Bullet Points

Lightweight for 52.57g (Walksnail) and 48.30g (HDZero) whoop drone, this new 2S whoop drone with Walksnail HD VTX or HDZero VTX gives pilots an immersive flight experience and impactful visuals.
New frame with the low profile of the battery slot, the drone's gravity center is reduced and improved the sense of compactness, perfectly enhancing the trust-to-weight ratio. It is durable and light enough, giving pilots a good balance of weight and a nice punch on a 2S battery.
Featuring an upgraded propulsion system and a larger capacity battery. Meteor85 uses GF 2015 2-Blade props with 1103 11000KV motors, which gives full play to the efficiency of the power. Combined with a LAVA 2S 450mAh 75C Battery, Metero85 can fly up to 6 mins (HDZero) and 5 mins (Walksnail).
Adopt with injection molding technique, this canopy is 2.50g ultralight weight and is more durable, anti-ruin, and heat-resistant, providing good protection for the whoop drone.
Reserve solder pads for the external receivers with UART1 and UART2 on F4 1-2S 12A FC board. The SPI ELRS 2.4G and SPI Frsky version can be used as PNP quadcopter.

HD Digital VTX System

There are two HD versions to choose from. Based on Walksnail Avatar, the Walksnail Avatar Mini HD VTX also uses H.265 high-efficiency video coding, an industry-leading technology, providing 1080P/60FPS image recording with 22ms ultra-low latency. It is specially designed for 3.1-5V power input and 10g lightweight, which is compatible with Meteor85 whoop drone. Build-in 8 GB storage, the Avatar Mini HD VTX has the capability of recording HD video without interference from capacity and exporting video by USB cable. Besides, with Canvas Mode on Avatar Mini HD VTX, Betaflight full OSD display is supported and can be adjusted easily by remote control.

HDZero Nano Lite Camera is designed for feather-lite drones where every gram counts. At a weight as low as 1.5g, combined with the new Whoop Lite VTX at 4.5g with 0.4g dipole antenna enables a world’s-first production digital FPV solution of about 7g. The HDZero Whoop lite Bundle supports 1-3S power input with 25mW/200mW RF power and is capable of recording in 720P/60FPS with super low latency of less than 19ms. What's more, pilots can activate and configure its OSD function on Betaflight Configurator.

Flight Controller

The latest F4 1-2S 12A flight controllers are applied to all BNF versions of Meteor85. Both SPI ELRS 2.4G and SPI Frsky can be used as PNP due to extra solder pads for the external receiver. The SPI Frsky version also can be switched to the Futaba SFHSS protocol through the Betaflight configurator. The ESC on the new board powered by BB51 hardware comes with Bluejay 48k ESC firmware, allowing 1103 11000KV motors to give full play to the efficiency of power. We update the gyro to BOSH BMI270 for better performance and stability since the new F4 1-2S 12A FC.

Motors & Propellers

Equipped with 1103 11000KV Brushless Motor and Gemfan 2015 2-blade props. 1103 motors are designed for 2S quadcopters with incredible power, smooth and quiet operation, and light enough. Meteor adopts 2015 2-blade props, which are lighter and durable enough, offering pilots a high-efficiency flight experience.

Injection Molded Canopy for HD Camera

Micro Canopy for HD Camera is specially designed to be compatible with Walksnail or HDZero HD digital VTX and has an adjustable camera lens of 0-45°. With the injection molding technique, the canopy is very durable and flexible for crash resistant. Besides, the hollow-out design not only reduces the influence of heat on electronic parts but also is available to be armed with decorative parts we prepared.

Props out

The Meteor85 drone comes with "props out" in default. Why do we need "props out" direction?

Default Betaflight props direction, quadcopter dips, and "washes out" in hard corners. With reversed props or "props out", no more dipping even in hardest cornering.
