

BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro DJI 04 Pro First Flights

Pretty sure I found my favorite all around FPV Drone, the BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro with DJI 04 Pro Air Unit Camera. Not only is the video quality amazing from the DJI 04 Pro Air Unit Camera, the BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro can really fly! It has speed, stability, protection with the prop guards, it can freestyle and it only weighs in at around 160 or so grams with a battery.

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.
