Know what to expect
This is an updated review after receiving a new drone from BetaFPV. I’ll say that customer service is great from them. I got this kit to learn to fly FPV, the first drone I got was the whole kit from Amazon and the drone itself was plagued with issues. It would yaw out super hard if you pushed it, like >360° yaw washouts. It was like hitting a banana peel on Mario Cart. It would also randomly disarm itself, and that’s how I lost the first drone. I contacted BetaFPV and this is why I’m updating my review. They were very helpful and sent me a new quad with two new batteries. They told me that they would test the drone before sending it and it seems like they did what they said. The new drone operates way better and I’m assuming this is closer to how it’s supposed to be. Just don’t expect this thing to be an FPV racing style drone. It’s what is called a cinewhoop and they are designed to fly smooth, and slower than a freestyle drone. A big part of why my old drone was messing up is because I was expecting too much out of it. I tried to push it to fly fast/smooth and this drone doesn’t like it but I adjusted my flight style and have achieved fast smooth. You have to fly properly though, like using roll and yaw in the turns to prevent the drone yawing out of control. I posted a video on this review showing some of the flight issues on the new drone. After this one disarm it hasn’t done it again. Flying inside is a dream with this drone and outside is a blast as long as the wind isn’t too strong. Just remember that this drone is constantly trying to keep itself level and it will fight you if you push it too hard. This is a good starter kit, just remember it don’t like going fast.

3rd Flight Drone Malfunctioned and Took Off
My 11 year old son saved up all summer to purchase this drone. It came last week and on the third use the drone shot up into the air about 500 feet without him touching anything and flew off! He quickly powered it down, but the drone dropped out of the sky over trees and we have been unable to locate it. Pretty disappointing. My son has owned and operated several drones, so he is not a beginner and was looking forward to having the FPV feature. I would not recommend this drone. Buyer beware.

Really great for newbies!!!
Never flew fpv before , never did sim fpv either, and with about 1 or 2 hours I was already going through all the rooms in my house and make it back to my bedroom. Already looking to build my first drone after 1 night haha. Great product!!!

Controller unuseable in under a week
I received this kit a < a week from this review and the controller shipped with my Aquila is already unusable.This kit would be a total grand slam for someone looking to get into FPV. However, I am giving 2 stars because the controller gimbals are so poor in quality. This is a widely known fact, but I assumed since some reviews were so dated and possibly exaggerating the issue, but after less than 2 days of flying in the simulator using the Literadio2 I started getting some jitter on the bottom of my throttle stick, okay no worries its rarely at the total bottom, except when you cannot arm your drone because the jitter won't let the value hit 0. With a little recalibration I could work past it UNTIL the other gimbal started jittering and as my skill has increased the jitter has made flying in the simulator or with the Aquila impossible. If I wasn't prepared to purchase a real controller this issue might be enough to dissuade me from continuing to learn how to pilot FPV.The goggles and drone are both great. I have crashed the drone on every surface of my house and it is a little scratched up but holding together, and the video quality on the goggles is better than I expected. I just wished that the controller was as solid. I'm now stuck coming out of pocket 100+ dollars for a controller to continue eliminating any savings gained by going with a bundle.

Nice kit, but falls short – Literally
This is a super nice All-Inclusive kit, butâ¦The camera does not adjust well in different lighting conditions. Itâs very dark in many instances.The drone will change channels when I land, even if I do a touch and go. This makes the video feed drop and I need to scan channels real quick.Also, I got one bad battery out of the six that I purchased.And the worst issue, while flying, the drone will randomly unarm during flight. This makes the drone fall out of the sky. For this reason, I simply do not fly very high, and never over any water puddles. Iâm afraid of destroying it from the impact, or water damage. I have confirmed Iâm not touching the Arm switch at all and itâs still happening. Iâve checked the cable connections on the board as recommended by BetaFPV, but itâs still happening. Itâs a bummer, because I am using this to get my mind off things while Iâm going through treatments and surgeries for a heart issue. I was hoping to relax more than Iâm able to.Itâs a great design, but falls short in real life.

Direct hit on camera will knock out vtx
I love this as my first Fpv drone but I let my son fly and one 180 roll in too the ground and not more video. So please keep that one part in mind but flyâs like a dream And larger frame drops are no problem. No audio from my video but definitely getting another one (for me) !!!
