Score: 81/100Rankings
The BETAFPV Meteor75 Pro is a 75 mm brushless whoop quadcopter offering a durable shock-absorbing canopy and powerful 22000 KV motor for indoor and outdoor FPV flying. Its higher KV and larger props reduce efficiency, leading to voltage sag and occasional VTX shutdowns. Best suited for beginners to intermediate pilots seeking a versatile, rugged tiny whoop.
The APEX FPV Kit is a beginner-focused, all-in-one racing drone offering 15-18 minute flights, dual batteries and immersive goggles. Video clarity and limited range are notable drawbacks, making it best for newcomers and indoor enthusiasts.
