There are two HD versions to choose from:

• Walksnail Avatar Mini HD VTX: Uses H.265 high-efficiency video coding, providing 1080P/60FPS image recording with 22ms ultra-low latency. It is lightweight at 10g, compatible with the Meteor85 whoop drone, and has built-in 8 GB storage for HD video recording.
• HDZero Whoop Lite Bundle: Weighs about 7g and supports 1-3S power input with 25mW/200mW RF power, capable of recording in 720P/60FPS with less than 19ms latency.

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 can also 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 the 1103 11000KV motors to achieve full power efficiency. The gyro has been updated to BOSH BMI270 for better performance and stability.

Motors & Propellers

Equipped with 1103 11000KV Brushless Motors and Gemfan 2015 2-blade props, designed for 2S quadcopters. These motors offer incredible power, smooth and quiet operation, and are lightweight. The 2015 2-blade props are lighter and durable, offering a high-efficiency flight experience.

Injection Molded Canopy for HD Camera

The Micro Canopy for HD Camera is designed to be compatible with Walksnail or HDZero HD digital VTX and has an adjustable camera lens of 0-45°. Made with injection molding technique, the canopy is durable, crash-resistant, and allows more airflow to reduce heat impact on electronic parts.

Props Out

The Meteor85 drone comes with "props out" by default, preventing the quadcopter from dipping and washing out in hard corners.
