BetaFPV’s Aquila20 HD FPV Kit is an all-in-one bundle that pairs the Aquila20 HD whoop with the LiteRadio 4 SE and the rest of what you need to start flying digital FPV out of the box. The kit is aimed at people who don’t want to source drone, radio, goggles and batteries separately and would rather pay one price and start flying. Is the convenience worth it?
The kit was sent to me by BetaFPV for review. They had no input on this article, they however did answer a lot of questions that I had and tried to help out with some of the issues I was having.

BetaFPV has released the next iteration of their game-pad styled radio - the LiteRadio 4. It is the successor to the LiteRadio 3 and comes in at a price point of $44.99 - making it once again one of the cheapest integrated ExpressLRS radios on the market. But is it worth the price tag? Let’s have a look.
The LiteRadio 4 was sent to me by BetaFPV as part of the Aquila20 HD kit, but I was so excited about the radio that I thought I’d write a separate article for it.

BetaFPV has released a new line of LiPos with BT2.0 connectors - the Lava line up. The name is hilarious and my first thought was: Holy shit, those being BetaFPV batteries, I hope the name does no say it all. Don’t get me wrong: I am a big fanboy of everything BetaFPV, really like their RTFs - generally most of their products have been decent. If not, they usually try to do the right thing. But their batteries have always been atrocious.

The ISDT K2 AIR is a two channel (LiPo) battery charger with a lot of very useful (and not so useful) features, let’s have a look, why you might want to consider it as your next battery charger. The pros, the cons and everything else you might want to know.
If you are looking for a 1S charger, have a look at WhoopStor 3 - IMHO this is the best charger for 1S batteries that you can get right now.

It has only been 3 months and BetaFPV has a new radio in the pipelines - the Lite Radio 3. It comes in two options: Integrated ELRS or integrated FrSky D8/D16 RF module. One thing is for sure, with a price point of $59.99 it is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest option for an integrated ExpressLRS radio, but did they fix any issues that were raised with the BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 SE? Lets have a look.
This radio is available with internal ExpressLRS or FrskyD8/16 module. I got the ExpressLRS version which will be subject of this review.

The TuneRC EZ 1-2S AIO board is the first - and hopefully not last - flight-controller manufactured by TuneRC. This one does some things different from all the other ones. From what I understand it was manufactured to the specifications of Bob Roogi (KababFPV) - he is even selling it in his own store.
This usually is a good indicator that the product is of good quality, otherwise Bob would not vouch for it with his name.

This is the second part of BetaFPVs ELRS lineup. As mentioned in my previous post, BetaFPV released two additional AIO flight controllers with ELRS receivers on board. Those boards are obviously a great fit for the BetaFPV ELRS Lite Radio. But can be used with any 2.4GHz ELRS transmitter.
The two flight controllers have a very similar feature set, but slightly different implementation and form factor. I will first look at the differences and why you might chose one over the other and then look into similarities of those flight controllers.

The Darwin 69 - also called “Baby Ape” - is DarwinFPV’s next super cheap release - as the name suggests, it only costs $69. That is very little money for a basically complete 3” micro quadcopter. But at this price point, is it even worth getting it? Usually such super low price quads only have one up-side: the price.
I have had a couple of DarwinFPV products and I generally am really surprised at what they can put together for such a low price. When buying at this price point, one thing has to be clear: You will not get the newest, brand named components. DarwinFPV probably buys older parts in bulk and then throws something together that will match a certain price point.

It was only a matter of time until the first ELRS only radio hit the market - and actually it came as I was expecting it: BetaFPV adapted their Lite Radio 2 - to be more precise - the Lite Radio 2 SE for ELRS.
This radio looks and feels exactly like the BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 which I have reviewed before. The main difference from the Lite Radio 2 to the SE (second edition) is the integrated battery: it comes with a 1000mAh 1S battery which can be charged via USB C. Further, the wiring has been updated and the connections to the gimbals look much more rigid.

When I first saw the Baby Nazgul, I knew I had to try it. I am a big fan of the iFlight Alpha A65 and I have heard people raving so much about the 5” Nazgul, that the Baby Nazgul just has to be awesome - right,… right?
Let’s first address the elephant in the room - quite literally: This micro copter weighs in at 29.1g with CRSF receiver, if you add a 300mAh GNB battery the weight adds up to 37g. Without the CRSF receiver it weighs in at 26.9g - still 3.1g more than its whoop counter-part the iFlight Alpha A65 which weighs in at 23.8g without a battery.
