I am not flying as often as I would like. Consequently, I am not editing flight footage either. Testing the Beta85X HD was a great excuse to practice a bit on both ;)
My Beta85X HD seems to be jello-free, even after the abuse it has gone through. I have been flying it strictly on 2S and 3S and it has been a very pleasant experience. It can deliver smooth flights, clean video feed and has adequate power for roaming around while recording in HD. This is not to be confused with a micro acro beast or a tiny whoop quad. I am not sure if I agree with the now-trending Cinewhoop nametag, but the Beta85X HD suits this role fine.
The frame is definitely not strong enough, the two front ducts broke quickly, in very mild crashes. The canopy is very sturdy but has a design flaw, which does not allow uptilt adjustments - as far as I know BetaFPV is already working on a re-designed canopy.
I am looking forward to an improved version with a better frame, new canopy and hopefully an ESC board that is 4S capable too.
Note: Youtube compression doesn't do the footage justice. Still figuring out export settings without resorting to up-scaling the footage for the higher bit-rate.
This is (me) getting the most out of the Caddx Turtle V2 and the Beta85X HD - Let's go!

![ImmersionRC RapidFIRE Batch #1 vs RapidFIRE Batch #2: Side-by-Side comparison of the FPV video feed
ImmersionRC may have confirmed that RapidFIRE modules of Batch #2 have mainly improved in terms of compatibility to camera/VTx/OSD setups, but what is better than finding it out on your own during a sunny day at a bando with friends, two modules, plenty of antennas and a huge box with FPV monitors and a camera inside?
TLDR: Modules from batch #1 and batch #2 seem to have identical performance. Flash the latest firmware, stick a rubber cube between the SMA connectors and consider your batch #1 module equal to a batch #2. There is no need to upgrade or mod your batch #1 module, unless you are experiencing compatibility issues.
If you have already seen my previous FPV goggle module shootouts, rest assured that the same attention to detail has been put into this round of comparisons as well. Everything used is identical between the modules, same types and lengths of wires, same plugs, high quality RCA A/V connectors etc. If you havent, definitely take a look at the relevant playlist: https://goo.gl/dWRzwz
The test quad was using a TBS Unify Pro 5G8 V3 VTx at 200mW on F4 5800MHz with an AXII antenna and a Runcam Swift 2 camera, through a Revolt OSD F/C.
Huge thanks to Kokobloko for all the flying and support. If you liked what you saw, check out his channel here: https://goo.gl/7kNpmL

![SpeedyBee Bluetooth UART Adapter (SBBUA) overview & setup - BEST FOR LESS
If you are running Betaflight and have been carrying a laptop or Windows tablet with you in order to tune or set up your quad on the field, you will be very happy to see this UART-Bluetooth adapter from SpeedyBee!
It is a small, light and easy to install board that allows you full access of all your settings, including CLI, from your phone or tablet. The GUI is very clean and easy to use, everything is nicely labeled and the setup is very straight-forward. Only enabling the BLE Switch may require that you look into your F/C manual, just to be sure about the pin assignment.
Even if you dont want to get one right now, if I were you and had an extra UART on the F/C, I would enable it just as a backup - this way if you ever damage the USB connector of your F/C, you can get a SpeedyBee BUA board, connect it to that UART and continue to use your F/C ;)
